If you want a Switch OLED, you usually have to pay $349.99 — $50 more than the standard Switch. That isn’t the case right now for Sam’s Club members, who can get one, along with a whole mess of free accessories, for $299.99 by selecting “pickup” before adding one to your cart.
In addition to the console, which includes two white Joy-Cons, this bundle comes with a 256 GB SanDisk microSD card, a wired PDP Faceoff Deluxe Plus controller (featuring a headphone jack for wired listening), PDP’s LVL40 wired gaming headset, and the Mario Commuter Case to carry all of it. All of that usually costs $439.98, but you’re saving $140.

At Sam’s Club, the Switch OLED (white) includes four accessories: a wired controller, a wired headset, a 256 GB microSD card, and a commuter case.
A membership to Sam’s Club costs $50 per year for its Club tier, or $110 per year for its Plus tier, which offers more perks, including free shipping. The cost for shipping for members of its Club tier is $4, which isn’t bad.
As for what sets the Switch OLED apart from the standard Switch: It mostly comes down to the display, although there are other perks. Its features a 7-inch OLED 720p display, which has far greater contrast and color accuracy than the standard Switch’s 6.2-inch LCD panel. The Switch OLED also benefits from having twice the onboard storage (64 GB versus 32 GB) smaller bezels around its display, improved speakers, and a far better kickstand. In terms of power, however, it’s identical to other Switch consoles. One last perk: Its dock has an Ethernet port built-in for wired connectivity, so you can get much faster download speeds and online performance without extra accessories.
