Currently, both the bundle and the standalone console are available, but both are either out of stock or being sold at much higher prices than normal (likely by third-party sellers).We do not recommend buying the Switch 2 at a premium like this, but rather it's better to wait for an official restock.Naturally, the world's largest retailer is also selling the console at its brick-and-mortar locations, though the company has noted that quantities are limited and inventory will vary by location.Amazon finally has the Switch 2 listed now: the Switch 2 console is up for $450 while the costs $500.
