Update: This deal is already sold out.
Woot just put out one of the best deals I've seen on a Nintendo Switch 2 memory card this year. Right now you can pick up an officially licensed 256GB Nintendo Switch 2 memory card from Samsung for just $35.19 after you apply 20% off coupon code "SUPERSAVING". If you're a first time Woot customer, then this deal is even better because the coupon takes 30% off instead of 20%, dropping the price to $30.79. Amazon Prime members get free shipping. If you don't have Amazon Prime, then you'll need to pay $5 for delivery, which still makes it a good deal.

It has been four years since Infinity Ward shipped its last Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 2. While most consider it to have been a commercial success, some fans were divided on the greater emphasis on realistic, tactical gameplay, which walked the line of being cumbersome.
