Should I wait until Black Friday to buy a Nintendo Switch?
Although the actual Black Friday day isn’t until next Friday 24th November, we’ve seen a lot of retailers release Black Friday deals throughout the whole of November. But how can you be sure you won’t get a better deal on the 24th? The RadioTimes.com team have compared the deals from previous Black Friday sales to now to advise you whether it’s time to snap up a deal.
In previous years, we’ve seen console and game bundles, the Nintendo Switch OLED drop to £239.99, and free gifts, such as accessories, added to consoles, which isn’t dissimilar to what we’re seeing so far in November 2023. In our Nintendo Switch offers article, the cheapest price for a Nintendo Switch OLED is currently £268.01 and, just like in this guide, you can shop discounted games and accessories, as well as bundles which will see you get something a little extra for your money.
However, with Nintendo’s Black Friday sales running until Sunday 3rd December, if you haven’t seen a deal you’re completely sold on, we’d recommend hanging on to see if any additional offers are added – we’ll cross our fingers and toes for you that they are!
