Argos confirms exact time Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale
The Nintendo Switch 2 goes on sale this Thursday, and Argos has confirmed the time it'll put the console up for sale and one retailer that's refreshed its pre-order stock
Demand is soaring around Nintendo's newest Switch 2 console, which will be available for UK gamers to buy this coming Thursday, June 5. After a whirlwind of pre-orders, which are notoriously hard to get hold of, the more powerful console will be available for all shoppers to buy very soon.
As retailers including Amazon, Currys, and the My Nintendo Store are still offering pre-orders, with fluctuating stock, Argos has unveiled a key update for this week's sale date. Very currently has the best stock levels as the Mario Kart Bundle and Switch 2 console are both available to order today.
While Argos' pre-orders are all currently out of stock, it has shared the exact time it'll go on sale. Sending out a note to interested fans, it said 'the Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here' and revealed the time UK shoppers will want to be online for. It said: "All Argos customers can get their hands on the newest evolution of the console from 6am on Thursday 5th June and with Argos's same-day click and collect service, they can have it up and running in no time."
For shoppers looking to get their hands on the device, it's worth saving these pages now, to boost chances of getting a Switch 2 as soon as 6am starts on Thursday. For the standard black Switch 2 console - this is the link to follow - to buy at a price of £359.99 on Thursday (the same price as the current out-of-stock pre-order). Those looking for a bundle, will be able to get the Switch 2 with Mario Kart World for £429.99.
Currently, pre-order deals are proving hard to come by and going in and out of stock by the hour. Amazon did drop a surprise restock on the model so it could be worth refreshing before Thursday. The best stock as we speak is Very - the Mario Kart World and Switch 2 console is available to order now.
It's not the only gaming deal on our radar this week, rivals at Sony have launched a 'Days of Play Sale ' which includes discounts on its newest console - the PS5 Pro. This runs next week on June 11.
The Switch 2 will come with a flurry of enhancements compared to the OLED and Lite models. Launching back on April 2, Nintendo said it brings 'new ways to play games'. It has a larger 7.9-inch LCD screen and displays in full HD at 1080p.
The console will also have a redesigned dock with 4K and HDR support, and the Joy-Con 2 controllers will offer mouse controls and magnetic attachment. Plus, the Switch 2 will support new features like GameChat, a voice chat and screen sharing service, and DLSS and ray tracing for improved graphics - for those who wondered how it compared to older models.
Other features where it differs to other Nintendo Switch models include its shorter battery life and a higher price point, which is worth flagging with shoppers.

3-in-1 wireless charger that 'declutters desk beautifully' now 19% off on Amazon
"Amazing product - magnet holds phone really well with case. Great quality and also can be compact for travel." Modern technology is everywhere these days, and there seems to be a high-tech gadget for everything. But along with advanced tech comes the need to constantly keep all of our many devices charged up. It can be annoying to rotate one charger between your phone, air pods and smart watch, but one device that can charge all three at the same time is currently on offer on Amazon. Normally retailing at £29.99, the Keepro 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station is currently 19 per cent off, now costing a cheaper £24.22. But shoppers should take note that the device is only compatible with iPhone and Apple products, so Android users will have to miss this one out. The nifty gadget can wirelessly charge an iPhone, air pods and Apple watch simultaneously, and it comes complete with a magnetic stand to prop up the phone to save space. Its fold-up compact design allows users to take the three-in-one charger to the office or even away on holiday, ensuring multiple devices can be fully charged anywhere. Purchases of the product come complete with the foldable ultra-compact 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station, a 23W USB-C charger, and a three foot (one metre) USB-C to USB-C cable. Keepro 3 in 1 Wireless Charging Station £29.99 £24.22 Amazon Shop Product Description With a 24-month warranty, shoppers can be assured that any problems that may arise with the product will be addressed and rectified by Keepro's customer service team. But those browsing other wireless chargers may opt for the high-end Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe Wireless Charger Stand 15W on Argos, at a pricier £140. Shoppers looking for a budget-friendly option may consider the cheaper 15W Wireless Charging Pad, also on Argos for £14.99, although this option can only charge one device at a time. But the discounted Keepro option is raking in glowing reviews on Amazon. One happy shopper said: "Absolutely love my Keepro 3-in-1 Charger!** This little station is a total game-changer for my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch. The MagSafe snap is perfect, charging is impressively fast, and it declutters my desk beautifully. "The stand is super stable and the portable design is a huge bonus. Setup was effortless – just plug and go! It looks sleek, feels premium, and works flawlessly every single time. If you want effortless, fast charging for all your Apple essentials in one stylish spot, this is it. **Highly, highly recommend!**" Another customer added: " Amazing product - magnet holds phone really well with case. Great quality and also can be compact for travel. Charges nice and fast and easy to use. Also looks nice and modern. Highly recommend!" But a less impressed shopper said: "I have had nothing but trouble with this item, it charges my devices ok singularly but when the phone and watch are charging together the watch will keep flickering on and off and doesn't charge." Yet a satisfied customer wrote: "Great charger - been using it for 2 months with no issues - fast charging and the hinge on the mechanism is much sturdier than ones I've had before so no issues with it drooping!" The three-in-one charger can be purchased here. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Uncomfortable staff in the background of Lauren Sanchez's bridal photos go viral
Behind-the-scenes snapshots of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos ' wedding have started going viral... for all the wrong reasons. The blushing bride, 55, tied the knot with her Amazon founder beau, 61, in Venice, Italy, on Friday wearing a lacy Dolce & Gabbana gown. It boasted floral-inspired embellishments, long sleeves, tight bodice, high neckline, enormous train and button studs down the front. Lauren took to Instagram just moments after saying 'I do' to begin her huge rebrand as she deleted all of her old Instagram posts and changed her profile to include her new surname, Bezos. The only two uploads that currently show include a snapshot of the newlyweds standing hand-in-hand which was uploaded alongside a simple date caption. The other is a carousel of behind-the-scenes snaps of Lauren's wedding preparations. In the post, the former journalist was seen standing inside a decadent room at the wedding venue, wearing her dress and showing off its dramatic silhouette. The second photo, a black and white image, showed Lauren and her team helping her get into the gown, while the third image featured designer Domenico Dolce placing the lace veil on her head. 'Not just a gown, a piece of poetry,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made.' But unfortunately for Lauren, fans quickly got hung up on one small detail. Because in the background of one of the snaps were two female staffers wearing somewhat outdated maid outfits - consisting of white pinafores with black detailing to the collars and belt tie. The forlorn duo, believed to work at the venue, looked somewhat pained as they stood awkwardly and gazed toward Lauren who posed up a storm for the camera. And their apparent discomfort was quickly picked up on as the pictures began circulating on social media. Highlighting the pair with a large arrow, one user wrote: 'She willingly posted this. 'Ma'am. If ever there was an image to encapsulate this nightmare.' 'It's giving Handmaid's Tale,' another said, in reference to the best-selling novel about a totalitarian society ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state. 'Why is this radicalizing me?' another quipped. 'Peak dystopia!' someone else shared. Others joked that their outfits were a 'fetishized' nod to the 1950s after Lauren told Vogue that she had researched pictures of brides from the era before being inspired by Sophia Loren's wedding dress from the 1958 movie Houseboat. But the newlyweds, who have already battled against protestors this week, are unlikely to be bothered by the internet chatter. Earlier this week, Sanchez debuted a giant new wedding ring - an oval-cut diamond worth an estimated $4 million - to dwarf her existing $2.5 million engagement rock. Courtesy of celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, the new gem is believed to weigh in at around 30 carats. 'We don't have a lot of traditions that we're keeping,' Sanchez told Vogue ahead of the big day. 'I mean, I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it's a little different.' But she did admit to keeping to the tradition of not letting her husband-to-be see her dress before the big day - despite the fact they have both been married before. 'I almost gave in,' she revealed, adding he 'begged' her for a glimpse. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.' While her a pair of earrings served as her 'something borrowed' on the wedding day, Sanchez gave her 'something blue' a cosmic twist - carrying a secret artifact from her recent 11-minute space journey. 'Blue Origin,' Sanchez said. 'It's something from my space flight.'

Sydney Sweeney's floaty playsuit nails Italian summer at Jeff Bezos wedding
Sydney Sweeney was the epitome of Italian summer style as she attended the wedding of Jeff Bezos, and we found a £30 lookalike for her £2.8k Chloe playsuit This weekend all anyone can talk about is the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his new wife Lauren Sanchez. The pair tied the knot in Venice with a guest list that rivals the Met Gala red carpet, which means we've gotten plenty of serious fashion inspiration – and envy – on how to do summer occasionwear right. However between wedding events, the guests were also snapped around Venice, including Sydney Sweeney who nailed the Italian way of dressing for the heat. Wearing a £2855 V-Neck Jumpsuit in Silk Georgette from Chloe, Sydney's effortlessly chic look is ideal for the summer heat, and good news for bargain hunters, because we found a fantastic alternative for just £30. One reason Sydney's black playsuit is such a hit is because it's the perfect combination of floaty, sexy and sophisticated, all whilst exuding the kind of glamour Italy is known for. If you don't want to splurge on her luxury piece, this ASOS DESIGN Double Cloth Gathered Bust Playsuit is a fantastic alternative. Priced at £30, the playsuit mirrors the breezy laid back silhouette of Sydney's Chloe jumpsuit, with a fitted waist, loose fitting A-line shorts and a sleeveless bodice. It also features plunging V-neckline, which keeps your modesty in check with a series of carefully placed ties which can be adjusted to fasten as loose or as tight as you like. The tie front also gives the illusion of having a similar neck scarf detail to Sydney's, however you could also add your own chiffon scarf to recreate the look. If you want something with a little more coverage that you could easily wear year round, this For The Moment Mini from Free People is ideal. It has long billowy long sleeves which gather at the wrist to create volume, with a v-neckline and a smocked waist to give it a flattering silhouette. Priced at £88 it is a mini dress, rather than a playsuit, however it captures the vibe of Sydney's look beautifully. However the ASOS Double Cloth Playsuit is versatile in its own right, and can be just as easily worn with a pair of tights, biker boots and wool coat in the winter as with a pair of sandals in the summer. It's made from 100% cotton, so it's breezy and lightweight to wear whilst still being hard wearing and comfortable. You can still shop it in all sizes from a four to an 18, or opt for the Curve version which offers sizes from 18 to 30. If black isn't your colour, you can also nab it in several other shades. With buttermilk yellow, green and pale pink colourways to pick from you can nail the summery look without breaking the bank. But if it's Sydney's timeless Italian style you want to copy, the black version should be winging its way to your wardrobe ASAP.
