Amazon Prime Day starts in about 6 and a half hours. Post any good deals you see upcoming, going on, or items you bought!


In other shopping news: Target had a massive pricing error last night which led to massive discounted items. Most are getting cancellations on their items, but some managed to get items picked up in store before cancellations.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Totally missed that Target thing. Some people saved literal thousands.

I bought a new knife, I'm never really interested in prime day deals here in the UK.
The only thing I saw is 50% off PS+ for 15 months which seems pretty good.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Discounts aren't that special for the most part imo. Picked up Kong and Fantastic Beasts 4k even though the price wasn't thaaaaattttt good.

Funny note: Didn't really like Kong that much when I saw it in the cinema but the 4k transfer is just mindblowing. Saw it a few weeks back when I borrowed it from a friend. UHD on OLED is the real deal. God damn...

I no longer have Prime, but I was always disappointed their Prime Day stuff. Maybe they surprise this year, but going on the past, I'm not confident.

 

[KevinKeene]

No Xbox One X offer :/

 

[Corrik]

I am interested if Monster Hunter World or Dark Souls Remastered go for decent prices.

 

[Spheyr]

I already got 20% off an open box, like new Note8 from a Warehouse deal for $544 this weekend, can't really justify spending much more as I just bought a suppressor and shelled out $600 in NFA stamps

 

[jolof96]

I think my only purchase will be discount on cat food

 

[Kagey K]

Looking forward to being let down when deals finally go live for me this afternoon.

Will keep my eye out though.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Are the deals ever good? I've been with amazon since 09 and I can't remember when Prime day started or If I have ever bough anything from their many "deals".

 

[manfestival]

This is like what black Friday was. The deals are only good for a select few things and the majority are meh

 

[Tesseract]

lemme know if you see some microphone deals, my pc mic is busted.

pubg demands the finest of voice chat technologies.

 

[DryvBy]

I'm assuming it will be on their Prime Day page. I keep up with this on the gaming side so I'll try and post good game deals here, or other nerd gear.

 

[mckmas8808]

Anything good?

 

[greyshark]

Hoping for good deals on the Switch.

 

[Corrik]

Besides those games, keeping an eye out for door blinds, a patio umbrella, and maybe some clothes. I wish Amazon sold decent hats.

 

[Corrik]

Holy crap I have never seem Amazon's front page down before.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Got the Criterion Del Toro trilogy for about $40 shipped. Not bad at all

Edit: Here's the link for blurays https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/A1W1OZ5J4E/?tag=neogaf0e-20

20% off is applied at checkout.

Orders are getting cancelled. Don't think you missed much.

 

[BANGS]

According to gamefaqs, prime day sucks for gaming...

someone on resetera got the switch for $110 so I disagree.

 

[TrainedRage]

Can I buy guns or firearm accessories on Amazon? Bullets etc?

Nice. That's cool, guess some lucked out. I woke up to a cancellation email, checked with friends and they all got the same. :\

[Sneetches]

Harry Potter 4K HDR 79.99 hell yes.

 

[BrettWeir]

Pretty lackluster imo.

It is 2 hours in, dude.

 

[Spheyr]

I grabbed a Logitech G920 for $199 that I had been wanting. Gonna Forza so fucking hard later this week.

 

[Corrik]

Really disappointed the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition doesn't have a sale. Probably going to get the 8 instead.

 

[Drake]

Meh, nothing I saw was that great. The 50 inch TV deal was ok, but I don't need a new TV. I did see they discounted their spy device though. No interest in that.

 

[BrettWeir]

Apparently I don't know how Prime Day works.....I thought everything went on sale the minute it went live haha. Oh well.

 

[Corrik]

Nah, they have time released lightning deals announced,, all prime day long sales on like amazon items and what not, and then they have unannounced lightning deals (which is what video games usually fall under).

 

[mckmas8808]

Any tablets on sale today?

 

[hivsteak]

That is what they want users to think and it works. Majority of the items purchased on prime day are not discounted.

I was looking at the Instant Pot last night, right before I went bed. They were selling at 40% discount from regular 99 bucks to 58 dollars.

I've been contemplating to get one for a couple of years, but also told myself that I bought a lot of stuff lately - my cc bill for this month is higher than my likings - so I convinced myself that I can cook things without the help of this so-called Instant Pot - knowing it's going to be on sale again someday. I told myself, Hey - you bought this mini RC car and how many times have I played with it, or how about that Sous Vide thing? how often do you use? etc.

Then I had a nightmare, dreaming about this pressure cooker discontinued or whatnot and I woke up shouting around 3am. The dream was so intense and I was so worked up for nothing - I just ended up purchasing that pressure cooker 3am in the morning and went back to bed, but I just couldn't sleep for another hour or so because of my previous nightmare.

The pressure (from work) literally must be cooking my brain.. Hopefully it's as good as what others are saying on the news and on Youtube, etc...

 

[norm9]

Not crossing the line to buy from Amazon during the strike. Didn't really have anything I absolutely needed lately so I'm saving money by not buying anything.

 

[JORMBO]

I bought a big box of Dentastix for my dogs for $6. That’s about as exciting as it gets for me.

 

[Panda1]

I signed up to prime and have destroyed my credit card.
Almost bought a switch as well but how is it more expensive than Xbox and ps4?

Nintendo rarely price drops or has sales

 

[Corrik]

Bought a Fire HD 8 Kids edition and a 23andme Ancestry + Health report so far. = /

Lesson learned for next year Thanks!

Sucks to be ignorant. Oh well. Lesson learned for next year!

I got a bunch of Chemical Guys car detailing stuff on a pretty good discount. Also picked up a Philips Hue/Echo Dot bundle for relatively cheap. Coupled with my Prime Rewards cash back and the $10 credit I got for spending $10 at Whole Foods, I think it was a decent haul. Overall, though, not a ton of great deals. Was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to pulling the trigger on an Instant Pot for $60, but slept on it and decided I didn't really need it.

I think I got the Instant Pot for like $48 or something like 2 years ago. My girl was so ecstatic about it. She used it once maybe.
