With so many retailers to choose from, it can be hard to know if you’re getting the best deal possible on a video game console—especially if you just want to give a nice gift and don’t know much about video games. If you’ve been on the hunt for a console, whether for yourself or someone else, this might be the time to strike, because GameStop’s newest promotion is pretty dang good.
At GameStop, you’ll save $25 when you buy more than $250 online or in-store and pick up your items in person. All you have to do is select “Pick up today & save $25 on your order” before you click the “proceed to checkout” button. This current promotion means that if you don’t mind going to the store physically, you’ll be getting the best prices currently available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, or the latest Xbox.
The best Nintendo Switch deals right now
The Nintendo Switch OLED is the higher-end model with a nicer OLED screen, which great for players on the go, but there’s difference once you hook it up to the TV. The latest bundle is the Nintendo Switch OLED Model Bundle: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which comes with the game and three months of the Nintendo online membership for $349.99. But you can get it for $324.99 if you choose to pick it up in person. This is the best deal you will find from any reliable retailer right now, and it’s cheaper than the deal that was available on Black Friday.
If you’re looking for the regular Nintendo Switch, you can get the Nintendo Switch Console – Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $274.99 by picking it up yourself. This bundle costs the same as the console by itself, so you might as well get it with Mario Kart 8. It’s also the best price available and cheaper than it was on Black Friday.
The best PlayStation 5 deals right now
If you’re shopping for a PlayStation 5, you have the option of getting the original console with no bundle for $424.99 (if you pick it up in person) or the newer slim model with the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle for $474.99 (with the $25 discount). If you can afford it, the bundle is a much better value than the regular console with no game, and who doesn’t like Call of Duty?. These are the best deals available for either option, and the bundle is cheaper than their Black Friday deal.
The best Xbox console deals right now
There’s two Xbox models to choose from: the all-digital (that means no slot for discs), slimmer and cheaper Series S; and the more powerful, more expensive Series X. GameStop has the best deal right now for the Series S for $274.99 after the $25 discount. If you want the Series X without a bundle, the best deal is actually from Amazon for $429. If you’re looking for a bundle deal, your best bet is the Series X Console – Diablo IV Bundle for $474.99. This is the best current deal for that bundle, though it was slightly cheaper on Black Friday at $449.
