I've always been a fan of trading in your old tech for cash. Not only is it a simple way to recycle your old gear, but it's also a great way to save money on whatever new device you plan to buy.

With the Switch 2 launch day upon us, a handful of retailers are offering cash or credits for your old Switch console. I don't expect to see any dollar-off discounts on the Switch 2 for the next year — if not longer. So a trade-in is the only way to slash the price of the Switch 2.

Below I've rounded up all of the retailers offering trade-in cash or credits you can use toward the purchase of your Switch 2. So if that $449 price tag is keeping you on the fence, here's an easy way to save a few bucks.
