If storage is getting tight on your PlayStation 5 and you want to make sure you have room for the best PS5 games, then you’ll definitely want to take a look at some of the best Prime Day deals that are on right now. October is playing host to Amazon’s Prime Early Access sale, but other retailers are also getting in on the game. There are some great Best Buy Prime Day deals on now, including this 1TB WD Black internal SSD that’s selling for only $120 — — and it’s designed for the PS5 so it’s ready to up your game in a big way.

Why you should buy the WD Black SN850X 1TB internal SSD

While you can increase the storage on your PlayStation 5 in several ways, including plugging in an external hard drive, only an internal solid-state drive (SSD) will provide the same top performance you’re accustomed to from the PS5’s onboard storage. However, you can’t just pop in any SSD on the market; it has to be designed for the PS5 to ensure that it fits and can withstand the heat of high-performance gaming.

This is where the WD Black SN850X comes in. It’s designed specifically to meet the needs of the most demanding PS5 games, from the best RPGs to the best sports games, with a superfast PCIe Gen4 interface that allows data transfer speeds of up to 7,300MB/sec. A built-in heatsink also ensures that it can sustain this performance during marathon online battles.

Storage prices may be going down each year, but serious gaming still requires a high-performance SSD, and it’s hard to find a better price than this WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD deal for only $120.

Our 5 favorite tablet deals in Best Buy’s ‘3-Day Sale’
Apple iPad 9th Gen. 2021 on porch with toys.

If you weren't aware, the Best Buy 3-Day Sale is going on now. While the name is a considerably less flashy than Amazon's Prime Day, it does make immediate sense. There's a sale going on at Best Buy, and it lasts... for three days, ending Sunday. During this sale, you can find a number of classic Best Buy items — with everything from the best laptops to the best tablets — marked down in price. Here, we investigate the tablets that make up the 3-Day Sale and highlight the five we like the most, based on discount and quality of the product, while also showing a wide variety of tablets and price ranges.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ — $190, was $220

While the discount isn't too steep, there also isn't a lot of room to bring the Galaxy Tab A9+'s price down anyhow. This low-priced tablet is perfect for watching videos and browsing the net. It can also be cozy to curl up next to someone else and watching programming together on its surprisingly large 11-inch, 1920 x 1200p screen. As the Galaxy Tab A9+ only uses 4GB of RAM and has a mere 64GB of storage, you might think it wouldn't be too great at gaming, but with a 90Hz refresh rate, it can definitely take on some action-packed fun. Just install a few apps at a time and be a completionist about it.

Our 5 favorite gaming laptop deals in Best Buy’s ‘3-Day Sale’
Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 placed on a desk.

Gaming laptops are typically quite expensive. To have an effective one, you've got to get good storage, a nice processor, and likely throw in above-average RAM. We've all seen the big towers of pre-built desktop computers — they're big, and that space is totally non-existent in a gaming laptop. In other words, a gaming laptop is a feat of engineering. That's why we're particularly interested in gaming laptop deals, whenever they come up. And right now they're coming up via Best Buy's 3-Day Sale, an aptly named sale that lasts for... three days. It's ending Sunday, so go check these deals out now.
HP Victus 15.6-inch Gaming Laptop — $550, was $800

The key stat/hardware line (AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 graphics card, 512GB SSD storage) of the HP Victus can sound intimidating, even with 8GB of RAM. That's why we're delightfully shocked that this laptop is nearing the $500 mark after discounts. For your gaming needs, it also has an anti-glare monitor with 144Hz refresh rate. While it still won't beat using the best ethernet cables, the WiFi 6 standard will help you get your games downloaded fast. Other features gamers will enjoy are the full keyboard with numpad (traditional ASCII-based roguelikes, anyone?) to AI noise removal for clear communication with your teammates.

PlayStation 5 Slim Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle -- $500

The PlayStation 5 Slim Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III bundle coincides with the launch of the PlayStation 5 Slim, an updated version of the console with a slimmer design and more storage space. This bundle comes with a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, which is the latest entry in the popular first-person shooter series. The game's campaign features the return of Task Force 101 as they go up a ruthless Russian terrorist named Vladimir Makarov, though most players would probably focus on its multiplayer modes.
