Most of the reports appear to be coming from the aforementioned GameStop location in New York. No one knows the full extent of the damage, but a since-deleted Reddit post allegedly stated that Gamestop (presumably the New York location) had its entire pre-launch batch of Switch 2s damaged by staples.
The first refurbished Switches are at the New York Gamestop. They'd better get a discount for that one. Also, why are the boxes so thin? This packaging should be idiot proof.
