If you want an OLED Switch, you usually have to pay $349.99 — $50 more than the standard one. That’s not currently the case for Sam’s Club members, who can get one, along with a bunch of free accessories, for $299.99 by selectingPick upbefore adding one to your cart.

In addition to the console, which includes two white Joy-Cons, this bundle includes a 256GB SanDisk microSD card, a PDP Faceoff Deluxe Plus wired controller (with headphone jack for wired listening), and the LVL40 wired gaming headset from PDP and Mario Commuter bag to carry it all. All of this normally costs $439.98, but you save $140.

At Sam’s Club, the Switch OLED (white) includes four accessories: a wired controller, a wired headset, a 256GB microSD card, and a carrying case.

As for what sets the OLED Switch apart from the standard switch: It mostly comes down to the screen, though there are other advantages. It features a 7-inch 720p OLED display, which offers much better contrast and color accuracy than the Switch’s standard 6.2-inch LCD. The Switch OLED also benefits from having twice the onboard storage (64GB vs. 32GB), smaller bezels around its screen, improved speakers, and a much better kickstand. However, in terms of power, it is identical to other Switch consoles. One final plus: Its docking station has a built-in Ethernet port for wired connectivity, so you can get much faster download speeds and online performance without additional accessories.

This was brought to my attention by Wario 64Twitter account, and the timing is right, because today is Mario Day, which is when Nintendo and many retailers offer discounts on almost anything with “Mario” in its name. Sam’s Club says this deal will run through April 9, but it might be best to take advantage of it sooner rather than later, in case dwindling inventory forces the retailer to pull the offer.
