It’s officially Fall, and that means we’re only a couple of weeks away from Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days and a couple of months away from Black Friday. But if you don’t want to wait that long, incredible deals on gaming PCs, PS5 SSDs, and more are happening today. We’re also in the final few days of the Nintendo Customer Appreciation Sale, so be sure to pick up all the discounted physical Switch games.
TL;DR – The Best Deals for September 23
Take a scroll through today’s top discounts, and find out more below:
Discounted 1TB and 2TB PS5 SSDs
SSD prices keep skyrocketing, but if you’re after some semblance of a deal, grab either the Verbatim 1TB or 2TB SSD at Walmart. These PS5-compatible PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs with an M.2 2280 form factor already have an aluminum heatsink installed, a must for the PS5’s toasty slot. Both also far exceed the minimum sequential read speed requirements of the console, hitting up to 7,000MB/s. For added peace of mind, it looks like a 2-year limited warranty even comes with both drives.
$170 in Nintendo eShop Gift Cards for $150
When you buy a $150 Nintendo eShop Gift Card on Newegg, you get a bonus $20 eShop Gift Card, no code needed. While you can use these gift cards to buy digital games, DLC, online memberships, and in-game currency in the eShop, those funds can be added to your account to purchase hardware and physical games from the Nintendo Store, too. If you’re looking to pick up anything from Nintendo, it’s an incredible way to save. Maybe you even want to grab the new Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle?
$115 in Xbox Gift Cards for $100
The Nintendo eShop Gift Card isn’t the only gift card deal on Newegg. You can also snag a $100 Xbox Gift Card, which includes a $15 Xbox Gift Card while supplies last. After you receive it and add it to your Microsoft account, it can be used to buy games, apps, DLC, hardware, accessories, subscriptions, and more. It’s not just for Xbox either; it works at the Microsoft Store and Windows. If you haven’t picked up the GTA VI preorder, it’s also one way to save.

The GPU alone is going for $700 or more these days. Then add the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD, and you’ve got a killer 1080p and 1440p gaming PC.
Of course, that’s not the only gaming PC deal; check out even more highlights from the sale below:

The Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Pitch Black Elite Trainer Box is back in stock on Amazon and going for $77.37. Is it at MSRP? No, but it’s right around market value, shipped and sold by Amazon. Inside the box are 9 Boosters, a full-art foil promo card featuring Zarude, 65 card sleeves, 40 Pokémon TCG Energy cards, a player’s guide, and more.
Super Mario Galaxy for $49 and More Physical Switch Game Deals
A game cartridge of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch is still down to $49 for Nintendo’s Customer Appreciation Sale. With this game package, you are essentially getting two for the price of one. Both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 received rave reviews when they first launched on the Wii. These updated versions add UI improvements, a new in-game music player, and the ability to play using buttons and sticks or motion controls. There’s also a boosted resolution that goes up to 4K on Switch 2 with a free update, while Rosalina’s in-game storybook has some interesting new pages.
That’s not the only physical Switch game deal worth grabbing. Below are a few more top options to consider adding to your collection:
Disney and Star Wars Bookcessories Already Discounted
A new Disney Bookcessories collection from Insight Edition just launched and is already discounted on Amazon. Part tiny book and part matching themed key chain case, these adorable little accessories are designed to go with you anywhere. The books measure just 1.34” x 1.73” but still feature images, quotes, and more, while the character book case is made of durable PVC and comes with a clip. Right now, you can pick up three Star Wars-themed and six Disney-themed bookcessories. Below are all the available options:
PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 OC 12GB GDDR7 GPU for $679
Walmart has a PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 OC 12GB GDDR7 GPU for $679. Admittedly, calling this a deal is a bit of a stretch since it’s well above MSRP, but it’s one of the best prices on a GeForce RTX 5070 in the current market. This midrange GPU offers solid performance gains over its predecessor, especially with the DLSS 4 support. It’s an excellent option for high-frame-rate 1440p and 1080p gaming. Read IGN’s full review to find out more. You can also pick up the PNY Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC 16GB GDDR7 for $999, which is the best deal I’ve found on that GPU in a while.
Get 7 Games for $15 with IGN Humble Bundle
IGN has its own Humble Bundle to celebrate our 30th anniversary, and it’s now live. For just $15, this collection includes a bunch of heavy hitters, from The Elder Scrolls Online – Elsweyr to Remnant II. You also get BlazBlue Entropy Effect, Ravenswatch, Subnautica, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales, and Sonic Adventure 2. That’s a total of seven games, and all are easily redeemable on Steam.
Save Almost $800 on a Lenovo Legion Go S – Ryzen Z1 Extreme (SteamOS)
The Lenovo Legion Go S unfortunately got a serious price hike a few months ago. However, you can pick up an Open Box – Excellent condition AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme and SteamOS model with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD for just $800. A new one is also available for $999.99, still over $500 off its current list price. This particular model is a top SteamOS handheld gaming PC, and IGN’s PC hardware expert Jackie Thomas even gave it an “Amazing” 9/10 rating in her review. With the Steam Deck seeing a massive price increase and limited availability, it’s an incredible alternative.
Pay Just $6 for Hogwarts Legacy on Switch
A digital version of Hogwarts Legacy for Switch is down to just $5.99 on Nintendo. Sure, it may struggle a bit on the Switch, but the open-world RPG plays exceptionally well on the Switch 2, especially if you buy the $10 upgrade pack after you own it. Scoring an “Amazing” 9/10 in IGN’s review, Travis Northup found that Hogwarts Legacy “captures all the excitement and wonder of the Wizarding World with its memorable new characters, challenging and nuanced combat, and a wonderfully executed Hogwarts student fantasy that kept me glued to my controller for dozens of hours.” For $6, there’s not much to lose.
You can also pick up digital Switch 2 versions of Final Fantasy games cheaply at Nintendo right now. Check them out below:
Get 26% Off a Silent Hill: Townfall Steam Code
The latest in the Silent Hill franchise, Townfall, is out this week, just in time for spooky season. If you’re looking to play it on PC, a Steam code from Fanatical is 25% off. IGN has already posted the review, giving it a “Great” 8/10 rating. Reviewer Tristan Ogilvie found: “Silent Hill: Townfall feels like Konami’s seminal survival horror series returning to what it does best. Its atmosphere is oppressively ominous, its central mystery is genuinely compelling to unravel and packed with themes that feel fresh, and its army of disfigured demons is exhilarating to both encounter and evade.
Xbox Wireless Controller + $50 Xbox Gift Card Bundle for $80
Score IGN’s top PC controller, the Xbox Wireless Controller, and a $50 Xbox Gift Card for just $79.99 on Newegg. That essentially makes the controller just $29.99. It’s the same controller that comes bundled with the XSX and features a familiar design, a responsive D-pad, a 3.5mm audio jack, a textured grip, and simple button mapping in the Xbox app. Expect a seamless wireless connection to the console or PC via Bluetooth, or a wired USB-C connection.
