Only a few items for me so far, a laptop for my dad, a couple games that were on my wishlist and that's it. Hopefully some more games go on sale, not too impressed so far.

Got some nice deals for Adidas and Timberland off their websites. Grabbed a 512gb Lexar microsd card for $54. Let's see how bad/good it will be.
They had a Pro with Spider-Man and Horizons for $299. Not the slim but a darn good deal.
I've got a 10-year old HDTV I'm quite happy with. I'm not too keen on huge bucks for ultra HD when 1080p is enough for me (and often 720).
Anyone getting the Sony Gold should look at the Cloud Flight. It's also on sale and is infinitely better.
It's certainly a good point and you could save around $100 most likely but would need to wait till probably BF. It also depends on which games you want to play as some will perform better with 1080p on the Pro.
Also there's still barely any 4K content. 4K UHD BDs aren't coming out as fast as Blu-rays did. And cable TV still can't even do 1080p let alone 4K. All tv broadcasts are still 720p/1080i. I don't really see the necessity in upgrading unless you game a lot on a high end PC for consistent and real 4K usage.
Probably wait until Black Friday. Last year they were going for $200 w/ Spider Man. I image they'll have the same deal this year maybe even cheaper since next gen is coming next year.
I'm thoroughly unimpressed with this sale thus far. But I'm not gonna pretend I wouldn't buy more shit if the prices were actually good.
Did anyone purchase/recommendations for a second monitor? looking for something no bigger than 21 inches due to limited space, so the smaller the better tbh.
I second this, but actually looking for an even smaller recommendation. Say 9-12" primarily it's just going to be used to monitor streaming software.
Ended up biting on the Philips hue/echo dot combo for $62. Figured I get two more newest get Hue bulbs for $20 a pop and just sell the dot. A 2 pack for the newest bulbs come in at $90 of disgust lol.
I spent a lot, but should get some decent cash back. Tallying it up..
- Echo Dot trade in, basically got the 3rd gen for 12$ after all the discounts
- Samsung QR70 soundbar (15% cash back) + speakers
- Nespresso machine + 30 capsules
- Dash cam
- Classic Brands Queen matress
- Bedframe
- Linens
- Portable camping cookware set, 2 ultralight camping stoves, utensil kit
- 2x SanDisk 64GB MicroSD
- Algorithms to Live By (book)
- Soylent shake (cocoa)
- Kind bars
- Big box o oatmeal
- Gummy vitamins
- Gatorade powder canister
- Your Name (bluray)

Nothing much for me this year really. Last Action Hero, Akira, Roger Rabbit, and a couple other blu-rays. Black Friday is usually the best time for deals.
Me too just checked and nothing everything is either external or 4tb. No huge discounts.
None? They'd still have to fill the packages in the same amount of time.
Doing some heavy storage upgrades.
Got a nice 1tb NVMe drive for my main drive and a huge 4TB hdd for just space. Going from a 250gb SSD main drive and a 1tb hdd.
Will probably use that ssd for games that would take advantage of the speed.
Upgraded my ram from 16gb 2133 8x2 sticks to 32gb 3600 8x4 ones. Even if I'm probably won't see much performance increase lol

Casually checked throughout the day. For a normal Amazon buyer (same day shipping is a great perk), I didn't buy anything today. There was some decent deals but nothing "incredible". This happened last year as well.
To anyone thats on the fence for buying anything I would advise to wait. A lot of these deals you see throughout the year (and sometimes better). Prime Day isn't "Crazy deals act now" just a collection of deals that would normally be spread out a little bit.

Depending on your processor, (ryzen is especially bandwidth hungry) you could still see a pretty decent gain.
Nah still using an intel i5 6600k. I want to wait till next year to upgrade gpu, cpu, cooling, etc. My storage which I really need and ram boost I'm getting which I could use, I feel won't see much gains at an affordable price by the time I upgrade the rest of my build next year. So just bought them now.
In theory the no rush option gives more time for the system to spread out fulfillments.
But yeah. Volume is such that I don't know if it matters.
Big house? Average house? Apartment?
If big house I definitely recommend a mesh network.
Bumblebee is on sale for $7.99 digital hd, $12.99 digital 4K, and $9.99 Blu-ray/dvd/digital. Was trying to find some other movie deals but Blu-ray.com won't load.
i wanted that RTX 2060 laptop so bad for $999 that shit was by far the biggest steal of the day, can't believe i missed it and am stuck on a waiting list that i know won't hold.
GGGGAAAAHHHHHHH

I need some era advice. I want to buy a macbook for work. I don´t intend to use it for gaming or other things (i have a suitable pc for that).
Is this a good deal? The point is not if a macbook is good or not or if i should look for other options. I just want to know if the conditions are ok.
I don´t really get iterative tech and always get the feeling that i buy the wrong stuff.

I really wouldn't recommend you get that one. It's a model that's recently been discontinued, and hadn't been updated in a very long time. It's got a single USB-C port - that's it. Meaning if you're charging the laptop, there's no way to plug anything else in. And regardless of your gaming plans, that's a seriously weak CPU even for just work.
I'd say go for a new MacBook Air for around the same price. You'll get a much better CPU, twice the peripheral ports, a better screen, faster storage, Touch ID...
Dont see many good deals, but I grabbed God of War for $20. Finally have time to play it over summer break
I wish I could play it for the first time again. It's sooooo good.
Not sure if it's been posted, but 3 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is $29.99 at checkout.

I don't see it discussed here. Amazon had a new deal today, which is kind of annoying that they waited a day:
I had already spent more than $500 yesterday. I contacted them just now on Chat Support and said this below, and was told I would receive the credit when my items are delivered.
"I bought that in good faith assuming it was the best offer for Prime subscribers, then today I see a new deal was added, spend $500 via the Amazon app and get a $60 promotional credit. I would have waited to buy today if I had known. I am hoping you will honor that deal please."
- Spend $100, Get $10 Amazon Credit
- Spend $200, Get $22 Amazon Credit
- Spend $500, Get $60 Amazon Credit

You don't need a Pro to be able to experience HDR, but you will need a capable TV as well as a high bandwidth HDMI cord.
