If you've been waiting for a discount before picking up Hideo Kojima's newest game, your patience has paid off. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has received its first major price cut since launching in June exclusively on PS5. As part of a PlayStation Studios publisher sale ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, Death Stranding 2 is on sale for $50 (was $70) at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach (PS5) $50 (was $70)

Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has been driven to the brink of extinction, Death Stranding 2 is set one year after the first game and it once again follows Sam Porter Bridges on a new mission to connect the scattered people of Australia to the Chiral Network of the UCA, the remains of what was once the United States of America. Death Stranding 2 improves on the original game's various systems, and if you're in the mood for a surprisingly zen-like experience of hauling cargo, dodging deadly phantoms, and a strange storyline, then this game might just appeal to you.

Like its predecessor, Death Stranding 2 is a polarizing game, but if you enjoyed the original, the sequel is arguably even better from a gameplay and exploration perspective. Like the original, it features excellent performances from its star-studded cast. Along with top-notch presentation, Death Stranding 2 is an exceedingly polished experience with compelling systems and a more varied gameplay loop than the original.

Game News - Sun, 10/05/2025 - 19:57
See at Amazon

Studio Ghibli Film Comic: All-in-One Editions are on sale for great prices at Amazon ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Viz Media's ongoing All-in-One Edition project includes four of Studio Ghibli's most popular films: Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, and Spirited Away. Each fully illustrated omnibus contains four to five volumes originally published in paperback. Most of the paperbacks have been out of print for years, so it's awesome that the new versions are single-volume hardcovers.

The best deal right now is Kiki's Delivery Service for only $17.63 (was $30), but Amazon is offering discounts on the other All-in-One Editions, too.

Score Big Discounts On Select HP Wireless Printers

Game News - Sun, 10/05/2025 - 18:00

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale officially runs from October 7 to October 8, but a few of the discounts will be available for a little longer this year--including a five HP wireless printers that will be on sale for less than $130 from October 5 until October 11. The most affordable option is the HP Envy 6155e Wireless Color Printer for $100 (was $197), and there are models like the HP Envy Inspire 7255e Wireless Printer that are great for printing your own photos at home--and you can grab it for just $130 (was $210). Here's a closer look at the lineup to help you find the right one for your office before the discounts disappear. Once you've browsed the HP wireless printer deals, be sure to check our deals hub for even more discounts available in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale.

HP Envy 6155e Wireless Printer (Color) $100 (was $197)

This multifaceted device is capable of printing, scanning, and copying documents. It supports HP AI to properly format web pages and emails, making them easier to print than usual. A 2.4-inch color touchscreen is used to control the device, though you can also use the HP app on your smartphone. It doesn't feature an auto document feeder like more expensive products, and print speeds are on the slower side of things (10 pages per minute black, 7 pages per minute color), but its ability to print, scan, and copy should make it a versatile choice for most home offices.

See at Amazon HP Officejet Pro 8125e Wireless Printer (Color) $110 (was $222)

The HP Office Jet Pro 8125e is a bit more robust than the 6155e. It's also a printer, scanner, and copier, but it moves much faster at a rate of 20 pages per minute black and 10 pages per minute color. It also has a large 225-sheet input tray and an auto document feeder, so the extra $10 might be a good investment if you deal with large batches of files.

See at Amazon HP Envy Inspire 7255e Wireless Printer (Color) $130 (was $210)

If you'd rather print photos than documents, take a look at the HP Envy Inspire 7255e. It lets you print traditional, square, and panoramic photos, and you can even print additional text or notes on the back. It's said to print "true-to-phone" quality images, and the majority of user reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Other notable features include the ability to print up to 15 pages per minute and a separate photo tray.

See at Amazon HP LaserJet M110w Wireless Printer (Black & White) $119 (was $216)

Only worried about black and white documents? Consider the fast HP LaserJet M110w. It'll print up to 21 pages per minute and is best used for homes that need to print up to 1,000 pages a month. That's probably excessive for most users--but if you're running a small business, it might be a good fit.

See at Amazon HP LaserJet MFP M140w Wireless Printer (Black & White) $129 (was $267)

The MFP M140w is a bit more expensive than the M110w, but it's ability to also scan and copy should make it mighty appealing for an extra $10. Beyond that added functionality, it's essentially the same printer as above. Keep in mind that it's still just a black and white printer, making it a better choice for businesses or schoolwork than it is for creative purposes.

Harry Potter Monopoly Is Nearly 50% Off In Amazon's Early Big Deal Days Sale

Game News - Sun, 10/05/2025 - 08:46

Harry Potter fans can save big on the first official version of Monopoly based on the book and film franchise. Released last summer, Monopoly Harry Potter is on sale for only $22 (was $40) at Amazon for a limited time. This early Prime Big Deal Days board game offer is one of Amazon's limited-quantity deals. At the time of writing, more than 25% of units had been claimed. The Prime Big Deal Days early sale features several other popular versions of Monopoly, including the Amazon-exclusive Super Mario Edition of Monopoly Jr. for $17.84.

Monopoly Harry Potter Board Game $22 (was $40) | Limited-time deal

This remixed take on the iconic board game features characters, locations, and artwork from the Harry Potter books and movies. It supports 2-6 players and is recommended for kids 8 and up. The six metal player tokens include the Hogwarts Express, Hagrid's Motorbike, The Knight Bus, Hippogriff, Thestral, and Firebolt.

Harry Potter Monopoly retains the core premise and progression of the classic game with some Wizarding World-themed modifications. Instead of paper money, players vie for points for their Hogwarts House: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.

As players make their way around the board, they can use House Points to acquire familiar locations from around Hogwarts Castle, Hogsmeade Village, Diagon Alley, and other notable spots such as Malfoy Manor and the Dursley home on Privet Drive. House Crests can be added to properties to increase rent. Hogwarts House Common Rooms serve as railroads, but surprisingly the jail isn't named Azkaban.

Owl Post cards replace both Chance and Community Chest cards. Each card is designed to look like a letter sent from Hogwarts by owl. The cards are held on a custom stand with a Hedwig figurine.

The 5,440-page, three-book collector's set is on sale for $80.65 (was $250) in Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days book promotion. The 68% drop--nearly $170 off--is the steepest price cut offered by Amazon since William Morrow published the collector's set in 2020.

Tolkien and Lord of the Rings book deals Amazon is offering this weekend, you need to be a Prime member to get The Complete History of Middle-earth for this low price.

Alternatively, all four of the 2024 hardcover box sets collecting The History of Middle-earth and The Silmarillion are on sale for up to 66% off.

Helldivers 2 Dev Explains Why The Game Takes Up So Much Space On PC

Game News - Sat, 10/04/2025 - 11:37

Have you ever noticed that Helldivers 2 takes up a lot more room on PC than it does on either Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5? At 150GB, the game is roughly three times bigger on PC than on consoles. According to Arrowhead game studio deputy technical director Brendan Armstrong, the reason why is that Helldivers 2 is still catering to a small segment of PC users.

In a lengthy post on Steam, Armstrong wrote that Helldivers 2's install footprint is so large because most of it is duplicated for the benefit of players who still use mechanical hard disk drives. It's an antiquated process that features duplicate data grouped close together in order to reduce loading times. Armstrong notes that the duplication is not necessary for players who have long since upgraded to solid state drives, but Arrowhead has had difficulty determining how many players remain on mechanical HDDs.

"How many Helldivers 2 players are still using mechanical HDD? The truth is that we don't currently know," Armstrong wrote. "Even the Steam user surveys are unable to give us data on mechanical HDD use in the overall gamer population. Our best estimates put it at around 12% of all PC gamers, but the data is very unreliable and relies on a lot of extrapolations. Until we can more accurately determine the number of mechanical HDDs that Helldivers 2 is installed on, it is difficult to know how many players will be impacted by reducing the amount of data duplication. Even if that number is small, keep in mind that the load time for each player dropping into a mission is determined by the slowest member of the squad."

Save On PS5-Compatible SSDs Ahead Of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days

Game News - Sat, 10/04/2025 - 09:41
See 1TB at Amazon See 2TB at Amazon

While Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days officially begin on October 7, several products are already seeing discounts ahead of the event. This includes steep price cuts for the Crucial P310 1TB and 2TB M.2 SSDs, which are down to their lowest prices ever. The 1TB model is $75 (was $96) while the 2TB version is $112 (normally $145). These internal SSDs come with a built-in heatsink, meaning they work out of the box with all PS5 models, as well as PCs that support the NVMe M.2 format. These are great deals if you're looking to add a bit of extra space to your computer or console during the busy fall release season. However, we don't know how long these deals will be available--in fact, we've already seen similar early Prime Big Deal Days discounts on other SSD models sell out--so it's worth grabbing one of these internal drives while you can

Crucial P310 NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB: $75 (was $96) | 2TB: $112 (was $145)

The Crucial P310 is capable of read speeds up to 7,100MB/s, which is far beyond Sony's requirements of 5,500MB/s. An included heatsink means you won't have to worry about shopping for an external heatsink, and getting your SSD installed shouldn't take more than a few minutes (if you need help, consult our PS5 SSD installation guide).

See 1TB at Amazon See 2TB at Amazon

Note that a 4TB version of the Crucial P310 NVMe M.2 SSD is also available; however, it is not currently on sale and can only be purchased from third-party sellers. However, we have a few alternative options if you're shopping around, including Samsung's popular Samsung 990 Pro. It's available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, and all of them are also on sale (though they're noticeably more expensive than the Crucial lineup). These support speeds up to 7,450MB/s, and while that speed difference is negligible on PS5, it could be useful if you're installing the drive on a PC.
