Xbox Core Wireless Controller

Electric Volt

Xbox Core Wireless Controller

25% off $64.99

Xbox Core Wireless Controller

Shock Blue

Xbox Core Wireless Controller

25% off $64.99

The Xbox Core Wireless Controller is easily the most versatile of any controller from Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo, as it works across generations (compatible with both the Xbox One and Series X|S generations) and works on PC for pretty much anything you want to play. With how expensive controllers have gotten in recent years, it’s always nice to snag an extra when they’re on sale at a nice discount. Today, you can grab the electric volt or shock blue colors for $49, which is a great discount off the $64.99 list price. The battery life on these is great, lasting up to 40 hours, and it has a 3.5 mm headset jack for easy headphone compatibility.

Get Like a Dragon: Ishin! For $20 Off

The Like a Dragon series (formerly known as the Yakuza series in the west) is still pumping out new games. Following up on hits like the Judgment spinoff series and Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the series is taking a quick side trip in the form of Like a Dragon: Ishin! This game takes place decades before the rest of the series, and it shifts its focus from the yakuza to the samurai. It’s got the same dramatics and side stories you expect from the franchise, but it’s all dropped into an entirely new setting. This adventure is $39.99 today, which is the lowest price we’ve seen since its February launch.

The Monster Hunter-Like Wild Hearts Is 28% Off

Wild Hearts

Wild Hearts just came out in February, and it’s already down in price to $49.99. Developed by the Koei Tecmo team behind the Dynasty Warriors series, Wild Hearts is Omega Force’s take on the monster hunting genre. I’m a huge Monster Hunter fan, and Wild Hearts is easily my most-played game of 2023 so far. It scratches the itch of a next-gen Monster Hunter while we wait for whatever comes next from Capcom, but it also easily has its own identity, thanks to its crazy nature-infused monsters. There are also some incredibly fun building mechanics, where you can construct hammers, harpoons, walls, and more on the fly as you work to take down the fearsome beasts.

Saints Row Day 1 Edition

Saints Row 2022 wasn’t exactly what fans were hoping for in the franchise’s long-awaited return. Still, there’s some value to be had from romping around a silly open world at a cheap price, especially if you’re a legacy fan of the franchise. So if you enjoyed past Saints Row games and have been waiting for a big price drop to jump into the new one, today could be your day. The Saints Row reboot is $24.99 today on all platforms, one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen since its launch in the middle of last year.

Metroid Prime Remastered and Advance Wars Re-Boot Camp Are In Stock

Metroid Prime Remastered
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp

I know all the hype is about Zelda right now, but there are some other great Nintendo Switch titles to look forward to while you wait. Metroid Prime Remastered has been in and out of stock since it released back in February, but the stock has finally started to settle into a nice groove. So, you can grab Metroid Prime Remastered on Nintendo Switch right now if you still want to see what all of the hype is about. Plus, continuing in the amazing GameCube and GBA nostalgia Nintendo is just pumping out right now, Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp finally launches this month after a year-long delay. We don’t know how plentiful physical copies will be of this game that Nintendo has barely promoted, so you may want to lock in your preorder for it now.

Get the Xbox Series X Forza Horizon 5 Bundle

Xbox Series X – Forza Horizon 5 Bundle

Xbox Series X and Forza Horizon 5 are a match made in heaven. This open world racing game is so good that it won IGN’s Game of the Year award in 2021. Now, it’s being bundled in with the Xbox Series X console, and the excellent Hot Wheels expansion. Plus, there’s no better time to jump into the world of Forza Horizon 5, as the Forza Horizon 5 Rally Adventure expansion just dropped, adding even more content into this already massive game. Plus, the Xbox Series X is sure to be a good investment in 2023 and beyond, with games like Redfall, Diablo IV, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Starfield, and a lot more in the pipeline.

Once you set up a shiny new console, storage is one of the more annoying things you’ll have to think about. Fortunately, Seagate is making it easy on Xbox owners today with a discount on its 1 TB SSD expansion card. This is one of the most popular options to expand the storage on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, and today you can expand your storage by a terabyte for $189.99. It’s easy to install, it was designed in partnership with Xbox, and once you plug it in you’ll never have to think about it again.

PlayStation DualSense Charging Station for PS5

PlayStation DualSense Charging Station

PlayStation 5

PlayStation DualSense Charging Station

If there’s one thing I wish the PlayStation 5 did just a little bit better, it’s controller battery life. While not as dire as the DualShock 4 on PS4, the DualSense controllers still don’t last quite as long as I’d like before the battery warning notification pops up on the screen. To prevent this problem, you can just pop the controllers in the DualSense charging station when you’re not using them. This way, the controllers charge when you’re not playing and are ready to go for marathon game sessions of games like Resident Evil 4. Plus, the aesthetic matches the black and white visuals of the rest of the PlayStation 5 hardware lineup, making it a great fit for your entertainment center.

Amazon is offering a SanDisk Ultra 400GB Micro SDXC card for only $34. Alternatively, you can get a 512GB model for only $39.99. That’s cheaper than the best deals we saw on the same cards during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. With only 32GB of starting space (and some of it reserved for the OS), you’ll barely fit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield, which tap out at 13.5GB each! There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.

The Samsung 990 Pro is currently one of the fastest, if not the fastest, SSDs out there. It outperforms other top-end contenders like the WD SN850X or SK Hynix P41. The only problem was, it had an outrageous price of $279.99. Fortunately, that’s changed. Samsung just cut the price of the 2TB model by a whopping $100. At the current price of $179.99, it’s a very competitive with all the other top end SSDs. If you want the absolute best 2TB SSD money can buy, this should be at the top of your list.

If you get a PS5, make sure you have an appropriate gaming TV to bring out the console’s full potential. Woot is offering a brand new LG Evo C2 65″ 4K OLED TV with full manufacturer’s warranty for $1499.99. That’s cheaper than Amazon’s best price during Black Friday. The LG C2 is one of the best TVs on the market, especially for current gen console gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There’s also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV’s version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model. Woot is owned by Amazon.

If you’ve been waiting for a price drop before jumping on the bandwagon, this will be the best deal you’ll find for a while.

Alienware Aurora R15 Liquid Cooled Intel Core i9-13900K RTX 4090 Gaming PC with 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 1350W PSU

21% off $4,529.99

$3,599.99

The R15 is Alienware’s latest and top of the line gaming PC, equipped with a 13th gen Intel Core i9 Raptor Lake processor and an overpowered GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. The 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900K boasts a turbo-boosted clock speed of 5.8GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and 64MB cache. This is one of the most powerful CPU you can get right now, it’s only competition being the far more expensive AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The RTX 4090 is far and away the most powerful video card you can get right now, leaving competitors like AMD’s latest Radeon RX 7900 XTX in the dust.

This config has been upgraded with Cryo-Tech liquid cooling for the processor, which is essentially a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler compared to the air cooling on the Intel config. The “Cryo-Tech” liquid cooler improves cooling even further by upgrading the AIO with a slightly thicker radiator, RGB lighting, and better fans.

39% off $2,449.99

$1,499.99

This config is equipped with a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 3080 is the best card you can get if you’re looking for a GPU that’s powerful enough to run games at 4K @ 60fps at the lowest price. I myself currently run an RTX 3080 equipped system paired with a 4K display and I can run Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, and Hogwarts Legacy just fine at a steady 60fps. Of course, an RTX 4080 or 4090 would allow you to turn on ray tracing while maintaing the same fps, but honestly, is that worth an extra $800-$1800? The liquid cooled Ryzen 7 5800X is a generation old, but it’s still an excellent gaming and workstation processor that pairs very well with the RTX 3080. Other features include an 80PLUS Platinum 750W power supply and a clear side panel to show off your interior components.

$1,229.99

Here’s a pretty nice deal on an excellent gaming PC for around $1200. This HP ENVY PC features a 12th gen Intel Core i9-12900 16-core Alder Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. The Intel Core i9-12900 is one of the best CPUs available… you’d need to get an Intel Raptor Lake or AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU to get anything as good or better. The RTX 3070 is a very solid video card for this price level; it will easily get you 60fps+ at up to 1440p gaming.

Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon Edition on Amazon

Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon Edition

The Zelda Switch OLED might be the star of the show but let’s not forget that the Splatoon themed Nintendo Switch OLED exists. The Splatoon Edition includes a sweet pair of blue and yellow gradient Joy-Con controllers (white underbelly) and a graffiti adorned Switch body and docking station. Of course personal preferences differ, but in my opinion this Switch looks just as good as the new Zelda console.

Not only do you get the Nintendo Switch console with the rare Mario Red Joy-Con controllers, you also get to choose one game among these three: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, or Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. This is a more tempting deal than what we saw on Black Friday, which was a Switch with Neon controllers and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the same price.
