Prime Day is here again, and while it’s not quite as exciting as Black Friday (guess that depends on who you ask), there are still plenty of deals worth checking out.

The official Prime Big Deal Days shopping ~extravaganza~ (cue RuPaul’s voice) doesn’t start until October 8, but Amazon’s been throwing pre-Prime Day discounts our way since last week, including deals on headphones and speakers, soundbars, and, of course, gaming consoles and video games.

Here are the best early Prime Day gaming deals we’ve spotted so far:

Best handheld console deal

Our pick: Nintendo Switch Lite (Gray)

$179.99
at Amazon

$199.99
Save $20.00



Why we like it

The Nintendo Switch Lite (Gray) is $179.99 at Amazon right now. It might go down in price during Prime Day, but its record-low is $196.80, and that was back in February 2022, so this deal (even at just $20 off) is still worth considering. If you want to save even more, you can buy a renewed model for $168.79.

The Nintendo Switch Lite is a portable version of the original Nintendo Switch. You can play classic games like Super Mario Bros and Zelda on the go, and purchase and download other Switch games straight to the console.

If you prefer gaming on a TV, the Nintendo Switch is $282.99, down from $299.99. That’s not a massive discount, but it’s a decent price for a new Nintendo Switch.

Best gaming headset deal


Logitech G PRO X (Gen 1)

Our pick: Logitech G PRO X (Gen 1)

$149.39
at Amazon

$229.99
Save $80.60



Why we like it

The Logitech G PRO X (Gen 1) is wireless, can last up to 20 hours on a single charge, and features DTS Headphone: X 2.0 7.1 surround sound with object-based surround sound so you can hear your enemies coming from any direction.

The soft foam memory earpads are comfortable enough to wear for long gaming sessions, and the detachable 6 mm PRO microphone with Blue VO!CE filters make it easier to communicate with your team or trash-talk opponents.

Best gaming laptop

Why we like it

If PC gaming is your thing, the 15.6-inch Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop (Core i5-10300H, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD) is 16% off and selling for $690 — a pretty good deal for a laptop that can handle gaming on top of basic tasks.

It has a 15.6-inch screen, a backlit keyboard with Acer CoolBoost technology, a 10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. With a 144Hz refresh display and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Graphics, it should be able to run most modern PC games at decent settings, making it a solid option for casual to mid-level PC gaming.
