Daily Deals: Preorder the Nintendo Switch OLED Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Console, 400GB Switch Memory Card for $29, AirPods Pro for $195
Today’s daily deals include a brand new themed Nintendo Switch OLED up for preorder (the biggest one yet), $50 off a PS5 console, a 2TB SSD to go along with that for a mere $112.50, a 65″ TLC 4K QLED Roku TV for only $398, a pair of Apple AirPods Pro for $195, and more.
Preorder the Nintendo Switch OLED The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition Right Now
It’s finally up for preorder. Amazon and Best Buy have opened up preorders for the Nintendo Switch OLED Tears of the Kingdom Edition for $359.99. There’s a queue right now to get it, but orders are going through. We don’t know how long this will last, but it’s certainly very popular. This Edition includes custom themed Joy-Cons, dock, and Switch case. Note that the actual game isn’t included.
SanDisk Ultra 400GB Switch Memory Card for $28.99, 512GB for $39.99
Amazon is offering a SanDisk Ultra 400GB Micro SDXC card for only $28.99. Alternatively, you can get a 512GB model for only $39.99. That’s cheaper than the best deals we saw on the same cards during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. If you’ve started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch’s base storage capacity. With only 32GB of starting space (and some of it reserved for the OS), you’ll barely fit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield, which tap out at 13.5GB each! There’s only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.
Nintendo Switch OLED Splatoon Edition on Amazon
The Zelda Switch OLED might be the star of the show but let’s not forget that the Splatoon themed Nintendo Switch OLED exists. The Splatoon Edition includes a sweet pair of blue and yellow gradient Joy-Con controllers (white underbelly) and a graffiti adorned Switch body and docking station. Of course personal preferences differ, but in my opinion this Switch looks just as good as the new Zelda console.
2nd Gen Apple AirPods Pro for $194.99
Verizon just dropped the price of the 2nd gen Apple AirPods Pro truly wireless noise cancelling earbuds back down to $194.99. This is $5 cheaper than what we saw during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding “truly wireless” earbuds you’ll find, especially at this price point. The AirPods Pro is also the only AirPods earbuds with active noise cancelling technology.
65″ LG Evo C2 4K OLED Gaming TV for $1499.99
Better than Black Friday’s deal
If you get a PS5, make sure you have an appropriate gaming TV to bring out the console’s full potential. Woot is offering a brand new LG Evo C2 65″ 4K OLED TV with full manufacturer’s warranty for $1499.99. That’s cheaper than Amazon’s best price during Black Friday. The LG C2 is one of the best TVs on the market, especially for current gen console gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There’s also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV’s version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model. Woot is owned by Amazon.
$50 Off PS5 God of War Bundle
Amazon is offering a PS5 Disc Edition console bundled with the God of War: Ragnarok game for only $509.99. That’s $50 off the $559.99 MSRP and only $10 more than buying the console without any game! This is the first ever discount we’ve ever seen for the PS5 console from Amazon. We’re not sure how long this deal will last, but we do know that this is a manufacturer’s discount and not a permanent price drop. If you’ve been waiting for a price drop before jumping on the bandwagon, this will be the best deal you’ll find for a while.
Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PS5 SSD for PS5 for $122.99
Crucial’s newest M.2 SSD meets all the requirements for your PS5 SSD upgrade. It supports transfer speeds of up to 6,660MB/s which is well above the 5,500MB/s minimum threshold. Yes there are faster SSDs out there, but if your intention is to put this in your PS5, then that extra speed is worthless because you’re bottlenecked by the original PS5 SSD. If you’re worried about opening up your PS5 case, don’t worry it’s very easy. Crucial has an official YouTube PS5 SSD install guide to see you through the process.
Alienware Aurora Intel Core i9-13900K RTX 4090 Gaming PC for $3599
with Cryo-Tech Liquid Cooling
The R15 is Alienware’s latest and top of the line gaming PC, equipped with a 13th gen Intel Core i9 Raptor Lake processor and an overpowered GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. The 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900K boasts a turbo-boosted clock speed of 5.8GHz with 24 cores, 32 threads, and 64MB cache. This is one of the most powerful CPU you can get right now, it’s only competition being the far more expensive AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The RTX 4090 is far and away the most powerful video card you can get right now, leaving competitors like AMD’s latest Radeon RX 7900 XTX in the dust.
This config has been upgraded with Cryo-Tech liquid cooling for the processor, which is essentially a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler compared to the air cooling on the Intel config. The “Cryo-Tech” liquid cooler improves cooling even further by upgrading the AIO with a slightly thicker radiator, RGB lighting, and better fans.
Alienware Aurora R14 RTX 3080 PC for $1499.99
This config is equipped with a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 3080 is the best card you can get if you’re looking for a GPU that’s powerful enough to run games at 4K @ 60fps at the lowest price. I myself currently run an RTX 3080 equipped system paired with a 4K display and I can run Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, and Hogwarts Legacy just fine at a steady 60fps. Of course, an RTX 4080 or 4090 would allow you to turn on ray tracing while maintaing the same fps, but honestly, is that worth an extra $800-$1800? The liquid cooled Ryzen 7 5800X is a generation old, but it’s still an excellent gaming and workstation processor that pairs very well with the RTX 3080. Other features include an 80PLUS Platinum 750W power supply and a clear side panel to show off your interior components.
HP ENVY RTX 3070 Gaming PC for $1229.99
Here’s a pretty nice deal on an excellent gaming PC for around $1200. This HP ENVY PC features a 12th gen Intel Core i9-12900 16-core Alder Lake CPU, GeForce RTX 3070 GPU, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. The Intel Core i9-12900 is one of the best CPUs available… you’d need to get an Intel Raptor Lake or AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU to get anything as good or better. The RTX 3070 is a very solid video card for this price level; it will easily get you 60fps+ at up to 1440p gaming.
Mario Day Deal: Buy a Nintendo Switch Console with Mario Red Controllers, Get Free Game of Your Choice
Mario Day is officially here! All the Switch video games might have gone on sale earlier, but the Switch console bundle exclusive to Mario Day just went live. Not only do you get the Nintendo Switch console with the rare Mario Red Joy-Con controllers, you also get to choose one game among these three: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, or Super Mario Bros U Deluxe. This is a more tempting deal than what we saw on Black Friday, which was a Switch with Neon controllers and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the same price.

These deals are definitely worth your attention.
Adata Premium 2TB PS5 SSD for $112.50
Sold Out
This is easily the lowest price we’ve seen so far for a 1TB PS5-compatible SSD. The Adata Premium SSD boasts transfer speeds of up to 6,100MB/s, which is more than fast enough to surpass the PS5’s recommended minimum speed threshold of 5,500MB/s. It includes a thin aluminum heatspreader that will work fine with the PS5 console, but you can easily get a beefier heatsink (we recommend this one for $10) if you’re concerned about the heat.
TCL 5-Series 65″ 4K QLED Roku TV for $398
Sold Out
Walmart has the TCL 5-Series 65″ 4K QLED Roku TV for only $398. This is one of the best values you can get for a TV alongside the Hisense U6H. This 2020 TV boasts a quantum dot display (QLED) with a full-array LED backlit panel with local area dimming and wide color gamut. Although this TV doesn’t have a 120Hz panel, it is still a good choice for a gaming TV because it has very low input lag and ALLM.
