UK gamers have hours to jump on free Nintendo Switch deal from Virgin Media

Gamers who fancy getting a new Nintendo Switch deal have hours left to get the deal - or risk missing out. Virgin Media is handing out free Nintendo Switch deal completely free if you sign up to some of its new offers.

And if you already have a Nintendo Switch or you don't fancy one, Virgin Media is handing out £150 cash to go towards your bills so you don't need to worry about paying on months that cash seems a bit tight.

The bundles are offered at a discount rate but it’s worth noting they aren’t the very cheapest broadband deals out there - but for what you get for your money, they are solid deals as all of them include TV as well as internet.

For example, the cheapest bundle is £59.99 per month, down from the usual £71. It’s called the Bigger Combo bundle + Sports HD package, and it gets you internet speeds of 362Mbps, 195+ TV channels including eight Sky Sports channels, plus a landline connection with unlimited weekend calls to all UK landlines.

The catch is that after your 18-month term, the price is set to rise to £150 per month - so if you want a great deal and a free Switch, you might want to consider cancelling after the initial period to avoid the fee nearly tripling.

If you don’t mind the hassle - or the eventual expense - of the Virgin Media offer, then there are three other bundles that will also net you the free Switch or £150 in bill credit. Virgin is also offering free setup on all the packages, which would usually incur a £35 charge.

Virgin Media merged with O2 in 2021, so the company is officially Virgin Media O2. It means all Virgin customers get access to O2 Priority, which offers early access to many concert tickets along with other perks throughout the year.
