Photo by Cameron Faulkner / The Verge Woot is selling the Nintendo Switch OLED model for $314.99 ($35 off) for today (June 4th) only. The ***** on Nintendo’s fancier version of its long-in-the-tooth Switch console runs until tonight at midnight ET or once Woot sells out. And it’s possible Woot will not run out of stock this time around because demand for a Switch is not what it used to be.

In particular, Starfield's melee weapons are a major pain point, falling heavily behind ranged options and lacking the variety and customization that other weapons get to have. View the full article
