Switch 2 Black Friday deals are starting to pop up — wait for a bundle or just buy the console now?
Switch 2 Black Friday searches are picking up and I'm seeing early deals trickle out ahead of the big sale week. I have been holding off buying one since launch, and now I can't tell if the smart move is grabbing a deal the minute it appears or waiting to see if a real bundle shows up. Nintendo consoles barely ever get a straight price cut, so is the bundle the only actual saving? Has anyone tracked how Switch deals usually play out over Black Friday week — do the good bundles sell out fast or stick around?

- Wait for the bundle, the console itself never drops
Nintendo hardware basically never gets a straight price cut, so don't wait for the console alone to go on sale — it won't. The real saving is always the bundle: a game or accessory thrown in at or near the console price. Last year the Switch OLED bundles were effectively $50 off once you counted the included game. Watch the week of the 19th and grab a bundle with a game you'd buy anyway; skip the ones padded with a cheap accessory you don't want.
