This Nintendo Switch OLED Bundle Is Still at Its Prime Day Price

I own an Xbox Series X, a PS5, and a PC. Somehow, I never ended up buying a Nintendo Switch. But I've kept tracking deals on the system for all this time, and during Prime Day 2025, I've finally found a good enough deal on the Nintendo Switch OLED that I considered pulling the trigger—and even though Prime Day is over, the deal is still live.
Yes, the Switch OLED is four years old at this point, but it features a few quality of life improvements over the original Switch that make it worth it, even in light of the Nintendo Switch 2's recent launch. Until July 19 (or until inventory runs out; whichever comes first), you can get the Nintendo Switch OLED with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $275 from Woot!, an Amazon-owned site.
Keep in mind that this deal is for international models of the system. That means that these units were originally intended for sale outside of the U.S., but due to some oddities with supply and demand, they're now available in the U.S. Nintendo of America probably won't honor the warranty that you'd otherwise get with a Switch you buy in the U.S., which could be a dealbreaker for some people, but you will be able to buy, download and play digital games just fine. Notably, Woot! offers a 90-day limited warranty, so if something goes wrong with your console in the first three months after you buy it, you can contact the store for help.
Still, you're mostly on your own once you buy this thing. I have some experience with that, since Nintendo doesn't have an official presence where I live (India). Its consoles and games are available here through some local retailers, but they have to import them from other regions. We don't get any warranty support from Nintendo at all, but in general, I haven't heard of too many cases of the Switch breaking down. If that's a risk you can live with, then this is a good deal on a console that's going to be relevant for years to come.
The real question is: Should you buy this Switch, or save up for a Switch 2 instead? If you've never had a Switch, or if you want to introduce a kid in your neighborhood to Nintendo's games, then the Switch OLED is a great starting point at this sub-$300 price. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe itself costs $60 normally, and it's hard to find a deal that gets you the game under $40. You're guaranteed dozens of hours of fun co-op gaming with that title alone. As it is backwards-compatible, I recommend grabbing the Switch 2 if you have the cash, but since that console doesn't have many exclusives right now, the Switch OLED can still play most of the games you're going to find on the new system. Also, it's not like you're going to find a sale on that machine much more expensive machine any time soon.
