Best Buy Has the Best Xbox Series X Deal for Prime Day

The Xbox Series X is the premier Xbox console on the market right now. With 4K resolution, 120fps support, and instant loading thanks to a speedy SSD, every game is a joy to play on Xbox Series X. Alongside the numerous features for home entertainment, the Series X can easily be the perfect home console for any gamer. It’s a major upgrade over the Xbox Series S, which is only capable of 1440p output on select titles.

Now’s as good a chance as any to pick up a new Xbox with Amazon Prime Day running through Wednesday night and other retailers with their own competing sales. As part of Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale, you can save $50 off a new Xbox Series X console. Not only that, but you will also get a free $50 Best Buy gift card with your purchase, which you can use to score a new game or controller.

Xbox Series X + $50 Best Buy Gift Card for $449

Immediately upon purchase, the gift card will be emailed to you alongside your receipt. Since Best Buy’s sale is open to everyone, you won’t need to be a My Best Buy member to score this gift card.

The Xbox Series X is a great console overall for any game you’d like to play. With Game Pass Ultimate – grab a three-month subscription for 43% off for Prime Day – you can even stream games over the cloud and pick up where you left off, even if you’re not home.

What We Said In Our Review

Xbox Series X is an excellent console that offers the most power available in the console space currently. In our review, we said the following about the Series X: “No matter what current games you throw at it, your loading times will be drastically cut, your framerates will be smoother, and your resolutions will be higher. This bold and minimalistically designed box is quiet, compact for both the power it packs and especially how it compares to the PS5, capable, and loaded with convenience features like instantly resuming and cycling between any of your recently played games.”

Is It Worth Buying At This Price?

If you are currently a Game Pass subscriber or plan to subscribe to the service, Xbox Series X is a great choice. You’ll get hundreds of games instantly to play through, with the best performance available in the Xbox ecosystem. Plus, with the 4K Disc drive, you can play any 4K Blu-rays with ease.

However, if you’re in no rush to purchase a new console, you’ll likely find far better deals later in the year for Black Friday, especially as Xbox plans to release three new console variants. It’s likely that the current Xbox Series X will be discounted alongside these releases to push more Xbox consoles into the market.

The Terminator 6-Film Blu-Ray Collection Is Under $25 for Prime Day

For Prime Day, Amazon is discounting a six-movie collection of the Terminator series: an epic, sci-fi saga that details a grim future for humans. When our aspirations get bigger than our morality, humankind creates a machine that decides humans should no longer exist. How do we battle this? By going back in time to make sure it never happens at all.

44% off Terminator 6-Film Collection [Blu-Ray]

Terminator has been a staple in the Sci-Fi genre since its explosion on the big screen in 1984 as a Sci-Fi horror, all the way through to its most recent additions. Though there are only 6 feature-length Terminator films, there was also the hit TV series The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and a brand new Netflix anime series coming out this year to catch up on. Check out our reviews of the 6 films below:

Where to Stream Online

Below you will find links to stream almost all 6 Terminator movies online. For the moment, 5 of the Terminator movies are available to stream on various platforms online. Some of those streaming platforms are fuboTV, Peacock TV, Prime Video, Paramount+, Max, MGM+, Roku, Tubi, and TBS. 5 of the Terminator movies (excluding Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) are also available to rent or buy on Amazon or YouTube.

Best Order to Watch in

Since there is an element of time travel included in the canon of the Terminator movie series, the events can become a bit muddled; that’s why watching them in order of release date is probably fine to do with this series. For more detailed information on how to watch the Terminator movies in order, check out our article.

  1. The Terminator (1984)
  2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
  3. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
  4. Terminator Salvation (2009)
  5. Terminator Genisys (2015)
  6. Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

Walmart Still Has the Best Nintendo Switch Lite Prime Day Deal, Not Amazon

During Prime Day 2024, the best Switch Lite deal isn’t on Amazon. Walmart is offering the Nintendo Switch Lite (Timmy’s and Tommy’s Aloha Edition) console for only $159. It normally retails for $199, which was already a great deal because it included the full Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. This special edition Switch Lite was originally part of Walmart’s larger sale that competed with Amazon Prime Day. That sale has now ended, but this deal is one of few that are still available, and we’re pretty certain Amazon won’t match it.

Nintendo Switch Lite with Animal Crossing for $159

The Switch Lite retails for $100 less than the original Switch and $150 less than the Switch OLED. It is compatible with most Nintendo Switch games and it runs off the same hardware, so performance is identical. The three main tradeoffs of the Switch Lite is that (1) the controllers are not detachable, (2) the console can’t be docked and played on a TV and (3) the display is smaller (5.5″ vs 6.2″ on Switch and 7″ on Switch OLED).

If you were intending to use the Switch solely as a handheld console, you might be better off just getting the Switch Lite. Even though the controls aren’t detachable, the Switch Lite does support wireless Bluetooth, so you can always purchase another pair of Joy-Cons, a Switch Pro controller, or a compatible third party wireless Switch controller, and you can still play untethered.

If you enjoy cozy games like Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, or Minecraft, you’ll probably love Animal Crossing. It’s obvious that Nintendo put in a lot of love into this first party title and it’s certainly one of the best – and most relaxing – games for the Nintendo Switch. This is an excellent pick for gamers of all ages, even children. Check out our glowing IGN review for more details.

We Found the Best Xbox Deals for Prime Day 2024

Amazon’s major annual sale, Prime Day, is running right now. That means you can save a ton of cash on all sorts of items, ranging from furniture to Fritos. Among the deals are a whole lot of discounts on all things Xbox. We’re talking a great deal on a refurbished Xbox Series X, as well as great sales on controllers and games.

Xbox is in a somewhat weird spot lately. While Microsoft owns heavy-hitting game publishers like Bethesda and Activision (the maker of Call of Duty!) its hardware is trailing far behind both PS5 and Nintendo Switch (to say nothing of the Switch successor). But Microsoft isn’t resting on its laurels. It’s making big moves, like letting people play Xbox without an Xbox. And more and more of its attention seems to be on Xbox Game Pass going forward. Still, these deals are worth taking a look at.

Xbox Series X (Renewed) for $369.99

It’s not brand-new, but it’s close, and it costs way less than a new Xbox Series X typically does. Amazon has “renewed” Xbox consoles (refurbished, but in “excellent” condition) on sale for $369.99. That’s $130 less than they cost new. And despite Xbox Series X|S sales lagging behind PS5, I actually prefer my Series X over my PS5 for cross-platform games. Trust me, the “quick resume” feature is a game changer.

New Xbox Series X + $50 Best Buy Gift Card for $449.99

If you’d prefer a deal on a brand-new Xbox, Amazon has nothing for you – but Best Buy does. You can get a new Xbox Series X, plus a $50 Best Buy gift card, all for $50 less than the typical MSRP of the Xbox alone. That’s a pretty great deal – and you don’t even need a Prime membership to take advantage of it.

Free $7.50 Amazon Credit With 3 Months Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate just got a price hike – at least it did if you buy it directly from Microsoft. Thankfully Amazon hasn’t gotten the memo yet, and is still charging $49.99 for a three-month membership. But if you’re a Prime member, you can get a free $7.50 credit to your Amazon account if you buy during Prime Day. Just do it.

WD_Black 1TB C50 Expansion Card for $118

It’s no secret that modern AAA video games take up a whole lot of storage space. They take up so much that you’ve probably already reached the limit of your Xbox Series X|S’s onboard storage. Expanding that storage is easy, but it’s usually absurdly expensive, thanks to Microsoft’s proprietary format. This all-time low price is the best you’re likely to get anytime soon, so stock up. If you prefer the Seagate one, it’s on sale too, but for $5 more.

Xbox Controller for $44.99

Ready to add player two? Pick up a wireless Xbox controller, on sale for as low as $44.99. Various colors are also discounted, so pick your favorite and run with it. The Core Controller, which we consider the best Xbox controller, period, also works on PC, Mac, iOS devices, and more, so it’s quite versatile.

2TB Seagate Game Drive for $74.99

External hard drives aren’t quite as useful as the expansion cards above, but they’re way cheaper. This 2TB Seagate Game Drive was designed for Xbox, and it holds a boatload of games. The only drawback is that you can’t play games that are optimized for Series X|S from the drive. But you play non-optimized games (Xbox One games, for instance) from it, and you can download optimized games to it for storage and quick transfer to internal storage when you want to play them.

Xbox Game Deals

Frankly, there aren’t as many Prime Day Xbox game deals as I would have expected. The above games are all that appear to be on sale. If more discounts go live in the future, this is where we’ll put them. Owners of Xbox’s rival consoles can also check at our lists of the best Prime Day deals for PS5 games and Switch games.

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble 1.10 Patch Fixes Sonic’s Ball Among Other Updates

Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble update version 1.10 patch notes are here and come with a bundle of new content additions and fixes.

The Super Monkey Ball X/Twitter account shared the changes coming to the arcade platformer, detailing a host of tweaks that help keep the game’s post-launch support rolling. Most notably, there’s a new Race stage called Sky Highway as well as a few stability improvements across the experience. The Sega game also brings some love to Sonic, who has been given a stat boost “to better showcase his unique character traits.” The character’s ball now shows the correct blue color, too.

A few small adjustments have also been made to the terrain across the Race stages in Battle as well as the Acrobatics stage in Adventure. Players should also notice some control adjustments that should make moving your monkeys around a bit easier.

Sonic is one of a few Sonic cameo characters players can enjoy as DLC, with others, like Tails, Knuckles, and, Amy, set rollout in the future. Other Sega faces, like Jet Set Radio’s Beat and Crazy Taxi’s Axel, are also on the way. They can be purchased individually or together as a bundle as part of the Sega Bundle.

College Football 25’s ‘Lorem Ipsum’ Error Is Puzzling Fans

College Football 25’s Early Access period has been out for less than 24 hours, and we are already seeing high player turnout, server errors, and a puzzling error code confusing some players.

Several users on X/Twitter pointed out that when they tried to play Dynasty Mode, they were met with an error that provided two Dynasty Type options, both of which read Lorem Ipsum and an image of a cloud slashed through.

Those experiencing this error are unable to access Dynasty Mode. This fan-favorite game mode allows players to become head coaches or offensive/defensive coordinators and coach a football program. Dynasty returns to EA’s college football series alongside Road to Glory.

From the looks of it, “Lorem Ipsum” is basic placeholder text that was never replaced. EA Sports has not officially commented on why this error is present in College Football 25.

Regardless, the error code has made playing Dynasty mode impossible for some players. However, X/Twitter user @Tall6uy posted that one effective troubleshooting method would be for players to disconnect from the internet and start Dynasty mode offline, though as user @_BrooklynBear points out, they attempted to play Dynasty mode offline and received the same placeholder icons.

College Football 25 is out right now for those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition or the MVP Bundle. Those who purchased the Standard Edition have to wait until Friday, July 19, to play the game.

If you are one of the people waiting until Friday to play, check out which of the best offensive and defensive teams are available in the game and take a deep dive into Dynasty mode. For our initial thoughts on College Football 25 ahead of our review, check out our hands-on preview.
