Nintendo recently confirmed it’ll announce a next-gen Nintendo Switch next year, but beyond that, the company hasn’t revealed much about the forthcoming console (including how much it will go for). If you’d rather not wait and see, the standard Nintendo Switch is currently receiving a rare discount at Amazon, where you can buy it with blue and red Joy-Con controllers for $267 ($33 off).

If you like to game on the go, the base Switch remains an excellent handheld, one that can last up to six hours on a single charge. It’s still limited to 32GB of built-in storage — unlike the larger, seven-inch Switch OLED — but its built-in microSD card slot means you can always invest in more external storage. That’ll come in handy because the Nintendo eShop is home to a vast library of both first- and third-party titles, particularly in its swan-song era, with many exciting games in the pipeline. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Mario & Luigi: Brothership are both launching in the fall, for example, along with Super Mario Party Jamboree, a remastered MySims, and much more.

Granted, the Switch 2 is rumored to feature an eight-inch screen, but the standard model’s 6.2-inch display is still spacious enough in most instances. Besides, if you crave more screen real estate, you can always play it on your TV while in docked mode, unlike the Switch Lite.

If you’re looking for a piece of home decor to spruce up your home or office, few gadgets are as unique as Samsung’s new Music Frame. And right now, the capable speaker is down to a new low of around $297.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy.

Samsung’s unique gadget looks like a traditional 12.9 x 12.9-inch picture frame — it even offers room in the front so you can add a physical photograph or art print (though you’ll only be able to use an 8 x 8-inch picture if you use the provided matte). You can hang the speaker on your wall or rest it on the included stand and even customize it with an optional white bezel ($59.99).

But what’s really neat is that the Music Frame also functions as a wired Bluetooth / Wi-Fi speaker, which is one of the reasons the gadget was one of our favorite audio products from CES 2024. It’s not going to sound as immersive as a high-end soundbar or a speaker with up-firing drivers like the Sonos Era 300, but it supports Dolby Atmos and can pair with select Samsung TVs or soundbars for surround sound. The art-inspired speaker is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Samsung Bixby, allowing you to control it with just your voice.

A few more deals and discounts

• You can currently pick up the wired Keychron C3 Pro at Amazon with either linear red or tactile brown switches for $24.99 ($25 off), which is a new low. The sturdy, tenkeyless mechanical keyboard features a basic design (sorry, not hot-swappable switches), but it does offer a few impressive features for the price, including red backlighting and the ability to toggle between Windows and macOS. Plus, you can also easily remap the keys using the ultra-sleek VIA app, thanks to the keyboard’s support for QMK firmware.
• Solo Stove is discounting various fire pits as a part of its Labor Day sale through September 3rd. Right now, for instance, you can buy the Ranger Essential Bundle 2.0 for $254.99 ($70 off) when you apply promo code LABORDAY at checkout, which is one of the better prices we’ve seen. The smokeless, 15-inch fire pit comes with a handful of useful accessories, too, including a removable ashtray and a stand to protect the surface it’s sitting on. Solo Stove is also throwing in a carrying case, making it even more portable.
• Star Wars Outlaws launches tomorrow, August 30th, but Best Buy is still offering a $10 gift card when you preorder the PS5 / Xbox game for $69.99 ahead of launch. Amazon and GameStop, meanwhile, are throwing in free in-game cosmetics with each preorder, which are typically reserved for the Ultimate Edition. My colleague Andrew Webster called the game an “incredible Star Wars simulator” in his review. It doesn’t offer the most innovative gameplay, but it’s an enjoyable title with impressive visuals and storylines that make you feel like you’re in a Star Wars movie.
