As Black Friday 2019 week truly kicks off in earnest, we're keeping our eyes peeled for the best Switch deal – and at the moment, UK buyers really can't do any better than this incredible offer from supermarket chain ASDA.
The chain is offering the Switch Lite for just £169.99 – that's £30 off the £199.99 recommended retail price that the console launched with a short time ago.
The catch? This isn't an online offer, but in-store only – so you'll have to actually leave the house to take advantage of it. Still, it's worth braving the cold to get yourself a brand-new Switch console for £170 – perfect as a Christmas gift for a younger family member, or a treat for yourself.
Let us know if you plan to take this offer on by posting a comment.

I could never bring myself to grab a Switch Lite. It looks pretty cute and it's definitely got some good things going for it, but it loses out on waaaaaaay too much for it to be a viable option for me (even though I rarely dock my Switch). Not to mention the potential drift issues.
Too happy with my Switch, but this is a good deal.
I rang around all the Asda’s in my hometown (Leeds) on Friday and non had any in stock!
I picked one up swept up in the moment, but now I'm not sure my family or I need it! Good deal.
Yeah, "cheap".
Still quite a bit of money.
this is a great deal.
@Gamecuber It gets customers in-store, so that they buy other stuff. Retailers frequently put goods that are low or no stock "on sale" in order to get foot traffic through the location. Dirty deeds.
Damn! Not long ago bought my partners little brother a switch lite, knew I should of waited
Just bought one from Smyths last week. £209 with a copy of Lego Jurassic Park
Why no mention of Asda also reducing the flagship Switch from £279.99 to £239.99
I managed to snag a fair deal on a Switch lite. From Nintendo store I did the Build a bundle option (which allowed me to choose my included game in rather than just those on offer. So got Lite, case, smash bros, 12 months online and a further 10% for registering a catalogue all for £225. Not a bad deal. With the online NES and SNES apps and Tetris 99 I have plenty to keep me going.
Just as an aside, I’m glad I went for the lite not the full switch. As a dedicated handheld it is brilliant; the transition from 3DS to Switch Lite is like VHS to DVD! However, if I had the full Switch I would have been disappointed; it’s underwhelming compared to my XBOX One and very barebones compared to my Wii U. I know that there is motion control etc on the regular switch, but I’ve had my fill of those since the Wii and for multiplayer my Wii U reigns supreme. However, as a handheld it’s fantastic!
