Nintendo Switch Available At GameStop, But In A $500 Bundle

Order now and it'll ship by May 5.

The Nintendo Switch remains difficult to track down six weeks after its release, but you can order one from GameStop right now. The catch: you may have to wait a few weeks, and it'll cost you $500.

As it has previously, the retailer has bundled its new allotment of Switch consoles into a large bundle that consists of the system (with gray or neon Joy-Cons); physical copies of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe; Breath of the Wild's expansion pass; and a 128 GB microSD card.

Add it all up using GameStop's $60 price on the microSD card, and it comes out to $500, so it's not as if you're being overcharged for this. You'll simply need to want everything that's included for the bundle to be a worthwhile deal.

Switch has been routinely sold out since its launch in early March, and GameStop previously said on a call with investors that supply issues could last all year.

If you're interested, you can order the bundles here (gray) or here (neon). GameStop says they'll ship by no later than May 5. With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe releasing on April 28, you probably shouldn't expect to see your delivery any sooner than that.

Power to the players indeed...



Lol @ gamestop. More reasons for me to stick with Amazon.

So, they're solution to lowering profits is by offering expensive bundles?



I was just on Amazon Prime Now, and there were a few at retail price

UPDATE: ....now they're gone.

That's why Gamestop is there for you.



But but.... you can find switch everywhere, or so people claim on this site.....



This really isn't that bad of a bundle. I don't know why anyone would complain. It has the two obviously hottest games and an accessory that most would want, even if it is about $20 over what you could get on Amazon for that SD card.

If I had not bought one already and was willing to wait a couple more weeks for a guaranteed delivery, I would get this bundle.

That's a surprisingly fair bundle by Gamestop standards. Usually they toss in third party software that nobody wants, but this bundle only includes things that people would actually want to buy anyway.

Agreed. They are obviously profiting off the lack of available Switches, but the bundle itself is a fair one. If I would have 500$ lying around I might bite this one.



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

The plot thickens...
