SHOPPERS have been left disappointed after Aldi sold out of the Nintendo Switch during the Black Friday sales almost immediately.
The supermarket was selling the games console in its Black Friday Specialbuys for £229.99 along with Apple Airpods for just £89.99.
Eager shoppers logged on to the Aldi website at midnight to land the online-only Nintendo Switch deal, but found there were none left just minutes later.
Some customers were put in a queue with nearly 100,000 waiting at one point.
But some waiting were still unable to land the console at the bargain price due to the high demand.
One shopper tweeted: “Fair play Aldi on your website queuing system. All Nintendo Switches sold out by the time I got on, but it was very exciting watching numbers in the queue before me get lower.”
Another said: “Stayed up late and sat in a queue on Aldi’s site for an hour only for the Nintendo Switch to already be sold out when I got on there.”
Apple Airpods had also sold out by early this morning.
And Nintendo Switch Lites also sold out quickly. The smaller version of the Switch was £169.99 in Aldi’s Black Friday sale and usually costs £199.99.
Aldi teased the Switch and Apple Airpod deals along with other discounts in an email to customers on Thursday afternoon, telling customers they would be available online at midnight.
Also sold out was a Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon set which was reduced from £150 to £49.99.
And there were no refurbished iPhone 8s left in stock – they were reduced to £199.99 from £339.
