The final 24 hours of Amazon’s massive 4-day Prime Day sale event starts now. After a full 72 hours of deal hunting, it all comes down to today – chances are we won’t see better deals on thousands of items than we will see today for the rest of the summer. There is of course always a possibility even more notable price drops pop up over the next week or so on select products – this certainly isn’t unheard of – but by in large today is the day, and the clock is now ticking on what has been the biggest deal event of the year. 

As we already reported, Samsung is offering some serious pre-order deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and more affordable Z Flip 7 FE, as well as the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025. Our links will net you an extra $50 credit when preordering on top of the up to $1,000 in trade-in value and the cash savings Samsung is offering in the form of FREE upgrades. But we wanted to point out that, with the added credit here, you can land up to $120 off your Galaxy Z Fold 7 pre-order and score a completely FREE Galaxy Watch 8 or a set of Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. Details below. 

Update 9/4: All-new Ghost of Yōtei PS5, controllers, and console covers will be up via direct.playstation at 10 a.m. ET today – the virtual queue typically goes live before then. 

One of the most highly-anticipated PlayStation 5 releases of the year is going live tonight as Sony is set to host a State of Play dedicated to Ghost of Yōtei. We have seen a few looks at the game thus far, mostly a trailer form, but this afternoon Sony is promising a lengthy gameplay deep dive to give us a proper look at the new open world ninja/samurai experience ahead of launch this fall. Come watch it with us below.

While we still have one more day to go for this year’s massive Prime Day sale, there are already some absolutely amazing headphone and earbud deals up for grabs. While it comes as absolutely no surprise, the headphone and earbud category has been a very busy one this year so we thought we would organize the best options into one handy collection for you. The AirPods Pro 2 are $100 off and at the best price ever, much like the AirPods 4, the new Powerbeats Pro 2 have landed at a new all-time low and we have the very first cash discount on Sony’s brilliant XM6 headphones – if you’re going to buy some headphones this summer, you’ll probably want to do it now.

As we reported a couple days ago, Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are now available on Amazon, and now all of the official Nintendo Switch 2 accessories are too. Unlike the consoles that are locked behind Amazon’s invite request system (more details on that right here), all of Nintendo’s Switch 2 add-ons are now available for purchase and in-stock (for now anyway).

You’ll also find loads of early Prime Day deals on Amazon’s in-house gear already on tap today too.

Reports are surfacing all over the internet about what could very well be a detrimental flaw in the Nintendo Switch 2 design with regards to overheating issues.

Check it all out down below. 

Reports have been surfacing in major way over the last 48 hours or so of issues regarding Joy-Con connectivity on Switch 2. If you have been experiencing constant or even internment connection issues with your Switch 2 controllers, that HDMI cable you’re using is likely the culprit. Details await below.

Nintendo Switch 2 will be available to purchase today at Best Buy folks. This restock, in case you missed our previous coverage, is in-store only and most U.S. Best Buy locations open up at 10 a.m. local time (though you might want to call ahead of time to check your specific store). 

Ahead of the Switch 2 launch in the wake of Trump’s ugly tariff situation, analysts sent shockwaves through the gaming world after suggesting the price of the next-gen Nintendo console might end up being even higher than Nintendo initially revealed. Nintendo held the fort and stayed strong on the $449 and $499 launch prices nonetheless, but it still remains to be seen if it will remain steadfast into 2026, especially considering Nintendo Canada just officially announced what sounds a lot like hardware price hikes. 

As is customary, Amazon is reminding folks they can score a FREE $15 Amazon credit before Prime Day (check out the early deals here) if you haven’t made use of your Amazon Photos service yet – all you have to do is upload a single photo too. The details are below.
