Walmart has dropped the price on official Xbox Series X|S wireless controllers to $39 with free shipping. Two different color options are available: Carbon Black and Robot White. Not only is this the best controller to get for the Xbox at a reasonable price, it’s also one of the best PC gaming controllers as well.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (4K UHD) for $49.99
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy, Extended & Theatrical (4K Ultra HD)
Save 23% off The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K Ultra HD, which includes both Extended and Theatrical Editions across nine discs.

If you’re shopping for a huge amount of local storage, this is one of the best deals available right now.

The Seagate Expansion houses a single 24TB disk drive so it’s no bigger than any other desktop hard drive. It features a USB 3.0 interface with roughly up to 100MB/s transfer speed, which is in line with what you’d expect from a traditional hard drive. It also includes recovery software.
AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator for $22.99
AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator and Portable Air Compressor
You should always keep a tire inflator in your car for emergencies, but you don’t need to pay a premium price for a fancy one. Right now Amazon has this AstroAI cordless tire inflator for $22.99. We’ve seen it for a bit less before, but this is still a great price for a cordless tire inflator. It features a 4,000mAh power bank, enough to fill up all four tires to the proper PSI at least a few times over and has a USB Type-C input for easy charging. You can also use it to charge your phone in a pinch.

This is the best price we’ve seen for Google’s current gen smartphone. When it comes to Android, the Google Pixel line has some of the best phones on the market. The Pixel 9 series that was released just last year has one of the greatest cameras on any smartphone and AI features that are really quite fun to play around with.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Interactive Illustrated Edition
There is a new interactive edition of the Goblet of Fire arriving in October that you can preorder right now at bost Amazon and Best Buy.

This illustrated edition features 150 full-color illustrations and elements similar to a pop-up book. The new book is illustrated by Karl James Mountford and the papercraft designs were made by Jess Tice-Gilbert. This is a different group of creatives that worked on this book after the previous interactive illustrated editions from MinaLima were discontinued after The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Arzopa is offering an excellent deal on a pair of Arzopa portable monitors. The Arzopa S1 is a 15″ 1080p monitor with both USB Type-C and mini HDMI ports that pairs well with a Nintendo Switch.

50% Off Mirabox Portable Nintendo Switch Dock Charger
Mirabox 36W Nintendo Switch Dock Charger
Sometimes bringing along the official Switch dock is a good idea if you know that there will be a TV to hook it up to, but unfortunately the dock is a little bulky and you’ll still need to bring along a wall charger. Instead, you might want to check out the Mirabox Portable 36W Nintendo Switch Dock Charger, which is currently only $19.99 after a 50% off coupon code “50LPZWW1”. This little gadget charges your Nintendo Switch (at its maximum charging rate) and has an HDMI port to connect your Switch to a TV. It has all the functionality of your dock in a more compact footprint.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PS5) for $19.99
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora
Amazon has dropped the price of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora to just $19.99, the same price we saw during Black Friday. IGN reviewer Tristan Ogilvie gave the game a 7/10 in his review, stating: “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora features a stunning alien world to explore with a refreshingly uncluttered approach to navigation, countless enemy bases to destroy and Na’vi clan sidequests to complete, and no shortage of exotic flora and fauna to harvest and hunt.
Unicorn Overlord for $29.99
Unicorn Overlord
Amazon dropped the price of Unicorn Overload across all three console platforms. You can pick it up your choice of the PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch edition for only $29.99. Unicorn Overlord is an outstanding fantasy tactical strategy game from Atlus and Vanillaware. If you like games such as Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, you’re in for a real treat. IGN rated Unicorn Overload an “Amazing” 9/10.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400
Alienware Aurora R16 Intel Core Ultra 7 265F RTX 5080 Gaming PC
Starting today, Dell is offering an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC equipped with the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is one of the best prices you can get right now for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt, especially since most other brands seem to be jacking up prices steadily since the RTX 50 series launch in January. The only other prebuilt you can get at Dell with an RTX 5080 GPU costs over $4,000. Good luck trying to find a standalone GPU to build out your own DIY PC; you’ll probably spend as much for the GPU as you would this entire system.
Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PS5 SSD for $129.99
Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe Gen 4×4 M.2 SSD
Samsung’s newest SSD – the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive – is on sale today for $129.99, which is actually lower than what I saw during Black Friday. This is an excellent drive for both your gaming PC and your PlayStation 5 console, with speeds of up to 7,250 read and 6,300MB/s write. This is a much faster drive than the 990 Evo non-Pro but not quite as fast as the 990 Pro. The main difference between this drive and the more expensive 990 Pro is that this is a DRAM-less drive. Because it is a single-sided SSD, it is power efficient and doesn’t generate much heat, so you probably don’t need to stick a heatsink on it, although you certainly could for peace of mind.
