ThrustMaster T248 Racing Wheel and Pedals + Gran Turismo 7 Launch Edition Bundle
If you were going to pick up a nice racing wheel set for the newly released Gran Turismo 7 game, you might as well get a bit of a discount by getting both at the same time. Pick up the Thrustmaster T248 racing wheel and pedal set ($400 MSRP) and you essentially get a free copy of Gran Turismo 7. The ThrustMaster T248 is one the best racing wheel and pedal sets under $500 you can get for the PS5. Notable features include a revamped sturdy pedal board, leather-wrapped steering wheel with 25 action buttons and a small status display, magnetic paddle shifters, and dynamic force feedback.
Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Console with Game
This is a convenient bundle for those who want the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing themed gaming console, the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game, and the official Animal Crossing Aloha Edition carrying case. This themed Switch console is, in my opinion, the best looking of the Switch consoles (or at least, the most cohesive). In addition to the exclusive pastel blue and green Joy-Con controllers, both the Switch dock and the rear of the Switch chassis features cute Animal Crossing designs.
65″ Hisense U6G 4K Quantum Series ULED TV
with Bonus $100 Food Card
The Hisense U6G is a 2021 model that offers excellent image quality for its price. This TV supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+, which is pretty uncommon for a 65″ TV under $600. The QLED panel boasts full-array LED backlighting with 60 local dimming zones. It also has a very high peak brightness of 600nits, which is even good enough to handle glare.
To make the deal even sweeter, Amazon is including a $100 gift card of your choice from the following merchants: Papa John’s, Instacart, Uber Eats, Domino’s, Grub Hub or Door Dash.
Sony X90J 65″ 4K XR Full Array LED TV with HDMI 2.1
This is an outstanding TV option for gamers. The Sony X90J is a higher-end TV that makes HDR content look pretty amazing thanks to its full-array LED backlighting with local area dimming, great contrast levels, and high peak HDR brightness. PS5 and Xbox gamers will be more than satisfied with the HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 4K @ 120Hz, variable refresh rate, and fast response time. At this price it’s nearly $400 off on Amazon.
TCL Alto 8+ Dolby Atmos 3.1.2ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer
The TCL Alto 8+ (TS813) is a 40″ soundbar that boasts eight separate drivers with Dolby Atmos support and a dedicated center channel for clear dialogue. The separate wireless subwoofer pumps out stronger and cleaner bass than any internal sub can offer. It’s Roku ready out of the box, features bluetooth for wireless streaming, and has HDMI passthrough with supports 4K and Dolby Vision passthrough over HDMI.
WD Elements 18TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive
If you need every bit of storage space, the biggest hard drives offer the best bang for your buck. In this case, Amazon is offering a WD Elements 18TB hard drive for $297.99, or a 16TB model for $269.99. That averages out to about $16.50 per terabyte. If you need as much space as possible to back up your data, you can’t get any cheaper than this without compromising on reliability.
ABS Intel Core i5 RTX 3060 Gaming PC for $999.99
This is a Newegg Shell Shocker deal, meaning it will expire at the end of the day. Nowhere else will you currently find an RTX 3060 equipped gaming PC for under $1K. The RTX 3060 is no slouch; its performance is superior to the RTX 2060 SUPER and almost matches the RTX 2070 SUPER in some games. It will easily handle all of your games at up to 1440p. It’s paired with an 11th gen Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD.
Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED Gaming Monitor
The first QD-OLED panel on the market
After much anticipation, Dell is now offering the Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED gaming monitor for $1299.99 on its website. Although by no means inexpensive, this is the first ever QD-OLED monitor we’ve seen and thus the price point is surprisingly reasonable for the new tech. Undoubtedly due to the hype, it has been going in and out of stock throughout the day, so don’t hesitate if you’ve been waiting for this release. The estimated delivery date has already been extended all the way out to June 1.
Samsung 980 Pro PCIe x4 NVME M.2 SSD
PS5 Compatible
Samsung EVO SSDs are well known for their performance, reliability, and compatibility, and the 980 PRO is the best M.2 SSD they offer. It is fully PS5 compatible and you can even opt for a pre-attached heatsink so that it’s ready for you to install out of the box. The 1TB models have been on sale for a few weeks, but the 2TB model has just been marked down today.
Nintendo Switch OLED In & Out of Stock
The newest Nintendo Switch OLED model has been incredibly difficult to find throughout the holiday season. It’s back today on Amazon for a very limited time. This Switch features a larger, more vibrant OLED touchscreen display, an upgrade to the terrible OG kickstand, an ethernet port on the docking station, and of course new Joy-Con colors.
Gigabyte G5 15″ RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop
This Gigabyte G5 gaming laptop features an Intel Core i5 processor and RTX 3050 Ti video card for a mere $599 after rebate. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for an RTX 3050 Ti gaming laptop by at least $100. The deal does involve a $200 mail-in rebate that you’ll have to remember to submit.
17% Off Dell XPS Alder Lake RTX 30XX Gaming PC
Compared to the previous generation, the new Dell XPS gaming PC is larger in volume (27L vs 19L) and provides more clearance for the CPU and GPU area for much better airflow. That’s important because the new 12th generation Alder Lake processors can run hot under intense loads. The Alder Lake CPU is currently the king of gaming processors; it eclipses all similarly priced AMD processors in gaming and (in most cases) workstation performance. Additionally, the new Dell XPS boasts an Intel Z960 chipset motherboard, DDR5 RAM, and a PCI-E 5.0 bus for your RTX 30 series video card. Your video cards in these two configs are no slouches either: the RTX 3070 is the ultimate card for gaming at 1440p at 144fps or higher, and the RTX 3080 Ti is pretty much the best 4K/VR gaming card out there.
Note that these two deals are from Dell Small Business. Fret not, everyone can purchase from the Dell Small Business website. All you have to do is use guest checkout.
Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3070 PC for $1499.99
This is the first time we’ve seen an Alienware Aurora gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3070 priced at under $1500. The RTX 3070 is even more powerful than the previous generation’s fastest video card, the RTX 2080 Ti. This is the card to get if you want to push 144Hz frame rates or ultra high settings (or both) at up to 1440p. It’s powerful enough to handle most 4K gaming as well. It’s paired with some great specs, like a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD.
Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3080 PC for $2199.99
The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation’s best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 are the only cards that are (very slightly) more powerful, but they cost hundreds of dollars more. The RTX 3080 is paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900 CPU, which is one of the best processors you can get at the moment, whether it be for gaming or for workstation purposes. It’s been upgraded with liquid cooling as well. The rig is ready to go out of the box with 16GB of DD4-3200MHz RAM and a generously sized 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD. Don’t worry, even the power supply is up to snuff with an ample 1000W rating.

RTX 30 Series Video Card Bundles at Newegg

Pick up an RTX 3060, RTX 3070, or RTX 3080 video card bundled with a motherboard, SSD, RAM, computer case, or PSU.
