The Xbox Series S can play all the same games that the Xbox Series X can play. It’s not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but it runs games just as smoothly by outputting in native 1440p and upscaling to 4K. It’s a great budget friendly solution to access all the amazing games that are on Xbox Game Pass and, of course, it’s $250 cheaper than the Xbox Series X.

Starting today, Amazon is running a deal where you can purchase 2 eligible games, and get a third one for free. This is a pretty huge deal, as it includes brand new titles like Elden Ring, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Amazon is also running that same deal on books, which will let you get various D&D books bundled up, video game art books and tons of other great novels.
$50 Off the Newest Apple TV 4K
With this deal you can basically get the 64GB Apple TV model for the same price as the 32GB model. The newest Apple TV features two major upgrades. It boasts an A12 Bionic processor that boosts graphics performance, video decoding, and audio processing and delivers high frame rate HDR with Dolby Vision. It also includes a new Apple TV remote. The overall build quality is better than before, but the biggest enhancements are a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV.
RCA 65″ 4K Smart TV for $298
You’d be hard pressed to find a 65″ TV for $300 anywhere else. It might not match up to the image quality of a top shelf TV, but hey, you could get 8 of these TVs and wire up your entire house, your basement, and your shed with huge 65″ displays for the price of a single 65″ LG C2 OLED TV. It also has a webOS smart TV interface.
40% Off Elden Ring Official Strategy Guides Preorder
Out July 29
There’s no question that Elden Ring is a difficult game, so don’t feel bad if you find yourself struggling. Fortunately, you can get a little help in the form of FromSoftware’s official Elden Ring strategy guide that comes out next month. It’s comprised of two volumes, each unveiling secrets, tips, and maps of everything that Elden Ring has to offer. Even if you’ve got this game down pat, you might want to pick up these books simply to learn more about the lore and enjoy the canon artwork. These books are normally $49.99, but today they’re only $29.99, a whopping 40% off discount.
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for $799.99
These are easily the best prices we’ve seen for an RTX 3080 video card since launch. At this price point, the RTX 3080 is a better value than the 3080 Ti, which costs at least $250 more at reputable vendors. The performance gap between the 3080 and 3080 Ti is about 3%, hardly noticeable. The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s flagship RTX 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K.
Official Taiko no Tatsujin Controller for Switch
If you’ve been eyeing the Taiko no Tatsujin drum controller but shied away at the steep price, look again. Right now it’s on sale for the lowest price ever. There’s no official way to get the official drum kit in America, so these 3rd party vendors are the only way to get them short of eBay or buying them yourself in Japan and flying them over. Note that the game isn’t included with the drum kit.
Taiko no Tatsujin is an extremely fun and challenging drum rhythm game for the Nintendo Switch. It’s a common presence in arcade galleries in Japan where you’ll often see maestros performing superhuman combos on the highest difficulty levels. The Nintendo Switch game emulates this game in everything but its controls. Whereas in the arcade version you’re banging away on drumsticks, you’re relegated to using the button controls or the touchscreen interface in the Switch version. This official drum kit from Hori is as close to the arcade version as you’re going to get. It’s responsive, it’s durable, and it will make Taiko no Tatsujin feel like a whole new (and better) game.
Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) for $29.99
Ghostwire: Tokyo was released at the end of March of this year. We’re less than 3 months since the release and already this game has been marked down by 50% off. Despite the steep price drop, this is actually a solid paranormal action-adventure game, with slick presentation and gorgeous visuals, a fun and fast-paced combat system, and an interesting story and cast. In my opinion, it’s definitely worth the $30 price tag.
New Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds
If you regret not picking the Airpods Pro up on Black Friday, here’s your chance to get it today at the same price. This is the newest generation model with the MagSafe compatible wireless charger. The AirPods Pro is considered one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear headphones you can get, especially for under $200. The noise cancellation is considered to be even better than the Bose Quietcomfort because of the natural noise isolating design of the in-ear earbuds. If isolation and sound quality are of utmost important to you, then it’s easily worth the upgrade over the AirPods 3.
Apple AirPods 2 for $99.99
Pick up a pair of Apple AirPods 2 wireless earbuds for the lowest price we’ve ever seen. These are the newer 2nd generation model. It includes a charging case that you plug in via USB Type-C. Honestly, the “wireless charging case” that you can upgrade to for an extra $60 is definitely not worth the price; very few people actually have an inductive charger, and the wireless charging rate is painfully slow.
$120 Off Apple AirPods Max Headphones
Not everyone can afford Apple’s best AirPods, but for those who can, they’ll be treated to a $95 discount from Amazon, making this the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Obviously the sound quality on these AirPods Max headphones are phenomenal, but what really takes the cake is the build quality. There are no other headphones in its price range that is built as well as the AirPods Max. They are literally a work of art.
$70 Off the Apple Watch Series 7
$50 Off the Apple Watch SE
The Series 7 is Apple’s latest and greatest watch. The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it’s 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG. It’s inarguably the best smartwatch on the market right now. If you don’t need the health related features, you can save $100 and go with the Apple Watch SE instead. Despite the low price tag, this watch is still big on features, such as a large Retina OLED display, 2x faster CPU than the Series 3, heart rate monitoring, GPS, swimproof design, haptic feedback, and more.
4-Pack Apple Airtags for $87.99
The Apple Airtag is a small coin shaped device that you can put in your wallet or attach to your phones, keys, remote, or anything small enough to be easily misplaced. It works as a little WiFi keyfinder that helps you locate your lost objects by pinging the exact location to your iPhone. In my personal experience, it works more reliably than the Tile keyfinder and at a longer range, too. This is a nice gift for a dad who already has an iPhone, especially if he tends to lose his small essentials around the house.
J.R.R. Tolkien 4-Book Paperback Boxed Set: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
It has never been cheaper to dive back into the world of Tolkein’s original The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series. You can pick up the paperback boxed set of all four books (The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy) all for under $13 when you clip the coupon on Amazon’s page.
Halo Infinite for Xbox for $19.99
Amazon has the latest Halo Infinite game for only $19.99. That’s 67% off the MSRP of $59.99. This is easily one of the must-own games for the Xbox Series X console and very well worth it at this price point. We reviewed the single-player campaign and multiplayer experience separately, and loved both parts of it.
65″ TCL 4-Series 4K Roku TV for $398
55″ for $298
For most people, the two biggest priorities for a TV are (1) price and (2) size. That’s why a TV like this TCL 4-series is so popular; if you’re looking specifically for a 65″ or 55″ TV, you’d be hard pressed to find a lower price. This TCL TV offers solid picture quality without burning a hole in your wallet, and it even has built-in Roku smart TV functionality. It might not look as good as a $1500 TV, but you could fund the rest of your home entertainment or gaming system with the amount you just saved.
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16″ RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop
Walmart is offering an outstanding deal for a powerful gaming laptop from Lenovo. The RTX 3070 found in this laptop has a TDP rating of 140W. That is the maximum TDP rating you’ll find for a mobile RTX 3070 graphics card, meaning this is the one of the most powerful RTX 3070 gaming laptops you can get. Higher TDP means more power is supplied to the graphics card, and that directly equates to better performance in games.

65″ LG C1 4K OLED Smart Gaming TV for $1549.99
If money isn’t an object, OLED TVs are considered the best TVs you can buy right now. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, they offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and super fast response times. They excel at both gaming and viewing 4K HDR content. In terms of general usability, they consume less power and they’re very thin and sit flusher against the wall. Amongst OLED TVs, the LG C1 is oft considered the flag bearer; it’s the one TV that all other OLED TVs are compared against. The LG OLED TV boasts several generations of optimizations under its belt and the latest C1 model is future proofed with technology like HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz), variable refresh rate, G-SYNC, the newest LG A9 Gen4 processor and a revamped webOS smart TV interface.
New 42″ LG Evo C2 4K OLED Gaming TV
Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X
For many of you who have been patiently waiting for the LG Evo C2 42″ 4K OLED TV, now you can rejoice. The majority of the 2022 Evo C2 lineup had been released earlier in the year, but for whatever reason LG had decided to hold off on its new 42″ size until now. This highly anticipated TV is finally orderable on Amazon and ships immediately. The 42″ replaces LG’s 48″ as its smallest 4K OLED TV on the market. It performs just as well as its larger sized siblings as a gaming TV, but where it really shines is as a gaming monitor for your PC.

One of the best gaming monitors on the market
The Samsung Neo G9 49″ Mini LED gaming monitor was released in August of last year, and since then we haven’t seen any discount on this top-of-the-line display… until now. Right now Samsung is offering a manufacturer’s $500 instant discount, which has trickled down to all of our favorite retailers including Amazon. This is the Samsung’s only Mini LED gaming monitor. Mini LED backlights are much smaller and more precise than traditional LED backlights, which means better contrast ratio, black levels, and HDR than traditional displays. You’ll now find them in the highest end brand-name 4K TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ XDR display. The cost keeps 99% of us gamers at bay, but for those who can afford it, you’d be hard pressed to find a better monitor.

Apple Watch Nike Series 6 44mm GPS + Cellular
EXPIRED
This is a phenomenal deal for a previous generation Apple Watch Series 6 with all the bells and whistles. This is the larger size of the Apple Watch Series 6 (the smaller size being 40mm) and it has both GPS and cellular capabilities (cellular service requires an activated plan). Currently to get these features on an Apple Watch Series 7 would cost at least $120 more. The major difference between the Series 6 and Series 7 watches is the slightly larger screen on the Series 7, everything else is pretty much a wash.
