Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is headlined by another deal on the Nintendo Switch, as the popular portable game console is currently available for $270 at Newegg. That's a $30 discount. Models with gray and blue/red controllers are both on sale.
A couple things worth noting here: you'll have to apply the code 'EMCTVVA34' at checkout to receive the discount, but in order to do that, you'll have to give Newegg an email address first. The discount is only available through Tuesday. The deal comes from Newegg itself, not a third-party vendor. But this is the part when we mention that Newegg's checkout process was subject to a data breach last year that put customers' payment data at risk of theft for a full month. The retailer has since resolved that issue, but the more you know, etc.
It's also worth noting that Nintendo is running a separate Switch deal that bundles a $35 eShop gift card with the console at its standard $299 price. If you plan on downloading a game or two from the Switch's digital shop anyway rather than sticking to physical cartridges, that may be a better value than the straight discount here.
