Nintendo Switch OLED models plummet in price as Switch 2 looms
Ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2 release, retailers including Amazon, Argos and Very have dropped the price of the Switch OLED models, with shoppers able to pick up a console from £49 with one enticing deal The Nintendo Switch 2 is due to hit the shelves soon, but we've spotted price drops on the previous model that may tempt shoppers away from the new release. Nintendo's latest console is set for a June 5 launch, but since pre-orders opened in April, stock has been hard to come by. Many retailers sold out almost instantly, with countless gamers still waiting to secure their console. The Switch 2 comes with a £395.99 price tag, but ahead of its launch date, several retailers reduced the price of the previous model. Shoppers opting for the Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED can save more than £150 compared to the Switch 2, with Very slashing up to £210 off the listed price with trade-ins of other consoles – and they don't have to be Nintendo. The biggest discounts are available when handing over devices including the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, but there are still smaller savings up for grabs with other consoles like the Meta Quest 3, PlayStation 4, or even an old Gameboy. Very is currently offering the Nintendo Switch for £259, which can be reduced to £49 when trading in a PS5 – depending on its storage and condition. The same trade-in offer is available with the Nintendo Switch OLED, which usually comes in at £299 before any discounts. But for those without a console to trade in, Amazon has dropped the Nintendo Switch OLED from £250.76 to £237 for the white model. This may not seem like a huge discount, but it's the cheapest price ever offered by the retail giant, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. The blue and red OLED console is only slightly more expensive, now reduced from £251 to £241. This beats Argos ' new 'special offer price' of £299.99 for both the OLED white and blue and red models. The Nintendo Switch OLED has racked up an impressive 4.6-star rating from Amazon customers, with more than 2,800 buyers awarding it a perfect five stars. One satisfied shopper said: 'This new updated Switch OLED really is worth the upgrade. 'It has 64GB of memory, twice what the original Switch has and the console is faster at updates and loading games. With its OLED screen, it is much clearer to play games on the move and has better battery life too. Overall, it is worth every penny.' Another said: 'Not my first Nintendo Switch but my first OLED version and the difference really is night and day. The screen is a million times better than the standard Switch and Switch Lite, the games and colours pop so much more and are really vibrant. "As you come to expect with Nintendo there is a brilliant selection of games for all ages. Top tip if buying the white model, invest in a protective shell case for the actual console and joy cons.' One buyer noted a potential flaw, saying: 'I've noticed the OLED generates more heat faster than the original model. I tried dimming the brightness and lowering the volume, but the fan whirred like crazy after two hours. I advise taking breaks here and there from the Switch if in handheld mode.' But a third happy customer said: 'The Switch OLED is a fantastic iteration that elevates the gaming experience to new heights. The enhanced picture quality on the vibrant screen is an absolute delight, making every game pop with vividness and clarity that truly mesmerises. "One standout feature is the improved battery life, allowing for extended gaming sessions without interruption.'

The Nintendo Switch 2 is in stock now - where shoppers can buy before it's too late
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be released on June 5, and it has been sold out at many retailers for weeks The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to hit UK shelves on June 5, offering a glimmer of hope for gamers who have been struggling with recent stock shortages. The Nintendo Switch 2 is currently available in many locations, although it can be somewhat elusive. Stock has been gradually arriving at retailers, who are easing purchase restrictions. Even Nintendo, which has been extending invites to its most loyal customers, now permits anyone with a Nintendo account to log in and purchase one. This is ideal for those who have been waiting for the best place to buy the device. Retailers such as Amazon, Very, and Currys have added it to their inventory, alongside the brand's own site. We've got all the details Nintendo enthusiasts need to know about the device. It does vary depending on the retailer, reports the Mirror. For example, Currys is offering it as part of its bundles. Below, we've compiled everything we know so far about the console and where it can be purchased. What do we know about the Nintendo Switch 2 just weeks before its release? The console will launch on June 5 2025, and we have finally discovered its technical specifications. According to Eurogamer, the Switch 2 will boast a larger and more powerful CPU and GPU architecture, including an Ampere GPU, an ARM Cortex A78C CPU with clock speeds of 1101MHz when docked, and 12GB of LPDDR5X memory. All these factors suggest a much more proficient console capable of running contemporary games without fretting over frame rates or resolution. This should also pave the way for more third-party ports being launched on the console in the future, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks. Nintendo also revealed during the Direct that the device would feature a 1080p 120Hz 7.9-inch LCD screen, the ability to output 4K, and the ability to transform the Joy-Cons into mice. However, its hefty price tag is impossible to overlook. The most significant drawback to the new console is undoubtedly its cost. At nearly £400, it's a pricey investment for most gamers considering it solely for running newer games and an enhanced screen. Meanwhile, if shoppers want some alternatives, shoppers can grab the older Switch from Amazon for £233. Or for Playstation fans, the PS5 Pro from Argos for £699. Where can shoppers purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 console now? Nintendo is the best option for gamers eager to get their hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 console immediately. They can secure one here for £394.99 or £429.99 directly from Nintendo. Bear in mind that it's limited to one per account, so if shoppers order and cancel or desire another, they won't be able to purchase one. However, at the time of writing, it's the best place to buy it. The silver lining is that other third-party websites also have the console in stock. Very has the console in stock at the time of writing - however, it has been dropping in and out of stock. Retailers like Amazon and Currys are also worth considering as they still have bundles available for purchase.

Next's 'cute' £35 light is a 'lovely addition to the garden'
Next has delighted customers with a "cute" outdoor light featuring two "whimsical" characters. Retailing at £35, Next's Natural Set of 2 Solar Outdoor Light Up Gonks are designed to "add instant charm to your outdoor space." Many shoppers have found the pair to be a "lovely addition to the garden," while some feel they're "too nice to be outside." Several customers said the Gonks are smaller than expected, which could be something for shoppers to keep in mind. Those on the hunt for enchanting garden figures might also consider alternatives such as Very's £9.99 Solar Woodland Wizard. Coopers of Stortford also stocks the £24.99 Solar Honeycomb and Bee Gnome, while B&Q has the £22.99 Garden Gonk Holding Solar Flame. For enthusiasts of neutral decor, Next's "concrete effect" lights may hold particular allure. The other options may appeal more to those seeking vibrant garden characters, reports the Mirror. The product description for Next's gonks reads: "This charming set of 2 solar gonks is finished in a concrete effect. They will add instant charm to your outdoor space. (Image: Next) "The gonks require AA Ni-MH batteries which are included. The charge time is 6 hours with a run time of approximately 10 hours." With an average customer rating of four stars, one satisfied buyer said: "They are so effective mine sit on my lounge window sill really bright lights when the night kicks in. Too nice to be outside." One reviewer wrote: "These are so cute!! They don't need much sun to light up in the dark. Exactly as advertised. So nice I bought them my Gonk mad friend for her birthday!! I am very pleased with this purchase. Good value for the money." Another fan simply stated: "Super cute." However, several buyers noted that the lights were smaller than anticipated. One commenter admitted: "So so cute. Smaller than I expected, but my fault for not reading the description fully. I love them." A similar sentiment was expressed by another reviewer, who wrote: "Lovely addition to the garden, quite small but the lights are very bright. Would definitely recommend." A further reviewer said: "I thought these would be a bit bigger than they were but nevertheless I like their whimsical design." One shopper cautioned that the product appears larger in photos, writing: "Very cute. Bright lights. Bit smaller than you'd think from the photo but didn't put me off." Another added: "Have purchased two sets now and they intermittently keep failing to light up."
