Check out the new hot daily deals for today, including over 40% off your next HBO Max subscription if you prepay for a year, a powerful Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 GPU for under $1K, the new LG C2 Evo 65" OLED TV for under $2K for the firs time ever, a rare discount on uniquely colored Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, and more.
40% Off HBO Max When You Prepay For a Year
Game of Thrones' House of the Dragon Premieres August 21
Pay for 12 months of HBO Max and get 40% off your order total. HBO Max is normally $9.99/month ($119.88/yr) for the ad-supported plan and $14.99/month ($179.88/yr) for the ad-free plan. Instead you'd be paying $69.99 for 1 year of the ad-supported plan or $104.99 for 1 year of the ad-free plan. That's technically a savings of 41.6%.
This is the perfect time to sign up for HBO Max. The highly anticipated Game of Thrones' House of the Dragon premieres exclusively on HBO Max on August 21. Set 200 years before the events of the original Game of Thrones TV series, House of the Dragon covers the fall of House Targaryen. In addition to Game of Thrones, HBO Max is host to the entire collection of DC movies (including The Batman), Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings and movies like Dune, King Richard, Free Guy, and much, much more.
Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 GPU for $999.99
Woot has the Zotac GeForce RTX 3090 GPU for only $999.99. This is an outstanding price for one of the most powerful video cards available. On Amazon, the least expensive RTX 3090 GPU is over $1300. Although the RTX 3090 is indeed a best-in-class gaming card (it's as much as 20% more powerful than the RTX 3080 at 4K resolution), it's actually not really intended for gamers. The RTX 3090 is the workstation GPU of choice not because of its processing power (which it has in spades), but because of the massive 24GB of GDDR6X RAM.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons in Blue/Yellow and Purple/Orange on Sale at Amazon
The Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (pair) in Blue & Neon Yellow or Neon Purple & Neon Orange have dropped in price to about $73, down slightly from its original $80 MSRP. That's not huge savings by any means, but these colors are rarely discounted. This is a good opportunity to pick up some extra controllers for Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, or any other myriad of Switch games that offer local multiplayer. Or, like me, you can pick one up to replace your old Joy-Cons that's suffering from controller drift.
48" LG C1 4K OLED Smart Gaming TV for $897
The 48" LG C1 OLED TV has dropped back down in price to $896.99. That's $600 off MSRP and only $100 more than the best deal we saw on Amazon Prime Day. The C1 is classified as a TV, and it is, but it's also one of the best gaming monitors on the market. It's hundreds of dollars cheaper than the other highest end gaming monitors like the Samsung Neo G9 49" Mini LED or the Alienware 34" QD-OLED gaming monitor, and is arguably better. It has HDMI 2.1 ports to support 4K @ 120Hz if you have a gaming PC equipped with an RTX 30 series GPU, PS5, or Xbox Series X, as well as variable refresh rate (VRR), G-SYNC, and ALLM. OLED panels have unrivalled response times, so ghosting is non-existent. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, and wider color gamut. Not only does this translate to better gaming, but also better image quality overall, including with 4K HDR content.
65" Hisense U7G 4K QLED Gaming TV for $699.99
HDMI 2.1 and native 120Hz panel for true 4K @ 120Hz
The Hisense U7G is normally $900, but today Amazon has it for $200 off. This TV is one of the best 65" gaming TVs you'll find for under $1K right now. It features an IPS panel with 120Hz native refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 inputs, which means this TV supports 4K @ 120Hz gaming on your current gen PS5 or Xbox Series X console. It also boasts fantastic image quality thanks to its quantum dot LED (QLED) panel with wide color gamut, full array LED backlighting with 90 local dimming zones, and up to a whopping 1,000nits of peak brightness.
65" LG Evo C2 4K OLED Gaming TV Finally Under $2K
The new 2022 LG C2 model has an improved "Evo" OLED panel over the C1. Previously reserved only for the LG G-series OLED TVs, the Evo panel offers higher brightness levels, one of the few areas that traditional LED LCD TVs have OLEDs beat. As always, OLED panel blows away any IPS, VA, or TN monitor in terms of HDR, black levels and color rendition. This TV excels in gaming as well. It has HDMI 2.1 ports and supports 4K @ 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM, perfect for the PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC equipped with an RTX 30 series GPU. It also boasts 4:4:4 chroma sampling for clear, sharp text as well as sub-1ms response times and native G-SYNC compatibility for zero tearing and ghosting. The new C2 model also introduces native GeForce Now and Stadia streaming support.
8BitDo Pro 2 Nintendo Switch & PC Compatible Wireless Bluetooth Gamepad Controller
Save $10 on this well-rated controller for the Switch. The 8BitDo Pro 2 is the updated version of the very popular Pro+ model. It uses Bluetooth so it works with the Switch out of the box with no dongle required. For almost half the price of a Switch Pro controller, it has a lot going for it. The SN30 Pro 2 supports button remapping, adjustable analog sticks, hair triggers, and macros. Unlike most other 3rd party controllers, this supports rumble (not HD rumble though). There's even a handy little switch that lets you instantly change from Nintendo Switch to PC pairing. Of course the retro style also looks great. If you don't want to pony up $70 for the Switch Pro controller, this is easily the next best thing.
Adata Premium 1TB M.2 SSD for PS5 for $99.99
A PS5-compatible 1TB SSD has finally dropped to under $100. Amazon has the Adata Premium 1TB M.2 SSD, which was made specifically for the PS5 console, for only $99.99 after you clip a $10 coupon on the product page. This is currently the least expensive PS5-compatible 1TB SSD, especially one that already has a preinstalled heatsink. It boasts transfer speeds of up to 6,100MB/s, which is considerably faster than the PS5's recommended minimum of 5,500MB/s. The preinstalled heatsink is made out of aluminum and has a very thin profile so it won't get in the way of the PS5 cover properly closing.
Wingspan Board Game for $39.94
Wingspan is an incredibly good board game. So good in fact that we deemed it the best board game of 2019. Improbably enough, the year's hottest game is one about keeping birds in a nature reserve. But the wide appeal of the theme, lovely art and simple rules meant lots of players got to enjoy the fiendish engine-building game beneath. A choice of a mere four actions blossoms into an excruciating balance between adding birds, feeding them and scoring points. Yet tricky as it is, the pace of play leaves you itching for another try to evolve your strategies, while 170 bird cards ensure every game is different. The board game is worth it even at the $65 retail price, but today it's nearly 40% off.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $39.99
Both digital and physical copies are discounted
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch has dropped to $39.99, a 33% savings from its $59.99 MSRP. This is undeniably the best racing game for the Switch console. The base game includes a whopping 42 characters and 48 courses, and you can get 48 more courses as paid DLC. Choose from a dizzying array of fun game modes to choose from and the ability to play with up to 4 player split screen or even more over online multiplayer, and some of the best graphics to grace the Switch console. Forget best racing game, MK8 is a serious contender for best Nintendo Switch game, period.
Dell Has Physical Copies of Switch Games on Sale (Including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $39.99)
Dell has physical copies of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as well as a few other Nintendo Switch titles, for $39.99. Physical games aren't outdated just yet. They can be traded back to stores, exchanged for other games, or swapped between two different Nintendo Switches much easier than their digital counterparts.
Sony's New A90K 48" and 42" 4K OLED TVs Specifically for PS5 and PC Gaming
Sony recently released its 2022 A90K OLED TV, catering specifically to PC and PS5 gamers. Today, Amazon has it dropped the price enough that this is a better deal than the equivalently sized LG C2 OLED models. The A90K is only available in 42" and 48" sizes; they're meant for closer range viewing, like at your gaming desk or in a smaller space. Unlike most other TVs, the included stand is adjustable: it can be mounted nearly flush with the table surface, or it can be raised to perfectly fit a soundbar underneath.
The A80J has a host of gaming-centric features like HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz passthrough for PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers as well as 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for PC use, variable refresh rate (VRR), and ALLM. There are also some PS5 exclusive features like Auto HDR Tone Mapping (similar to HGiG) and Auto Genre Picture Switch. The A90K uses LG's WOLED panel, so image quality should be similar to the LG OLED TVs.
ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC for $499
Walmart is offering this AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GTX 1660 Ti equipped gaming PC for only $799. The GTX 1660 Ti is still a very capable video card that can handle just about any game at 1080p resolution. You certainly won't find a more powerful video card for this price.
Resident Evil Decades of Horror Bundle
The latest Humble Bundle offers a sweet deal for any Resident Evil fans with a gaming PC — or, if you’ve managed to snag one, a Steam Deck. You can spend between $1 and $30, and you’ll get up to 10 Resident Evil games. If you were to buy them all at MSRP, they’d set you back $275. Like I said, sweet deal. But bundle goes away on August 24, so grab it before then if you want it. The games include the rebuilt editions of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as well as a 50% off coupon voucher for Resident Evil: Village.
Razer Anzu Smart Glasses for $59.99 (Was $200)
The Razer Anzu glasses come with two sets of interchangeable lenses; blue-light filtering lenses for indoor PC use and polarized sunglass lenses for outdoor use. Blue light filtering lenses are designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue caused by high energy blue light emitted from your computer monitor. Blue light is a melatonin suppressor, and the theory is that using your monitor at night suppresses your natural sleep cycle. If that's true, blue light filtering lenses should help you fall asleep better, even after an intense late night gaming session. The tinted polarized lenses work much like any regular pair of sunglasses; the polarized film provides 99% UVA/UVB protection and is designed to reduce glare and eliminate potential eye damage from the sun.

Amazon has the 13" model for $1150, a substantial 12% price drop from its $1300 MSRP. The new M2 chip is about 20% more powerful than the previous generation M1 chip, which was already faster than any other CPU found on previous Apple MacBook laptops. The M2 chip is also extremely power efficient, with this laptop boasting up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. In addition to the new M2 CPU, this laptop features a gorgeous 13" Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and P3 wide color, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.

The M2 CPU is the same one found in the MacBook Pro mentioned above, but instead of a 10-core GPU this one is equipped with an 8-core GPU. It has a slightly larger display (14" vs 13") and it's lighter, weighing in at a mere 2.7 pounds. The Retina display boats 500 nits of brightness and P3 wide core, and the laptop is equipped with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G phone normally sells for $899.99 by itself. However, if you purchase the phone from Best Buy and activate it on the Verizon or AT&T network right away, you'll get it for only $299.99. You do not need to sign up for more than one month of service! You can set up a new postpaid Verizon account and cancel after just 1 month.

Xbox Series S for $249.99
If you want to buy the Xbox Series S console standalone without any kind of bundle, then Adorama currently has it for an unbeatable price of $249, which is $50 off MSRP. The Xbox Series S can play all the same games that the Xbox Series X can play. It's not as powerful as the Xbox Series X, but it runs games just as well as the Xbox Series S by outputting in native 1440p and upscaling to 4K. You also have access to the entire Xbox Series X library. It's a great budget friendly solution to access all the amazing games that are on Xbox Game Pass and, of course, it's $250 cheaper than the Xbox Series X.
Dell G15 15" RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop $685.99
The G15 is Dell's gaming-focused, value-minded series of laptops. They cost much less than a comparable Alienware laptop, but borrow some of the same internal features like the dual-fan active cooling system, Alienware's Command Center software for tweaking gaming settings and optimizing performance, and choice of gaming oriented GPUs.
For a laptop in the $700 price range, you won't find a more powerful GPU than the RTX 3050 Ti . An RTX 3060 equipped laptop usually runs for about $300-$400 more. The RTX 3050 Ti is a bit more powerful than the previous generation's GTX 1660 Ti and supports DLSS for better performance in supported games and ray tracing for better lighting effects. This card should be able to handle just about any game on the G15's 15" 1080p display without a hitch. It's paired with an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
Newest Apple TV 4K 32GB and 64GB Both on Sale

It boasts an A12 Bionic processor that boosts graphics performance, video decoding, and audio processing and delivers high frame rate HDR with Dolby Vision. It also includes a new Apple TV remote.

New Apple AirPods Pro for $179.99
The current generation Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding "truly wireless" earbuds you'll find, especially at this price point. "Truly wireless" earbuds have no wires whatsoever; even the earbuds aren't hardwired to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods with active noise cancelling technology. That, combined with the inherent nature of in-ear earbuds, means that the AirPods Pro will provide better noise isolation than over-ear headphones like the Bose QuietComfort or the Sony WH1000XM5. If you're thinking of getting a pair of new AirPods, we highly recommend jumping on this particular model.
