An amazing price on this console!
I'm not sure how many are in stock so get in quickly if you want it!
You need a prime membership to get this deal.
Out of Stock within Seconds, but try join the Waiting List to get one
Edit @ 3:30PM 17/7: This deal is confirmed to be coming back again at 4PM today.
As always, enjoy!
CamelCamelCamel.
How do you join wait list?
desktop.. doesnt work on phone app I believe.
I switched to desktop on phone but still can't see any option
From Amazon's help page:
The Join Waitlist button is active only when there are places available on the waitlist. The button is re-activated any time new places become available on the waitlist. Joining a waitlist doesn't guarantee that the deal will become available for purchase.
Thanks guys figured it out. I wasn't logged into the account that had prime active.
Bought a bose qc 35 ii instead. I guess i'll use it more with old age factor. Plus it gives me true ozbargain membership :D
Thanks OP, got one for my partner! Been having a look through games and stuff online, come across Nintendo SD cards - https://www.jbhifi.com.au/sandisk/sandisk-nintendo-switch-12…
Do I need one of them for game save data? Or is it just to store digital games?
both i think. internal storage has 32GB and some games have updates and what not
Do I need one of them for game save data?
You don't need anything, I thought you bought it for your partner?
the switch comes standard with 32GB internal storage. looks like they take micro SD cards - so wouldn't pay $149 for that card considering you can get them much cheaper elsewhere
Thanks, yeah I definitely won't be paying $149 for one. Just an example as I wasn't sure if I needed one or not.
Game saves are always stored on the internal 32GB (or in the cloud once paid online starts in september). Micro SD card is purely for eshop game downloads and patches. The 32GB should last a while if you buy physical when possible. For me Bayonetta 1 (as it was a code), and rocket league took up a fair bit. Have currently got a 64GB in there with about 20GB left.
Thanks kulprit. Will wait and see what happens, I think she prefers to have physical copies of games anyway.
damn, games on this thing are expensive haha
Plus screen protector, carry case etc lol
what have I done 😂
happy to buy @ $320 :-p
Still on the waitlist FML….
same
not sure whether i want it, but join the waitlist …
Did the same at ~ 6:40. Checked back at 7:00 and its gone. Apparently they timeout carts at 15min and release stock to the waiting list, so its worth a shot anyway.
I did check the page every 5 min or so..
but I guess they do not have more stock for the deal.
Neon and Red Switch will be on Sale again at 4pm Today
Make sure anyone who ordered check at what price they are charging you. I ordered the deal with a 1 click order within 10 seconds of going live. Claimed the deal but they still charged at full price. Had to show them screen shots of the prime page saying i had claimed the deal to get the 315 price instead of 398 like they were trying to charge me.
I got one. I don't know how but I got one.
How? I'm still waiting…
No Switch for you (and me). Come back one year.
Neon and Red Switch will be on Sale again at 4pm Toda
So, just one Amazon prime day, Amazon AU sets the record for lowest PS4 Pro, Switch, and repeats their XB1S deal in AUS.
You can see why eBay responded with eBay Plus now.
ebay plus have 9 days, then I cancel my trial membership.
Ah fk u Amazon!!! Wtf is the point of watch this deal… Sigh
I give up
Any game recommendations?
deal ended.
Never really began. They had stock for like 1 minute.
I checked like 40 mins later and they had stock. They were restocking throughout.
damn I was waiting for the stock to be replenished…T.T
Well that's another Amazon AU disappointment to add to the list, don't forget to cancel your Prime free trial.
Already cancelled. What a farce.
haha sucked in.
I was super lucky and managed to secure an order of one of these when they were 95% claimed, as opposed to the dreadful eBay deal where hundreds of units sold out within 30 seconds.
Very few stock available
Back again at 4PM FYI
Neon and Red Switch will be on Sale again at 4pm Today…. brace yourselves
Let's hope they've assigned more stock this time around lol
I doubt it… but i just wish there was a way to mass blast everyone who commented in this post… i want them all to have a chance
I asked for the mods to highlight on the FP to let people know beforehand :)
@doweyy:
Ill be watching to see how it goes… i already have a switch and managed to get mine for a bargain ages ago.. but $315 is an awesome price
75% in less than a minute
Back again already, 90% claimed already !
Rofl 90% now
GOT ONE ON THE SECOND BATCH YEEE HAWWW
Congratulations :)
was 43% claimed 10 seconds in.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand like that they are sold out again
Yeah I noticed they went on sale before 4pm, so no wonder they went out of stock so quickly
wow just happened to refresh ozbargain at 4:01 and managed to get it, after missing out yesterday!
And gone.
Just got one, get on it !!!
Gone in 3 minutes! better then last time
Lasted 2-3 min this time.
Yeah seems like ~100 were in stock :) Good on Amazon for re-running it.
GOT ONE! …
And gone. They did add more at least once as I saw it drop from 85% to 65%. Remember to join the waitlist people and be around in 15 minutes.
Wowsers that was quick
Pity no games are on sale
JB has Bomberman on sale i think
For a lightning deal there was actually plenty of time to checkout, as long as you were aware of the sale beforehand. If you were on the page or within the minute it became available, you had ample time to add it to your cart. Very impressed with these deals. Much better than the Catch "deals".
Managed to get one as well.
But still hoping they do the PS4 pro deal again as well :D
Got a Neon one! Ta
Waitlist ones should be showing up now.
GOT ONE
Any idea if 28degrees would approve a price protection claim on this lowered price?
For anyone wondering i called 28 degrees and they approved a cashback claim on the spot.
That's great to hear :)
Nice, didn't even think of that. Surprised also as I thought such a limited stock sale wouldn't qualify! Did you have to explain the sale or provide evidence or anything?
Got one after joining waitlist for about 10mins
Haven't owned a console for years and thanks to Amazon Prime I now own a PS4 Pro and a Nintendo Switch. I don't even have time to play my PC games, lol.
Welcome to being an adult. Plenty of money and not enough time.
I am an adult but I don't have either of time and money
Dammit ozbargain and amazon, an impulse buy I know nothing about!
need. this. deal.
missed again…. 100% claimed!
Thanks OP. Got one today :)
Anyone had theirs ship yet?
Nope, mine says was going to be shipped today but still hasn’t been updated.
Same here, seems like they've dropped the ball on this one.
Mine shipped out around lunchtime today
I’ve been trying to get on one of these switch deals ever since the ebay plus thing. Keeping an eye out for specials before that as well. I can’t catch a break. Either I know about the deal but the site glitches and won’t let me buy, or I don’t find out about the deal until after it’s expired. I even have bargain alerts set for “nintendo switch console” (without the word console, it comes up with far too many false positives). I check ozbargain 10-20 times a day but can’t always get on at the right time due to work. Anyone have any tips? After putting so much effort into trying to secure a good price (sub $320) I can’t bring myself to pay more than that or I’d feel like a total sucker. I’m tired of missing all the good deals. May not be the truth but it feels like I’m the only one rocking up late to the party every time.
Ask a family member or a mate to buy on your behalf.
I know your pain. I've missed all the Nintendo switch deals until this one. You'll get it soon enough.
How many times has it been available sub $320?
Never. Unless you count those times ppl bought using store discount + amex + giftcard combos.
well, I wouldn't say never, this whole thread is about a $315 price point :P but I'm assuming you mean never prior to the Prime deals?
i missed amazon lightning deal, so i bought item from ebay and copy the link of the amazon($315)
then I contacted ebay customer center for best price guarantee and show them amazon link.
luckily they accepted my request, and gave me gap + 5% discount.
in total I only pay 299 for my switch and have $99.95 ebay voucher which i can use in other ebay shopping. (voucher code only valid for 1 month)
ebay best price guarantee
https://pages2.ebay.com.au/Best_Price_Promise?_trkparms=%26c…
Nice work!
Damn I should have done that. I got one from from EB ebay store the day before the Amazon sale, got one from Amazon and then cancelled the EB one.
Should have just got ebay to give me the difference, didn't know about this
Good job on getting that price mate!

I thought I already made a click, turns out someone was quicker, it happened in the matters of seconds…
