The best Prime Day deals on games, hardware, and accessories

Amazon Prime Day is the perfect time to score incredible deals on games to fill your backlog, as well as essential accessories like controllers, headsets, and storage expansion for your next-gen console. Combing through thousands of deals to find the ones actually worth your time is tedious, though, which is why we've done the heavy lifting and collected the best ones here. A ton of great games are on sale, including Star Wars Outlaws, which is currently on sale for $41 off at Amazon for both the Xbox Series X / S and PlayStation 5. Nintendo hardly ever discounts its first-party games, so we're pleased to see Splatoon 3 going for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy and Walmart. You can also pick up Pikmin 4 — an underrated gem of the last console generation — for $39.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy. Hardware discounts are exceedingly rare these days, but if you're looking to upgrade from a previous-gen console or have been tempted by a gaming PC handheld, your patience has been rewarded. The Asus ROG Ally is $200 off at Best Buy with a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and 512GB of storage. If you're curious about virtual reality headsets, don't skip the $50 discount on the Meta Quest 3S at Amazon. Star Wars Outlaws is an original open-world adventure set in the vast universe of the iconic film series. It stars Kay Vess, a protagonist looking to steal from criminal overlords to gain her freedom. A new expansion featuring Lando Calrissian recently launched, alongside an update that improves stealth and some of the game's most glaring issues. Read our review.

It features TMR joysticks with trigger switches for adjusting the feel, as well as vibration and motion control support. PowerA's Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch comes in dozens of designs featuring iconic video game characters. It has a pair of remappable rear buttons, 3.5mm headphone jack, and includes a 10-foot long USB cable. The InZone H3 is the wired (3.5mm / USB-A) model in Sony's latest lineup of gaming headsets, which are compatible with both PlayStation and PC.

The BlackShark V2 Pro is a wireless gaming headset that's compatible with the Xbox Series S / X, PS5, PC, and the Nintendo Switch. It has a flexible, wideband mic, noise-isolating ear cups, and 70 hours of battery life. Its volume dial also lets you adjust the audio mix between your game and chat mid-game without needing to open an app. Seagate's Storage Expansion Card is as fast as the Xbox's internal storage, comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes, and fits into a proprietary slot without any cables.

aespa's Karina apologises again for red jacket blunder

8 Jul - aespa's Karina recently addressed the election outfit blunder that occurred two months ago, and again apologised for the mistake that she has made. The singer spoke about the controversy on an interview with Jung Jae-hyung on his YouTube show, saying that she felt sorry for causing fans to worry about her. "I was with the staff [from the agency] and we posted the pictures wearing the jacket because it was cold outside and I wanted to communicate with the fans. We deleted the post after I got a call about it. I realised that I had been ignorant," she said. It is noted that Karina received a backlash back in May after she broke the unwritten "no colour or hand gestures" rule for K-Pop idols during the election seasons by wearing a black jacket with red patterns and the number two on the right side of her chest. She also captioned it with a red rose emoji. The backlash was quick, with many accusing her of showing support for the conservative candidate Kim Moon-soo, who is represented by the colour red and the number 2 on the ballot. "It was something that I should have paid attention to. I thought I really need to be more aware and study more. I really was ignorant," she said. Karina said that at the same time, she felt very guilty because the rest of aespa were also affected by the controversy. (Photo Source: Karina IG, Korea Times)

The Entire Run of ‘Squid Game' Is Currently Dominating Netflix Ratings

Squid Game's three seasons in order of fan preference? Season one was easily the best. Season two brought mixed results. And season three is nobody's favorite. But that doesn't mean people aren't still binging as if 45.6 billion won depended on it. The streamer's latest ratings chart has Squid Game season three in the top slot; no surprise there. But the other seasons have climbed back up the global top 10 of non-English shows, with 2024's season two at number two and 2021's season one at number three. You can assume some folks wanted to watch or re-watch the first two seasons ahead of the latest (and final, at least we think it's the final) installment. That makes sense, especially since two and three are a continuous story that was divided across two seasons. Maybe, after watching season three and feeling some disappointment, fans also wanted to revisit season one and remember the thrills of that first gruesome round of 'Red Light, Green Light.' And, reviews be damned, but according to a Netflix press release, Squid Game season three, the show's shortest entry at just over six total hours, 'is now Netflix's third-biggest show ever through two weeks, with 106.3 million global views.' In the week of June 30-July 6, season two notched 4.9 million views; season one had 3.8 million views. Squid Game can add another jewel to its crown with this achievement, as it's now 'the third show ever to claim the top 3 spots in a single week, after Stranger Things and Money Heist, and the first since 2022.' What does this mean for Squid Game's future? It bodes well for that American version that David Fincher is working on, which apparently has no known connection to that Hollywood cameo at the end of season three. Might this success give Netflix leverage to ask original series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk to step back in the ring for another round, as the streamer apparently did after season one? If the latter happens, here's hoping nothing gets rushed into production. Like it or hate it, that season three ending did tie up the major storylines for the (very few) surviving characters—and literally blow up the island where the games were being played—so starting from scratch would be necessary, unless Hwang decides to tell a story that spins off or is set between the existing seasons, as he's hinted he might be open to doing.
