At $249.95 on Woot, this Nintendo Switch OLED (International Model) is the lowest price we’ve seen it go for (according to price trackers), beating even the usual sale lows by $50.
Amazon’s listing still sits at $349, which makes this offer tempting, especially if you’re already a Prime member, since you’ll get free standard shipping (otherwise shipping is $6). This unit doesn’t include a manufacturer’s warranty but does come with a 90-day limited warranty from Woot. It also won’t ship to Alaska, Hawaii, APOs, or PO Boxes. As for the console, it’s fully compatible with all Nintendo Switch games and accessories.
This OLED model shares the same core features as the U.S. version but includes some upgrades over the original Switch. (For more details, check out PCMag’s in-depth review of the Nintendo Switch OLED.) Its main upgrade is the larger, brighter seven-inch OLED screen, which makes handheld play look and feel noticeably better. Its vibrant colors and sharp contrast reportedly make even older games look better. Storage is doubled to 64GB; the stand on the back is actually usable now (wide, adjustable, and stable); and the speakers are surprisingly punchy for a handheld device. In docked mode, it supports wired LAN via the dock’s Ethernet port, which is helpful if your wifi isn’t the most reliable (though you’ll need to supply your own LAN cable). The bundle includes the dock, Joy-Cons, grip, wrist straps, HDMI cable, and a U.S. power adapter—so you’re not left scrambling for extras.
Still, a few trade-offs come with this price cut. You’re getting an international model without Nintendo’s standard warranty, so if long-term coverage matters to you, this may not be ideal. Also, you’ll want to manage expectations on things like internal storage—64GB fills up quickly with digital games, so an SD card is pretty much a must-have. But for most people, especially those who just want a better screen and don’t care about a warranty they may never use, this deal makes sense. That said, if you’re eyeing the next big thing, the Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade—but there’s no rush, says our associate tech editor.
