The official intend Switch 2 price hike is fast approaching as it is set to go live starting in September. Now is the time to finally score a Switch 2 (or another one) and there are some notable deals floating around still. However, if you have a Switch or Switch OLED laying around, Best Buy is offering enhanced trade-in values right now as part of a special promotion – you can land up to $130 off Switch 2 with trades and an additional $75 trade-in bonus.
If you’re not looking to trade in right now, these are the two best deals for a Switch 2 right now:
- Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499
- Up to $530 value now, up to $580 value after upcoming price hike
- Nintendo Switch 2 (Grade A Refurb) $400
- Up to $450 value now, $500 value after the price hike
However, if you do have a previous-generation Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, or Nintendo Switch Lite, you can leverage Best Buy’s limited-time trade-in bonus promotion to score a serious deal on a Switch 2:
Swap out your old Switch and upgrade to Nintendo Switch 2. For a limited time, trade in your used Nintendo Switch – OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, or Nintendo Switch Lite, and get a $75 trade-in bonus toward a Nintendo Switch 2.
You could also receive a Best Buy Gift Card to apply toward your new console:
- Up to $130 for Nintendo Switch – OLED Model
- Up to $75 for Nintendo Switch
- Up to $60 for Nintendo Switch Lite
For example, if you have a Nintendo Switch – OLED Model to trade-in, you can land up to $205 back towards a Switch 2. While “customers may also receive a Best Buy Gift Card for the trade-in value of the old device,” you’re still looking at an effective price at $245 for a regularly $450 Switch 2 right now.
