Summary
$499.99 gets Costco members a Nintendo Switch 2, a 256GB microSD Express card and a one-year Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription, matching the console-only price due after Sept. 1.
The timing matters because Nintendo plans to raise the Switch 2 standalone price by $50 on Sept. 1, taking the base console to $499.99.
More than $100 in bundled value comes from the microSD card—typically $59—and the Expansion Pack subscription, which normally costs $49.99 a year.
The extras address common early needs: the Switch 2's 256GB internal storage can fill quickly with 10GB-to-25GB first-party games and some 50GB third-party titles, while the subscription adds online play, cloud saves and classic game libraries.
