This could be Black Friday's best Nintendo Switch OLED deal (and I'm not talking about the bundle)
Nov. 22, 2023Nintendo Switch OLED deals are storming the stage this week, with record low prices and free gift cards.

I’ll kick off with the US side of things. Dell’sBlack Friday Nintendo Switch dealsare keeping things at MSRP, but throwing in hefty gift card and there are plenty ofgames and accessorieson the site to spend your free cash on. Taking that as $75 worth of extra value, then, you can score yourself a free Pro Controller (worth more than the Smash Bros. Ultimate game you’re getting with the standard bundle) and still have change leftover.
In the UK, we’re not seeing the Smash Bros. bundle live in too many places and even then, that package is only going to be worth it for fans of the game. Instead, I would recommend heading to Amazon for that record low price. I’ve only ever seen those numbers drip down to the low £280s in the past, and that was a particularly rare occurrence.
You’ll find both of these Black Friday Nintendo Switch deals just below, and plenty more offers from the sale further down the page.

Should you buy the Nintendo Switch OLED
However, that guidance doesn’t ring true for everyone. I very rarely play in docked mode, so investing more in the handheld screen made sense to me. If you’re a big-screen player, though, the extra benefit of the display just isn’t worth it. I’d stick to the standard edition (it’s pretty much identical under the hood save for the battery and you’ll be plugged in most of the time anyway).
