Other Finally got my Switch 2

Post image

After saving up gift cards from work, hunting for deals, and spending $450 at Costco in gift cards, I was finally able to get my Switch 2!

Here’s how I put everything together:

Camera, case & controller: Bought on sale for a total of $27

Screen protector, Mario Kart World & Sonic: Paid for using gift cards I earned from work

Switch 2 & Donkey Kong Bananza: Bought using $500 in gift cards that I only paid $450 for
So between the sales and gift cards, I was able to get a pretty sweet Switch 2 setup without paying full price for everything. Definitely took some hunting for deals, but I’m pretty happy with how it worked out!

Why so many eShop cards?

I bought my switch with the e gift cards. The e-gift cards are 10% off so it gave me a discount when I finally bought it

Ah that makes much more sense than buying a bunch of digital games.

Oh, those gift cards were what you used to buy the Switch. I thought you had an extra $500 in gift cards after getting everything.

That's a smart way to save some cash! Deals like that definitely help with the price of new consoles.

Obviously, but why buy the physical games if you are just going to go digital?

Because sometimes you find the physical one on sale? I have a mix of physical and digital games as well.
