Gaming ruled this week’s best deals

by

This was another week of gaming dominating the coverage of our deals. That’s mainly because my colleague Taylor Lyles has diligently kept readers up to date with every (sadly fleeting) addition to the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S consoles. Outside of consoles, there are some good gaming deals in addition to technology that might make gaming more fun.

Save on this fast 1TB external SSD from Crucial

Whether you need a fast external drive to connect to a PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC, this Crucial model is a great deal at $ 125. Its low-profile design makes it easy to fit into most entertainment centers or desks, and it comes with a USB Type-A adapter in case your device doesn’t have a USB-C port.
