Today’s Top Deals: Samsung Gaming Monitors, Crucial 2TB SSD for PS5, and More

Oh wow, okay, where to start? Let’s just dive into this hodgepodge of Saturday deals — and trust me, it’s a rollercoaster.

So, first up, those Samsung gaming monitors. Honestly, why are they making screens so ridiculously big? I mean, who’s sitting two feet away from a 49″ curved beast? If you are, kudos. Anyway, there’s a $900 discount dangling like a carrot, and it’s a 4K thing. The Odyssey G8, with its QD-OLED, sounds fancy. Maybe you need it — or maybe not. Whatever floats your boat, really.

Anyway, jarring shift: storage! My endless quest for space (no, not the outer kind — although that could be cool) might just end here. The Crucial T500 SSD is on sale. 2TB feels like an ocean to me, especially for hoarding games, movies, digital junk… or, let’s be honest, more games. Speeds up to some absurd number nobody actually understands. I dunno, looks good?

Right. Yeah. Assassin’s Creed Shadows! Games can either be wildly absorbing or a complete time-sink. Or both, I guess? So this one, it’s like getting a movie ticket for free popcorn. Apparently, it’s a hit or whatever, with edges that are sharpened. Whatever that means. 8/10 review — sounds neither fantastic nor terrible.

Oops, sidetracked there. Moving on. Borderlands 3 is, ehem, just lying in wait for a harmless $17.97. Includes everything. Like, so much stuff. Who even has time for these expansions? Anyway, it’s tempting if you’re a fan — or even if you’re not.

Oh, and speaking of strategy — dive into this nearly 600-page guide for Metaphor: ReFantazio. Sounds exhaustive. Gets you through every nook and cranny of the game. I bet someone, somewhere, is nerding out over this right now.

Can you believe it? Steam Summer Sale is almost over — tragic! Missed enough deals to fill a (proverbial) shopping cart of regret. So, snap stuff up. Some RPGs are noted, like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or, surprise, something about Oblivion! Way cheap, but are you buying for the thrill or the actual playing? Hmm…

Last stop, jump on the Donkey Kong Bananza express. Pre-orders open now! Why am I so hyped, you ask? It’s the big DK adventure with Pauline thrown in. Blast that nostalgia rocket straight to the planet’s core of wish-granting mysteries. Pre-order, forget about it, then get pleasantly surprised when it arrives.

There we go, a saga wrapped in chaos. Deals: grab them or leave them. Just don’t trip over the cables of that gargantuan monitor, okay?
