Nintendo Switch Deals
Official Nintendo Switch Pro Wireless Controller for $49.99 (Originally $70)
The Pro Controller normally sells for $69.99 and is rarely ever discounted below $60. Besides the Joy-Cons, this is the only licensed Switch controller that supports motion controls, HD rumble, and built-in amiibo functionality.
Nintendo Switch With Neon Joy-Cons for $254.99 (Originally $299.99)
You must create a (free) account and login to take advantage of this “Power Deal”. A straight up discount on the Nintendo Switch is pretty rare, so grab this while you can. The vendor selling this item “Nationwide Distributer” has over 140,000 feedback on eBay.
DON’T Preorder Pokemon Sword and Shield Double Pack! (Preorder Pokemon Sword and Shield SEPARATELY and Get $20 Amazon Credit)
Amazon Prime members, the Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield Double Pack is available for $119.99 on Amazon, but I am telling you right now that if you want both editions, buy them separately. Buying them separately will get you a bonus $10 in Amazon credit for EACH game. The Double Pack, however, offers you no Amazon credit at all.
Amazon preorders are great: you won’t be charged until after the game ships, you can cancel anytime with no penalty, and if the price drops even more before the game comes out, your invoice will be automatically adjusted.
- Preorder Pokemon Sword on Amazon for $59.99
- Preorder Pokemon Shield on Amazon for $59.99
- Preorder Pokemon Double Pack (not recommended) for $119.99
SanDisk Ultra 128GB Micro SDXC Card (Switch Memory) for $19.99
After plunking down $300 on a Nintendo Switch, you might find it hard to spend more money on accessories. Unfortunately, the Switch only comes with 32GB of onboard storage, which is inadequate if you hope to build out any kind of digital library. Fortunately, you can increase your storage capacity 5-fold for only $20. For most people, a 128GB card is all you’ll ever need to hold every single one of your games.
PS4 Deals
E3 2019 Playstation Days of Play Starts Now
The Playstation Days of Play 2019 sale has commenced. We’ve listed very single deal that’s gone live, and we’ll continue to add more deals.
PlayStation 4 1TB Slim Days of Play Limited Edition Steel Black for $299.99
This limited edition Playstation console will be discontinued on June 17. The package includes a sophisticated looking 1TB Playstation 4 Slim console in Steel Black and a matching DualShock controller.
PlayStation 4 Pro 1TB Gaming Console for $349.99 (Originally $400)
The PS4 Pro is a more powerful version of the PS4 and PS4 Slim. If you want to run games in 4K with HDR enabled, this is the console to get. It’s very rarely discounted but today it’s $50 off.
12-Month PlayStation Plus Subscription for $39.99 or Less (Originally $59.99)
PS Plus membership discounts only happen a few times a year so grab this deal when you can. Perks include online play, free games every month, and exclusive discounts at the PlayStation Store.
PlayStation Dualshock 4 Wireless Controllers for $39.99 Each (Originally $60)
This is easily one of the most popular deals during the Days of Play event. Save 33% off and you get to choose from a multitude of colors and styles. This controller is also compatible with a PC via Micro USB or Bluetooth.
6% off PSN Credit (Extra 6% Off Days of Play Deals at the PlayStation Store)
The PSN credit can be redeemed for all of the Days of Play deals going at the PlayStation Store. You’d be getting an extra 6% off on top of the already big instant discounts. This is a digital delivery item that’s sent to your inbox, so you’ll have plenty of time to spend it before Days of Play ends.
PlayStation Classic Retro Gaming Console for $29.99 (Originally $99.99)
You can score a PlayStation Classic console for a mere $29.99 during the Days of Play event. The system includes 20 pre-loaded games including Final Fantasy VII, Revelations: Persona, Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, and much more. Some people may have turned their noses up to the original $100 price tag, but at 70% off who’s complaining?
PlayStation VR Trover Saves the Universe and Five Nights at Freddy’s Bundle for $249 (Originally $299)
This is a new release for the Days of Play event and the least expensive PSVR bundle you can get right now.
PlayStation VR Borderlands 2 & Beat Saber Bundle for $299.99 (Originally $350)
This is the PSVR bundle I would recommend because it includes the camera the controllers, and the Beat Saber game. Beat Saber is far and away the funnest, most addictive VR game you can buy. It’s enjoyable, incredibly intuitive, and a very healthy alternative to your normal gaming fare.
Days Gone for $39.99 (Originally $59.99)
God of War for $19.99 (Originally $40)
Marvel’s Spider-Man for $19.99 (Originally $40)

Xbox One Deals
E3 2019 Xbox Unlocked Sale Starts Now
Not to be outdone, Xbox has also kicked off it’s E3 sale with hundreds and hundreds of games on sale along with a smattering of console deals. We’ve made a dedicated article that covers every single deal we’ve found.
Xbox One S 1TB Fortnite Battle Royale Gradient Purple Special Edition Console Bundle for $249 (Originally $299.99)
The “Royale” Purple looks quite slick if I say so myself. Walmart is offering $50 off the MSRP. This is the model with a built-in 4K Blu-ray player, not the newer “digital” edition. Amazon has finally price matched Walmart.
Xbox One X 1TB PUBG or NBA 2K19 Bundle for $339.99 (Originally $500)
Take $160 (40%) off the Xbox One X console with your choice of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or NBA 2K19 included. This is a much better price than the official $100 discount that will happen during Xbox’s E3 event.
Xbox One X:
- Xbox One X PUBG Bundle for $339.99
- Xbox One X NBA 2K19 Bundle for $339.99
- Xbox One X PUBG Bundle with 2nd Controller for $369.99
Alternatively take $100 (33%) off Xbox One S consoles. These models have a built-in 4K Blu-ray player and are better and cheaper than the new “digital” Xbox One S console.
Xbox One S with 4K Blu-ray Player:
- Xbox One S 1TB PUBG Bundle for $199.99
- Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creator’s Bundle for $199.99
- Xbox One S 1TB Battlefield V Bundle for $199.99
1 Month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Subscription (Game Pass + Live Gold) for $1
1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate gives you both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. This is the perfect deal to take advantage of right now, since there are several titles during the Xbox Unlocked Sale that are discounted even further for Xbox Live Gold members only.
Xbox One Wireless Controller in White or Black for $39.99 (Originally $59.99)
Take 33% off a brand new official Microsoft Xbox One controller. Besides being the obvious controller of choice for the Xbox console, the official controller is still inarguably my favorite PC game pad.
NBA 2K19 for Xbox One for $2.99
Yes, it’s true, this game is only $3 if you buy it through the Microsoft Store. We gave it a “Great” 8.5/10 here at IGN.
Fallout 76 with Culturefly Fallout 76 Collectible Box for $17.99 (Originally $39.99)
Movie Deals
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for $14.99 (Originally $46)
Into the Spider-Verse looks incredible in 4K. This movie won the Oscar for best animated film of 2018 and it wholeheartedly deserves it. This movie is amazing and I enjoyed it even more than Spider-Man: Homecoming. It makes great use of a diverse array of art styles and it’s a very novel twist on the traditional Spider-Man story. Don’t miss out.
Rick and Morty Season 1-3 on Blu-ray for $34.99 (Originally $69.99)
There’s a lot to love here, and most of it’s not appropriate to post in Daily Deals. Great price for a collection of every Rick and Morty episode so far.

Elgato Stream Deck Mini for $69.99 (Originally $99.99)
Save 30% off the regular price of $100. This is a great controller for streaming, but it’s not just limited to that. I’m not a streamer and I find plenty of uses for the Stream Deck since it can be programmed to do just about anything in any app on your computer.
