This trick saves you $45 on a Nintendo Switch OLED

The Nintendo Switch OLED rarely gets a discount, but there are some ways to get it for less than the retail price. One way is to buy refurbished. Right now you can buy the OLED model of the Nintendo Switch for only $305 if you buy refurbished. That’s a $45 discount on a device that is certified as good as new. Check it out below.

Why you should buy the refurbished Nintendo Switch OLED

The Nintendo Switch OLED features a 7.0-inch OLED screen, for a larger display with brighter colors thanks to a backlight that illuminates pixels further, compared to the 6.2-inch LCD screen of the Nintendo Switch. Between the Nintendo Switch OLED and Nintendo Switch, the other notable upgrades in addition to the OLED display include a built-in LAN port in its dock, a sturdier kickstand that covers the entire backside of the console, and a built-in screen protector. You can play all of the best Nintendo Switch games on the Nintendo Switch OLED, so if you’ve got the budget, there’s really no reason not to go for this model over the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite.
