Nintendo Switch 2: This is what it would cost you if you paid for it over 48 months in Liverpool.

The new Nintendo Switch 2 has arrived in Mexico and quickly sold out in stores. The pre-sale was a success, despite criticism over its high price.

For those who can't afford it or don't want to shell out all at once, Liverpool offers several payment options. But beware: some alternatives could double the cost of the console.

Liverpool, one of the largest retailers in Mexico, has launched several plans to help more people get their hands on their Switch 2. Those who prefer not to pay interest can purchase it in interest-free installments with participating credit cards, respecting the official launch price.

However, there's also the option of long-term financing, such as 48 months . However, if you choose this option, you could end up paying around 50,000 pesos in total.

If you go for the base version of the console, here's how much you'll have to pay depending on the plan you choose in Liverpool:

Interest-free months:

• 3 MSI: $4,533.00 MXN per month
• 6 MSI: $2,266.50 MXN per month
• 9 MSI: $1,511.00 MXN per month
• 13 MSI: $1,046.08 MXN per month

With traditional financing (interest included):

• 15 months: $1,444.00 MXN per month (Total: $21,660.00 MXN)
• 18 months: $1,291.00 MXN per month (Total: $23,238.00 MXN)
• 24 months: $1,109.00 MXN per month (Total: $26,616.00 MXN)
• 36 months: $945.00 MXN per month (Total: $34,020.00 MXN)
• 48 months: $878.00 MXN per month (Total: $42,144.00 MXN)

So if you decide to pay it in 48 months, the final cost would be more than 42 thousand pesos .

Others prefer the bundle that includes the console and the Mario Kart World game. These are the payment options:

Interest-free months:

• 3 MSI: $4,955.33 MXN per month
• 6 MSI: $2,483.17 MXN per month
• 9 MSI: $1,655.44 MXN per month
• 13 MSI: $1,146.08 MXN per month

With traditional financing:

• 15 months: $1,582.00 MXN per month (Total: $23,730.00 MXN)
• 18 months: $1,516.00 MXN per month (Total: $27,288.00 MXN)
• 24 months: $1,215.00 MXN per month (Total: $29,160.00 MXN)
• 36 months: $1,117.00 MXN per month (Total: $40,212.00 MXN)
• 48 months: $1,041.00 MXN per month (Total: $49,968.00 MXN)

If you choose to pay for this package in 48 months, the final amount would reach almost 50 thousand pesos .

Although the 48-month plan allows for more affordable monthly payments, in the long run it means paying almost double the original price. If you have the opportunity to opt for interest-free months, it would be the best way to avoid overpaying and take advantage of the new console's launch.
