The Labor Day sales are now on in North America, providing some select gaming bargains in North America. One deal that has really caught our eye (thanks, GamesRadar) is all about expanding the Switch OLED's memory capabilities, as Walmart is currently selling the console and a 128GB memory card for the same price as the system alone.
The bundle is currently assembled for $349.99, which gives you the Switch OLED and the additional memory card. You'd have to cough up $34.99 if you wanted to buy the Micro SD card alone, which isn't a bad little saving.
Memory space has long been one of the largest criticisms against the Switch, with many of us sourcing additional storage as one of our first accessories after getting the console. With the internal memory coming in at only 64GB on the OLED (and half that on the other Switch models), an extra 128GB isn't to be sniffed at.

The card included in this deal is the SanDisk 128GB Micro SD card made specifically for the Switch, so not only will you be getting one of the top memory cards on the market according to our list of the best Switch Micro SD cards, but yours will also be adorned by a cute little mushroom image on the top. Yes, we're all about the details.
As a part of Walmart's Labor Day (yes, we've come over all American with our spelling today, mainly because Labour Day in the UK is in May) sales, this deal is exclusive to North America — sorry Rest of the World-ers, the company does not currently offer international shipping and paying for a package forwarding company is only going to hike the price up past the point of the bundle. Further, (as deduced from the 'Labor Day Sales' grouping) we are assuming that this deal won't be around for long, so if you have been tempted by the Switch OLED's superior image quality but worry about the memory space, this offer should keep you going, for a little while at least.

Shame I just bought a Splatoon OLED last week I guess but eh, not a huge loss. Good deal for those who can capitalize on it.
Well my oled is literally one day old... oh well
@Lizuka glad i'm not the only one haha!
Anyway the screen is even more stunning than i thought it would be, I'm glad i went for the extra 50 bucks
I would have to immediately replace it anyway. I'm just hoping that 1TB microSD eventually drops down some more.
@Anachronism I got my 1TB microSD card when it was on sale on Amazon Prime, but yeah, I wish that they drop the price for other too.
As a recent OLED upgrader, the improvements from a V1 are 100% worth it for people who primarily play the system off the TV. Bigger screen, brighter colors, better build quality, drastically improved battery life, and the extra storage, while not make or break, gave me just the little bit of breathing room I needed to avoid upgrading my Micro SD card again.
I badly want an OLED I have to say…
*Todaybor Day is Labor Day
I wonder correct me if I'm wrong does Nintendolife has a sister site for steam deck news like they do for playstation or Xbox??
Good deal, but I am waiting on the Splatoon edition for my first OLED switch.
Still Labour Day in Canada, too!
If were to get this, I'd sell it and go for a 1TB microSD. As a gamer of mostly physical games, I'm reaching a point where 128GB isn't enough for digital games, updates and DLC.
"North America" includes Canada, USA and Mexico. However, there are no such deals in Mexico.
It would be preferrable to have the article say simply "USA" instead, given it doesn't seem to apply for Canada, neither.
And BIGGER PIXELS. Becuz as always.., Nintendo expands the screen but leaves the resolution the same. Absolutely dumb imo. All it does is make pixels noticable to ppl with good eyesight. Becuz pixel stretching. They did this also on the 3ds xl and I did not care for it.
