Cannot confirm if Old or 2019 Model of Switch. Confirmed to be the 2019 Model Based on SKU

Only a good deal if it the 2019 Model. Great Deal as 2019 Model

Based on the image of the box from the Big W Catalogue (for the same bundle), it differs from the US Black Friday Switch Box (which is confirmed to be the old model).

Will update when more information is provided/discovered.

Credits to SpamMeNotInOz for the scanned catalogue

Update

Based on the SKU on the Catalogue, they appear to be the 2019 Model.

Credits to 4892

Update 2

Based on Nintendo News Post:

Purchase a Nintendo Switch from JB Hi Fi or EB Games and you’ll receive a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe full game download code on your receipt.

It appears to be the standalone 2019 bundle, with the redemption code on the Receipt.

Update 3

Deal is now live, $10 cheaper.

Buy a Nintendo Switch Console (New Look Packaging) and get a bonus Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Download Code! Online purchasers will receive the download code via email 48 hours from order completion.

        I prefer the grey - it's a bit less childish on the train.

        • capslock janitor on 28/11/2019 - 21:47

            @capslock janitor: I used flybuys points to buy my switch at Target.

            Unfortunately for me they only had the neon console in stock.

            Fortunately for me I needed to buy a second set of joycons as I often have more than two players and parent target had grey joycons in stock.

            Fortunately for me the only difference between the two consoles are the joycons which are easily swapped.

    Can confirm by the skus that it’s the new model. Great deal!

    • bargain-lover007 on 25/11/2019 - 08:00

      Yes indeed. The catalogue has two SKUs 383553 and 383558 ( can see if you zoom the catalogue pic )
      Searching on Jb Hi-Fi website with these codes take you to 2019 models.

    • chomper on 28/11/2019 - 20:34

      Ok I just picked up mine from JB and it’s definitely the new packaging but the contents says Nintendo Switch Console (HAC-001). My understanding is that is the old model number and the new one is HAC-001(-01). Can anyone advise based on this info if it’s the new or old?

      • Drewbo on 28/11/2019 - 20:45

        If your serial number starts with XKW you have the new model.

        • sticky8anana on 28/11/2019 - 20:53

          picking up mine tomorrow, gonna check that XKW :(

        • chomper on 28/11/2019 - 21:04

          Yep serial starts with XKW and checked on the device itself where model number is HAC-001(-01).

          • Drewbo on 28/11/2019 - 21:07

            @chomper: No problem.

            • Jolim90 on 28/11/2019 - 21:54

              @Drewbo: I just bought one it's the new model. They said they will email the Mario bonus offer code in the next 24 hours….. why don't I believe this

              • Drewbo on 28/11/2019 - 21:57

                @Jolim90: Yeah, I would be on their case right from opening time tomorrow. They ran out of codes last year with no compensation to buyers. You need to act fast.

                • Jolim90 on 28/11/2019 - 22:58

                  @Drewbo: Because I did cluck and collect they won't give it to me! The store peoe seem so confused that head office already advertised it! If I don't get it I'll probably just return it =(

        NEW MODEL. GREAT DEAL.
        There will be other retailers who do bundles, but this has the advantage of being a downloadable version of Mario Kart. I like download games, as they're more portable and you can't lose them.

        Plus, because it's the download version, the Nintendo Switch model is the new one. The bundled Switch + Mario physical version has the older model of Switch.

        Read this report about Black Friday Switch deals:
        https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/…

        So support the local retailer (JB-HiFi), rather than the US giant Amazon that doesn't pay much tax in Australia, and you'll get the new model Switch. Get your click & collect order into JB-HiFi quickly, as last year the Nintendo Switch sold out at many retailers, and lots of people were disappointed.

    What's the difference ?

    • silverrat23 on 25/11/2019 - 05:48
      +2

      The new model has a much better battery life.

      • sss9660 on 25/11/2019 - 08:23

        and better internals

  • tempura on 25/11/2019 - 05:47

    how big are those Switch games? how big of a SD card can a Switch takes?

    • SiliconBased on 25/11/2019 - 06:23
      +1

      Switch games rarely exceed 10gb, a huge proportion of games available on the store are 500mb or less (games like the Witcher 3 and the Spyro trilogy are about 35gb).

      Biggest SD card I've tried is 512gb.

      • Tacenda on 25/11/2019 - 06:26
        +1

        It is built to take up to 2TB card, but 512gb until larger becomes readily available and economical will do you fine.

        • Red Pandas on 25/11/2019 - 17:16

          What about save files? Are we still not able to save game data to sd card?
          Nintendo still monetizing this to force people into buying the Nintendo Online subscription?

  • Sage on 25/11/2019 - 07:19

    That's cheap?

    • silverrat23 on 25/11/2019 - 07:45

      Yes. The cheapest before this sale was around $390 with no game/s.

      The first JB deal had the full catalogue, people are just reposting individual pages now.

      • King Steuart on 25/11/2019 - 11:41

        I don't think it was there when the deal was first posted as I upvoted it but don't remember those scan links. Thanks for the tip though!

      Yes

      • sticky8anana on 25/11/2019 - 10:40

        so the question is when I can't play downloaded games

        • tempura on 25/11/2019 - 11:06

          in the moon

        • azngamer on 25/11/2019 - 11:12

          You can play downloaded games anytime. Only time I can think of is when you try to play the subscription games (the NES, SNES games) that you get through Nintendo Switch Online that requires you to be connected to the internet every 7 days or something to make sure your subscription is still on-going). Oh, and if the battery is dead?

  • Urban Warrior Ninja on 25/11/2019 - 08:29

    Can you the Switch to watch Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, etc on the TV and the portable device?

    • akqrate on 25/11/2019 - 08:55

      Nope to most streaming services, yes to YouTube (I believe this is still a yes?)

      • The Value on 25/11/2019 - 10:42

        Yes to YouTube. No to everything else.

          Oh darn. Heck, even the Wii U had Netflix!

            +4

            @silverrat23: Huge shame too. Switch would be the ultimate portable media consumption device.

            • xyron on 25/11/2019 - 13:02

              @The Value: Unless your phone is a potato, chances are it'll be a better media consumption device than the Switch given its low res screen, average battery life and weight.

              (Don't get me wrong, love the Switch, have an OG with CFW and a Lite.)

              • The Value on 25/11/2019 - 13:11
                +1

                @xyron: 720p is good enough. Kick stand for table top. Stereo sound speakers. All the games with physical controls.

                I don't want all those things on my phone. It'll kill the battery on it. I prefer a seperate device.

  • ksama0079 on 25/11/2019 - 09:02

    so if i want to download the game, i'll need to purchase an additional miscrosd card?

    • mikd on 25/11/2019 - 09:09

      32GB onboard. ( minus OS) But highly recommended to have microsd card

    • hambeet on 25/11/2019 - 09:12

      It has 32gb internal storage, but the OS uses some of that. So you can install a few games I'd guess.

      Mario Kart is about 7gb according to my googling.

  • bioxeed on 25/11/2019 - 09:51

    What's a good microsd card for these? I'm assuming unlike a dashcam they don't need to be particularly special

    • sticky8anana on 25/11/2019 - 10:18
      +4

      well Nintendo recommends cards with write speed of 80 mb/s or over. either Samsung EVO plus or Sandisk ultra would be enough

    • RichardL on 25/11/2019 - 12:03
      +3

      I'd recommend the Samsung EVO Plus, that appears on OzBargain frequently.

      Don't buy the 'Official Memory Card' as they are just a reskined Sandisk Memory Card with the Nintendo Tax applied.

  • Greedog on 25/11/2019 - 11:32

    Apparently last year, the codes for mario kart ran out in the first hour, so may be a huge struggle to get the deal.

    • spicynoodles on 25/11/2019 - 11:58

      Was that online or in-store? Or is there no difference?

      • Greedog on 25/11/2019 - 13:21

        This was in-store, not sure about online

        • HappilyEverAfter on 25/11/2019 - 15:25

          I went to my local JB hifi and asked for the deal.
          The guy at the game section said it is in store only.

    • RichardL on 25/11/2019 - 12:02
      +1

      IMO, it was better from Amazon AU last year as they gave a Physical Copy of the game, instead of the Digital.

      JB Hi-Fi deal was only better if you have Gift Cards or prefer Digital Games.

      • freoleo on 25/11/2019 - 14:13
        +2

        Mario Kart is one of those games that you want always on console digitally IMO

        Unless of course you want to sell it, digital is the way for such a good pick up and play game.

        • RichardL on 25/11/2019 - 14:17
          +7

          I personally prefer Physical Copy for the following reasons:

          • Share the game with friends/family
          • Looks nice on a shelf
          • Easier to sell
          • Always available (for when Nintendo Switch Server shut down in the distance future, preventing you from re-downloading)
          • Urban Warrior Ninja on 25/11/2019 - 19:10
            +2

            @RichardL: I'm definitely with you on this. If portability is important to you, physical is the way to go.

            +1

            @RichardL: For me Mario Kart is never a game that I'd sell (on any platform), fair enough on the other points though.

  • InvictusOverlord on 25/11/2019 - 12:12

    Could we anticipate any deals with Pokémon or even Zelda or Mario Odyssey? Not into Mario Kart so even a Switch without any games for cheaper than the $369 at Target (eg $349) would be good

    • RichardL on 25/11/2019 - 12:15
      +2

      I highly doubt it. The Switch deal for the majority of retailers has been released/leaked.

      Big W: Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle - $429
      JB Hi-Fi: This deal
      Target: Nintendo Switch Console - $369

      Only major retailer left are Amazon AU, Harvey Norman & EB Games.

      UPDATE: Harvey Norman has the Console for $398, seen here and EB Games appears to have the same Bundle as JB Hi-Fi. Only one left is Amazon AU.

      • sticky8anana on 25/11/2019 - 12:26

        thanks OP, def. buying a switch this week, still I'm hoping Amazon will price match at least one of the deals above

        as Greedog mentioned above, I'm afraid by the time I get to a Jb store, the digital codes will run out

        Apparently last year, the codes for mario kart ran out in the first hour, so may be a huge struggle to get the deal.

      • hambeet on 25/11/2019 - 14:05
        +3

        My local EB was quiet this morning and the guy there was going through their marketing sheet on the counter, so I asked him about this weekends sales. He flipped through and showed me the page marked 28th November and it too had the Switch console and Mario Deluxe (physical copy) for $399.

        He stressed to me that he's still yet to receive the comprehensive one for Black Friday(he thinks he'll get it tomorrow / Wednesday at the latest) so to check back then. He said in previous years they've changed deals at the last minute depending on what other retailers were doing so not to bank on it.

        Totally anecdotal, because he wasn't comfortable with me taking a photo of it.

  • Rage Roze on 25/11/2019 - 12:58

      Not really. Most AAA Games are still the same price as when they were released years ago (Typical Nintendo).

      Only cheap games are Digital Indie Games from the Nintendo eShop.

      How many do you have? I think it cuts you off after 5 (maybe 7?) but you can get around it by consolidating your gift cards beforehand. JB online allows you to buy JB egift cards with JB egift cards so you can roll all your gift cards into one ahead of time.

      • BlackMothra on 27/11/2019 - 22:48
