You can now get a Nintendo Switch Lite with a free copy of Minecraft

Diamond in the rough.

If nothing inspired you to make a purchase in the Black Friday sales, then you might want to check out this Nintendo Switch Lite and Minecraft bundle currently available at Currys PC World for £199.99.

All three colour choices are available: that's the superior turquoise, snazzy yellow, and painfully dull grey - to give them their unofficial names. Sadly, the limited Zacian and Zamazenta Pokémon edition is not included.

Nevertheless, with the slim handheld usually setting you back £200 on its own, you can't complain too much about a free game being thrown in too. And while it's not a massive exclusive such as Link's Awakening or Super Mario Odyssey, it makes sense given this is likely pitched as an ideal Christmas gift for a younger player.

Meanwhile, the console's bigger brother isn't lacking for offers right now, either. We've already seen a Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 for £279.99 drop in the days immediately following Black Friday. That rivals a couple of the top Switch Black Friday bundles we saw last week, so if you missed out back then, well, here's another chance to snag a great deal.

If you do go for this new bundle, then be sure to head over to Jelly Deals straight after for our guide to the best Nintendo Switch Lite accessories you'll want to pair up with your new console. There's also our pages dedicated to the best Nintendo Switch SD cards and where you can find the cheapest price for a Switch Online membership.
