Nintendo Switch OLED console

    Hi all,


    My son is looking for the latest switch console for his birthday. i know nothing about game consoles whatsoever but I saw the cost online and in stores and they are approx €350 and that’s without a game, which is very steep.

    I am also looking on adverts.ie to see if I can source a cheaper alternative.


    I did see though that a refurbished switch oled device can be bought for approx €250 in some stores in Ireland. Has anyone ever bought a refurbished product from one of these stores and id so are there any negatives? The refurbished offer states it comes with a 5 year warranty.


    Thanks,

    When’s the birthday? New console within the next months so it won’t be the latest any more. More likely to get a better value OLED after the announcement at least

    Yep, also check Amazon warehouse/resale then.

    thanks all. The birthday is at end of January. What is an Amazon market place sale and do they let you know in advance if a product will be on sale by any chance as a favourite or mailing list ?

    They are products that people return to amazon in various condition levels that Amazon resell. No notice in advance.

    I got a Switch barely unopened for about 100 quid a while back. I bet you'll see a lot of Switch 1s here when the new model comes out/is announced. But it's only a bet.

    Also, I would say nintendo will continue to see Switch 1s at discounted prices after Switch 2 announcement/release for a couple of years.
