Some people reported an unwelcome surprise after picking up their Nintendo Switch 2 preorders at GameStop: staples used to attach receipts to Switch 2 boxes ended up damaging the screens on the console, as reported by IGN<\/em><\/a>. However, GameStop says this was an issue that was \u201cisolated\u201d to a single store and that it has already offered replacements.<\/p>\n

When you open the box for the Switch 2, the tablet \/ screen part of the device is just under the top flap of the packaging. The tablet\u2019s proximity to the top of the box possibly explains how staples could get through and poke holes in the screen \u2014 especially if the person using the stapler gave it a solid push.<\/p>\n

Reports started trickling in overnight as people got their preorders. In this post on X<\/a>, for example, you can see photos of two dots on the box, a bag, and the screen.<\/p>\n

To IGN<\/em>, a GameStop spokesperson said that it was \u201cinvestigating the matter\u201d and promised to \u201cmake customers whole.\u201d And on Thursday, one Reddit user affected by the problem said that<\/a> they spoke with a GameStop manager who said they would be able to exchange their damaged unit.<\/p>\n
