The retailer is offering a deal that lets gamers get $200 worth of credit towards games, consoles, and accessories for just $170. Best of all, the gift cards can stack in your account, letting you accrue enough to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 at a sweet discount.RelatedThe Verge’s 2026 high school graduation gift guideThe Verge’s 2026 college graduation gift guideNintendo eShop gift cards$90$10010% off$90$170 at Newegg ($200)$90 at Costco ($100)You don’t have to buy gift cards to reap some savings on a Switch 2, though. Nintendo is currently offering a $499.99 “Choose Your Game” console bundle that includes a discounted game (Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Pokopia, or Mario Kart World). Either way you go, it’s wise to buy a console ahead of the fall because Nintendo is raising the Switch 2’s price by $50 — up to $499.99 — in September.

Other deals you might digLast week, we highlighted a deal on the Sonos Roam 2, which is down to $134 (usually $179). Sonos improved on its own deal by offering the wireless, water-resistant speaker with Otterbox’s protective carrying case (originally $39.95) included for no extra charge. This case doesn’t take away from the Roam 2’s slick design — it just adds protection for its top and bottom, and throws in a lanyard so you can more easily tote it around.Here’s a great deal that, thanks to the pre-requisites, some might consider a little too much effort. Apple’s last-gen Studio Display is steeply discounted at Sam’s Club, where a membership is required to make the purchase. The retailer has multiple configurations with matte nanotexture glass selling at good prices — well, good considering how expensive these typically are. For example, the model that has a VESA mount, making it easy to stick onto a monitor arm, is $1,059.91 (originally $1,899), and the one with a tilt- and height-adjustable stand is $1,279.91 (originally $2,299).

It’s currently $298 (was $349) at Amazon and B&H Photo, or $299.99 at Best Buy. It has sold at this price just a few times since it debuted last summer. The headset shares its drivers in common with Sony’s flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones, which is to say they’re fantastic. It also has effective active noise cancellation, and plenty of comfort thanks to its adjustable headband and plush, breathable ear cushions. The headset supports PC and PS5 via a USB-C 2.4GHz transmitter, as well as Bluetooth for connecting to phones, tablets, and more.

Saving for a Nintendo Switch 2 can be optimized by utilizing gift card deals offered by retailers. Newegg is providing a promotion where customers can receive $200 worth of credit toward games, consoles, and accessories for the price of $170. This mechanism allows gamers to accumulate funds that can be applied toward a Nintendo Switch 2 at a reduced cost, potentially saving money. Additionally, the text notes that these gift cards can be stacked in an account, which further enhances the ability to accrue sufficient funds for the console at a favorable price. Beyond gift cards, another financial consideration involves Nintendo's current offering of a $499.99 "Choose Your Game" console bundle, which includes a discounted game such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Pokémon Pokopia, or Mario Kart World. It is also advised to purchase a console before the fall, as Nintendo plans to increase the Switch 2's price by $50, bringing it up to $499.99, in September.

The article also highlights various deals across other technology categories. For example, there are current offers on the Sonos Roam 2 speaker, which is available at a reduced price, and an accessory deal where the wireless, water-resistant speaker is bundled with Otterbox’s protective carrying case, which was originally priced at $39.95 at no extra charge. Regarding displays, Apple’s last-generation Studio Display is available at significant discounts at retailers, including Sam's Club, where various configurations with matte nanotexture glass are offered affordably. Specific models, such as those featuring a VESA mount or tilt- and height-adjustable stands, are available at heavily reduced prices compared to their original retail cost. Furthermore, audio equipment deals are present, such as the Sony InZone H9 Mk. 2 wireless gaming headset, which is currently priced lower than previous listings at Amazon and other retailers and features performance comparable to other high-end headphones, including effective active noise cancellation and comfortable design. This headset supports various connectivity methods, including USB-C 2.4GHz transmission for PC and PS5, as well as Bluetooth for general device pairing.
