The Xbox Series X is in stock today at the Microsoft Store. So, if you've been waiting months for a new Xbox, now's your chance. And, Nintendo Switch gamers can look at a sale on a Switch Pro Controller and Pokemon Shining Pearl. Or, if PlayStation's more your thing, the yearly Days of Play sale has a ton of games, controllers, and more for you to check out. But the big story this weekend is Memorial Day sales. We've rounded up the best tech deals this Memorial Day, from sellers like Dell, Lenovo, and more. Generally, you won't find better prices on these categories until Black Friday.
The Xbox Series X is back in stock right now at the Microsoft Store, so if you've been waiting to splurge on a next-gen console, now is the time to jump in. You can buy the console itself, or you can bundle with 3 months of Xbox Game Pass to get quick access to the huge library of games on Microsoft's subscription service. With upcoming games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor moving to next-gen consoles only, it's only a matter of time until the PS4 and Xbox One are phased out.
On the PlayStation side, the annual Days of Play sale is underway now. You can save on PlayStation games like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection, and more. Plus, if you want to grab one of those snazzy new DualSense controller colors, you can pick whichever one you like for $59.99. And, if you still haven't played The Last of Us Part 2, it's on sale for just $10 today.
You can save $15 on a Nintendo Switch pro controller today to play upcoming games like Mario Strikers: Battle League, Fire Emblem: Three Hopes, and more. These controllers don't go on sale too often, so you'll want to snag this deal if you need to add another controller to your set.
A first-party Nintendo game for $29.99? Craziness! Not only that, Pokemon Shining Pearl only launched six months ago, making this a great deal. You can revisit the Sinnoh region from the original Pokemon Diamond and Pearl in a brand new art style.
You can save on the Monster Hunter series today over on Amazon. The sale includes Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Stories 2 each for $29.99. Now is the perfect time to jump into Monster Hunter Rise, as we're just one month away from the huge DLC expansion, Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. Or, if turn-based JRPGs are more your speed, Monster Hunter Stories 2 is a great game to try out.
If you want to look the best on all of your company Zoom calls, check out this 4K webcam from MEE audio. This camera comes equipped with a wide angle lens, a 4x digital zoom, and dual microphones to ensure your audio quality lives up to your video quality.
AKRacing is a well-known gaming chair brand, and this Core Series EX SE Fabric Gaming Chair is $100 off today, coming in a snazzy purple color. It has high-density cold-cured foam filling, which means the chair will keep its shape even after years of use. And it has customizable height and a 360 degree swivel for maximum comfort and customizability.
Everyone could use more storage, how about 18 terabytes worth? This USB hard drive has enough storage to practically last a lifetime, giving you enough space for all of the pictures, documents, projects, and whatever else you need to store. It's compatible with both PC and Mac, so no matter what you use, this hard drive will work for you.
Move over Black Friday. When it comes to Dell, the best deals don't come in November, but right here and right now in May. The Dell Memorial Day Sale has always offered the best deals you could find on Alienware gaming PCs and gaming laptops, and this year looks to be no different. Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 30 this year, but the best dales so far have actually already started. Some deals are available now with more deals becoming available each day up to Memorial Day proper.
Amazon doesn't push a Memorial Day sale as aggressively as other vendors, but that doesn't mean the Amazon Memorial Day sale isn't worth looking at. Not only does Amazon do an excellent job of price matching other merchants' discounts, they have several great deals that aren't specifically marketed as a Memorial Day special. For example, the Sony Days of Play event is also running now, and Amazon is offering some outstanding deals on PS5 controllers and games. There's also the new 42" LG C2 Evo OLED TV that was just released, and Amazon has it for the lowest price.
Walmart has its Memorial Day page live on its site. Walmart, like Amazon, tends to focus on non-tech deals as part of its Memorial Day Sale. Keep an eye out for a sprinkling of good TV deals. If you're into working out, expect to see some deals on fitness items as well.
Walmart has confirmed its latest PS5 stock drop will occur on June 2 as part of its post-Memorial Day sales and Walmart+ weekend. In case this is your first rodeo, only Walmart+ members will get access to new PS5 stock this time around.
If you haven't got a Walmart+ account just yet, it costs $98/ year or there is a $12.95/ month alternative. But, it's worth noting that you will not be able to access the PS5 drop via a free trial membership, so you'll need to have an active paid Walmart+ subscription to participate.
Lenovo doesn't host as many sales as some of the other PC vendors, but they still have some solid deals for Memorial Day. In particular, look for big markdowns on the Lenovo Legion gaming PC lineup, especially the newer models with Intel Alder Lake processors and RTX 30 series video cards. The Lenovo Legion gaming desktops are often very highly rated for their build quality. People generally like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in their rigs, so future upgradeability is much easier done here than in other prebuilt PCs. Lenovo gaming rigs also boast adequate cooling, especially for the CPU, even if you opt for the base models.
Not do be outdone by Dell or Lenovo, HP also has some solid deals on gaming PCs for Memorial Day. For 2022, HP has updated its gaming lineup with two new models. The HP Victus is a budget oriented gaming PC that offers RTX 30 series power at a fantastic price point, The HP OMEN 40L and 45L are updates over the previous generation's 25L and 30L. The new models have a larger chassis volume and twin (40L) or triple (45L) intake fans for better airflow. The 45L goes even further by placing a 360mm liquid cooling system externally above the case dubbed the "Cryo Chamber". That allows for cooling that rivals enthusiast DIY systems. Components wise, both the 40L and 45L are equipped with the newest Intel Alder Lake processor, Z690 motherboard and RTX 30 series video card.
The Best Buy Memorial day sale is going on right now, and some of the best discounts are on major appliances and some great PS5 games. If you're looking to save a few dollars on a home upgrade or a new game, check out the discounts below.
Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 30 although many Memorial Day sales have gone live now. You'll find all manners of tech deals on Memorial Day, but the best deals will be on gaming PCs and laptops, TVs, and toys like LEGOs and board games. Unfortunately it's unlikely that the PS5 will go on sale specifically because of Memorial Day (the Xbox Series X is currently in stock at Microsoft direct). However Sony's Days of Play event starts around the same time period and the sale for that event kicks off on May 25. That could potentially mean a return of PS5 stock from select vendors like PlayStation direct.
