Persona 3 Reload for Switch 2 Hits New Low
Persona 3 Reload for Nintendo Switch 2 has dropped to its lowest price yet on Amazon and Best Buy. At launch, frame rate issues plagued the game, but ATLUS seems to have fixed them, so you can enjoy this classic RPG adventure in all its glory on your Switch 2. In IGN’s Persona 3 Reload review, Michael Higham gave the game an “Amazing” 9/10 rating and found: “With a stellar visual overhaul and countless small but impactful changes, Persona 3 Reload tells a timeless story of tragedy and hope with sharp emotional sincerity.”
$20 Off the Nitro Deck 2 for Switch 2
The CRKD Nitro Deck 2 has received its first discount, a solid $20 off. If you, like many users, find the Joy-Con and now the Joy-Con 2 controllers uncomfortable, this is the solution. Unlike the original, the Nitro Deck 2 works with the Switch 2, the original Switch, and the Switch OLED consoles in handheld mode. You can also collapse the controls to play in docked mode. The controller itself features full-sized thumbsticks that won’t suffer from drift and have adjustable tension. Four back buttons, two extra shoulder buttons, and fully remappable controls round out this awesome Joy-Con 2 alternative.

Get the Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration ETB for $59.99
Amazon has invite requests open to purchase the Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box for just $59.99. That’s well below the market value, which is sitting around twice that amount. If you still want the ETB and don’t want to pay a fortune, you might as well try your luck. Even if you’re selected, you don’t have to buy. So, you’ve got nothing to lose. Be sure to check your email, and you’ll have 72 hours to purchase if selected.

The COMHOMA Big and Tall Gaming Chair is down to just $129.99 with free shipping, thanks to the coupon code “A3XY0YEY”. If you’ve never heard of the brand, it’s from the same parent company as GTPLAYER. From a wide seat base and tall back to the 400-pound capacity, it’s a great big and tall gaming chair for those on a budget. Its wingback design, built-in lumbar support, integrated footrest, and 150° recline ensure extra comfort whether you’re working, gaming, or just relaxing.
Magic: The Gathering’s Reality Fracture Bundle Hits New Low Price
Magic: The Gathering’s Reality Fracture Bundle has dropped to its lowest price yet on Amazon. For just $48.49, you’ll get 9 Play Boosters, which is great if you don’t want to commit to a whole Play Booster Box. A promo card, full-art lands, a Spindown life counter, card storage box, and reference cards round out the bundle. Reality Fracture is a cool set with twists on iconic characters and cards as Jace Beleren reshapes the multiverse.
$50 Off the ASUS ZenScreen 16″ Portable USB Monitor
For extra screen real estate when using a laptop or even Switch, pick up the ASUS ZenScreen 15.6″ USB Portable Monitor (MB16AHV) while it’s $50 off on Amazon. ASUS is one of the best USB monitor brands out there, and it even includes a 3-year warranty. Its 15.6″ IPS display features a 1080p resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, wide viewing angles, and an anti-glare coating. For connectivity, it offers two USB Type-C ports and one mini HDMI port.

Save 50% on the New 2026 75″ TCL QM8L SQD 4K TV
The 75″ TCL QM8L 4K TV is available for $1,499.99, thanks to a 50% discount. Amazon Prime cardholders can also get an additional 10% cashback, up from the usual 5%. This TV features Super Quantum Dot tech, a more refined version of QLED, for a brighter, higher-contrast image with richer colors. A new Halo Control System eliminates haloing, and for gaming, the 144Hz native refresh rate and four HDMI 2.1 ports make it ideal for current-gen consoles.
Extra $40 Off Refurbished PS5 Console + Additional DualSense Controller
The PlayStation Store has an additional $40 discount when you purchase a Certified Refurbished PlayStation 5 Console and a Recertified DualSense Wireless Controller. The total comes to $568 for the Disc Edition and $518 with the Digital Edition. Admittedly, this isn’t incredible savings, but with GTA VI coming out next month and hardware prices continuing to rise, it’s one of the best deals going. You’re essentially getting $723 worth of hardware (or $673).
Speaking of PlayStation, the Lisa x PlayStation ‘Press Play’ collab has dropped on Amazon. Check it out below:
Pokémon Pokopia Gets First Price Drop
The Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, Pokémon Pokopia, is down to $62.99 on Amazon. This discount isn’t huge, but it’s the lowest price I’ve seen for the unbelievably popular simulation game that launched in February. The deal is only on digital copies. However, physical copies are only Game-Key Cards, so you’re not missing out on much.
As for the actual game, it’s fun and perfectly nostalgic. You play as a lovable Ditto Pokémon that transforms into the shape of its missing former trainer and rebuilds the Kanto region while uncovering mysteries along the way. In her 9/10 Pokémon Pokopia review, Rebekah Valentine said, “Pokémon Pokopia is a real treat: an enjoyable building and town simulator that capitalizes on the charming personalities of its monsters in a way that appeals to both the creative and collector alike.”
Alan 2 Deluxe Edition for PS5 Is Under $30
IGN’s top horror game of 2023, Alan Wake 2, is down to 29.83 for the Deluxe Edition PlayStation 5 disc. In addition to the base game, the Deluxe Edition includes two expansions, Night Springs and the Lake House, plus cosmetics and items for both protagonists. It even comes with a digital copy of Alan Wake Remastered. You’re really getting a lot with this package.
As for the game itself, in IGN’s Alan Wake 2 review, Tristan Ogilvie found it, “delivers one of the boldest and most brain-bending survival-horror storylines this side of Silent Hill 2, presents it with uniformly immaculate art direction and audio design, and reinvigorates the series’ signature light-based shooting.” It’s sure to get you in the Halloween mood.

Get Marathon and 7 Other Sci-Fi PC Games for $25
Humble’s Sci-Fi Exposure Bundle is one of the best bundles I’ve seen in a while. For just $25, you get eight games, and for the first time, Marathon is bundled. The first-person shooter earned a 9/10 in IGN’s review, and it is “worth every ounce of hell it puts you through.” The bundle also includes Xenonauts 2, three remastered Crysis games, RoboCop: Rogue City, and the two Ghostrunner games. All come as a game key to redeem on Steam.
Barbarian 4K UHD Hits New Low Price
Pick up the 4K UHD Blu-ray of Barbarian at its lowest price yet at Amazon and Walmart. It should arrive before Halloween, too. Directed by Zac Cregger, who more recently directed Weapons and the new Resident Evil, this creepy horror film may keep you from booking a home rental for a little bit. Commentary, deleted scenes, and more extras come with this 4K Blu-ray.
Save $40 on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller
You can still pick up an Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Controller for $40 off at select retailers. That’s the biggest discount it’s received in a long time. This pro-level Xbox and PC controller has high-end features, like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, handy hair trigger locks, button mapping, and more. The component pack that comes with the non-Core Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller isn’t included with the Core model but can be purchased separately. Otherwise, the two controllers are identical. For more, read IGN’s Elite Series 2 review.
$50 Off a 512GB Samsung MicroSD Express Card for Switch 2
IGN’s top budget microSD Express card for Switch 2 just dropped $50 to $99.99 on Amazon. With storage prices continuing to rise, this is one of the best deals going, unless you opt for Walmart’s Onn microSD Express cards. However, Samsung’s cards offer better longevity and deliver faster sequential read and write times, according to IGN’s testing. It’s the perfect option for your Switch 2, and you’ll likely need it. Many games are Game-Key Cards of Code-in-Box, meaning they’ll eat up that 256GB on the console fast.
$350 Off Acer Nitro 65 RX 9060 XT (16GB) Gaming PC
Want a gaming PC that’ll cruise through 1440p gaming at a budget price? Grab the Acer Nitro 65 while it’s $350 off at Best Buy. It’s rocking an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM, ready to run just about any game smoothly at 60fps+ up to 1440p. That GPU is paired with an air-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 8700F 8-core, 16-thread processor. 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD round out the PC.
Save on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for Switch 2 and PS5 and More Square Enix Games
A Game-Key Card for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2 is down to just $34.99 at Best Buy and Amazon. At Best Buy, it’s the Day One Edition, and it includes a Magic: The Gathering Zack Fair promo card. As for the game, this remake of the classic action RPG earned an “Amazing” 9/10 rating in IGN’s review. Michael Higham added that it’s “full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.”
Beyond Switch 2, you can also pick up the PS5 version for $19.99. Other Square Enix games are also discounted at both retailers, including The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. Check out more deal highlights below:
