    solid price

    New switch with double battery life coming soon

    • +9

      Still don't know whether we will get the same discounts though.

      • +1

        Not on the new but it will mean old stock will be cheaper

        • +2

          Regardless of the discount the better cpu and double battery life are both priceless. Makes buying one of these old models ridiculously stupid unless you're an ozbargainer planning on leaving it attached to the dock 100% of the time.

          • @Lighter Fluid: Maybe not, we don’t know what they intend to do exploit wise with the new models, if they find a way to stop or it make it more difficult for the average person, getting your hand on an older model switch can still have its benefits

            • @wahush: The improved battery life one is already the 3rd update to the 'old' model, the 2nd one hardware patched a lot of exploits. So if you wanted one easy for the 'average person' you're months too late by now unless Big W has dead stock from the back.

      • You won't, they're probably clearing stock. What you can do is buy the new version at any price through 28degrees card and claim price protection on it within 12 months when it goes on sale - Prime Day would probably work well or if you wait a few months then Boxing Day.

      wow double?! soon?

      i heard it was a "more" and would be next year. but then again, it's all rumors.

      if you want a switch, this is a great buy

    • +4

      Not double life.

    • time for a switch

  • +8

    Shit like this makes the Switch mini an even harder sell.

    Fantastic price for a fantastic console. A bit better than the dude who wanted 40 bucks less for a god damned PS TV that JB and EB were literally giving away with PS4 sales in the day.

    • The Switch Mini will still sell well IMO..

      • I don't think you're wrong, but it's not great value imo. You just lose too much for the price difference. I guess if they come down in sales it will be more appealing. As soon as you add on a set of joycons, you'd be better off getting normal model.

  • So tempting but new model next month, surely stupid to buy now?

    • +6

      The new model just has a bigger battery so if you play docked most of the time than this is a good deal.

      • +8

        The new one actually has the same battery capacity. The system is just more efficient so the battery life is longer.

      • +3

        Not sure why you got a neg - battery life is irrelvant to me (and many others) as it is always docked. Never once played it handheld - i have a 55" tv and 5.1 speakers, why would i play on a tiny screen lol

        • +7

          Why? Because some people play on trains, planes, at events, etc.

            @Kill Joy: But why would he?

            • +6

              @Apoca89: Let me quote the relevant parts of my answer to make it clear

              play on trains, planes, at events, etc.

              He asked why you would play on a small screen, those are some of the reasons. If you dont do any of those then you have your answer as well.

              • -1

                @Kill Joy:

                He asked why you would play on a small screen,

                Actually he didn’t - he asked why he would play on a tiny screen, not anyone else. Your points are valid of course, but for others.

                Our switch gets played portable a lot, but still mainly inside the house (and still plugged in to power). So that is another usage mode. Also in the car (where it is also plugged in).

                I doubt the new Switch will be much under RRP for a bit, so this deal could well be $100 cheaper than the new one for the next little while. So for homebodies it’s quite a good deal and isn’t really “stupid” to buy now if you aren’t a traveler or away from 240V much.

        • Me too.

        • +2

          Because more efficiently mean less power use, and less power use means less heat. Even if the old and new gpu are meant to preform the same the new one would likely preform better due to less overheating - that means better FPS and adaptive resolution.

          This benefit should affect both docked and handheld mode.

  • 2 hours more battery in the new model, the old stock will have to come down more than this imo

  • Good deal but will wait for the bigger battery version and after they fixed the controller drift problem

    • or buy a launch switch and put android on it

  • +1

    Any idea if they’d match the price in store ?

    • Last time they told me they dont price match online store, even when it is their own ebay store. You can try

  • +1

    Out ot stock

    • +2

      You were negged but it was actually out of stock when you posted that comment.

      • +1

        It is back in stock as a different SKU now (from Grey to Neon)

        • +1

          Yep, saw your post below! Very tempting to be honest…

  • +1

    Back in stock as Neon now

  • +1

    Out of stock for neon too

  • And of course I miss it by 24 hours just as we were looking at getting a second console..

    • +1

      Don't feel too bad, I checked it 4 hours after this was posted and it was already sold out.

  • So this deal is back on. Theres stock now for both the Grey and the coloured.

  • This is back on just order one for myself!

  • Seems to be out of stock again

  • Seems to be in stock again! (Just clicked to look - didn't test code)
