Increase your Nintendo Switch storage with this $ 30,256 GB microSD card

If you have a Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite console, or are aiming to get one soon, buying a microSD card to expand its internal storage should be your next step. Today, that comes as an affordable step to take, as Amazon has shorted the 256GB microSD card by almost half the original price. It’s $ 30 for the rest of the day. Given that most Nintendo Switch games each rarely stand above 10 or 15GB (with many well below that size), this small investment should go a long way.

This microSD card will also work with select phones, laptops and action cameras that have the slot.

You can save on both the 13.5-inch and 15-inch versions of the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 at Best Buy. The most affordable model is, oddly enough, the 15-inch version built with the AMD Ryzen 5 Surface Edition processor, 8 GB of RAM, and a 128 GB SSD. Normally $ 1,200 is the $ 300 discount from that price at Best Buy. This corresponds to the best deal yet. My colleague Dan Seifert particularly enjoyed the display of 3: 2 aspect ratio and the keyboard in his review, and also mentioned that it can suggest good performance for daily productivity tasks.

The 13.5-inch version that has Intel’s 10th Gen processor, along with the same 8 GB of RAM, but an upgraded SSD to 256 GB over the above model, costs $ 1,000 at Best Buy. This is also $ 300 off the regular price. With this smaller version you do not miss much, other than the larger display. If you are ready to take this hit in exchange for more storage, it’s a great compromise.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games’ most recent open-world game, is down to $ 27 for a digital code on Xbox One. Newegg sells copies, so go there if you want to pick one up. Once you purchase it, you will need to enter the code that Newegg will email you in the Microsoft Store to get the game.

This deal comes at a good time since Red Dead Redemption 2 will leave Xbox Game Pass on September 7th. Even with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, buying the game directly through Microsoft would cost $ 48, so you save a lot with this Newegg deal.
