From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you’ve been waiting for your chance to secure one of the best video game consoles that Nintendo’s ever produced (sorry Wii fans), this Nintendo Switch OLED deal at Amazon has just seen the console plummet to its lowest-ever price.
The Nintendo Switch OLED is a beefier upgrade on the original Nintendo Switch from 2017 (£259.99, Amazon.co.uk), and for the first time, it currently costs the same as the older model.
Rarely ever on sale, this is the first time the Nintendo Switch OLED has fallen below £260 before. The lowest price we’d seen prior to today was £280 in late February. And while Nintendo might be gearing up to launch a Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, the rumours so far sound a little underwhelming.
Keep reading for all the details on the Nintendo Switch OLED, and how you can secure the unmissable deal.
Nintendo Switch OLED, neon red/neon blue: Was £309.99, now £259.95, Amazon.co.uk
Discounted by a huge £50 for the very first time since the console launched in late 2021, the Nintendo Switch OLED was described as “the best version of the console yet” by our reviewer. “The OLED console has a larger and far more vibrant 7in display, boasting deeper blacks and more accurate colour reproduction,” our writer said in their review of the best game consoles.
You get 64GB of internal storage – that’s double the size of the Switch and Switch lite – meaning you can download more digital games without having to buy an SD card. And lastly, our writer raved about the better build quality. “We absolutely adore the robust kickstand that stretches across the rear, making tabletop gaming more of a joy and less of a nuisance,” they said.
Due to the popularity of the deal, Amazon is estimating a two to three-week delivery, but at a record-low price, it will be worth the wait.
