As we move into the heart of Prime Day, I'm flabbergasted over the fact there are ACTUALLY DEALS ON THE SWITCH. I have been covering this event in this exact way for 5 years now, with this blog running for 4, and I've never seen actual deals. Yeah I know, that sounds bleak. BUT IT'S HAPPENING.

But what are they? I hear you ask. There are rare prices on the OLED model in the US. If you don't mind an import you can save the most –it's $288 at Walmart (it is completely functional in the US). The deal we saw at Woot is now gone, but Walmart also has a Switch OLED that's not imported for $294, $5 lower than the lowest non-import we've seen.

Save $61: This imported model is functional in the US, and you might only see differences in start menu options (plus you might need to buy a plug). This is for the white version, the blue and red is a couple of dollars more. It's all the same tech specs like that amazing screen, and it's a really decent saving (we've seen imported models go for $20 less but this is rare).

Nintendo Switch OLED: $349.99 $294.99 at WalmartSave $55:

Save $55: This is the lowest price we've seen on a non-imported product. It's possible this will fall lower this Prime Day though we wouldn't bank on it, with the Switch you can never be sure. With a gorgeous OLED screen, in Mario Red this is the best Switch available right now.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is still really popular and this is the lowest price we've ever seen on the Yellow version with $29 off the listing price. If you want a pared back Switch experience, this is the one for you.

The standard Switch console doesn't usually get discounted much but it's just got an extra $43 off ahead of Prime Day. It may not have the OLED screen but it's still a great console with brilliant reviews (like our Nintendo Switch review). This one comes with grey Joy-Cons.

Nintendo Switch OLED: £299 £228.67 at Onbuy
Save £70.33: We'd never seen the OLED Switch fall this low in the UK. We hope it's a sign of things to come. We recommend snapping this one up. It's the fanciest Switch around, and it's almost never on offer for a reason!

And we're off! We've already found some brilliant deals on Switch consoles, and we hope they'll get even better... but you can never be sure with this device as it's so popular at normal price. But we'll be here keeping track nonetheless.

We'll do some chatting about what to expect from the Switch 2 alongside keeping you abreast of the best prices, and advising when to click buy.

And from the US, there's a nice $50 off this OLED console from Woot. This equals the lowest we've seen for a US console. There was a nice import price last year ($265 actually, very nice even if you did have to buy a plug adapter).

So, we all know the event hasn't actually started yet. Which makes the deals we've found are pretty surprising. We'll also be searching for bundles, games and accessories too as the event goes on so you can complete your Switch setup.

Hello gamers! This is Rosie Hilder taking over the Nintendo Switch blog. I've spent the day looking after our Apple Prime Day blog so I'm looking forward to a change of subject :-) I'll be here for the next hour or so finding you the very best Switch offers as we head into Prime Day.

For those of you after a Switch Lite, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that we don't often see big discounts on this console, and this sales event is no exception (although bear in mind it hasn't officially started yet).

For UK gamers, it really is slim-pickings out there in terms of deals. We'll keep searching and get back to you if we find anything better than the offers we've already highlighted. Fingers crossed as Prime Day proper rolls around we'll see some more savings.

It's now officially Prime Day in the UK and.... we can't see any price differences on consoles. We'll do some digging and see what we can come up with for anyone who has stayed up to hunt for deals in the UK.

Good morning deals hunters! Prime Day is well and truly underway on both sides of the pond so I'll be double checking all the previous offers we've highlighted are still live and (hopefully) finding you some new deals to get your teeth into.

In the UK, over at Very there are a handful of deals on games, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for £37.99. This is the same price as Amazon and Currys so you can choose where to spend your money.

If you're looking to increase your game collection overall, then don't miss our post on the PS5 games our ecom writer Beth Nicholls would buy this Prime Day.

As Prime Day continues across the world, the deals on Amazon itself continue to be, well, somewhat meh. But those early deals found elsewhere are holding strong.

In times of old during these events, sales prices used to change frequently. Alas, the era of the FLASH SALE ALERT is mostly over, which makes these blogs a bit less exciting. But the odd price change does pop up, which keeps us interested.

Oooh there's another great deal at Walmart – the Switch OLED in Mario Kart red is just $294, which is $5 lower than we typically see a non imported model reduced to during sales events. Whoo hoo.
