I woke up to the kind of news that makes skipping breakfast feel justified. GameStop is opening their pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 at 11 am EST / 8 am PST. It’s already sold out at every other major retailer thanks to the Switch 2 going up at midnight. This is one of the only places you can still get it, and even then, only if you’re quick.

The $499.99 bundle includes Mario Kart World, which seems like a solid way to break in the new hardware. Preorders go live at 8 a.m. PST, so your best bet is to pretend whatever else you had scheduled can wait.

2 DigiGods is a free-to-play, physics-based, VR game that allows players to create, play, and share in a sandbox environment. Safety is a top priority with the use of AI content filtering and human moderators to ensure a safe and positive environment. See it at Meta

On a completely different note, Amazon is running a surprisingly good 4K Blu-ray deal. You can grab three titles for $33, and these aren't your usual filler picks. I’m seeing Blade Runner: Final Cut, Inception, E.T., and Full Metal Jacket, just to name a few. If you're the type who still enjoys actually owning the movies you love, it's worth checking out.

GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-orders

GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-orders

1 Goes live at 11:00 EST / 8:00 PST $499.99 at GameStop

GameStop will be one of the only major retailers still offering preorders for the new Switch 2 this morning. The $499.99 bundle includes the console and Mario Kart World, which looks like it's built to show off whatever upgrades Nintendo has under the hood. Preorders go live at 8 a.m. PST, and considering other retailers sold out overnight, I’m not expecting these to last long. There's also the solo Nintendo Switch 2 console, launch games, and tons of accessories to add to your basket too. Here's my top picks:

Pokémon TCG Charizard ex Super Premium Collection

Pokémon TCG Charizard ex Super Premium Collection

4 $79.95 save 38% $49.94 at Amazon

I like this bundle because it gives you something to actually hold onto, not just a few random booster packs. It includes three promo foil cards (Charizard ex, Charmander, and Charmeleon), a detailed Charizard figure, and 10 booster packs. That’s solid value, and it’s all bundled in a way that makes sense for collectors or players.

4 $33.45 at TCG Player

Hydrapple ex - 167/142

10 $32.35 at TCG Player

At under $50, it’s hard to argue with the appeal. The Charizard line has always been popular, and the cards in this set are exclusive promos that won’t be around forever. I think this is an easy pickup if you’re looking to build your collection or just want something that looks great out of the box.
