There were, however, a pretty decent selection of discounted Nintendo Switch OLED bundles, including ones that came with the choice of either Pokemon Legends: Arceus or Metroid Dread for only £309 - essentially offering the game for free. As expected, first party Switch games were not heavily discounted, and only had a couple of quid knocked off on the second day. SD card deals were probably one of the biggest highlights of Prime Day. You could get a 512GB Micro SD card for £33 in the UK, and a 1TB micro SD for $110 in the US. PS5 DualSense controllers and official PS5 accessories had a good amount of money off, similar to their Days of Play prices. Those after PC hardware, monitors and PC gaming accessories could also land some good bargains, with lots of steep discounts on SSDs, gaming headsets, mice and keyboards. One of the best SSD deals was the WD Black SN850 1TB SSD with heatsink, which sinked to its lowest price ever and was available for only £104/ $114. Logitech gaming mice, keyboards and headsets were also going pretty cheap, including the G Pro mouse for £55, the G915 keyboard for £110, and the G432 gaming headset for £26. Digital Foundry’s top-recommended PC monitor, the LG UltraGear 27GL83A was the cheapest it’s ever been, dropping from £350 to just £280. Amazingly, it’s actually now even cheaper for just £250. We hope you were able to make the most of this year’s Prime Day sales, and if not, well… we still have Black Friday sales to look forward to in November. In the meanwhile, you should follow our Jelly Deals Twitter page, where you’ll find all kinds of deals on games, tech and any other cool things with a decent discount.

Read reviews carefully
It’s no secret that some reviews on online products are not always genuine. The ones that are sometimes shown at the top of a “review” section can be carefully curated by the company or seller in question. They can even write their own reviews! If you’re looking into making a purchase, make sure to read through more reviews than just the top ones as they can sometimes be biased.
Shop around
Yes, Prime Day can be a fantastic chance to get your hands on great deals, there’s no argument there. However, it’s still worth looking around at other places to ensure you are getting the best price possible. To compete with Prime Day, other retailers such as Currys and John Lewis in the UK, or Best Buy and Walmart in the US will often post competing deals too - you could save yourself a few extra quid just by looking around a little bit more before purchasing.
