This isn’t my first rodeo - I started covering Prime Day deals five years ago - so I’m not surprised things are getting competitive. Last year it was this very sale that kickstarted the entire holiday period of discounts and things didn’t let up until Black Friday itself. That means the offers on the shelves today are particularly lucrative, as Amazon (and its competitors) looks to stretch that holiday period out a little further.

Things can move fast during the second day of Prime Day. After all, we’re entering the biggest shopping season of the year and this is the start of it all. Expect lower prices than July’s event but also stock to run out quicker. The best Prime Day deals are going to move fast over the course of the next 24 hours, so I’m already out on the digital aisles.

I’m scouring the web for all the biggest discounts available, and will be seeing you through the entire sale as a whole as well. Alongside my top picks of the best savings, I’m also sharing the tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the last five years to make sure you get the most out of these price cuts.

2024-10-07T13:32:23.069ZAnother Prime Day?Yes, we’ve been here before. Amazon started running two Prime Day events three years ago, launching its ‘Big Deal Days’ October sale in 2021. While it goes under a different banner, this is essentially another Prime Day, so we can expect many of the same things to occur. The biggest deals will be reserved for Prime members only ($14.99 per month) but other retailers will be diving in to compete as well. We’ll also likely see the same kinds of devices with surefire discounts - Amazon’s own Fire tablets, Kindles, and Echo smart home gadgets, for example.

2024-10-07T13:46:06.851ZAre there any Prime free trials?Speaking of having a Prime membership, it’s worth noting that if you took out a free trial to cover you for the July event you’ll need to pay this time around. Amazon only offers its Prime free trials to users who have not used one in the last 12 months (if that’s you you won’t see the option for a free trial when you head to theAmazon Prime page). Otherwise, you’re free to grab 30 days of the service with no charge, though remember this will roll into a full $14.99 / £8.99 per month subscription once that trial period ends.

2024-10-07T14:01:19.455ZWhen is Amazon Prime Day?Amazon’s October Prime Day will start at midnight tonight, running from October 8-9 and finally ending when the clock strikes 12 on Wednesday. That said, we do sometimes see some discount sticking around until the end of the week - and likely even further. After all, this is essentially the start of the whole holiday sales period. Last year we didn’t really see those discounts slow down until late December, so you’re certainly shopping at the right time.

Top Tip #1: Price Check

I track deals every day, and the first thing I do when I spot a tasty looking discount is check other retailers. You never know who’s going to be price matching or even beating Amazon’s discounts over the next couple of days, and it’s not always the usual suspects wheeling out the lowest prices.

Of course, Best Buy and Walmart are going to be the first places you look. But there are plenty of other retailers that could be flying under the radar. I’d recommend checking in with stores likeNeweggandB&H Photofor laptops and PCs, whereas it’s always worth checking brands' own retail sites (thinkRazer,Dell,Corsair,Logitech, andSteelSeries) for their own discounts as well.

2024-10-07T15:39:12.357ZShould you buy a Meta Quest 3 this Prime Day? Here’s Duncan’s advice(Image credit: Future / Duncan Robertson)TheMeta Quest 3is making waves on the shelves right now, in the wake of the announcement of a 128GB Meta Quest 3S model. The cheaper device will take over from the base Quest 3 device when it hits the shelves on October 15, but retailers are keen to shift stock of the old model. That means we’re seeing a whole wad of discounts on the shelves right now, so I grabbed our VR specialist Duncan Robertson to see whether it really is worth jumping on the hypetrain. Here’s what he had to say:“Seeing the Quest 3 discounted right now makes it especially tempting - I’m right there with you. I’d argue that the Quest 3S isn’t going to feel that different from the Quest 2 so, if you’ve played around with any VR headset and know that you’ll like it, I’m not sure I’d recommend it. Instead, I’d try and get your hands on the Quest 3 while its going cheap.On the other hand, if you’re yet to own VR tech, the Quest 3S is the headset designed exactly for you. It doesn’t have the same wide-focus lenses the Quest 3 does, but it’ll give you some mixed-reality fun, and will be more than capable of immersing you in loads of great games.”

Top Tip #2: Check for coupons

Amazon likes to be sneaky - it sometimes adds an extra coupon onto its listing page to save you even more cash while displaying a slightly higher cost. It’s easy to miss these - they exist as small checkboxes that must be ticked before proceeding to checkout. However, in my experience, products with these coupons attached often do so to reach brand new record price lows.

Amazon will drop its full wave of deals tonight at midnight, giving us a full 48 hours in the official sale. That’s not to say there aren’t some steals already on the shelves, but if you’re waiting for the full selection we haven’t got long to go.

Buying a gaming laptop this Prime Day? Don’t fall for these tricks

Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 screen playing Returnal

The PC space is looking particularly strong this Prime Day, but there aren’t too many of thebest gaming laptopson the shelves. Best Buy is staying quiet in the $1,000 - $1,500 range and Amazon is posting some wacky configurations with some equally crazy price tags. There’s still some gold out there if you are in the market for a new portable PC, though - just make sure you don’t fall for some commonly sighted tricks.

Check your RAM

Check your refresh rate

While few and far between, there are some budget gaming laptops out there trying to sell you on a display running at only 60Hz. They may be cheap, but it’s worth noting that this is far below industry standard. At the least you’ll need a 120Hz refresh rate to make the most of current generation graphics cards, but ideally you’ll be looking between 144Hz and 240Hz.

Think carefully about the RTX 30-Series

There are still a few budget gaming laptops floating around with RTX 30-Series graphics cards under the hood. While an RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3070 could still represent solid value if the price is low enough, the RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 are all but obsolete these days. Gaming laptops offering these cards are often just a little cheaper than their RTX 40-Series counterparts and the jump between generations at this budget end is considerable.

Walmart’s anti-Prime Day sale isn’t looking so hot if you’ve already got a console

Monitors are looking particularly strong right now, but should you opt for lesser known brands?

KTC G27P6 with Steam Deck connected via USB-C with SteamOS menu on screen

There are loads of gaming monitor deals on the shelves for Prime Day this year, and Amazon is championing some lesser known brands amongst them. These can be risky, but Phil’s had their eyeballs on a few of these models and is here to show you which ones are worth your time. Here’s what they have to say:

That’s not to say all Amazon brands are worth avoiding, far from it. Earlier this year, theKTC G27P6blew me away with its OLED abilities, and it actually uses the same LG panel as more expensive options. I’m also currently testing the KOORUI GN02, and while it certainly feels like a budget gaming monitor, it’s holding up as an excellent cheap 1080p 240Hz option so far.

As with all gaming monitors, I’d heavily advise reading reviews before clicking buy, and that applies to the big names too. The biggest piece of advice I can give before diving into Big Deal Days is don’t let super low prices woo you. Do your research, find out more about more obscure brands, then decide if it’s the right screen for you. I’ll be on hand dishing out advice and sharingPrime Day monitor dealsworth jumping on throughout the whole event. Unknown brands won’t always bite you in the budget bum, but it’s always worth being a little sus during the sales.

Ben talks us through how to find the best Lego discounts this Prime Day

(Image credit: Benjamin Abbott)

Lego Piranha Plant box in front of white shelving and The Mighty Bowser set

Lego is having a moment right now, with loads of savings on the shelves and some already having run out of stock. Ben tracks these prices year-round and is on hand to provide his expertise on finding the biggest offers on the shelves right now.

“You’ve picked a good time to track down Lego deals. Prime Day in October (or ‘Prime Big Deal Days’ as Amazon insists on calling it, which gives me a kneejerk “stop trying to make fetch happen” response) can be hit or miss… but the bricks from Billund are coming off well during this year’s sale. In fact,Prime Day Lego dealshave provided some of the best discounts we’ve seen all year.

That’s why it’s worth keeping an eye onWalmartandBest Buyfor more recent kits - you can often find price cuts on some of thebest Lego sets, and they normally match Amazon at the very least.

Similarly, I tend to find thatZavviis equally reliable for good deals. Avoid it at your wallet’s peril!

2024-10-09T15:03:48.745ZTop Tip #8: Don’t get caught up in Lightning DealsAmazon’s Lightning Deal system is generally more of a curse than a blessing. It’s usually filled with a whole wad of generic brands that aren’t really offering the discounts they say they are. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen higher prices during a ‘lightning deal’ than I would normally see on a product day to day. While that rising Claimed meter can make things feel itchy, I would steer clear of the majority of offers this Prime Day.Of course, that’s not a blanket statement. One of my favorite offers of this Prime Day so far was a lightning deal - a $139.99 sales price on the Lego Super Mario 64 Question Block that really was a fantastic discount. I’m still keeping an eye on these faster sales to bring you more gold, but in reality most of these offers are just filler for Amazon’s shelves.

Neither Walmart nor Best Buy were willing to commit quite so many discounts to the shelves. But then again neither was Amazon.
