Here are some good gaming Prime Day deals

Tried and tested gear that won't break the bank.

It’s Prime Day, so you know what that means: every website ever is going to be throwing affiliate links down your throat. We’re no different — that’s what this post is for, of course, but we’re trying to approach it a little differently.

Below, you’ll find a host of gaming Prime Day deals that we not only think are good value, but represent products that are tried, tested and approved by us or a host of user reviews. That means you won’t be seeing TVs or monitors that are cheap; that’s usually because they’re not offering full 4K resolution, the option for 120Hz or combinations therein. We want to you to save, treat yo’self and future-proof yourself to some extent.

Without further adieu, here are some bargains we think are worth checking out:

Video games… like, actual video games

• Save between 33-79% off on select EA titles (Xbox, PlayStation)
• Save up to 43% off on select Nintendo Switch games or up to 35% off more Switch games here
• Save up to 41% off on select Xbox and PC games here

SSDs compatible with the PS5

While a host of SSDs are compatible with the PS5, the ones below already have heatsinks installed and will slot into your console without problem. I personally use the 1TB model below in my own PS5.

• WD_Black SN850 with heatsink (500GB): $111.05 AUD (49% off)
• WD_Black SN850 with heatsink (1TB): $173.47 AUD (51% off)
• WD_Black SN850 with heatsink (2TB): $469.00 AUD (35% off)

You can save a bit on SSDs without heatsinks, but you’ll obviously need to spend a little more to actually purchase a third-party heatsink. The drives below don’t have a heatsink but come recommended from users on Amazon:

• Crucial P5 Plus (1TB): $133.46 AUD (15% off)
• Crucial P5 Plus (2TB): $378.59 AUD (regularly $468.48 AUD)

While we’ve not tested PS5-compatible SSDs without heatsinks pre-installed, users on Amazon recommend this heatsink.

There’s likely a host of other deals to be had, so head to the comments below with your finds.

Prime Day runs over 12-13 July (though more like 13-14 July here in Australia). Don’t forget that Prime Gaming subscribers can grab a host of free games from this link.
