Nintendo Switch OLED crashes to lowest ever price ever ahead of Black Friday
A flurry of awesome deals in the UK and US.
The Nintendo Switch OLED has reached its lowest ever UK price ahead of Black Friday. Reduced by a massive £72 the most premium Switch on the market right now is just £227.99 at OnBuy. With the Switch 2 confirmed for sometime next year, we're not surprised to see great deals over this sales season.
During Prime Day in October, there was a similar offer, but £1 more expensive. I can't see the OLED Switch dropping a huge amount more... but I'm willing (and very happy) to be proved wrong.
If you're in the US, things are almost as exciting – there's a rare $53 off the OLED model, bringing it to $281 at Walmart, which is a brilliant price cut. We have seen slightly lower for imported models (which this is – but don't worry it doesn't affect the playing experience at all), but only a couple of times before.

Get the fanciest Switch around, with its big bright screen for a record low price ahead of Black Friday. We've seen it drop to slightly higher than this for Prime Day but never this low.

This is an imported model with Japanese specs, but don't let that worry you. Besides the packaging, you'll just need a converter for your plug and you'll be good to go. This is a brilliant price – we have seen imports go for the mid $260s before but rarely, and only in the midst of sales events.

The OLED screen brings you amazing contrast, colours and beautiful visuals – it's a world away from the normal Switch screen, which is in LCD. And the kickstand will help stabilise your console if you're playing on a tabletop.
