The Nintendo Switch bundle is $445.05 shipped from EB Games eBay. Available in neon & Grey
Mario + Rabbids costs $69 and has gotten excellent reviews. If you don't like it, it's worth $39 cash or $50 credit at CeX (and probably EB Games).
That makes the console cost ~$400 which is the cheapest it's been in a little while and is definitely the cheapest price right now.
I'm sorry, what?
@PictureMeBroken: Woah man, I'm sorry. I just thought it might give people context as to whether I should jump in at this price considering I recently have acquired a gaming PC and am a little struck for time. I didn't mean to offend dude..
Honestly I don't think prices will drop below $350 by next June. Unless you were planning on buying Mario + Rabbids I would suggest waiting for a proper <$400 deal, especially since you said you won't be using it much right now.
If you really want Mario+Rabbids then get on this deal. If you really just want a Switch (which I highly recommend) then you could just wait for another ~$380 deal to pop up. Don't expect Nintendo products to have any substantial discounts.
How cheap has the Switch been in the past? Worth getting it now or waiting for holiday sales?
As low as $374.
If you want Mario + Rabbids, this is a pretty awesome deal!
From recent memory there was this deal but no games included: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/329641
I wouldn't be surprised if we did see a cheaper Xmas bundle out to combat Xbox One X release..
Seems reasonable to me then
Was gonna get Destiny 2 on PC but now I'm heavily considering getting Mario Odyssey and this instead
For Aussie stock, the cheapest to date has been $380 for a new console standalone (EB Games eBay, September). $347 for a refurbished one.
You can buy a refurbished one using this deal right now for $385, standalone.
Game included but…
Has-Been Heroes Metacritic 53 (RRP $39.95)
Mario + Rabbids Metacritic 85 (RRP $89.95)
Obviously you wouldn't pay RRP but people didn't seem that happy with HBH
Give me Mario odyssey deal :)
I bought this in store for $489 :( all well, guess that's the no waiting for shipping tax..
trade value for the game is $29 at eb
Good Lord
Will buy a Switch when it comes down to $250-$300 and the Pokemon RPG game comes out :D
I'm waiting for Xmas deals bundles which I believe will be competitive price by then. This is a great deal tho with the game for those who don't want to wait till near end of the year lol
I highly doubt that the console will drop to less than $300 even when the time comes for the Pokémon RPG..
I would jump when it's sub-$400. I think it's more likely that a Switch v.2 comes out before the console retails for less than $400.
At the point you might be able to get the v.1 for sub-$400.
Switch v2? It hasn't even been a year.
Thanks, keep us updated
If anyone in ADL wants to swap the Mario + Rabbids game for a brand new Mario Kart when they get it let me know.
I'd seriously consider it - not in Adelaide anymore but visiting a couple of times before Christmas.
Not a prob, PM but gotta be sealed and new.
Is your MarioKart sealed and new?
It never came sealed from EB Games, but yes, new. Sale sticker still on the front, decided to go digital with the eShop voucher sale a few weeks back
I over heard an eb employee stating they have their black fridày sale coming up soon. Don't know what it will have on offer but could be worth a wait.
good deal for the switch!
Bit of a long shot but is there any way to make this pick-up?
Nope. It gets delivered by road mail.
Thanks OP, have been on the fence for a while and decided to finally pull the trigger.
Not really keen on the Mario + Rabbids game so I’ll eBay that and hopefully it brings it to around $400 or so which is decent. Not quite the best ever price but close enough.
I’ve sold my old PS3 and Wii that were gathering dust and the Wii U will get sold off, so should come out in front still. :)
Going on a on holiday with the family just before Christmas so this should provide some good gaming fun on the go.
You should give Rabbids a go. It's a really good game and well worth playing through before selling.
Yeah definitely worth playing once then sell it. Theres no replay value at all really unless you just enjoyed the game a whole lot. Value wouldnt really drop a whole lot for playing it anyway.
Done will be picking up odyssey for $62 on friday and waiting for my switch to rock up on Tuesday. Cheers OP!!!!!
can you share where you got mario odyssey for $62? thanks
Big W have that price :)
trying really hard not to pull the trigger here… hoping there is a cheaper sell somewhere at black friday or xmas time…
This is a good deal but im pretty sure it will get cheaper at some point.
It’ll always get cheaper, just depends how long you want to sit on the sidelines :) perhaps we see a $399 bundle deal for Christmas but unlikely I reckon. Time will tell.
Yeah I think you're right but I have a feeling about a year later it should see a fairly large drop. Like I dunno how much but I'm guessing it should happen like that.
@MrSammyMcG: I have until June 28th to purchase a Switch before I venture off around Europe for 3 months.. Fingers crossed it drops even a little by then.. Least EB will have another Mid Year Sale by then too..
nice price OP, unfortunately I am not going to pull the trigger yet. I already have too many consoles and I don't need another one !!
OMG hold out or buy…. need to buy the kids this for xmas anyway…
Just hold, the real deals are yet to come -_-
I feel you man! I'm going to be strong and hold.. The jolly old man in Red surely has to whip up a mean Xmas deal!
EB Games have a deal for trading in a 3DS XL + one game for a
$120 discount on the switch. We have a spare 3DS XL so my son
is keen to trade. I will show him this deal first. Thanks OP.
So.. so tempting.. I just splashed $2,000 on a gaming computer & I definitely am getting a Switch before my Europe trip next June. If I buy it now I won't be getting much use out of it. Do you think prices next June will be cheaper/ same but different deal?
