Sure, Prime Day is here, but in its efforts to combat Amazon’s deals, HP is offering a gaming PC deal that’s better than you’ll find on any rival store.
HP is quietly clearing out its Omen RTX 4090 PCs, and at this price, it’s at least worth a look

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics cards are getting Prime Day price cuts, and yes, I mean the 16GB version
The RTX 5060 Ti is easily one of the standout GPUs from Nvidia’s troubled Blackwell generation. Stick with the 16GB edition (rather than the afterthought 8GB) and it’ll comfortably handle high quality settings on 1080p and 1440p, helped along by DLSS 4 and, if you fancy it, Multi Frame Generation. It also accounted for many of the better-priced RTX 50 graphics cards at launch, and as part of Amazon Prime Day, we’re finally starting to see some further cost cutting – including to one model at Amazon UK that’s dropped below £400.
I’ve found some great Steam Deck power banks that are discounted in the Amazon Prime Day sales

There’s nothing worse than getting halfway through a boss fight only to watch your battery warning blink on screen. That’s where these Amazon Prime Day power bank deals come in. I’ve rounded up the best ones for the Steam Deck and similar handhelds, and they all bring serious wattage, smart features, and enough capacity to keep you gaming through flights, commutes, or couch marathons. Make sure you’ve grabbed the 30-day free Amazon Prime trial to access these discounts too. Let’s get into it:
My favorite microSD cards for Steam Deck have been heavily discounted in the Amazon Prime Day sales

Need more room for your game library? These Steam Deck-ready microSD card Amazon Prime Day 2025 deals bring serious speed, capacity, and reliability without wrecking your wallet. From our favorite Micro SD card for Steam Deck Samsung Sonic editions to rugged all-rounders from Lexar, SanDisk, and Gigastone, each card here is a beast. Don’t forget about grabbing that 30 day free Amazon Prime trial to make sure you’re getting the best discounts and fastest delivery.
WD’s Prime Day deals include their two fastest gaming SSDs, at up to $110 off
Yet more of our best SSDs list is turning up in the Amazon Prime Day sales, and these are some bigguns: the WD Black SN850X, for my money the best NVMe drive around, and the WD Black 8100, a newer model that’s just parked its svelte metal bum on the throne of PCIe 5.0 SSDs. It’s still worth weighing them up against the Samsung SSD deals from earlier, as some of the drives are a tiny bit cheaper for an equivalent capacity, but past testing in the RPS labs (my desk) has proven both these WD Blacks as superlative all-rounders.
Peak modders are delivering peak modding: here’s one that fills your game with the skeletons of dead players
If you’ve been enjoying Peak, but reckon its towering mountains aren’t filling you with enough existential dread, there’s a mod you need to check out. It’s called Everest, and it fills your game with other players’ dead bodies.
Well, skeletons to be exact, and possibly over 10,000 of them by the sounds of it. That’s more bones that you’ll find at Crufts, and it looks to turn the co-op climbing game from Another Crab’s Treasure devs Aggro Crab and Content Warning devs Landfall into the sort of morbid fun you can usually only have by chucking a frisbee around the garden of a crematorium. No, I haven’t done that last bit. Yet.
The 4K, 144Hz gaming monitor I use is £135 off for Prime Day – and $200 off in the US with no Amazon required
What was that I was saying earlier about dealsposting PC hardware we’ve previously bought? Because I am currently using the LG UltraGear 27GR93U to highlight some savings on the LG UltraGear 27GR93U, a very affordable yet very tidy 4K gaming monitor that I bought for myself back in March. Still for a fair bit more, annoyingly, than you can now get it during Amazon Prime Day.
With Need for Speed devs working on Battlefield, EA’s beloved car culture site Speedhunters seems to have shut off its engine
If you’ve played a Need For Speed game in the last decade, odds are you’ve seen plenty of cars with Speedhunters stickers slapped somewhere amid whatever delightfully tacky livery their driver’s decided to rock. Now, though, it looks like the EA-owned car culture site has gone dormant, with reports claiming it might have been shut down.
This news comes as development of NFS at EA is on a hiatus, with devs at Criterion having been drafted in to help deliver the next Battlefield, though exec Vince Zampella has hinted that there are still plans for the racing series going forwards.
The SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds, gaming earbuds done properly, are 26% off for Prime Day
If RPS is going to wave around Amazon Prime Day recommendations, they might as well be for hardware we’d actually use, and ideally for kit that at least one of us owns ourselves. So it is with the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds, true wireless earbuds that have supplanted my Sennheisers as my pocketable sound providers of choice – and are currently 26% off at both Amazons UK and US.
Two of Samsung’s best gaming SSDs are on sale for Prime Day, and also it’s Prime Day I guess
Presumably because it’s so expensive to push Leonardo DiCaprio around in a rented gondola, this year’s Amazon Prime Day has brushed away its final lingering shreds of respect for the singular word “Day,” and in fact runs from this morning – July 8th – all the way to July 11th. At this current rate of expansion, it will therefore be just seven short years before the entire solar calendar is engulfed, with even hours being replaced as a unit of measurement by the duration of Lightning Deals. “Want to get an Amazon Fresh Refrigerated Beverage after our deals writing shift, Dave?” “Yeah sure, I clock off in three Lightning Deals’ time.”
My small act of civil resistance against this temporally disrespectful future is to uh, have unknowingly booked three of the four days off before Amazon announced the dates. But while I’m here, I’m still on cog-in-machine duty, which is why I’m now informing you that a couple of (actually good) Samsung NVMe SSDs are going cheap. They are. I’m sorry.
