Before you start speculating this is some type of promotion in preparation for an unannounced system, we assure you, it&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Kotaku, GameStop said the offer was targeting people who were considering replacing their old Switch with the <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/diablo_iii_eternal_collection\">Diablo III Eternal Collection<\/a><\/strong> bundle. According to the source, the bundle is priced at $360, so even with the trade-in credit, you still have to fork out another $160 for it. Presumably, the offer covers the special edition <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_lets_go_pikachu_and_lets_go_eevee\">Pok\u00e9mon Let&#8217;s Go, Pikachu! and Let&#8217;s Go, Eevee!<\/a><\/strong> Switch deal as well. The deal to trade in your Switch for a new system runs from now until 11th November.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, deals like this aren&#8217;t necessarily new, but it&#8217;s often more tempting when there&#8217;s a new and improved system on offer, rather than an existing model with exclusive artwork.<\/p>\n<p>Have you been tempted by the Diablo 3 or Pok\u00e9mon Switch bundles with special artwork? Or are you holding out for the new system that&#8217;s rumoured to arrive in 2019?
