Best Buy’s bundle is far cheaper than I've ever seen a standalone console.

I've been doing this a long time, so I know the tiny fluctuations in price applied across the Switch range. And I like to think I know what will happen during Black Friday. But Best Buy has just blown everything out of the water by slashing a new OLED bundle deal down to about $20 lower than I've ever seen a standalone console on sale for – get the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe OLED bundle for $275.99 right now. That's a real-terms saving of $144.

Let's break it down. The console itself is usually $349, which is the RRP of the bundle – that bundle would normally get you 79.98 of added value in the form of the Mario Kart 8 game AND and 12 months of Switch online direct from Nintendo.

Save $144 overall: Nintendo launched this bundle this year at $349, which gave you $79.98 of added value in the form of the download of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game and a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Best Buy has now crashed this price by $75! So you can get the bundle for lower than we've ever seen the console go for alone. Also included are two White Joy-Con controllers and, of course, it has that glorious 7-inch OLED screen.

Price history: We've only seen the OLED console retail for $299.99 in the US (lower for imported models but not as low as this deal!)

As above but without the OLED console, replacing it with the non-OLED original. This is a great price if you don't mind not having the shiniest version of the Switch console.
