They are the reason prices increase so much more than inflation.

Has there been any word as to whether this will be available from any other source (Costco, Target, Walmart, etc)?

The fact that people are saying this is a "good deal" since prices are set to increase for a system that's a year old is insane.

This Switch 2 pick your game bundle is mainly attractive because it lets you choose a first party game for about $50 over console MSRP, which still lands below buying the pieces separately. The bundle gets even better when paired with discounted Nintendo eShop cards from Costco or other sources, with reported totals around $441 to $467 after tax and cash back. The main caveat is that better clearance or membership deals have existed at Sam's Club, Costco, and Woot, but those were limited, store dependent, or no longer available. A solid value if you can stack discounts or want a specific launch game.

  • Shoppers who can stack discounted eShop cards, because the bundle price can drop into the low $440s with Costco discounts and cash back.

  • Players who already want Mario Kart World or Pokopia, because the bundle lets them pick a game they would buy anyway.

  • Buyers trying to lock in a console before a price increase, because the bundle can feel worthwhile when avoiding a later higher price.

    lessthanjizzleBriggs92

  • Families choosing a first-party game bundle, because the console still sells near MSRP and the included game effectively costs about $50.

    Colamisu

  • Deal hunters comparing against past clearance pricing, because earlier Switch 2 bundles have been far cheaper at Sam's Club and Woot.

    rampantparanoiaMasterkyoMasterkyo

  • Value-focused buyers who want a steep discount on the hardware itself, because the bundle still sits close to MSRP and the savings are modest.

    BJFishvince1015

  • Families expecting a sub-$200 console for multiple kids, because buying several units at $500 each is a big ask.

    Atomicrobot

  • Shoppers counting on Nintendo eShop gift cards to reduce checkout total, because the balance may not apply to the console bundle.

I'm interested in the same thing, can anyone verify this?woot
Yes this works. Just bought the $200 eshop cards for 180 at Costco and applied them to my Nintendo order to save $20 plus 4% cash back at Costco.

When Jensen said "the more you buy, the more you save", people laughed at him. Nobody is laughing now 😂

If you're willing to amass eshop gift card balance(max 800 usd in usa) 10 usd cards are .86 to 1 usd, you can get 14% off if you're willing to buy a bunch of gift cards via third party sites. I did this a few weeks ago and I can confirm it worked with a base switch 2. 480 total with tax, brought down to ~400 paid in gift cards

It was super limited
You can nearly match that deal via eShop gift cards at Costco. I got the pick your game bundle for 467 after taxes. Even less if you count the 4% cash back that I get.
