How about grabbing a discounted Switch 2 instead, weeks ahead of Black Friday? Yes, you read that right. Nintendo's console rarely goes on sale — and even less so since its $50 price hike in September — yet Woot is offering the Nintendo Switch 2 brand new and on sale for $469. That's a $30 price drop from the usual $499, putting it a bit closer to its former $449 list price. Admittedly, it's not a huge discount, but again, it's also not a very common one. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, the console dropped in price a grand total of zero times since its price hike.

Going into my fifth year covering Black Friday at Mashable, I can confidently say that gaming console deals can be a tricky one during the shopping holiday. A lot of folks wait until sales kick off to grab deals, meaning if there is an impressive price drop, it sells out fast. I would expect that song and dance to be even more competitive during the year of RAMaggedon.
