If you've watched The Mandalorian TV show, you're probably very familiar with this sweet looking lightsaber from its initial appearance in the hands of Moff Gideon to its rightful place in the hands of Din. This Black Series Darksaber from Hasbro is a faithfully detailed 1:1 replica, complete with a solid metal hilt, removable blade, white LED edgelit blade lighting as well as a fancy "molten tip" effect, authentic sounds from The Mandalorian series, and a display stand to show it all off.

The latest Humble Bundle offers a sweet deal for any Resident Evil fans with a gaming PC — or, if you’ve managed to snag one, a Steam Deck. You can spend between $1 and $30, and you’ll get up to 10 Resident Evil games. If you were to buy them all at MSRP, they’d set you back $275. Like I said, sweet deal. But bundle goes away on August 24, so grab it before then if you want it. The games include the rebuilt editions of Resident Evil 2 and 3, as well as a 50% off coupon voucher for Resident Evil: Village.
This is one the only ways to get your hands on a Sega Genesis Mini 2 preorder, which releases in late October. This is the new and improved version of the Sega Genesis Mini that was released back in 2019, with better hardware, a small footprint based on the Sega Genesis Model 2, and and over 50 preloaded games including Sonic the Hedgehog CD, Shining Force CD, Virtua Racing and more (not all games have been announced). Note that there will be a $21.99 overseas shipping charge.
Amazon has the Apple Watch SE starting at $229. Despite the considerably lower price tag than the Apple Watch Series 7, the Watch SE is still big on features, such as a large Retina OLED display, 2x faster CPU than the Series 3, heart rate monitoring, GPS, swimproof design, haptic feedback, and more. If the health-centric features on the Apple Watch Series 7 don't spark your interest, you might be better served saving over $100 and going with the SE.
This Arcade1Up Streetfighter II "Big Blue" Arcade Cabinet normally sells for $600, but Walmart has it on sale today for only $399.99. Unlike most other Arcade1Up cabinets, this package includes a matching stool and a themed riser. The Arcade1Up Street Fighter II cabinet is a 3:4 replica of the arcade original, making it approximately 4 feet tall. That riser raises the height by another 1 foot, giving you the option of both sitting and standing play. Also included is a light-up marquee, light-up deck protector, and a Street Fighter themed stool. If you don't have a buddy around to play with, you can hop onto the live WiFi (no subscription required) to play with other remote Arcade1Up players. 12 games are pre-loaded including several editions of Street Fighter II, Super Puzzle Fighter, and Darkstalkers.
Dell is clearing out this Alienware Aurora gaming PC, equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800 8-core CPU and RTX 3060 Ti GPU, for only $1399.99. The RTX 3060 Ti GPU is on par with the previous generation's RTX 2080 SUPER; it is the ideal card for 1080p gaming and has plenty of power to handle 1440p gaming as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 CPU is a great all-around processor and definitely won't be your bottleneck for gaming. It's paired with 16GB of RAM and dual storage (512GB SSD and 1TB HDD).
The HP X32 32" monitor retails for $400 but Best Buy has it for $199.99. That is an outstanding price. The lowest price we saw historically was $299.99, and that was during HP's Memorial Day Sale. The X32 monitor is a big 32" display with a sharp 2560x1440 resolution, blazing fast 1ms response time, up to 166Hz refresh rate, and an IPS panel for wide viewing angles and excellent color reproduction. This is a pretty high quality display, and I don't think you'll find a better gaming monitor with a screen size of 30" for a similar price.
Walmart is offering an outstanding deal on the new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop that is also equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core i7 Alder Lake CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. The Alder Lake CPU is a significant bump in performance compared to the previous generation CPU and we highly recommend you get a laptop with this CPU if you plan on keeping it for a while. The RTX 3070 GPU in this gaming laptop also has a TGP rating of 140W. Higher TGP correlates to a more powerful GPU. In terms of real world performance, the Legion 5 Pro is one of the most powerful RTX 3070 equipped gaming laptops on the market.
The RTX 3080 Ti had previously been maligned as a "poor value" compared to the RTX 3080 and that's because of one justifiable reason: it's MSRP of $1100. That made it a whopping $400 more expensive than an RTX 3080. At 4K resolution, an RTX 3080 Ti represents a 10% performance increase over an RTX 3080, and that certainly wasn't worth $400.
Fast forward to today and Amazon has the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti XC3 Ultra for $859.99. That's only $140 more an RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra, and now the performance increase is actually quite tempting, especially if you're gaming on a 4K monitor. If you're running games at 4K, with an RTX 3080 you'll be hovering at that threshold between good fps (50fps) and great fps (100+fps) in many newer games and that 10% speed bump from the RTX 3080 Ti could make all the difference in the world.
Game of Thrones' House of the Dragon Premieres August 21
Pay for 12 months of HBO Max and get 40% off your order total. HBO Max is normally $9.99/month ($119.88/yr) for the ad-supported plan and $14.99/month ($179.88/yr) for the ad-free plan. Instead you'd be paying $69.99 for 1 year of the ad-supported plan or $104.99 for 1 year of the ad-free plan. That's technically a savings of 41.6%.
This is the perfect time to sign up for HBO Max. The highly anticipated Game of Thrones' House of the Dragon premiered exclusively on HBO Max starting August 21. Set 200 years before the events of the original Game of Thrones TV series, House of the Dragon covers the fall of House Targaryen. In addition to Game of Thrones, HBO Max is host to the entire collection of DC movies (including The Batman), Harry Potter series, Lord of the Rings and movies like Dune, King Richard, Free Guy, and much, much more.
The new 2022 LG C2 model has an improved "Evo" OLED panel over the C1. Previously reserved only for the LG G-series OLED TVs, the Evo panel offers higher brightness levels, one of the few areas that traditional LED LCD TVs have OLEDs beat. As always, OLED panel blows away any IPS, VA, or TN monitor in terms of HDR, black levels and color rendition. This TV excels in gaming as well. It has HDMI 2.1 ports and supports 4K @ 120Hz, VRR, and ALLM, perfect for the PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC equipped with an RTX 30 series GPU. It also boasts 4:4:4 chroma sampling for clear, sharp text as well as sub-1ms response times and native G-SYNC compatibility for zero tearing and ghosting. The new C2 model also introduces native GeForce Now and Stadia streaming support.
Wingspan is an incredibly good board game. So good in fact that we deemed it the best board game of 2019. Improbably enough, the year's hottest game is one about keeping birds in a nature reserve. But the wide appeal of the theme, lovely art and simple rules meant lots of players got to enjoy the fiendish engine-building game beneath. A choice of a mere four actions blossoms into an excruciating balance between adding birds, feeding them and scoring points. Yet tricky as it is, the pace of play leaves you itching for another try to evolve your strategies, while 170 bird cards ensure every game is different. The board game is worth it even at the $65 retail price, but today it's nearly 40% off.
The Apple TV 4K happened to be one of Amazon Prime Day's hottest sellers. Today the price has dropped down to the same as what we saw on Prime Day. The newest Apple TV features two major upgrades. It boasts an A12 Bionic processor that boosts graphics performance, video decoding, and audio processing and delivers high frame rate HDR with Dolby Vision. It also includes a new Apple TV remote. The overall build quality is better than before, but the biggest enhancements are a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV.
Apple's latest 10.2" iPad is a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service. The 64GB model has dropped to $299, and you won't find a less expensive current generation Apple iPad out there. The Apple A13 Bionic chip for fast CPU and GPU performance to tackle just about anything, and the large 10.2-inch Retina display ensures everything is bright and crisp during use. iPad also features both a front-facing camera for voice chat, and rear camera for taking photos and videos.
The current generation Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding "truly wireless" earbuds you'll find, especially at this price point. "Truly wireless" earbuds have no wires whatsoever; even the earbuds aren't hardwired to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods with active noise cancelling technology. That, combined with the inherent nature of in-ear earbuds, means that the AirPods Pro will provide better noise isolation than over-ear headphones like the Bose QuietComfort or the Sony WH1000XM5. If you're thinking of getting a pair of new AirPods, we highly recommend jumping on this particular model.
