Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, the latest entry in Nintendo's long-running action-adventure series, has fallen to $34.99 at Best Buy, with Amazon matching the price as part of Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale. The discount marks one of the lowest prices yet for the Switch title, which earned an 8 out of 10 in review coverage that praised its tense exploration, worldbuilding, art direction and technical performance. Players who own a Switch 2 can also buy an upgrade pack for $9.99 that adds enhanced graphics and mouse controller support, a route that remains cheaper than purchasing the dedicated Switch 2 Edition outright.
Audio gear is the other major draw. Walmart is still selling the Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones for $149, a $200 savings off the list price. The headphones offer active noise cancellation, roughly 40 hours of battery life and a set of Apple-friendly features, including quick pairing with Apple devices, at a fraction of what the AirPods Max cost. For readers who prefer listening to books, Amazon has introduced an Audible promotion tied to its coming Prime Big Deal Days event. Prime members can get four months of Audible's Standard subscription for $0.99 per month, down from $8.99. The Standard tier includes one audiobook per month that stays in the listener's library while the subscription remains active, and it draws on the same catalog of millions of titles available through Premium Plus. A separate Kindle Unlimited offer gives new subscribers three months free.
Collectors and tabletop players have their own options. The Magic: The Gathering x The Hobbit Gift Bundle is listed at $94.97, shipped and sold by Walmart. The price sits above the manufacturer's suggested retail price, but the set's popularity has kept demand high. Each bundle contains a Collector Booster, nine Play Boosters, a Traditional Foil promo card and several accessories. On the video game hardware side, Best Buy is carrying the new Switch 2 plus Mario Kart World bundle, which saves buyers about $40 by combining the console, the $80 racing title and a three-month Nintendo Switch Online individual membership. It is the first bundle to appear since the Switch 2 received a price increase earlier in the month. A similar Nintendo Switch Sports Resort bundle preorder saves roughly $30.
Accessories and peripherals round out the day's discounts. The SteelSeries Aeon Pro gaming controller, newly released for PC and Xbox, is already 10 percent off when shoppers enter the code NEWSLETTER10 at SteelSeries. The controller carries a premium price but offers a hot-swappable battery system, Hall Effect joysticks, mechanical switches, modular sticks and 16 customizable buttons managed through an OLED display or the GG app, plus a quick-switch feature for moving between Xbox, PC and mobile. A 20,000mAh Amazon Basics portable charger is available on Woot for $13 with free shipping for Prime members, offering two USB-C ports at up to 20W and a USB-A port at 12W, along with an included USB-C to USB-C cable. The capacity is enough to top up most smartphones and can even charge a Switch 2 in a pinch.
Larger purchases are also discounted. The MSI Codex Z2C gaming desktop, built around an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F processor and a GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB of video memory, is down to $1,399 with free shipping and includes a voucher for a free download of the upcoming Control: Resonant. With 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB M.2 solid-state drive, the system is positioned for smooth 1080p and 1440p play and can handle 4K gaming. For physical media fans, the Batman 4K Film Collection has hit its lowest price of the year, gathering the four films released between 1989 and 1997 — Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin — in 4K UHD with HDR and bonus features. A smaller gift option is the Legend of Zelda Master Sword Hanayama metal brain teaser at $24.50 on Amazon, a cast-metal puzzle rated for its difficulty and suited to desk display.
