This set of rules. I understand why people didn’t want to drop $ 70 on it at launch, but that $ 49.99 price tag seems right. Give it a try.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

This remake of the 1993 Game Boy game looks like a little diorama coming to life. It’s totally delicious from start to finish, but I recommend using a guide if you don’t know what to do next.

The first thing you need to know about Prime Day 2021 is that you can’t get any of the discounts if you’re not a Prime member.

Fortunately, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime. Once done, you can take full advantage of any Prime Day offers you want. Better yet, if you choose not to continue your membership, you can cancel before the end of the 30 days. You will still get discounts on what you bought, but you won’t have to pay anything at all.

Even if you’re not eligible for the free trial, maybe because you’ve used it before, you can still pay a month of Prime ($ 12.99) to get the Prime Day offers and then cancel after that. the end of the sale.

When is the first day?

Prime Day is a two-day event this year. It takes place from June 21 to 22. Here are the specific times for Prime Day:

• The first day begins – June 21 at 12:01 am PT / 3:02 am ET
• End of the first day – June 22 at 11:59 p.m. PT / June 23 at 2:59 a.m. ET

PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers

We’ll likely see deals on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Both programs are worth it for anyone who owns the respective systems, as they give you access to free games and online games.

PS5 and Xbox Series X | S consoles during Prime Day

It might go without saying, but since Sony and Microsoft can’t keep the latest generation of gaming consoles in stock, there’s no way they’ll offer discounts on them.

It’s a bummer, but it’s possible that Amazon will receive a replenishment during the event – although that’s not a sure thing. If Amazon gets a restock, it will likely happen out of the blue and just show up on the site without warning. This is how Amazon has put the PS5 and Xbox Series X | S back in stock since their launch.

Prime Day sales from other retailers

Other retailers often hold sales at the same time as Amazon’s Prime Day sale. To that end, it’s certainly wise to keep your eyes peeled for discounts on video games at places like Walmart and GameStop. In fact, Best Buy’s Better Deal and Walmart’s Sale are already live and running until June 22.

Some of the early Prime Day discounts are usually available on Amazon’s own hardware. To that end, you can save money on items like Echo Dot, Echo Buds, and Echo Show. Discover all the Prime Day offers.
