All the retailers Nintendo Switch 2 is still available to order online
Tech fans have waited eight years for an update on the original Nintendo Switch Console.
Gaming fans will be over the moon today as the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched. While some shoppers are waiting for their pre-order device to come in the post, many fans said they struggled to snap up a console before they sold out.
Now that launch day is here, many online retailers have put the handheld device back in stock. However, shoppers will need to be quick as they are running on a 'first come, first served' basis.
In terms of an upgrade from the original console, the Switch 2 features a larger screen, new games, better frame rates and other new features. Shoppers have the choice of either buying the Nintendo Switch 2 Console by itself for £395.99 or paying a bit more to get the Mario Kart World Bundle for £429.99.
Many people enjoy the Switch device because of its versatility. Shoppers can either place the display screen in its docking device and play their game through their TV for a family gaming experience, or attach the Joy-Con controllers to the sides and play as a handheld device.
Some of the new games that shoppers can buy include Donkey Kong Bananza, Street Fighter 6, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild in Switch 2 editions and Super Mario Party Jamboree.
In terms of in store sales, Asda is said to be selling the new device with the exclusive Mario Kart World game included in 80 of its shops across the UK - nine of which are in Scotland.
If Scots wanted to grab the popular device at the shops to start game play straight away, they would need to go to either the Asda Living Glasgow Fort, Bridge of Dee, Clydebank, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Hamilton, Milton of Craigie, Motherwell or Toryglen stores.
For those who are happy to order online and wait a day or two for the console to arrive, many online retailers have restocked the device, including:
Amazon
Argos
Currys
EE
Very
Amazon
The Nintendo Switch 2 has already been dubbed one of Amazon's best sellers despite only selling as pre-order before June 5. At the time of writing the console has been bought by over 2,000 shoppers, whereas the Bundle deal has been snatched up by over 5,000 people.
The joy with Amazon is that shoppers can get next day delivery. So if shoppers order today they will be able to set up the device tomorrow and enjoy a whole weekend of gaming.

Argos
Over on Argos, while the console and bundle deal remains the same price, the retailer has a range of cracking deals for shoppers to snap up along with the console. For example, when gamers buy either product, they can save 20 per cent on one of the selected Switch 2 games.
Other deals include saving 30 per cent on a Joy-Con charging station or 20 per cent on the official Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case and screen protector. All of these deals can be found in the special offers section of the purchase pages. It should be noted, however, that these extra deals are only available until June 18.

Currys
Currys is giving shoppers the option to break down the cost of the device through their flexpay scheme. For those wanting the normal console, shoppers can pay as much or as little as they like for six months, with the full payment needing to be settled on December 5. This method includes no interest.
Shoppers also have the choice to pay only £16 per month on the console for 36 months. However, in the long run this offer will mean shoppers need to pay more as the total amount would end up being £576 by the end of the contract.
Unfortunately, the Mario Kart World bundle was not available on Currys at the time of writing. However, the retailer is selling the console along with game Split Fiction and a microSD Express Memory Card (256 GB) in a bundle deal for £486.
To buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Console from Currys - click HERE.
EE
Another provider allowing shoppers to break down the cost is EE. Gamers can get the Mario Kart Bundle deal for £22 per month for 24 months, with an upfront cost of £20.
This deal also comes with a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership and 24-month EE Gamer's and Video Data Passes.
To buy the Mario Kart Bundle deal from EE - click HERE.
Very
Very is also selling the Nintendo Switch 2, but shoppers will need to be quick as the retailer is already noting that stock is selling fast. It should also be noted, however, that shoppers will need to wait a bit longer to receive their device through Very as they are still doing a pre-order service - delivery is set for June 13.

This electric shaver has been hailed by men as 'top notch' and it's on offer ahead of Father's Day. Still on the hunt for the perfect gift to treat dad with this Father's Day?

Suitable to use on wet and dry skin, this shaver has 27 self-sharpening PowerCut blades that cut up to 55,000 times per minute above the skin level, offering a smooth finish with no irritation every time.

Another reliable brand on the market is Braun, with the firm's Series 7 Cordless Wet and Dry Use Electric Shaver also offering a close, fast shave. At the moment, it can be bought for just £100 at Argos, with the retailer calling it its "lowest price ever." Another deal worth bagging for dad is Boots' £30 discount on the Panasonic Wet & Dry Electric Beard, Hair & Body Trimmer that is now on offer for £39.99, down from £69.99. Meanwhile, since Amazon's 56 percent discount is sure to be popular, it's worth knowing that the Phillips 3000 Series has earned a glowing 4.4 rating from men who say it is "reliable" and "efficient."

Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else praised: "It is very quiet and efficient. Leaves no skin redness. Perfect for those early mornings when you are pushed for time. Only charged it once and it's still going!" Not everyone was impressed with the power, as one three-star review read: "This shaver is nice and practical for shaving 'on the go' and for travel, camping etc. but the motor feels a bit weak, even when fully charged." While another pleased shopper said: "This is a very good shaver. It gives a really close smooth shave and was a very reasonable price. It also has good battery life."

How to buy refurbished tech from Apple, Amazon and more
The latest and greatest tech is usually pretty expensive. Premium prices plus ongoing uncertainty around tariffs has made a lot of people naturally hesitant to invest hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in a new phone or laptop. One of the easiest ways to save money on tech products is by buying them used or refurbished. A refurbished device is one that is 'returned, repaired or restored to a like-new condition,' says Ozzy Russell, former operations manager at Back in the Box, a New Jersey tech refurbisher and seller. We explain everything you need to know about used and refurbished products, plus share a few of the biggest and best retailers marketplaces to shop. Selected. Our top picks What does refurbished mean? People often confuse refurbished, used and open-box products as the same thing. Adding to that confusion are sub-categories like factory refurbished and certified refurbished. Below is a brief explanation of the differences between these categories, according to Russell. Used and pre-owned: These items are returned by a previous owner and may show signs of wear and tear. Typically, they do not come with a warranty, and often have not been tested to see if they work perfectly. Open-box: Near-new products with little or no signs of wear. These products are quick returns from customers, display models from stores or products with damaged packaging. They may or may not include accessories or warranty. Refurbished: Returned products that are repaired or restored to a like-new condition through part replacement and inspection. Refurbished products are often tested by professionals to make sure they perform as advertised, and typically come with a warranty. Certified refurbished: These are returned products that are repaired or restored with a more intensive inspection and certification process. Certified refurbished products are sold by the original manufacturer or an authorized partner of the manufacturer. They often come with extended warranty and return periods. How I picked the best sites to shop refurbished I focused on marketplaces selling certified refurbished products because they 'meet strict quality standards set by the manufacturer and are often indistinguishable from new products in terms of performance and appearance,' says Russell. I also put emphasis on the following perks: Warranty and return: I highlighted marketplaces that offer a warranty period or return policy in case of any unexpected issues with the product. Product selection: Most popular marketplaces sell a variety of certified refurbished electronics, including smart phones, gaming consoles, home goods and cameras. Accessories: We only chose retailers that include necessary accessories like charging and power cables in the box. The best sites to buy refurbished tech Most of our favorite refurbished retailers are larger online retailers and marketplaces like Apple, Amazon and EBay. Best for Apple products: Apple Certified Refurbished What we like: In-house testing Mint condition products Something to note: Pricier than other storefronts Short return policy If you're looking to save money on Apple products, look into Apple's certified refurbished storefront. Buying directly from Apple means the device has been refurbished and tested by Apple's team, according to the brand. All Apple certified refurbished products come with a new battery, new outer shell and relevant accessories in the box. 'These iPhones typically have the highest level of quality assurance and customer support,' says Russell. All of the certified refurbished products come with free shipping and returns. It's also important to note that Apple's certified refurbished storefront has a limited stock of products, and is often more expensive than other refurbished storefronts. Product offered: Apple products | Warranty: 1 year | Return policy: 14 days | Shipping: free | Conditions offered: mint | Accessories: manufacturer included Best shopping experience: Back Market What we like: Easy to use website Great product selection Something to note: Nothing at this time Back Market is an online storefront that only sells certified refurbished tech products — that makes it easier to navigate than most other storefronts. Brands and products are sensibly organized, and you can easily select the condition and configuration of most devices on the site. That means instead of having to scroll through a huge list of iPads, I can easily select one model and choose my preferred color and spec options from there. I was sent a refurbished iPad Air (4th Generation) from Back Market to try out. Labeled as 'excellent' condition, it felt like a brand-new product to me. It had no visible blemishes, knicks or scratches, had a healthy battery and performed as expected, and continues to work great after two years of use. Most items on Back Market are sold through third-party sellers who pass Back Market's screening process. Back Market also has a specific certified renewed page for products that are refurbished and sold directly from manufacturers. Best warranty: EBay Certified Refurbished What we like: Huge selection of products Long warranty Something to note: Nothing at this time You might associate eBay with bidding on used items, but the storefront now has many new ways to shop including its certified refurbished program, which sells electronics, household tools, cameras and sporting goods, to name a few. These items come with a two year Allstate SquareTrade warranty — it's a third-party warranty, but the longest of our top picks. EBay also has a lengthy 30-day return policy. All of its certified refurbished products are in 'pristine, like-new' condition, according to the brand. Product offered: electronics, home goods, auto parts, etc. | Warranty: 2 years, third party | Return policy: 30 days | Shipping: free | Conditions offered: pristine like-new | Accessories: original or new, generic included Widest product selection: Amazon Renewed What we like: Wide product selection Generous return policy Something to note: No manufacturer warranty Hard to navigate website Amazon Renewed has a huge selection of certified refurbished electronics including smartphones, earbuds, office products and cameras. All products sold on Amazon Renewed are professionally inspected and tested to ensure they work as expected by an Amazon performance-managed supplier, according to the brand. Amazon Renewed hosts many third-party sellers, but Amazon ensures that their third-party sellers meet certain criteria to sell on Amazon Renewed. Amazon Renewed products do not come with manufacturer warranty. Instead, they come with either a one year or 90 day return policy, depending on the item's condition. Product offered: electronics, home goods, outdoor tools, etc. | Warranty: n/a | Return policy: one year for premium condition products, 90 days for all other conditions | Shipping: Varies | Conditions offered: premium, excellent, good, acceptable | Accessories: generic or original manufacturer included Other places to shop certified refurbished Samsung Certified Re-Newed What we like: In-house testing and parts Something to note: Pricier than other storefronts Samsung sells older generations of their popular Galaxy smartphones refurbished via its Certified Re-Newed page. Like Apple certified refurbished, these smartphones are refurbished by Samsung, in a Samsung facility, with Samsung parts, according to the brand. All Samsung Re-Newed products come with a one year warranty and a 28-day free return period. Best Buy Geek Squad Certified Refurbished What we like: In-house refurbishing Home or store delivery options Something to note: Possible restocking fees All of Best Buy's Geek Squad certified refurbished products are refurbished by Best Buy staff. The retailer sells electronics like Apple products, headphones and computer accessories and you can ship items to your address or a nearby Best Buy store. Walmart Restored What we like: Wide product categories Competitive prices Something to note: No manufacturer warranty Hard to navigate website Similar to Amazon Renewed, Walmart Restored sells certified refurbished products that have been handled by third party sellers who are accepted and managed by Walmart. Only a select group of Walmart sellers can participate in the program, according to the brand's FAQ page. The brand sells products across categories like tech, appliances and TVs. How to shop for refurbished tech One of the main reasons we focused on certified refurbished tech is confidence. Certified refurbished tech undergoes a more intensive repair and inspection process than returned, open-box and other used conditions. When shopping for certified refurbished products Russell recommends you: Choose a reputable seller: Many marketplaces host third-party sellers with customer reviews you can read. Look for sellers with lots of positive, recent reviews. Check the item's condition: Most marketplaces sell items in different conditions ranging from fair to excellent, although the specific wording may vary. Read up on what these cosmetic conditions mean for each marketplace. Check the age of the product: Old tech products, especially smartphones that rely on software updates, can have issues running current software and hardware, says Russell. This might lead to reduced longevity and more everyday issues over time. Verify details like warranty and return policy: Both policies can be helpful if you need to return and exchange a refurbished product. Inspect your item on arrival: When you receive your refurbished item, be sure to look it over thoroughly. If you find issues that were not mentioned in the listing, contact the seller as soon as possible, says Russell.

I've found the perfect subscription gift for difficult dads this Father's Day – it's FREE for a month
FATHER'S Day is fast approaching, but dads aren't always the easiest to buy for. But I've found the perfect solution: a 30-day free trial of Audible, with plans starting at just £5.99 a month after. 1 If your dad is anything like mine, finding the right gift can feel like a bit of a mission. Whenever I ask him what he'd like, I get the same familiar, 'I don't need anything,' response. It's one of those answers that's both endearing and maddening, making the whole gift-giving process feel more complicated. This year, though, I think I've found the perfect solution in Amazon's Audible subscription. Having used Audible myself for the better part of a year, I can confidently say it's an ideal gift for dads who are impossible to shop for. And with Father's Day just around the corner on June 15th, it's what I'll be gifting my dad this year. It's something he wouldn't think to buy for himself, and honestly, it beats yet another 'Best Dad' mug or novelty socks by a mile. The standard Audible subscription starts with a 30-day free trial and includes one audiobook per month, all for just £5.99 after the trial ends. If you're feeling generous or just want to make a bigger impression, the premium plan is worth considering. With a premium subscription, your dad receives one credit each month to select any audiobook he wants, which he can keep even after the membership ends. Plus, there's unlimited access to over 10,000 additional titles and Audible Originals through the Plus Catalogue. That's the option I'm going with, because it feels like a thoughtful gift, even if you're buying at the twelfth hour. It gives him a whole month to explore Audible's library, while giving me a chance to give a gift that feels more personal. If your dad's new to audiobooks and not sure where to start, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a great shout, with a mix of stories, reflections, and odd bits of wisdom. My own dad is a huge footie fan, with a small collection of football memoirs. There are loads of great ones on Audible, including Alex Ferguson's leadership lessons or Steven Gerrard's stories from the pitch. But whether he's more into fiction or thrillers, the bestseller section is full of options that'll keep him entertained. All in all, Audible is a solid, no-fuss gift that shows you've thought about what he'd enjoy and will get you in his good books. BUY HERE Head to The Sun's shopping Father's Day hub for more gifting ideas and deals.
