Nintendo officially raised the price of its Switch 2 console in September from AU$699.95 to AU$769.95 due to “various market conditions”, no doubt caused by rising component costs driven by AI-driven shortages.
If you missed out before the price went up, and now feel the new price has put you off buying a Switch 2, I don’t blame you – but if you’re also in the market for a new smartphone, then I’ve found the deal for you.
For a limited time, JB Hi-Fi is throwing in a free Nintendo Switch 2 with every purchase of a Google Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL handset, a saving of AU$769.95!
I haven’t seen many discounts on the Switch 2 since its September price increase, and I’ve certainly never seen one go free. That fact alone should give this deal a lot of appeal, but when you consider the recent game releases for the console, there’s a lot more to get excited about.
Yes, with a whole host of first-party and exclusive releases from this year like Star Fox, Donkey Kong Bonanza, Pokemon Pokopia and more, as well as upcoming titles like Metroid Ravenous, Pokemon Winds and Waves in the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, you are not exactly short options for gambling potential to engage.
Our Nintendo Switch 2 review gave the console 4.5 stars, confidently claiming that it is a massive upgrade over its predecessor. The headline improvements include support for 4K and 1440p resolutions (vs up to 1080p), a 120Hz refresh rate (up to 60Hz) and general performance improvements with an Nvidia Tegra T239 processor, 12GB RAM (vs 4GB) and starting storage of 256GB.
And let’s not take the attention away from the Pixel phones included in this offer. The Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL each received 4 out of five stars in their respective reviews, with both battery improvements and better AI performance from the new Tensor G6 chipset, improved cameras, brighter screens and lighter and slimmer chassis. The Pro XL has also earned a spot among the best phones you can buy in Australia.
Securing one of these top-performing devices on your own is always a smart move. If you get one of them included for freethen it’s practically a no-brainer.
