No need to wait until Black Friday — the Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale now

The Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for $469 at Woot, slashing $30 off its $499 list price. A Mashable deal expert breaks down why it's worth grabbing now instead of waiting for Black Friday.

No need to wait until Black Friday — the Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale now

The Nintendo Switch 2 is now available for $469 at Woot, a 6% discount from its usual price of $499. This is a rare opportunity, as the console hardly ever goes on sale, especially after a $50 price increase in September. Despite the modest discount, it's still a significant savings compared to other retailers, with the Switch 2 listed at $499 on Amazon and Best Buy.

Woot is offering this deal through November 30 or until supplies run out, making it a wise choice for Black Friday shoppers looking to snag a great deal on a highly sought-after gaming console.
