Games Entertainment IGN Themes IGN Daily Deals: Save on SSDs, Arcade1Up Machines, and More

If there's no arcade in your town, you may be wanting to recapture some of your old nostalgia by building a home arcade of your own. Today could be the day to get that started, as Best Buy is having a sale on some of the arcade machines from Arcade1Up. And, PS5 SSD prices are discounted right now, with even better deals than Black Friday. Take a look at some of the best SSD options that are on sale below. And, check out deals on headphones for working out, gaming PCs, MicroSD cards for Nintendo Switch, and more.

Price Drop: WD Black SN850 M.2 SSD

PS5 Compatible

Today OnlyWD Black SN850 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7000MBps) 35% off $229.99$149.99

The WD SN850 is currently the most popular (and probably the best) SSD to get for your PS5 storage upgrade. It's blazing fast drive with transfer speeds rated at up to 7,000 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. It's $30 cheaper than the model without heatsink, so you can buy a cheap $12 heatsink off Amazon and put it on yourself to save some money.

Price Drop: WD Black SN850 M.2 SSD with Heatsink

PS5 Compatible

Includes HeatsinkWD Black SN850 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7000MBps) 26% off $249.99$183.99

The WD Black SN850 model with pre-installed heatsink hovered at around $250 for most of the time since it was released last year, which made it overwhelmingly the better deal to just buy the non-heatsink version. The price has dropped significantly over the past few weeks that this model now actually makes sense. It's still roughly $15-$20 more expensive than buying the non-heatsink model and slapping onyour own heatsink, but peace of mind and out-of-the-box readiness makes up for the price difference.

XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink

PS5 Compatible

Includes HeatsinkXPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7400MBps) 19% off $159.99$129.99

This Black Friday deal is back. The XPG Gammix S70 Blade is one of the more recently released SSDs that's specifically designed for your PS5 storage upgrade. It also happens to be the lowest priced PS5-compatible 1TB SSD with heatsink available. In fact, it's even less expensive than most compatible SSDs without heatsink. The S70 Blade boasts transfer rates up to 7,400 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. It includes a PS5-compatible low-profile aluminum heatsink. It's not beefy, but it works and it fits.

New Release: XPG ATOM 1TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink

PS5 Compatible

Includes HeatsinkXPG ATOM 1TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 5000MBps) 8% off $119.99$109.99

XPG has released a new PS5-compatible SSD that's even cheaper than the S70 Blade, which was already the least expensive PS5-compatible SSD you could buy. Whereas the S70 Blade has read speeds of 7400MB/s, the ATOM has read speeds of 5000MB/s. That's still good enough to meet PS5's requirements, and if your sole intent is to use this in a PS5 console, you'll hardly notice the difference between the two. Like the S70 Blade, this SSD includes a thin aluminum heat spreader.

Crucial P5 Plus 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD

Crucial's newest P5 Plus series PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD meets all the requirements for your PS5 SSD upgrade. It supports transfer speeds of up to 6,660MB/s, well above the 5,000MB/s minimum threshold. No heatsink is included but you can buy a cheap PS5 compatible heatsink on Amazon and put it on yourself (it's super easy). Right now both the 1TB and 2TB models have been discounted to the lowest prices we've seen on Amazon.

More PS5 SSD Options in Stock

These PS5 SSD options are in no way less capable or deserving of your PS5 upgrading. The Firecuda 530, for example, is actually considered the fastest drive compared to all the other models listed here. The Samsung 980 PRO is a tried and true model that's extremely popular in PC builds. All of these SSDs have seen decent price drops in 2022.

This is the best price we've seen for a WD Black SN750 500GB SSD. It's a perfect candidate for a boot drive thanks to its generous amount of storage for your OS and core apps, and fast transfer speeds of up to 3,600MB/s. It's not recommended for your PS5, though, since it doesn't hit the 5,000MB/s threshold.

Dell XPS RTX 3060 Gaming PC for $1099.99

New 2021-2022 ModelNew Dell XPS Intel Core i7-12700 Alder Lake RTX 3070 Gaming PC with 32GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD 12% off $2,199.99$1,929.99

The Dell XPS gaming PC is equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and the RTX 3060 video card. For faster performance, we'd definitely recommend adding in an SSD as your boot drive. The low price tag might imply that the RTX 3060 is not up to snuff, but nothing could be further from the truth. The RTX 3060 is about 20% faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER and is on par with the RTX 2070. That means it handles 1080p gaming beautifully and has the chops to take on 1440p and VR gaming as well. That's pretty impressive for a budget $1099 gaming PC no matter how you look at it. It's also future proofed with DLSS 2.0, which can significantly improve your fps without taxing your system.

Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3080 PC for $2199.99

Alienware Aurora R10 AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core RTX 3080 Gaming PC with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD 23% off $2,869.99$2,199.99

Do you need a rig with considerably more power? If you've been on the lookout for the extremely elusive RTX 3080 video card for your (up to 4K) gaming needs, then check out this ready-to-go prebuilt Alienware Aurora gaming PC from Dell. This PC comes equipped with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 processor, 16GB of memory, and generous 1TB SSD. The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation's best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 are the only cards that are (very slightly) more powerful, but they cost hundreds of dollars more.

Klipsch Promedia 2.1ch Computer Speakers

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX Computer Speakers 28% off $139.99$99.00

The Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers have been around for over 2 decades, but it's still considered one of the best computer speakers under $200. It's normally listed for $139.99, but today Walmart has it for only $99, a 29% savings. This THX-certified speaker set includes two satellite speakers with 3/4" soft dome tweeter with 3” midrange drivers and a 6.5" 200W powered subwoofer for some intense bass.

LG Ultragear 32GP850-B 2560x1440 1ms 165Hz G-SYNC Nano IPS Gaming Monitor

LG Ultragear 32GP850-B 2560x1440 1ms 165Hz G-SYNC Nano IPS Gaming Monitor 34% off $599.99$396.99

This particular LG Ultragear monitor is one of the best 32" gaming monitors you can get. The 2560x1440 resolution is nice and sharp on the 32" display, yet it's low enough to allow mid-range cards like the RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070 to handle it beautifully, even at the maximum 165Hz refresh rate for many games. The Nano IPS display is LG's version of QLED, and it allows for better color handling and higher contrast ratio. It's also G-SYNC compatible, like any high-end gaming should be.

Best Buy is also offering this RTX 3060 equipped gaming laptop with a $300 discount. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus boasts a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 series mobile processor, 16GB of RAM, and a generous 1TB SSD. The RTX 3060 (80W TGP) is enough to run most games at 1080p at 60fps without issue. Despite its gaming prowess, this is a pretty lightweight laptop, weighing in at only 3.6 pounds.

Xbox Wireless Controller 20th Anniversary Edition
