Check out the new hot daily deals for today, including the lowest price ever on a 2022 42" LG C2 4K OLED gaming TV, new AirPods Pro 2nd gen preorder, WD SN850 PS5-compatible SSD, Acer Predator RTX 3070 gaming PC, a crazy good Humble 2K Megahits PC game bundle, 20% off a Plex Lifetime subscription, and more.
The 42" LG Evo C2 OLED TV has hit its lowest price ever on Amazon. The 42" replaces LG's 48" as the smallest 4K OLED TV on the market. The only OLED TV that matches this size is the Sony A90K, which costs $150 more at the moment. It performs just as well as its larger sized siblings as a gaming TV and its perfect for a smaller space, but where it really shines is as a gaming monitor for your PC. The 42" size is a better size than the 48" for most of us when we sit only a few feet away from our monitors. The C2 is LG's newest 2022 model and it is jam packed with features, like the new Evo panel with a higher brightness rating, HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K @ 120Hz on the PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series gaming PC, VRR, ALLM, 4:4:4 chroma sampling, G-SYNC, GeForce Now and Stadia streaming support, sub-1ms response time, near infinite contrast ratio and black levels, and more.
If you're weren't interested in the new AirPods Pro 2nd Gen earbuds in the first place, this $9 discount won't change your mind. But if you were planning to preorder one anyways, you might as well take the gratuitous savings. It has been almost three years since the first gen Apple AirPods Pro was released, so there are plenty of upgrades under the hood, even if the new AirPods Pro looks cosmetically identical. The biggest upgrade is the new Apple H2 chip, which promises better audio quality and improved active noice cancellation. There's also a new feature called "Adaptive Transparency Mode". This mode actually amplifies the ambient sound so that you can hear your surroundings better. In-ear earbuds traditionally have very good noise suppression even without active noise cancellation enabled, so this is a great way for people to listen in on the outside world without having to remove the earbuds.
Today Amazon has the 1TB WD Black SN850 PS5-compatible SSD with heatsink for just a tad over $100. The WD SN850 is currently the most popular and one of the best SSDs to get for your PS5 storage upgrade. It's also the only SSD that's officially certified for the PS5 console. It's blazing fast drive with transfer speeds rated at up to 7,000 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. This model even includes a heatsink that fits in the PS5 slot and is more robust than most other preattached heatsinks from other brands.
The XPG Gammix S70 Blade is not only the least expensive 1TB PS5 compatible SSDs available right now, it's the only 1TB PS5 compatible SSD under $100. Just because it's the cheapest doesn't mean it's the slowest. In fact, the S70 is actually one of the fastest SSDs available with transfer rates up to 7,400 MB/s. It's on par with the likes of the WD Black SN850, the Samsung 980 Pro, or the Seagate Firecude 530. To make this deal even sweeter, it already comes with a very low-profile heatsink.
The LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer is the perfect complement to the $800 Millennium Falcon. This set measures a gargantuan 42 inches long (the Millennium Falcon was "only" 33 inches at its widest), 26" wide, and 17" tall and consists of almost 5,000 bricks. It weighs in at a hefty 28 pounds. This set is almost never discounted, but Amazon has it today for $50 off. What's even nicer is the fact that this LEGO set is one of the few sets that wasn't hit by the recent wave of official LEGO price hikes.
Ring Fit Adventure is great for gamers who want to get some exercise in but don't actually enjoy working out. Ring Fit incorporates a huge variety of excellent workout exercises disguised as an RPG game. An epic adventure awaits you slaying monsters and dragons, tackling new levels, traversing different environments, acquiring powerups and skills, all the while toning your abs and burning calories.
Amazon has the best price on this RTX 3080 equipped Alienware Aurora gaming PC. The RTX 3080 is your best bang for your buck for 60+fps 4K gaming. It's significantly more powerful than the RTX 3070 or the RTX 2080 Ti. In addition to the powerful RTX 3080 GPU, this PC boasts a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
The latest Humble Bundle is easily one of the best deals we've seen for PC gamers this year. Pay as low as $16 and you'll get 18 games, including some amazing titles like the XCOM Ultimate Collection (includes XCOM 2), Bioshock: The Collection, Civilization VI, Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition, and Mafia Definitive Edition. This incredible bundle goes away on September 22, so grab it before then if you want it.
Amazon Store UK has the Nintendo Switch OLED with White Joy-Cons for only $309. That's only $10 more than the cost of the Nintendo Switch non-OLED model. The Nintendo Switch OLED features a larger, more vibrant OLED touchscreen display, an upgrade to the terrible OG kickstand, an ethernet port on the docking station, and an exclusive white Switch shell and matching Joy-Cons. If you have the budget to spring for this one, we definitely think it's worth the upgrade over the vanilla Switch.
Note that since this is shipped from Amazon Store UK and not Amazon, you'll be receiving the UK version of the Switch OLED. The Switch OLED is not region locked, so you'll be able to play US games without any hassle. However, you'll be receiving a UK plug. You'll need to get a UK to US plug adapter in order to charge your Switch here in the States.
This might be the lowest price we've ever seen for an Alienware x15 with an RTX 3070 GPU. The Alienware x15 is a newer, thinner redesign of the m15. In fact, it's the thinnest Alienware laptop ever. Because it hasn't been around as long, it's harder to find a good deal on it. This particular config comes well equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7-11800H CPU, RTX 3070 GPU with a TDP rating of 110W (with dynamic boost), 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. There's even a coupon code that drops the price by another $100.
The Alienware AW2521HLF 25" monitor is designed for games that benefit from the absolute highest framerate, especially shooters like Fortnite, PUBG, Apex Legends, CoD, or Battlefield. The 1080p resolution is very forgiving on video cards; an RTX 3060 Ti and still potentially reach the 240Hz cap that this monitor supports. The 240Hz refresh rate is paired with a fast 1ms response time and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility. The IPS panel offers wide viewing angles and 99% sRGB color coverage. Alienware monitors come with a 3 year warranty.
The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now has a title and a release date. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is out on May 12, 2023. That's a long ways off, but Amazon already has it up for preorder. BotW is one of the best Zelda games ever, and we expect Tears of the Kingdom to be another must-buy for the Nintendo Switch console. Amazon's Preorder Price Guarantee means that if the price ever drops below the amount you preordered for, Amazon will automatically honor the lower price.
The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core wireless controller will be released on September 21. This is fundamentally the same controller as the older generation Xbox Elite Series 2 controller at a much lower MSRP. The Elite Series 2 Core controller features pro gaming features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, and shorter hair trigger locks. Microsoft was able to significantly cut the price by removing some of the accessories that the original Elite controller came with. Specifically, the Elite Series 2 Core does not come with the extra paddles, thumbsticks, and d-pad. These accessories are still compatible with the Elite Series 2 Core, but if you want to get them, you'd have to buy them separately.
This is the lowest price we've seen for the newest Apple iPad (it was $299 on Amazon Prime Day). Apple's latest 10.2" iPad is a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service. It features the new Apple A13 Bionic chip for fast CPU and GPU performance to tackle just about anything, and the large 10.2-inch Retina display ensures everything is bright and crisp during use. iPad also features both a front-facing camera for voice chat, and rear camera for taking photos and videos.
This is one the only ways to get your hands on a Sega Genesis Mini 2 preorder, which releases in late October.

Note that there will be a $21.99 overseas shipping charge.

The Apple TV 4K happened to be one of Amazon Prime Day's hottest sellers. Today the price has dropped down to the same as what we saw on Prime Day. The newest Apple TV features two major upgrades. 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. The overall build quality is better than before, but the biggest enhancements are a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV.
The EVGA XR1 Pro Capture Card normally sells for $219.99, but Amazon has it for only $89.99 today. That's significantly cheaper than even the non-Pro model. The XR1 allows you to capture up to 1440p @ 60fps or 4K @ 30fps video It also supports 1440p @ 144Hz or 4K @ 60Hz passthrough. It's OBS certified for audio capture. This is a great way to record high resolution video and audio without stealing valuable CPU or GPU resources.
There's a new price drop on this Acer Predator Orion 3000 gaming PC that makes it almost $100 less that what we saw on Amazon Prime Day. The RTX 3070 is significantly more powerful than the RTX 3060 Ti or the RTX 2080 SUPER. It is the perfect card for 1440p gaming, even at high refresh rates. It's paired with an 11th generation Intel Core i7-11700F 8-core CPU, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and 1TB HDD. The case looks slick too, with its windowed side panel and RGB lighting.
There's a big price drop on inarguably the most powerful consumer video card on the market right now. The Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3090 Ti GPU, which launched earlier in the year with an eye watering MSRP of $1999, has dropped a whopping $1000 today to $999.99. The RTX 3090 Ti is roughly 20%-25% faster than the RTX 3080 and about 10% faster than the RTX 3090 at 4K resolutions and beyond. At under 4K resolutions, this card would be completely overkill. For most people, saving $350 and going withe the RTX 3080 deal mentioned below would probably be the better proposition. But if you absolutely want the best of the best, you can't beat this price.
