As we bid farewell to Prime Day 2023, we also bid farewell to Video Game Fashion Week, Polygon’s annual tradition of celebrating all the fabulous and weird ways gaming and glamor collide. Luckily, good deals are always in fashion here at Polygon, and while you might not be able to save on Sailor Moon Jimmy Choos or Team Rocket streetwear, we might have one Space Marines bomber jacket with your name on it.
We’ve rounded up some of our favorite gaming and entertainment deals this week, along with some of the best-selling products to hit Polygon this week.
This week’s best gaming deals
It normally costs $349.99, but you can currently get the Japanese model of the Nintendo Switch OLED from Woot for just $289.99, which is less than the price of the vanilla switch. The OLED model is similar to its standard counterpart, but with several improvements including a larger and brighter display, better audio quality, and a sturdier stand.
The only real catch here is that the packaging and documentation are in Japanese. However, once you’ve set up the console and selected English as your primary language, it works just like any other Switch you can buy in North America.
Even with the advent of more powerful gaming handhelds like the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally, the Switch is still the only (official) place to experience first-party Nintendo titles like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid DreadAnd Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.
This offer is valid for the next seven days or until stocks last. However, this is a fantastic opportunity if you’re considering investing in Nintendo’s updated handheld.
