Traditional wisdom tells us that waiting for the Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals is absolutely the best way to get the console cheap. And yes, you do see significant savings on Switch during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But that doesn't mean you should stop looking for deals in the weeks before (and after). In fact, if you just want to save money on the console and beat the rush around the sales, you can actually pick up a cheap Switch deal right now. We've seen several retailers offering Switch consoles cheap just today, so we've decided to round the best offers up in one place. Might be something here you like...

As a note of caution, you need to make sure that the cheap Switch deal you're picking up is worth having. Nintendo recently released a new model of the console, with improved battery life, and this is the one you want. While the older models still work just fine, you need to know what you're paying for. You might also find yourself a deal on the Nintendo Switch Lite, but as this console really is brand new, that seems unlikely. What is very possible, however, is actually getting a Switch for FREE as you'll see below. And you'll often find these bundles include some of the best Nintendo Switch games too.

Today's cheap Switch deals

Nintendo Switch + Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu | £299 (save £21.88)

Nintendo Switch + Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu | £299 (save £21.88)
Amazon currently has a new Switch console, with the latest Pokemon game, for less than £300. That's a decent saving, and likely to rival most Black Friday prices.

Nintendo Switch console | £251.10 (save £27.90)PRISTINE

Nintendo Switch console | £251.10 (save £27.90)
If you head over to eBay and find a Switch console via one of the major retailers, like Currys, you can knock off 10% at checkout using the code: PRISTINE.

Free Nintendo Switch with Samsung phone deals

Free Nintendo Switch with Samsung phone deals
If you're planning to upgrade your phone, you can actually get a FREE Switch console right now. Or a 4K TV if you'd prefer that. It'll save you £300 either way.

View Deal

There's loads to love here. And while there are currently no US-based offers on Switch consoles (we will add them if we find them), you can bet that they're coming real soon. If you're not tempted by Switch, then you'll find all formats in our Black Friday game deals round-up, which is actually starting to fill with deals quite nicely. You'll also find handy hints in there about how to get a good Switch deal when Black Friday lands later in the month.

And if you need more, we have guides to PS4 Black Friday deals and Xbox One X Black Friday deals.
