Go all-digital and get three games with this Prime Day Xbox One deal

Microsoft recently released a new version of its Xbox One S system dubbed the “Xbox One S All-Digital Edition,” which removes the disc drive for a purely download-based gaming experience. It offers a cheaper and less-cluttered way to enjoy your games, and if you want to save even more on the console, there is a Prime Day deal with your name on it available now.

As part of the 48-hour Amazon Prime Day event, you can currently purchase the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition with a Phantom White controller and three games — Forza Horizon 4, Minecraft, and Sea of Thieves — for just $199. The system on its own typically costs more than this, and it only comes with one controller. With two, you’ll be able to start playing local multiplayer games together with your friends, and the 1TB of hard drive space means you’ll have plenty of room to download the latest titles.

You could do a lot worse than the included games, too. Forza Horizon 4 is the newest of the three, taking the open-world racing series to England for another round of insanity. The game includes all four seasons, which change the map and either open up or close off certain areas, and there are plenty of flashy hyper-cars to drive at 90 down those country lanes.

Sea of Thieves offers one of the most unique experiences on Xbox One, putting you in command of a pirate ship as you complete quests, find treasure, and battle against monsters. If another group of players finds you, they can fire at your ship, and this makes for some of the most exciting gaming moments we’ve experienced this generation.

Minecraft, of course, needs little introduction. With cross-platform play enabled on the majority of devices, you can play with your friends on platforms like Nintendo Switch and PC. Isn’t it about time you learned what all the fuss is about?

If you want to get more Xbox One gear, check out our Xbox Prime Day page. We also have pages set up for Nintendo Switch and PS4, if you want to buy games or accessories for one of those systems, as well.

Prime Day deal gets you a 256GB microSD for Nintendo Switch for $23
sandisk 256gb memory card for nintendo switch deal best buy summer sale 2020 microsd

Nintendo Switch owners who are looking for something to buy from this year's Prime Day deals should think about getting the SanDisk microSDXC card that's officially licensed for the console, as you can never have too much storage for your games, DLCs, and screenshots. The 256GB version is on sale from Amazon with a $30 discount that more than halves its price to just $23 from $53, but you need to act fast if you want to take advantage of the offer because we're not sure if stocks will still be available as the end of the shopping holiday draws nearer.

Why you should buy the 256GB SanDisk microSDXC card for Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite have 32GB of internal storage, and the Nintendo Switch OLED doubled that to 64GB -- for most gamers, these are not enough. If you're planning to download games and their DLCs, as well as take lots of screenshots, you'll need the extra space that the SanDisk microSDXC card will provide. The 256GB of extra space will be enough to install several of the best Nintendo Switch games, and the large capacity will be handy because popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will take up 13.4GB and 16.3GB, respectively.

Why you should buy the 49-inch LG UltraGear curved monitor
The 49-inch LG UltraGear curved monitor features Dual QHD resolution for sharp details and lifelike colors, and it's also an ultrawide monitor with a 32:9 aspect ratio that combines with the curved screen for a truly immersive experience for video games like single-player adventures and racing titles, according to our computer monitor buying guide. The 1000R curvature also combines with the height, tilt and swivel adjustments that you can make to the monitor to let you place it at the most comfortable angle while you play.
