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

Alright, everyone, buckle up. Here’s a Saturday scramble that might just have you reaching for your wallet—or maybe just a cup of coffee because it’s a lot. Here we go:

Saturday deals are a bit of a mixed bag, right? Sometimes it’s fish, sometimes it’s candy. Or maybe it’s just electronics and games this time. So, let’s dive in, shall we?

First off, if visual eye candy is your jam, take a peek at the Samsung gaming monitors. You’d think they put wizardry in these things. There’s a 32-inch Odyssey G8 which sounds super fancy—OLED, true blacks, you know, all the tech words. It’s marked down and apparently makes everything look shiny. But the real beast (just my two cents) is the 49-inch Curved G9. Curved screens confuse me, like, does it really change everything? Anyway, it’s almost half off, so there’s that.

Switching gears—literal ones. Storage is the one thing we never have enough of. You buy an SSD, think you’re all set, and then, BAM, there’s another spoiler-fied game to download. Enter the Crucial T500 2TB SSD, which (so they say) is optimal for PS5 too, if you’re needing space for even more adventures. Plus, it’s got a heatsink. Why? Well, it helps cool something, obviously. Or not so obviously.

Hop over to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Shadows? Or is it lights? Anyway, it’s on sale and perfectly priced to lose yourself in a virtual world instead of doing… regular boring human stuff. And yeah, I read somewhere it’s got an 8/10 review. Does that really matter? You decide.

Now, for the Nintendo lovers eyeballing the future—Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition’s asking just under 20 bucks to join your collection. But who am I kidding? It’s all about collecting all those DLCs and little extras that you probably didn’t know you needed.

Strategy buffs, I see you lingering there with a calculator. Metaphor: ReFantazio’s guide might as well be a mini novel, packing pages and pages of shenanigans. It’s the kind of book that could make an alarmingly heavy doorstop—who needs the gym, right?

Now, Steam’s Summer Sale—it’s like a candy store for gamers. Honestly, what are RPGs anyway? A chance to avoid real-world responsibilities, that’s what. Grab classics and newer releases before everything jumps back to full price. I’m imagining a shopping cart full of digital goodness.

Finally, I can’t leave out Donkey Kong. Yeah, DK’s got another gig, and he’s not monkeying around (well, kind of literally he is). New adventure, get it while it’s hot! Or before stock runs out because nothing fuels an impulse buy like a scarcity alarm.

And that was a whirlwind—whew! Or, you know, maybe just a crash course in why procrastination isn’t always the worst thing. Enjoy the shopping, or not—it’s your call.
