After an initial unveiling last week, Nintendo's Switch OLED model is now available to preorder through various retailers in the US. In a tweet earlier on Thursday, the company confirmed that orders for the new console variant would begin at 12pm PT/3pm ET.

If you're hoping to grab one, here are the retail listings that are up as of this writing. We'll add more as we see them, but given the intense demand for recent gaming hardware like the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nvidia's RTX graphics cards (from scalpers or otherwise), we don't expect stock to be available for long:

• Target: White and Neon Red/Neon Blue
• Walmart: Neon Red/Neon Blue
• GameStop: White and Neon Red/Neon Blue
• Best Buy: White and Neon Red/Neon Blue

The new OLED Switch costs $350 and will ship from October 8. That's compared to $300 for the base Switch model and $200 for the handheld-only Nintendo Switch Lite.
