Switch 2 Drops to $469 at Woot in Early Black Friday Sales

A $30 cut on the Switch 2 is the headline, but the deeper discounts sit on a 512GB SanDisk card, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and renewed older consoles.

Woot has the Nintendo Switch 2 at $469, $30 below its $499 list price, with Black Friday still weeks away.

That is a 6% cut, and it applies to the standard model only. Stock is tight on the Zelda edition of the Switch 2, and no deals have turned up on it or on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2. Amazon Prime members get free shipping at Woot, though Woot deals tend to sell out fast.

The percentages get more interesting elsewhere:

  • SanDisk 512GB microSD Express card: $159.99 at Amazon, down from $199.99 (20% off). It is licensed by Nintendo for the Switch 2 and rated for write speeds up to 650MB per second and read speeds up to 880MB per second.
  • Pokémon Legends: Z-A: $49.94 at Amazon, down from $69.99, a $20.05 saving of about 29%.
  • Belkin Switch 2 travel case: $24.99 at Amazon, down from $29.99. It holds the console, an AirTag, up to 12 game cards, cables, and a cleaning cloth.
  • Renewed older models: a Switch at $198.99 (from $339) and a Switch OLED at $265.99 (from $387.99), cuts of roughly 41% and 31%.

The storage deal is the one with a clock on it. Memory is in short supply and prices continue to rise, so a $40 discount on a card that costs about a third as much as the console is a better bet than waiting for a bigger markdown that may not come.

The pattern is lopsided. The smallest percentage cut falls on the priciest new item, the console, while the games, storage, and refurbished hardware carry the bigger reductions. Anyone who already owns a Switch 2 gets more from this batch than someone still deciding whether to buy one.
