$349.99 Save $50

Best Buy has the best deal on a current-generation Nintendo Switch ahead of its successor's release later this year: As of Feb. 4, a white OLED system in Geek Squad Certified Refurbished condition is on sale there for just $299.99, or $50 off its usual sticker price. It works like new and has a 90-day warranty.

For comparison's sake, the same refurbished Switch is going for $319.99 in the My Nintendo Store, Nintendo's official online storefront, though it comes with a one-year warranty. It's also worth noting that this particular Switch is the only discounted Switch that's still in stock at Best Buy: All of its bundle deals and other refurbished models listed for $10 to $50 off were sold out at the time of writing. (That includes the OLED Switch's neon blue/neon red counterpart.)

Released in 2021, or four years after the original Switch console, the OLED variant features a sturdier kickstand, better speakers, and twice as much built-in storage (64GB) compared to its predecessor. The OLED in its name refers to its 7-inch OLED display, which is crisper and more colorful than the OG model's 6.2-inch LCD display. It's effectively a Switch 1.5.

Shortly after it launched, then-Senior Games Reporter Adam Rosenberg called the OLED model "the best Switch yet" while cautioning existing Switch owners against rushing to upgrade. That's probably still the case, but if you're running into issues with an existing console, this is a tough deal to beat. First-time Switch owners and those with a handheld-only Lite model would also be wise to consider it.
