Costco’s great Switch 2 console bundle includes over $100 in free stuff

Costco members can buy a Nintendo Switch 2 bundle for $499.99 that includes the console, a 256GB microSD Express card, and one year of Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack tier. The extras are worth over $100 combined, making the bundle notable ahead of the console’s planned $50 price increase on September 1, 2026.

The deal highlights how retailers can soften rising console prices by bundling accessories and services rather than discounting hardware directly. It also reinforces the growing importance of digital storage and subscription ecosystems as core parts of the console-buying experience.
