As of now, Nintendo’s home console/portable hybrid is still pretty hard to come by, selling out within minutes of being restocked at stores. If you’re willing to drop an extra couple hundred bucks, GameStop has just revealed a new bundle.

The bundle contains a Nintendo Switch (grey or neon joy-con), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and a 128GB memory card for the not-so low price of $499.99. Roughly speaking, you’d probably save around $25-$30 if you were to buy all of these items separately; but since the Switch is scarce, that’s not really an option. This new bundle is currently available, and in stock on GameStop’s website and will begin shipping on May 5.

Is this a fair deal? Or is GameStop being shady for withholding Switch consoles in order to push bundles and make more cash? Let us know over in the Chatty!
