JB Hi-Fi Bundles Free Switch 2 With Pixel 11 Pro

Live Poll

Would you pay extra for a phone if it came with a free gaming console?

JB Hi-Fi is offering a free Nintendo Switch 2 with purchases of the Google Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL in Australia. The promotion runs from 29 October to 9 November 2026.

Why it matters

The bundle lands as Nintendo raised the Switch 2 price in Australia from AU$699.95 to AU$769.95 in September 2026, so the free console adds value at a time the standalone price has risen. Buyers weighing a Pixel flagship in Australia now have a concrete offset to consider.

The Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL use Google's Tensor G6 chip, and the Pixel 11 phones were unplayable for Genshin Impact at launch due to rendering errors, including bright purple textures. Call of Duty: Mobile caps the Pixel 11 Pro XL at medium settings and 90 fps, compared with 120 fps at Very High settings on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones.

The players

JB Hi-Fi

JB Hi-Fi is an Australian electronics and home appliance retailer operating a large chain of stores across the country.

Google

Google is the American technology company that designs the Pixel smartphone line and the Tensor chips that power it.

Nintendo

Nintendo is the Japanese video game company that makes the Switch 2 console and set its Australian retail price.

The details

Buyers who purchase a Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL from JB Hi-Fi in Australia receive a free Nintendo Switch 2 during the promotion. The bundle also includes three months of YouTube Premium and six months of Google AI Pro, and trade-ins can be applied to JB Hi-Fi gift cards toward the purchase. Buyers who return the phone must also return the console.

September 2026: Nintendo raised the Switch 2 price in Australia from AU$699.95 to AU$769.95.
29 October 2026: The JB Hi-Fi promotion started.
9 November 2026: The JB Hi-Fi promotion ends.

The Tech Race

The bundle places Google's Pixel 11 Pro against rival flagships by attaching a console that Nintendo has just made more expensive in Australia. The Tensor G6 chip trails rival flagship chips in benchmarks by at least two generations, which makes the bundle a pricing lever as much as a hardware statement.

Australian shoppers considering a Pixel 11 Pro or Pro XL should compare the bundle's value against the phone's AU$1,849 or AU$2,099 price before 9 November 2026. Buyers should note that returning the phone requires returning the Switch 2 as well.

The takeaway

A console bundle can soften a flagship phone's price, but the Pixel 11 Pro's performance gaps in gaming mean buyers should weigh the hardware as well as the offer.
