Nintendo Switch 2 Hits Record Low Price at Smyths Toys

Smyths Toys has dropped the Nintendo Switch 2 to £354.99, its lowest price yet, weeks ahead of Black Friday. The deal also includes a PowerA Slim Case for £10.

Have you been holding out for a Nintendo Switch 2 deal? Smyths Toys just made your wait a whole lot easier.

The retailer has slashed the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 to £354.99, the lowest we've seen since launch. That's a £65 discount from its recent £419.99 price tag, which was already bumped up from £395.99 earlier this month. To put that in perspective, the console has only dipped to around £380 at other retailers, so you're saving about £25 more than ever before.

But wait, there's more. Smyths Toys is also offering a PowerA Slim Case for just £10 when you buy the console. That's the same case one of our writers uses daily, so it's a solid pick. Plus, you get free delivery or can collect from your local store.

Now, you might be wondering: should you buy now or wait for Black Friday? We're still about two months away from the official sales event, but retailers have been jumping the gun earlier and earlier each year. While prices could theoretically drop lower during Black Friday, the hottest deals of the past have been missing for a few years. You won't find a PlayStation for pennies anymore.

This year, Nintendo's Black Friday offers are expected to focus on bundles like Switch Sports Resort and a refreshed Mario Kart World package. Those will likely save you money on games rather than the console itself. Since neither bundle can beat this standalone discount, locking in this deal early makes sense.

Nintendo hardware also tends to hold its value well. It took years for the original Switch to see savings like this, and that was without regular price increases. So if you've been eyeing a Switch 2, this might be your best shot.
