Invited or not, Best Buy has let itself into Amazon's Prime Day party, and it's bringing a bunch of rival gaming deals with it. From high-spec screens for your setup to the latest laptops, consoles, VR headsets, and accessories, the big box store is serious about getting its freak on this July. So, to save you jumping back and forth to different online storefronts, we've picked out the top deals live right now.
When shopping for Prime Day gaming deals, it's easy to forget that retailers other than Amazon exist. I mean, the subscriber day only exists because of the online giant, and it will still ultimately offer up plenty of discounts before and on July 17. That said, Best Buy is really rising the challenge with some of its price cuts, with $400 off the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 bringing it to $1,599.99 (was $1,999.99) and Samsung's speedy 240Hz Odyssey G4 monitor chopping things to $229.99 (down from $349.99).
It might be Amazon's big day to shine, but we continually price check Prime Day deals against rival retailers. While the event tends to feature record lows on the latest gaming tech, rivals like Best Buy do try and undercut subscriber deals, and we've caught a few that are well worth considering. Some of you will no doubt be looking to make good use of your Prime memberships, but if you don't have or want an Amazon account, this roundup will help you still save a chunk.
