Those looking to buy a $350 Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) without breaking the bank can do so at GameStop, which is offering up to a $200 trade-in discount. This would essentially make the new version of the console $150. Whether or not it's worth the hassle or an extra $150 is something Switch owners will have to decide for themselves.

Some fans seem a bit hesitant to pick the new model up as the Nintendo Switch OLED isn't more powerful than the standard version already available. The new revision is $50 more than the standard Switch and adds a slightly larger OLED screen, improved kickstand, and better handheld audio. As far as hardware revisions go, the Switch OLED doesn't bring much new to the table. This could encourage some that already own a Switch or Switch Lite to skip it and hold out for the fabled Switch Pro model, but there is one interesting opportunity to get an OLED at a cheaper price at launch so far.

GameStop (via Twitter's Wario64) announced that it was opening pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch OLED and revealed that starting on launch day (October 8), customers can trade-in their standard Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite for up to $200 in-store credit toward the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model). Of course, all accessories and Joy-Cons work with the OLED Switch, so there's no need to trade in anything beyond the console itself. After the trade-in, the console will then cost as low as $150 for those that take the deal.

Understandably, that $150 price tag may still be too much for some Switch owners. For people on the fence, though, the trade-in discount might be enough to push them toward the Switch OLED. It's still not fully clear who Nintendo's target demographic is with this revision, as it doesn't seem like it's totally meant for current Switch owners. If it's for people who don't own the console at all, it may not be a sure thing that an OLED model sold at a higher retail price is going to convince anyone who has already held out for over four years.

It was also recently reported that Switch OLED production only costs Nintendo $10 more when compared to the standard console despite the $50 price hike on the consumer end, which may not be great optics for Nintendo. It's hard to say whether or not the console will have a high attach rate when it does release later this year, as its early reception has been somewhat mixed. Some fans are upset about it not being the fabled Nintendo Switch Pro, but there's a strong possibility players will get over that perceived snub in the months leading up to October. Nonetheless, Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) does seem to be selling through pre-orders quite rapidly, which could bode well for the company.
