Includes built-in heatsink!

The Silicon Power XS70 SSD is the least expensive PS5 SSD deal you'll find that already has a pre-installed heatsink. Heck, this is the cheapest PS5 SSD we've seen, ever. The beefy aluminum heatsink is still slim enough to fit in the PS5 without obstruction. It's also a fair bit faster than the Crucial P5 Plus, the original WD Black SN850, and the Samsung 980 Pro, although that won't make a difference in your PS5.

Amazon has its own branded 512GB Micro SDXC for only $34.30, making it the lowest price currently for a Micro SDXC card of that size. This card is 100% compatible for the Nintendo Switch console. If you've started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch's base storage capacity. The Switch and Switch OLED have 32GB and 64GB of internal storage respectively. Some of that is reserved for the OS. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom takes up over 18GB of storage all by itself. Other must-have titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield tap out at 13.5GB each. There's only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford.

If there's any one piece of exercise equipment you'd want to keep around in your house, free weights would be a very good investment. Free weights give you access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. They also don't take up as much space as other pieces of equipment, and that's even more true with these Bowflex dumbbells in particular. Each Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way to 52.5 pounds (or 105 pounds if you count both dumbbells).

Best Buy is offering a free $10 Best Buy gift card when you purchase a digital $100 Apple gift card. The gift card will be emailed to you shortly after you receive the Apple card. The Apple gift card can be used to redeem pretty much anything on Apple's site, including products, accessories, apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and more. Spend it on in-app content, books, subscriptions and even iCloud storage to secure files from all your Apple devices.

Among all the iPad models, the 10.2" iPad is the lowest priced. Even at MSRP, it's $170 cheaper than the iPad Mini, $270 cheaper than the iPad Air, and $470 cheaper than the iPad Pro. Despite its low price tag, this is a capable and fully featured tablet. The Apple A13 Bionic chip offers very good CPU and GPU performance and the large 10.2-inch Retina display is bright and crisp. It's a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service. iPad also features both a front-facing camera for voice chat, and rear camera for taking photos and videos.

Woot is offering the 2022 LG Evo C2 65" OLED TV for only $1394.99. That's cheaper than the best price we sawduring Black Friday. The LG C2 is one of the best TVs on the market, especially for current gen console gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There's also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV's version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model.

Refurb with 10 months of warranty

Walmart (via Beach Camera) currently has the 2022 65" Sony A80K 4K OLED TV for only $1099. This is a factory recondition TV that has been refurbished directly by Sony. What that means is that it comes with a 6-month Sony warranty. In addition, you get a 4-month 3rd party (CPS) warranty on top of that for a total of 10 months. Considering the fact that this bundle costs $1850 new, this is a pretty great deal. Beach Camera is a legit company and is an authorized Sony reseller.

The HDR1000 quantum dot (QLED) panel boasts up to 1000 nits of peak HDR brightness and 125% more color space than the sRGB standard (95% DCI-P3).

The 2nd gen Apple AirPods Pro truly wireless noise cancelling earbuds is back down to its lowest price again. Verizon currently has it for $199.99, a price drop of $50. The Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding "truly wireless" earbuds you'll find, especially at this price point. "Truly wireless" earbuds have no wires whatsoever, even to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods earbuds with active noise cancelling technology.

Factory Reconditioned

Woot has the factory reconditioned Apple iPhone 14 Plus 512GB smartphone for only $819.99. That's a pretty massive price drop from its $1199 retail price (for the 512GB model). If you've been shopping around for iPhones, you're probably well aware of the fact that it is extremely hard to find a discount on the newest generation iPhone without signing up for or extending a contract. This deal is the next best thing. Although it is factory recondition and only comes with a 90-day Woot warranty, Woot states that "These units are in PRISTINE condition. They have NO visible scratches or blemishes and appear practically brand new! They also come with a minimum battery health of 95% ."

It's back! Amazon has the 1TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles to $149.99, a pretty massive $70 price drop from its $220 MSRP. There's only 1TB of storage in the Xbox Series X and 512GB in the Xbox Series S console, and some of it is used for the OS. Unlike the PS5, you can't just install any third party SSD, even the ones that are fast enough. You'll specifically need this Seagate storage expansion card, which is essentially a 1TB NVNE SSD wrapped in a proprietary Xbox-compatible shell. Unlike the more complicated PS5 SSD installation, where you have to open up the PS5 in order to access the SSD slot, the Seagate expansion card simply plugs right into its own dedicated port on the back of the Xbox. It delivers the same speed as the internal SSD and thus you won't sacrifice performance or experience longer load times that you would have experienced with a regular USB drive.

Woot is offering the OnePlus 10 Pro 5G 128GB smartphone for only $449.99. That's a $150 price drop from its recently revised MSRP of $599.99 (it was originally $800 at launch). This is a still a very relevant phone, released just April of 2022. In fact, we named it one of the best Android phones of 2023. It has features you'd normally find in phones that cost $1000 or more. If you want a flagship level phone but don't want to spend a fortune, you'd be hard pressed to find a better equipped phone for under $500.

The ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld is finally up for preorder, and only at Best Buy. People are very excited about this device because it trumps the Steam Deck in many respects.

It has a higher resolution 1080p display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, a more powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and most importantly, a Windows 11 OS so that you can play pretty much any PC game, not just the ones that are available on Steam. It's even slightly smaller and lighter than the Steam Deck. Orders will ship out on June 13. Check out our very own IGN ASUS ROG Ally review.
