Is the OLED switch worth it for a first time switch buyer?

I will use the handheld pretty often when travelling

First time buyer and hand held, yes. It's harder to justify if you already have a switch.

Has/will GameStop do this with the Xbox One X trade-in?

Currently it's $220 cash and $275 store credit for Pro members.

Will they ever offer (or ever historically offered) $275 cash for trade-in?

The OLED isn't worth trading in for if you just play docked. Keep your Switch.

I traded in my old PS4 slim 500GB for $240 credit at Gamestop last weekend. I thought it was a good deal because I only paid $199 for it (and a free game). I am not sure if I should use the credit for a new PS5 (myself) or a new Switch (my kid)

I have several switches that still have either v2 or v3 firmware on them, they were purchased before the fusee glitch was released so they are all hackable. They've been sitting in the closet since I got them, should I just trade them for $220 each?

No, hack them yourself and sell them on ebay or something. They will be worth more than $220.

Does the oled model address the drift issue with joycons?

Does this makes sense for someone trying to switch from switch to xbox? Not necessairly need to buy xbox right a way, can wait Black friday but a good opportunity to get rid of switch with cash option which means I dont need to stick with gamestop to buy xbox? How frequently this kinda deal pops up? Tia 🙏

This deal is slightly worse than the prior where you would get $260 credit or $218 cash. I guess you get $2 more...

Is GameStop just anticipating a major shortage due to supply chain holdups and is stocking up used ones to resell during the holiday season ?

Probably little money to be made on the systems with the high trade in value but the games... the Nintendo stuff is holding value really well in general. Bet they make the most on games & accessories once they get the switch in your hands, and that's their plan.

They shouldn't come out of the closet yet.

Confirmed. Did this yesterday. Got $220 cash for both mine and the wife's Switch.

What all do you need to bring to trade it in?

I knew that was the case but I was shocked a few months back when I started selling my Switch games. I sold Doom for 150% of what I paid for it new. All the other games sold at 80% of what I paid or higher. It's crazy but I wasn't complaining.

I'm keeping my v1 for the long haul. No one knows how the oled display will age just yet and if it's easy to hack. Quite possible the v1 will be in demand many years from now when people are seeking nostalgia.

Same. I would do this if I wasn't hacked.

It's only a $50 uncharge over the original model... If I were you, I'd DEFINITEY DO IT! Small amount extra for way better screen and kickstand primarily. It's a tougher sell if you already have a V2. I myself upgraded from a V1 2017 model, and still found it worth it!
