Best Buy Sale

Prime Day just wrapped, and Best Buy has stepped in immediately to keep the discount momentum going. The retailer's 4th of July sale is live right now, and there are some genuinely strong prices here, including a few that match or beat what Amazon was offering just days ago.

Here's the lowdown: the sale runs until Sunday, July 6, but stock on the headline items could dry up faster than that given how much inventory moved during Prime Day. If something catches your eye, waiting is a gamble.

What's actually on sale and why it matters

The range spans pretty much every platform. PS5 games start at $9.99, Nintendo Switch 2 titles are discounted, Xbox limited edition controllers are $20 off, gaming laptops are up to $500 off, and gaming monitors have up to $600 in savings. That's a wide net, and most of these categories have at least one deal that holds up against what Prime Day was offering.

The Nintendo Switch 2 angle is particularly relevant right now. Octopath Traveler 0 is down to $34.99 from $49.99, a 30% cut on one of the newer Switch 2 exclusives. The Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle is also available at $499.99, which bundles the console with a game of your choice and is one of the better ways to get into the hardware right now. If you've picked one up and are still getting your bearings, the Metroid Prime 4 Beyond beginner's guide is worth bookmarking.

The standout peripheral deals

The peripheral side of this sale is where things get interesting. Three items stand out.

First, the Corsair Galleon 100 SD has taken its first ever price cut, dropping to $299.99 from $349.99. This is a full-sized mechanical keyboard with a fully integrated Stream Deck built in, 12 programmable buttons, a four-panel screen, and two control dials. It's been sitting at full price since launch, so seeing any discount at all is notable.

Second, the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless is holding its Prime Day record-low price of $249.99, down from $379.99. That's a 34% cut on a headset that spent years at the top of best-of lists. The hot-swappable battery system and dedicated DAC hub are features that competing headsets at this price still haven't matched.

Third, the Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is at $149.99, down $20 from its $169.99 MSRP. It's a modest cut percentage-wise, but this mouse held full price for nearly a year before Prime Day finally cracked it. If you've been holding out, this is the window.

tip
The Corsair Galleon 100 SD discount is the first time the keyboard has dropped below its $349.99 MSRP since launch, making this a genuine first-of-its-kind opportunity rather than a recycled sale price.

Games getting meaningful discounts

On the software side, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is 50% off at $19.99 on PS5, which is a serious price for a remake that launched at $39.99 and has held value well. Resident Evil Requiem is at $55.99, down from $69.99, which is the first notable discount on Capcom's latest entry in the series.

For PS5 players jumping into new titles, it's worth checking out the Borderlands 4 PS5 and Xbox settings guide to get the most out of your hardware if you're picking that one up. And if the Switch 2 is your platform of choice, FF7 Rebirth just landed on the console, and the FF7 Rebirth Switch 2 graphics vs performance breakdown covers exactly what you need to know about the trade-offs.

The laptop and monitor side

For PC players, the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16S AI with an RTX 5070 Ti is $300 off at $1,899.99. That's a 16-inch OLED panel running at 240Hz with an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor and 32GB of RAM. At $2,199.99 full price it was steep; at $1,899.99 it sits in a more competitive position against other RTX 5070 Ti laptops.

Gaming monitors have up to $600 in savings, and Samsung SSDs come with free $150 gift cards, which is effectively a rebate worth factoring in if storage is on your list.

Loading table...

The sale closes Sunday, July 6. Given the overlap with post-Prime Day shopping traffic, the high-profile items, particularly the Corsair keyboard and the Arctis Nova Pro, are the ones most likely to sell out before the official end date. Keep your controllers ready and check availability early in the week rather than waiting for the weekend.
