Console Deals
New Nintendo 3DS XL
Be sure to check out our Best Switch Bundles, Xbox Bundles, and PS4 Bundles if you’re searching for a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, or something particular.
-
Xbox One S Bundle + Rare Replay for $230 (Was $295) – The Starter Bundle comes with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass (Netflix for Xbox games), 3 months of Xbox Live Gold (to play online multiplayer), and a free copy of Rare Replay, which has 30 classic Rareware games in it.
-
Nintendo New 3DS XL SNES Edition for $150 (Was $199) – The 3DS is not a new system anymore, but Nintendo continues to support it with amazing games like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and others. With a huge library of games, it’s still worth a buy for a kid (or a kid at heart), and this version is made to look like the classic Super NES. Amazon also has some retro games like Super Mario World on sale for 3DS.
-
Nintendo Switch + Game on Walmart for $330 (Was $360) – It’s not an Amazon deal, but we thought you might want to know about this deal anyway. Normally the Switch is $300 by itself, but for $330, you get the system and a $60 game—your choice of Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or Splatoon 2. These are four of the Best Games on Switch.
Console Accessory Deals

We like all of these Prime Day deals, but our Best Switch Accessories and Best PS4 Accessories guides are also good resources if you’re looking for other recommended console accessories.

128GB MicroSD Card (Switch, etc) for $24 (Was $50)– This MicroSD card is on backorder, but you can still order it. Usually 128GB cards aren’t priced lower than $35, and they average around $45. The 64GB card for $14 is also a good deal. You can get a 200GB card for $55 as well, which is a good price. -
WD 2TB External Hard Drive (PS4) for $59 (Was $90) – If your PS4 hard drive is anywhere close to filling up, and it’s not hard if you own games like GTA V, you should consider an external hard drive. This one is compatible with PS4 and at a very good price.

iBuyPower Gaming Desktop PC for $1,000 (Was $1,149) – iBuyPower isn’t as famous as some other brands but they’ve been making computers for years.

PC Accessory Deals
LG Curved Ultrawide Monitor
-
LG 34-Inch Curved Ultrawide Gaming Monitor for $329 (Was $400) – We’ve used LG’s non-curved 34-inch monitor and highly recommend it. A curve isn’t necessary for gaming, but it is nice, and if you’re going to buy a monitor, you should consider an ultrawide. There are no downsides—just a lot more screen space.
-
Samsung 28-Inch UHD 4K Monitor for $250 (21 percent off) Reviews are solid for this 4K monitor. Just make sure you have a decent PC to power it.
