I'm not going to post everything, but Far Cry 6 is $13 and there's lightning deals throughout the two days.
Prime Gaming has a lot of great free games available right now as well including Mass Effect Legendary and Need for Speed Heat among others

2TB WD Black SN850 is currently $180.49.
Saw that. Not buying a PS5 SSD just yet but yeah that is a good price for a 2TB
All I got so far (and all I really anticipate buying) that's actually a prime day deal is a 1TB Micro SD for my Steam Deck. 256 is going to fill up fast. Figured this was a pretty good price. I know buying multiple 512GB cards is cheaper per GB, but I really don't feel like managing multiple cards. Want to set it and forget it.
Also bought an ITX 4bay hot swap case for a DIY NAS I'm slowly piecing together but that wasn't on sale other then the generic 5$ off coupon showing on the page for that, so that was $70
Had a 20$ credit from doing the prime photo thing a few weeks ago, so my total was around 170 even for the two items after tax.
FYI For all if you do the "pay in multiple payments" with Affirm for an order over $100 during checkout you'll get a $25 amazon credit as well. You do have to apply like you're applying for an actual loan (and that is what they call it) but it only does a soft credit check. My credit is good and all that jazz, but I did check to make sure it wasn't a hard credit check just for a $25 coupon.

Damn... I just upgraded both of my PS5s with that last week. Would have saved over $100 by waiting a bit longer.

Good deal for those yet to play it (especially for a Sony first party game).
I got it used on FleaBay for 25 or so MONTHS ago. Just getting around playing it now.
Just a tip. Its ebay, YMMV always

I want to buy a velvet couch during the sales of Prime day or Target but I am having trouble because I want to sit on them before I buy which obviously isn't possible. I can go to a furniture store and see if they have the same couches and try them out that way I suppose. Need a very comfy couch for my video games.

Didn't see any games I wanted. Just snagged the Hisense U8G for $550, HDMI 2.1 with VRR and 1,500 nits of brightness makes it a really solid deal!
Hisense has become really solid with their TV quality. Love mine (WITH a soundbar, mind). Good decision.

A third party Sony refurbished site (Secondipity) (Looks like they come maybe directly from Sony?) had the 65" A80J with 3 year accidental warranty for $1,100 OTD. TV alone MSRP (new) was $2,500. So I feel like I got an great deal on an new current OLED.

Going off topic but their reseller reviews seems terrible https://www.reseller...ore/Secondipity https://www.facebook...dipity/reviews/ It can be a hit or miss scenario with refurbished TVs. I would pay with paypal, if your buying something from secondipity. Also others on forums, reddit, have mentioned how bad they are at issuing refunds.
The delivery companies they use aren't great so if you have to return it you'll most likely be making lots of phone calls and having a TV just sitting in your house or garage for 1-2 weeks while they figure it out. And then you have to call them for them to issue you a refund, they will receive your item and sit on it indefinitely unless you are proactive about getting your money back.

Picked up a 15' HDMI 2.1 cable for $16 for a PS5 I got recently. Not a big discount, but as I didn't have a long enough 2.1 cable before, I haven't been able use HDR or 120Hz on my PS5 yet.
Did the buy $50 Amazon gc, get $12.50 back deal. Traded in an old Kindle Fire 7 5th gen (that had not been used in ages) to get 20% off a Fire tablet (plus $10 credit for the old tablet). Put all that towards a Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus. Total with tax was $50.44 out of pocket. It's nice that the 20% off is calculated on the original price of the 10 Plus ($180) rather than the sale price ($105), so that old Fire 7 ended up being worth $46 ($36 from 20%, $10 from tablet tiv). My dad did the same deal as well.

Any opinions on this montitor?
I pretty much just play Flight Sim for gaming, but do a lot of streaming services on my PC instead of my TV as I usually have a game going on it. I may connect my Series S to it at times.

There's a mislabel at some point on that listing, as it is either IPS or VA panel - not both. It's probably VA at 165hz.
Anyway I think it's okay if that very specifically is what you need. Personally I've seen 3440x1440 VA panels in the 250-300 range that I'd recommend as I really enjoy my ultrawide.

This is a pretty good PC gaming monitor if you have a suitably strong GPU to back it up, but I wouldn't use it for consoles. The only thing I'd point out is that HDR is gonna be bad since the peak brightness is only 450.

Not my usual type of game, but reviews are so overwhelmingly good that I’ll give it a try at this price.

Does anyone know if you have to use the bounce back credits in full? I got a 10 credit for buying an Uber gc. I want to buy something for $7 but don’t want to lose the other $3.
Probably have to spend the full amount. If you buy something else it divided it up between the two items or at least that happened when I purchased some stuff.
