  "account": "Preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2 and The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Edition sold out immediately upon opening. Major U.S. retailers like Target, Best Buy, and GameStop quickly enabled preorders, which filled up just as fast. Scarcity made the limited-edition console a prime target for scalpers on eBay, where it has been resold for as much as $1,000, nearly double the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Nintendo included exclusive peripherals such as a Zelda-themed controller and carrying case in the package, adding to the console's desirability among fans. While the Switch 2's standard MSRP is $519.99, the special edition's premium price is justified by its unique design and collector's value. For fans eager to secure one before scalpers scoop them up, preordering soon through Amazon, Walmart, or Best Buy remains the best bet.",
