Daily Deals: Xbox Series X & PS5 Console, Logitech Racing Wheel, IBUYPOWER Gaming PC, Anker

Today's daily deals for Thursday, August 24 include both Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles, a PS5 controller charging station, Anker wall chargers and power bank, Nintendo Switch memory card, Logitech G29 racing wheel, electric standing desks, HP and Lenovo gaming PCs, and more.

Amazon is offering the OVIO PS5 Dual Controller Charging Station for a mere $9.99 after you (1) clip a 20% off coupon on the product page and (2) redeem a 40% off code "A9N9H4C4". This charging station normally costs $24.99, so you're saving a pretty massive 60% off for one of the most highly rated PS5 controller charging stations (by number of reviews) on Amazon.

Starting today, Dell is offering a bonus $75 Dell promotional egift card when you purchase an Xbox Series X gaming console for $474.99. You're essentially getting the Xbox Series X console for $399.99. You will receive the gift card via email within 20 days after the Xbox ships and it will expire 90 days thereafter. Use the gift card to buy almost anything at Dell including gaming PCs or laptops, monitors, electronics, and even Xbox games and accessories.

Includes two 5ft USB Type-C cables

Amazon is offering a 2-pack of Anker 20W Dual Port USB Fast Wall Chargers for only $14.39 after you clip the 20% off coupon on the product page. Each wall charger has one USB Type-C input and one USB Type-A input. Both are capable of charging at up to 20W max each (or 7.5W per port when used simultaneously). This bundle also includes two 5ft USB Type-C cables. In most cases, wall chargers do not come with any USB Type-C cables. A cursory check on Amazon prices two USB Type-C cables at around $6-$10.

The Anker PowerCore Slim 313 is one of the slimmest 10,000mAh power banks around. It's almost the exact same dimensions as an iPhone 14 (only 0.2" thicker). There are three types of connections, but it's important to understand which is input and which is output. USB Type-C and Micro USB are INPUT only, which means that you use either of these ports to charge the power bank itself. USB Type-A is OUTPUT only, which means this is the port that you use to charge your other devices. It's capable of delivering up to 12W of charge using Anker's PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technologies.

Amazon is currently offering the best price we've ever seen for the Logitech G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel and Pedal Set. It's normally $299.99 but you can get it right now for $186.99, or a savings of 38%. The G29 is arguably the best racing wheel under $300. This model is specifically designed for the PS5, PS4, and PS3 consoles, which means it supports Gran Turismo 7 for PS5/PS4 and Forza Horizon 5 for PC. The G29 has some really great features like a gorgeous hand-stitched leather racing wheel with 900 degrees of rotation, a sturdy metal base, durable steel ball bearings in the shaft, gear-driven dual-force motor feedback, stainless shifter and pressure sensitive pedals.

Amazon has the Samsung EVO 512GB Micro SDXC card for only $29.99. The memory card is compatible with virtually any device that accepts the Micro SDXC card standard. That includes the Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally, any recently released smartphone that supports expandable memory, GoPros, cameras and much more. Despite its low price, it's faster than your average Micro SDXC card. It has a U3 A2 rating and boasts transfer speeds of up to 180MB/s.

Amazon is offering this Marsail 55"x24" electric standing desk for only $129.30 after you clip a $57 off coupon on the product page. This is perfect for a back to school student or an at-home remote worker who's looking to build an ergonomic setup without spending much money. It's pretty amazing that you can score an electric standing desk for not much more than $100 when only a few years ago the least expensive option would cost upwards of $400 or more.

As part of the Intel Gamer Days 2023 Sale event, Amazon is offering this IBUYPOWER RTX 4070 gaming PC for $1799.99. That's a hefty $700 price drop from its original $2500 MSRP. This gaming PC is decked out in some quality components, and that includes the case and cooling. The nice thing about buying this PC over some other options (i.e. Dell or HP) is that the off-the-shelf components are non-proprietary and thus easy to source and replace if necessary.

Walmart has the PS5 disc edition console with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game for $10 cheaper than normally buying the PS5 console by itself. There are no other PS5 console deals at the moment.

Performance wise, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU is equivalent to an RTX 3070. That's pretty amazing given that at this price point, we usually only see RTX 3060 Ti equipped PCs or less. That also means that this GPU is easily run games at up to 1440

Amazon is offering the Xbox Series X wireless controller in the standard colors: Robot White, Carbon Black, and Pulse Red for $44.99. Best Buy is offering it in Lunar Shift also for $44.99. Aside from the difference in color scheme, this is the same controller as the one that's included with your console.

The Silicon Power XS70 SSD with a preinstalled robust aluminum heatsink costs well under $100. The aluminum heatsink is still slim enough to fit in the PS5 without obstruction. It boasts transfer speeds of up to 7300MB/s read and 6800MB/s write, comfortably faster than the 5500MB/s minimum recommended requirement. It actually performs a little better than the Crucial P5 Plus, the original WD Black SN850, and the Samsung 980 Pro, although that won't make a difference in your PS5.

Dell currently has the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Flight Joystick for only $412.49 after a 25% off coupon code: "SIM25". This is very close to the best price we've seen all year. Amazon currently has it for $550. If you're aiming to get one of the best PC joysticks out there, then there's no need to look any further.

The RTX 4080 is the second most powerful card on the market and a considerable step up in performance over the 4070 Ti. This (or the 4090) is the card you want for 4K gaming without any restrictions. On the AMD front, only the Radeon RX 7900 XTX can keep up (and that's if you ignore DLSS and ray tracing). It's much more powerful than previous generation cards, performing about 50% faster than an RTX 3080 Ti. It's actually only 20%-30% slower than the RTX 4090 (and you'll really only feel the difference in 4k) while costing hundreds of dollars less. Check out our RTX 4080 review.

This is one of the most powerful laptops that Lenovo sells right now. Let's just say the RTX 4090 makes high end gaming on a laptop possible. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful mobile GPU ever, and by a huge margin. The HP OMEN 17 supplies up to 175W to the GPU. That means this is probably the fully enabled RTX 4090 GPU with a 150W TGP, not the gimped 80W version. It's equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU.

The RTX 4070 mobile GPU performs roughly 20%-30% faster than the RTX 3070 that is replaces. That means its also a little bit faster than the RTX 3070 Ti. You'll need this kind of power to run games on the laptop's QHD+ display with settings turned up. RTX 40 series cards also support DLSS 3.0, which is essentially DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation.

Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti.
