What’s the best Nintendo Switch Black Friday deal?
The cheapest price for the neon red and blue edition of the Nintendo Switch console is currently £259.99.
It’s available at this price on Argos, who’ve called it a special offer, while Game also has the console at the same price.
It’s also available from Game as bundles, including a Ring Fit Adventure Bundle for £309.99, as well as the new Pokemon Violet and Scarlet games for £289.99.
Meanwhile the grey edition of the console is available for £290.50 from Amazon, while the neon red and blue version is currently out of stock.
It’s not yet known if major retailers will have the original Nintendo Switch back in stock in time for Black Friday, but there’s another edition of the console, the OLED that you can get your hands on.
One of the cheapest places to currently get the standalone Nintendo Switch OLED model is Amazon.
The neon red and blue edition is priced at £304.75, while the white edition is priced at £303.97.
This is cheaper than the likes of Argos, John Lewis, Currys and Game, and you can keep an eye out as the online retail giant will be kicking off its Black Friday sale on 18 November.
Over on Game you can get the standalone consoles for £309.99 in neon or white, but they also have plenty of bundle packages available.
They range from £319.99 to £363.99, with games including Mario Kart 8, Mario 3D World and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
While the Nintendo Switch OLED model and Pokémon Violet and Scarlet bundles come with a Pikachu plush toy, so you’ll be saving £10 buying the bundle instead of buying them individually.
Plus, you can get a special edition OLED model, with the Pokémon edition of the console available from Argos for £319.99. It features artwork from the new Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games, which are sold separately.
We’ll update this if more deals for the Nintendo Switch and OLED model roll in during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
When is Black Friday 2022?
This year’s Black Friday will officially take place on 25 November, with a number of brands running week, or month-long discounts on thousands of products.
This includes athleisure brand, Gymshark which has launched an up to 60 percent off sale on gym gear and loungewear.
The brand has confirmed there’s “no end date just yet” for the sale, but customers can get discounts on leggings, sport bras, hoodies, shorts and more.

It’s also been confirmed that Amazon will kick off its Black Friday Week on 18 November, with deals expected to run into Cyber Monday on 28 November.
If you’re an Amazon Prime member, then you’ll be able to access Black Friday deals before anyone else.
