Friendly Tips
Tip 01: Select a location with less tax
Tax in Newfoundland is 15%.
Setting your location to Alberta..., you can pay 5% instead.
Or you can just shop for digital codes, specifically on: www.gamestop.ca/Digital and just skip the taxes all together.
$79.99 x 1.05 = $83.99 (Alberta)
$79.99 x 1.15 = $91.99 (Newfoundland)
$79.99 x 1.00 = $79.99 (Gamestop Digital Code)

Tip 02: Earn more Gold Coins
Buying your games digitally means you get 5% back in Gold Coins.
Which you can then use to buy even more games, DLC and etc...
But they will expire after a year.
1 Gold Coin = 1 cent ($79.99 = $4 back)

Tip 03: Digital Collection VS. Physical Collection
By going digital you can do the following...
- Game share with trusted friends and family
- Earn more Gold Coins to buy more games and DLC
- Be insured should you ever lose your Switch or games for whatever the reason (House catches fire, you lose it on a trip or someone breaks in and steals your stuff)
All you have to do and as long as Nintendo is still around is just rebuy a Switch and micro SD card, log into your account... and you're pretty much good to go.
Just might want to give Nintendo a call at (1-800-255-3700) and request them to unlink your original main Switch, to make your new Switch, your main Switch so then it's not your secondary Switch.
By going physical...
- Once it's gone... it's gone
- You can share... but then you can't play it until you get it back
- You might end up paying a lot more depending on where you live due to taxes and resellers
- You'll earn a lot less Gold Coins and might not even get anything at all, as you're only able to redeem within the years time of release
Example: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild came out 03/03/2017. Buying it physically now will earn you 0 Gold coins as it is long past 03/03/2018. And also a cart can only be redeemed once. Your copy could be pre-owned and you might not even know it. So you're not even guaranteed.

Tip 04: Save money on Nintendo Switch Online
Get the Nintendo Switch Online Family Plan, (or the NSO + Expansion Pass) or team up with someone who already has this plan.
By doing so, this can save you and others a lot of money.
And no pun intended... you can switch people in and out (As long as they're 13+) as many times as you like.
