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

Alright, folks. So, you know how it goes: weekends come around, and suddenly you’re deluged with “don’t miss out” emails. Well, here’s my two cents on Saturday deals for July 5th — yep, that’s today. I don’t normally keep track of these things, but hey, here we are.

### Samsung’s Gaming Monitors – Pretty Neat, Right?

Imagine walking into a room and seeing that 32” Samsung Odyssey G8. It’s not just a monitor; it’s a jaw dropper. With its QD-OLED setup, your visuals pop like those old comic books that kept me glued for hours. And then there’s the thing about true blacks — something I never knew mattered until it did. Anyway, it could be yours at a snip of last month’s overtime pay. Not that I’m counting.

And if you’re really in for a wild visual ride, consider the 49” Curved Odyssey G9. It’s like the monitor’s giving you a hug. Normally priced at over a grand, snagging it for just under a thousand? Tempting. Maybe too tempting. But who’s the wiser? Not me.

### More Storage? Yes, Please

Okay, now imagine you’re juggling storage like a circus clown with too many balls. Tricky image, huh? Everyone’s got digital debris piling up. Enter the Crucial T500 SSD — with speeds faster than my mind pre-coffee — got 2TB for packing in enough games without uninstalling last season’s favorites. Consoles or PCs: it’s like that friend who fits in anywhere, you know?

### Assassin’s Creed: You’re Still a Thing?

How is Assassin’s Creed still so captivating? Here’s Shadows, a limited edition for under fifty bucks — let’s face it, that’s two cups of fancy coffee nowadays. Our review gave it a solid 8/10, which feels genuinely honest, unlike my attempts to assemble IKEA furniture.

### Borderlands 3: Ultimate on the Switch — Say What?

Quick tangent: did you know Borderlands has more add-ons than my browser? For less than twenty bucks, get the Ultimate Edition on Switch — throw in the kitchen sink of content, and suddenly, you’re refusing real-life responsibilities for pixels. It makes sense somehow.

### Infinite Gaming Lore with Metaphor: ReFantazio

Finally, overwhelmed by the gaming industry’s clever playbooks? Meet Metaphor: ReFantazio’s Official Strategy Guide. Nearly 600 pages of tips make it heftier than a dog-eared mystery novel. A trusty companion for those “Wait, what now?” moments in gaming.

### Last-Minute Steam Escapades

Steam’s Summer Sale is, of course, winding down, with RPGs and adventures at prices that would make your wallet do a little jig. Think Final Fantasy goodness or galaxy-guarding escapades for less than six bucks. Pure madness.

### Pre-Order Frenzy: Donkey Kong Bananza

Maybe it’s just me, but I find something oddly satisfying in pre-orders, like booking a vacation from your couch. This time it’s Donkey Kong Bananza, set to explode into living rooms everywhere. Remember the Direct announcement? Bananas! Literally and figuratively. Grab a copy before they disappear like socks in a dryer.

So, if you made it this far: well done. Not the usual polished prose, but life? It’s messy. Enjoy the pursuit of bliss in pixels, minding the chaos along the way.
