Nintendo’s OLED Switch is $50 off for members at Sam’s Club

If you want a Switch OLED, you usually have to pay $349.99 — $50 more than the standard Switch. That isn’t the case right now for Sam’s Club members, who can get one, along with a whole mess of free accessories, for $299.99 by selecting “Take-out” before adding one to your cart.

In addition to the console, which includes two white Joy-Cons, this bundle comes with a 256 GB SanDisk microSD card, a wired PDP Faceoff Deluxe Plus controller (featuring a headphone jack for wired listening), PDP’s LVL40 wired gaming headset, and the Mario Commuter Case to carry all of it. All of that usually costs $439.98, but you’re saving $140.

These prices were correct at the time of publication.

At Sam’s Club, the Switch OLED (white) includes four accessories: a wired controller, a wired headset, a 256 GB microSD card, and a commuter case.

A membership to Sam’s Club costs $50 per year for its Club tier, or $110 per year for its Plus tier, which offers more perks, including free shipping. The cost for shipping for members of its Club tier is $4, which isn’t bad.

The main difference between the Switch OLED and the regular Switch is the display. However, there are some other benefits. Its features a 7-inch OLED 720p display, which has far greater contrast and color accuracy than the standard Switch’s 6.2-inch LCD panel. You also get twice the storage on the Switch OLED (64GB versus 32GB), smaller bezels surrounding its display, better speakers and a much more robust kickstand. In terms of power, however, it’s identical to other Switch consoles. An additional perk is that the dock includes an Ethernet port, which allows for faster online speeds.

The following deal was brought to my attention by Wario64’s Twitter account, and the timing is great, since today is Mario Day, a time when Nintendo and many retailers discount almost anything with the word “Mario” in its name. Sam’s Club says that this deal will last until April 9, but it might be best to take advantage of it sooner than later, in case dwindling stock causes the retailer to yank the offer.
