Asus TUF A16 gaming laptop drops $700 in weekend deals roundup

A weekend roundup of discounted gaming laptops, games, headsets, Blu-rays and wearables includes the Asus TUF A16 at $700 off, Saros at its lowest price and a 50 percent Criterion sale at Barnes & Noble.

Shoppers looking for a discounted gaming laptop have a notable option this weekend, with the Asus TUF A16 listed at $700 off. The machine pairs a Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB of RAM with an RTX 5060 graphics card. Those specifications matter at a time when prices for PC components, especially memory, are high, a situation that has kept many buyers from upgrading their machines.

The weekend's deals also extend to video games. Saros for PlayStation 5 is available at Amazon for $41.99, matching the lowest price the retailer has offered. The roundup describes the title as a bullet-hell action game, a genre built around dense waves of projectiles that players must dodge while fighting. Dune: Awakening's physical PS5 copy is $39.99 at Amazon. Star Wars Zero Company's physical release is $47.97 at Amazon, $12 below its usual price. Gears of War: E-Day's physical Xbox copy is $60.99 at the same retailer.

Several Nintendo Switch 2 titles are discounted as well. Persona 3 Reload is $24.99 at Amazon. The Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Expansion Pass bundle is $39.94 at Walmart in digital form, and a Switch 2 Edition upgrade for the same game is listed at $10. The roundup also notes that Trails in the Sky's first chapter is priced at $39.99, while its second chapter is now out. Amazon is selling the Super Mario Galaxy Movie 4K collector's edition for $12.99.

Audio and wearable deals round out the list. Sony's Inzone H9 wireless headset is $178 at Amazon, down from $329.99, a reduction of more than $150. The Apple Watch Ultra 4 is $799.99 at Amazon, $100 below its list price of the manufacturer's suggested retail price.

Film fans have options too. Barnes & Noble is running a Criterion Collection sale at 50 percent off. Among the titles on offer is the 4K Ultra HD release of Frankenstein from the Criterion label, which came out last month and is priced at $29.98. The complete Dragon Ball Super series on Blu-ray is $116.25 at Amazon, a set that gathers the full run of the show in one purchase.

The prices and availability in this roundup may change at any time, and the figures have not been checked against live retailer listings. Readers should confirm the current price with the seller before buying, since discounts of this kind can end without notice.
