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

—

So, it’s July 5th—Saturday—and here I am, chugging caffeine and diving into these deals before my brain decides it’s had enough nonsense for today. Seriously, blink and you’ll miss them.

## Samsung Gaming Monitors: Dive Into Immersion (or something)

Okay, Samsung’s got gaming monitors on sale this weekend. And before you think, “Another screen, big deal,” hear me out. First up is the 32″ Samsung Odyssey G8. It’s got this QD-OLED thing going for it—whatever that means, right? Bigger than my TV, pretty sure. And it refreshes at 240Hz! Gah. I swear it might be watching me back. Anyway, it gives those deep blacks that make space in sci-fi games look like actual… space. Then there’s the 49″ version. Yeah, you read that right—49 inches. It curves around you like some sci-fi movie pod. Should cost a spaceship, but this weekend it’s cheaper than it ought to be.

## Crucial T500 SSD: Because Storage Is Never Enough

Ever felt like your storage mocks you? You buy a game, and boom, it’s all “No space left, buddy.” Enter Crucial T500 SSD, 2TB of joy. It’s like moving into a mansion compared to whatever storage you’re used to. Lightning-fast too, kinda like a rabbit on espresso. Supposedly it’s good for both PCs and PS5.

## Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Get Lost for Hours

Assassin’s Creed has this new shiny thing called “Shadows,” and guess what—it’s $49.99 right now. That’s like, two pizzas? Maybe one if you’re fancy. Anyway, this one’s supposed to be the peak of open-world gaming, if their mumbo jumbo is to be believed. Rated 8/10, though. But do ratings even matter when you’re just killing time between life drama?

## Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition for the Switch Freaks

Question: Is there a better time to catch up with Borderlands 3 than now? Time’s ticking, and so is this $17.97 deal for the Ultimate Edition on Switch. It has everything—literally a buffet of chaos. Borderlands 4 is our next obsession anyway, so why not warm up?

## Metaphor: Strategy for the Win

If you’re that person—yeah, you know who you are—who needs a roadmap for every game, the Metaphor: ReFantazio guide is out for $43.56. Almost 600 pages of pure info-porn, walkthroughs, archetypes. I dunno why you’d need all this unless you’re aiming for the definitive nerd badge.

## The Steam Summer Sale: PC Gamers’ Christmas

Steam sales are like holiday lights in July. Everything is on sale, and it’s almost criminal not to indulge. RPGs, shooters, all under the spotlight—Guardians of the Galaxy, Crash Bandicoot, a whole buffet of pixellated goodness. Call it gaming gluttony, or just plain savvy shopping.

## DK Bananza: Go Bananas

Last but not least—um, Donkey Kong is back! And this time, Pauline—yes, that Pauline—is tagging along. It’s almost poetic. Core of the planet adventures, wishes… think bananas on steroids. No wonder it’s top-selling. If I had a Switch 2, I’d be pre-ordering right this second. That’s my day one buy.

Okay, diving back to reality—or maybe just more caffeine. How do I call it a day when deals like these are around? Until next sale!
