Bundle Includes:
Nintendo Switch Console
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Full Game Download)
Providing single-player and multiplayer thrills at home the Nintendo Switch system also enables gamers to play the same title wherever whenever and with whomever they choose. The mobility of a handheld is now added to the power of a home gaming system to enable unprecedented new video game play styles.
On the listing it says "Nintendo Switch (Original)" so it might be the old model, I've sent them a question to ask if that is the case or not.
Release year: 2019.
And the red package, should be new model.
Just got it! Got Pokemon Sword for $63 as well!

May I ask for the link please.
Mate, you are awesome.
Thank you.

Currently no decent deal for Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

It AU Stock, so yes.
Glad I checked.
Target all out of switch
Cheers.
I paid the full amount using gift cards when there was less than 10 sold, now my payment's stuck in pending.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you OP, ordered …
All these switch deals but not for lite :(
It is the old model. it says Model: Nintendo Switch (Original)
Release Year: 2019
It also has:
Release Year: 2019
Title: Nintendo Switch Neon Joy-Con Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Console Bundle
Year: 2019
I've asked them to clarify. They could claim this bundle is released 2019 even if it was the old model inside.
I was concerned too but then I checked their website: https://www.gamesmen.com.au/nintendo-switch-neon-joy-con-con…
The 2019 console also has "Original" on it
Maybe Original means not the lite?
I get why people are cautious about it being the older model, but seriously, I must be the only one who would be happy if that was the case.
it cause the old model isn't old enough to be exploitable.
So it a downgrade, with a worse battery life.
I thought the older boxed models aren't patched?
edit: that indeed sucks if that's the case
I don't really follow the homebrew scene, but I was under the assumption that only the early release were exploitable.
is this the new model with longer battery playing?
Yes.
i want to buy a switch the question is can it be connected to a monitor just like wii? and is the any sport games and will this drop below 300 soon?
can it be connected to a monitor just like wii
Yes, just standard HDMI output.
any sport games
drop below 300 soon
Unlikely.
Comes with receipt for TRS refund?
They have a physical store, so you can contact them for a Tax Invoice.
Hi RichardL, just comparing switch deals between Gamesman and Amazon.
Would you know if a Switch bought from Amazon is suitable for TRS refund?
Yes it would be. Amazon AU provides a Tax Invoice on all their orders (which can be viewed from My Orders).
Has anyone been able to confirm this is indeed the NEW model, or is this like the US and they've bundled the OLD model in a newish looking box
I doubt anyone will hear back from the seller until tomorrow, but by its use of "(original)" it might just mean not the lite.
It says 2019 as the publication year, and the battery life says 4.5 to 9 hours which is the battery life of the new switch.
My bet would be its the new switch, if it's not the battery life section on the write-up would be a blatant lie.
Yep, if it isn’t free return as item not as described
good point. good enough for me. Bought!
Its looks like the new version if you check the specs on the Nintendo Website and then to the description on the Gamesman site they match up
Nintendo Site
Product serial number starts with "XAW"
Approximately 2.5 - 6.5 hours
The battery life will depend on the games you play. For instance, the battery will last approximately 3 hours for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Product serial number starts with "XKW"
Approximately 4.5 - 9 hours
The battery life will depend on the games you play. For instance, the battery will last approximately 5.5 hours for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Gamesman

Worth selling my older model and buying this one? Havnt used my switch in a while but will be over the holidays and hopefully beyond.
If you haven't patched it, people are interested in it for home brew.
Other posters have said they sold their old units for around $340, so you could upgrade for pretty much no cost with today's deals.
For anyone who bought this bundle last night, I've just successfully used the eBay Price Guarantee.
The eBay Price Guarantee gives you the difference + 5% from the Amazon price of $349. About $43.
I actually got more back, I think they stuffed up the calculation. YMMV though.
Thank you, how do you do that?
You just need to talk to a rep. I did it using the online chat in the eBay App. (Help > Contact us > Chat)
Then you just give them your eBay item ID (from your confirmation email) and the Amazon link. It'll only work if it's the same bundle (mario kart). If you bought one of the other bundles that had two games, it will not work.
I had some luck with the Odyssey bundle in chat. Will have to wait and see if I get the voucher on my eBay account though. You can always try.
Yup I did the same and got $43 voucher back to use in 90 days. They needed the Amazon link. Hurry before it shows out of stock.
Thanks. Unfortunately the Amazon price has gone back to $389 so couldn't prove they offered it for $349. So annoyed (mostly at myself for not waiting up til midnight)
@Cheapotle: Thank you, I managed to cancel my order and went with the EB Games one, eBay+ trial $339 click and collect.
Thanks for that, did you guys get your price match voucher immediately?
@aj01: Yep, in the chat with the rep.
It now shows up when I look at products too showing me I can apply it.
This deal is dead =0(
Still available.
This seems to be the best NS deal at the moment, especially if you have discounted gift cards.
