In addition to a range of Back to School deals, Best Buy has now launched a sizable 4-day Apple Shopping Event alongside Amazon’s competitor sale. While select gear is lower over at Amazon, you will either way now find even lower prices on AirPods Pro 3 sitting down at nearly 25% off, joined by $150 off iPhone Air, a notable MacBook Neo offer by way of a FREE $25 Best Buy gift card, up to $130 off Apple Watch Ultra 3, and much more. 

This week’s best Apple discounts are headlined by the now even lower price on the sought-after AirPods Pro 3 at 25% off the list price, some solid offers on the Apple Certified Refurbished Store, and some rare Apple Gift Card deals. However, we also have a special 4-day Apple Shopping Event on tap this week with notable MacBook Neo discounts, the ongoing $500 price drop on this M5 Pro MacBook Pro, Apple Watch Series 11 from $299, up to $130 off Ultra 3, all-time lows on iPhone Air, and much more waiting down below. 

Nintendo’s big Switch 2 release of the year, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, has been officially revealed, but very little is known about it. Nintendo did mistakenly drop a brief description, and it has told us it is coming this year, but what is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake release date? How much is it going to cost? And what sort of remake are we going to get?

Best Buy launched a wide-ranging Apple Shopping Event today that will run through the weekend. There are certainly some notable deals here, not the least of which $149 off brand new iPhone Air models and this Apple gift card promotion you can leverage towards the upcoming iPhone 18 series. But, alongside Amazon dropping the price even lower on AirPods Pro 3 this morning, it is also offering much better deals on Apple Watch Ultra 3 right now. 

In case you lost your internet connection or something, and didn’t already hear, Rockstar officially announced details on when we will get an extended look at Grand Theft Auto this morning. That sounds a lot like we are in for some actual gameplay for the biggest game in gaming…finally, but this is not just another trailer drop folks. This morning we effectively got a trailer for a trailer you’ll need a paid subscription to watch, sort of. 

Bose is officially unveiling its next-generation QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) today. After launching its high-end 2nd Gen Ultra QuietComfort over-ears last September, today it is taking its more affordable noise cancelling headphones into the next-generation. 

This is it folks, we are getting the long awaited extended look at Grand Theft Auto 6 on August 27! Rockstar has now made an official announcement on all of its social channels and on the Rockstar newsfeed – Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look “will premiere on Netflix Thursday, August 27 at 3 p.m. ET and will also launch on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the Grand Theft Auto VI site at 9 p.m. ET on August 27.”

Updating…

The countdown clock is ticking and today could be your very last chance at the big-time Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 pre-orders. Alongside the up to $1,230 off with an instant trade-in credit, which might not be nearly as generous starting as soon as tomorrow (no matter which device you have to trade), Samsung is also serving up FREE $200 credits that can score you a FREE set of Galaxy Buds 4, a giant deal on Galaxy Watch 9, or as much as $300 off Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 when ordered alongside the new phones. Delivery times are starting to seriously slip directly from Samsung though, so it is also worth considering the Best Buy and Amazon pre-order deals as well. 

Update 8/6: While Samsung might continue some of the deals on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 beyond delivery day, the countdown clock is ticking and today is scheduled to be the last shot at the pre-order deals.

Samsung has now launched pre-orders for the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8. You can land up to $1,230 off with an instant trade-in credit, but Samsung is also now offering a straight $100 off with code PAYPAL100 as well a FREE $200 Samsung credit that can net you a FREE pair of Galaxy Buds 4 and more. On top of that, adding either the new Galaxy Watch 9 or Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 to the same cart as the new Fold models will knock as much as $300 off at checkout.

Alongside the MacBook Air and M5 series MacBook Pro, Apple’s much more affordable new MacBook Neo also saw a price hike recently, but you can side step that by way of the official Apple Certified Refurbished Store – MacBook Neo starts at $689 at Amazon, but you can score one from the best Apple refurbished store there is with a full Apple warranty from $599. 

If you’re planning on picking up a new iPhone 18 series device next month (or really any time this year) from the official Apple Store, you might as well flip out some of that cash ahead of time and secure some FREE Best Buy credit in the process. 

Best Buy is now throwing some completely FREE credit with the purchase of Apple gift cards. With the new iPhone 18 series set for launch in roughly a month from now, and some particularly notable deals on MacBook and Studio Displays on the official Apple Refurb Store, this is a solid chance to land some FREE credit and put the gift cards to good use. 

Nomad’s latest-generation ChargeKey is a super handy keychain charging and data transfer tool. I wasn’t sure if I was very going to put it good use before it landed in my daily carry when it first launched, but it definitely has, and now the brand has debuted an all-new silver model. 

The Switch 2 leaks aren’t done just yet (and probably never will be) and Diablo VI for Switch 2 is up next. It’s not the Ocarina of Time release date, but we have it on good authority the long-awaited Diablo IV Switch 2 release is all but imminent and now more than likely just over a month away. 

There are less than two days to take advantage of the pre-order discounts on Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 with up to up to $1,230 off via an instant trade-in credit, $200 Samsung credit, $30 Reserve credit, and more straight from Samsung. While shipping times are beginning to slip well into September at this point on various configurations from Samsung, both Best Buy and Amazon still appear to be delivering the devices as early as Monday or sooner.

The price increase on Switch 2 is quickly approaching, and Nintendo just warned folks that the offer on the Choose your Game bundle deal is ending soon. If you are looking to land a console before all of that happens, you might want consider the savings opportunities live this month, be it the Choose Your Game Bundle or this “Grade A” refurbished option at Woot for even less – you can grab one right now at $399.99 shipped. 

Alongside its current Back to School EV Sale, Segway has a pre-order launch deal on its new Max G3 Plus Electric Scooter running through the next few weeks that drops the price down to $1,149.99 shipped, which is matching over at Amazon. After this initial deal ends, the MSRP will be set at $1,500, meaning you are getting a solid $350 savings jumping on it now before the gates officially open. Pre-orders placed between now and August 24th are slated to begin shipping August 25th through September 4th, 2026. Head below to learn about this all-new premium ride.

It is Nintendo Direct day and pre-order deals are still live on Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. We did just recently highlight this deal, but that was right before Nintendo announced today’s Direct presentation and we wanted to get this offer front and center once again. You can still land an early deal on the physical copy at both Amazon and Walmart, and likely only until the game releases in mid-September. We have seen some of these Switch 2 exclusive pre-orders jump back up in price before release day, so if you know you want a copy for day one now’s a good time to scoop one – the Amazon price guarantee here will ensure you pay the lowest price it drops to between now and launch day no matter what you pay now. 

• Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave Nintendo Switch 2 Edition $70 (Reg. $80)
• At Amazon and Walmart

Two of the biggest launches in recent memory might very well be landing in the same month this year – GTA VI and The end of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Grand Theft Auto VI will land on November 19, this we know for sure, but it looks like there now might be good reason to believe Nintendo could go toe-to-toe with the Rockstar behemoth. 

Update 8/3: We knew it wasn’t going to last forever, but Nintendo is now informing folks that the Choose your Game Switch 2 bundle is “‘ENDING SOON’ and quite possibly right before the price hike goes like in September of this year.

There’s only one month left before Nintendo Switch 2 consoles get even more expensive. You could hope to get lucky and land one of those very short-lived discounts we caught at Amazon a couple weeks ago, or you could jump on one of the discounts now while you still can.

Sony has now officially unveiled the new Olive Gray edition of its WH-1000XM6 ANC headphones with a launch deal (also available at Best Buy, but there is no deal there). The brand has been dishing up a series of new colorways for its best headphones since release in mid 2025, but it’s not done quite yet. 

Nintendo just officially announced the next Nintendo Direct. Don’t get too excited – it’s not the Ocarina of Time show you’re likely waiting on, but Fire Emblem fans are in for a dedicated show this week to get a better look at Fortune’s Weave ahead of release in mid September. 

Best Buy has now updated and launched a new August Back To School Sale event. Alongside the usual Deals of the Day offers, Best Buy has now updated its main sale page with a series of new offers on everything from laptops and Apple gear to smart TVs, dorm-ready coolers and fridges, Galaxy tablets, and more.

It’s that time of the month, builders! As the clock ticks us closer and closer to the release of all new LEGO sets, there is a TON to be excited about this time around. July was extremely calm with only five new builds hitting shelves, but August is promising a massive collection of 97 new LEGO sets for you to get your hands on – plus, two GWP sets for select purchases, too. It’s going to be an exciting month, and you can get the full breakdown of these releases below.

While it has been slow going as of late, Nintendo is finally updating the Switch 2 Nintendo Classics GameCube library again with a new Mario game, and we are going to take an updated look at the lineup for summer 2026. 

Grand Theft Auto VI is coming, and quickly at that. Now less than 4 months away from your console, we are yet to see any gameplay for what might be the most anticipated game release in history, and the internet is anxiously waiting. It’s been over a year since we got a proper trailer, never mind gameplay, but, according to an insider with a very good track record, that will likely soon change, and it could be as soon as next week. 

After debuting its Nexode Air lineup of chargers, UGREEN is back with a more powerful option aimed at power users who have multiple devices to charge simultaneously. The new Nexode Pro delivers up to 160W across four ports and includes a built-in display with touch controls, along with a retractable USB-C cable. That makes it one of the more feature-packed chargers we’ve seen from UGREEN so far. It’s also seeing a solid launch deal at $50 off right now, making this a great time to pick one up. Head below for a closer look at its features and what it’s like to use.

Update 7/29: If you’re not going to be using the FREE store credit at Samsung on a new case (it can be used on the new Galaxy Watches, Buds, and more), Amazon is offering the official Samsung cases at 30% off and just about everything is now in-stock. 

The new new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 are now up for pre-order with loads of notable discounts $100 off with code PAYPAL, plus FREE $200 credit, FREE Galaxy buds, and more. But if you’re using the bonus Samsung credit that comes with your pre-order towards something more substantial, like the FREE buds or as much as $300 off the new Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, you might be interested in the early 30% price drops Amazon is offering on the official new cases. Scope out all of the options below.

The giant pre-orders discounts on the new Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 roll on this weekend, and we waned to highlight the debut offers once again as Samsung can tend to start to remove some of the better bundle and bonus discounts as we push through the pre-order window. As of right now you can still score a FREE $200 Samsung credit that can result in as much as $230 of Galaxy Watch 9, $300 off Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and even a FREE pair of Galaxy Buds 4 when added to your order. And if you’re not leveraging the enhanced trade-in values you can also use code PAYPAL still at checkout to knock another $100 off your order. 

PlayStation has officially announced that it will stop producing physical games discs, and some folks are not happy about it. And while this move isn’t expected to happen for over a year from now, almost all physical games on the official PlayStation Store are already out of stock. 

The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8 pre-order deals are still flying over at Samsung. But unless you’re trading in a relatively newer device, or are specifically looking to bundle the phone up with the new watches or buds, the up to $350 in FREE credit Amazon is offering might be even more valuable for you. 

While we are still awaiting the official release date for Switch 2’s biggest release of the year – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, as well as an official launch for FromSoft’s The Duskbloods, it is time to take stock of the games confirmed to be landing on Switch in 2026. There is a long list of titles already locked down for 2026, from James Bond and brick-built Batman to the new Switch Sports Resort game, the Kingdom Hearts collection, and more. Let’s dive in. 

Over the weekend, we saw a new trailer drop at San Diego Comic Con 2026 for the next installment of the Avengers movies, and shortly after, LEGO and Marvel also ripped the veil off five new Avengers: Doomsday sets that will be hitting the market this fall – and four of them are now officially available to pre-order ahead of release. Not only do these sets give you some incredible builds filled with plenty of story elements and texture, but they also provide a nice selection of minifigures to populate and bring those story elements to life.

Right alongside the three exclusive new low prices on Heybike’s Mars 2.0, ALPHA, and Horizon e-bikes, the brand is also launching the second-generation CityScape 2.0 Commuter e-bike down at $899 shipped.

Head below to learn all about what it can bring to your commuting needs.

Switch 2 gamers everywhere are soon to the field of Hyrule as Nintendo ramps up for the launch of what is widely expected to be its biggest holiday launch – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Rumors and leaks have been flying since well before Nintendo made the remake official, and that special edition Zelda Switch 2 console is surfacing again, but it might not be the Ocarina of Time model. 

Burton Goods, one of my personal favorite leather accessory makers, has unleashed its all-new (and particularly gorgeous), Modern Leather MacBook Backpack. Not only is there a limited time pre-order discount, but you can use our exclusive 9to520 code to knock an additional 20% off at checkout for the best deal you’ll find anywhere.

If you do prefer to grab your pre-order elsewhere though, you might want to avoid the Best Buy offers – it is offering notable trade-in values…but they are better straight from Samsung, and it is offering $200 gift cards…but Amazon is offering up to $350 gift cards. 

While all of the latest PlayStation news has been surrounding Sony’s insistence on ridding its gaming ecosystem of disc-based gaming, despite waves of backlash, one title you will be able to score on disc is the new Marvel’s Wolverine game set for release later this year. And Sony just dropped a new “Story Trailer” to give us some insight into the narrative for Logan’s upcoming adventure. 

ORICO has a long list of SSD enclosures and hubs in its catalog, most of which are priced quite reasonably and also frequently available at discounted prices. The 8-in-1 model featured here is one of the brand’s most useful – and also one of the more popular – MagSafe accessories, which is an M.2 SSD enclosure with seven additional ports for your iPhone. I’ve been using it as my main hub to simplify my workflow across both my iPhone and Mac, and you can read about my experience below to see whether it’s worth picking up.
