Prime Day is nearly here, the Amazon-iest day of the year. Well, days, because not only does Prime Day now run for a full 48 hours, but we’re actually now getting it for the second time this year.
OK, so technically this is the Prime Early Access Sale, but let’s be real – no-one’s calling it that. This is Prime Day 2.0, and a primer for the big Black Friday sales due in November.
As with any major sale these days, it’s likely that the Nintendo Switch will be one of the most popular bits of tech to pick up in the sale. That’s where we come in. We’ve done our best to scour the web for the biggest savings on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games in both the US and UK so that you can play for less this year.
We’re looking for savings on the console itself primarily – with the regular Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite all available. That includes bundles, plus we’ll be rounding up any really great deals we spot on accessories from Joy-Con controllers to carry cases and microSD cards – not to mention the games themselves.
Like Prime Day, the Prime Early Access Sale is an Amazon event, and requires you to be a Prime subscriber to take advantage of the best deals – though remember that you can sign up for a free trial to get all the benefits during the sales period. We sometimes also include offers below from rival retailers in both the US and UK too, as stores do their best to undercut Bezos any way they can.
Check out our round-up of all the best Prime Day deals for offers on other tech too, or bookmark our pick of the best Switch deals for a ranking of savings from every retailer that we keep updated year-round.
