Are the TCL TVs actually good or just good for the price they come at?
I'd rather order from Amazon.ca and not have to worry about import fees etc...as of yet still nothing live in Canada or the US just Japan and UK
They are great for the price bracket they are in especially since the dollar is so shitty
You don't actually have to worry about import fees -- they are charged upfront. If anything I frequently get refunds from Amazon Japan.
But of course you should probably wait for this thing to be listed on amazon.ca IMHO
Been looking to upgrade from my 1080p screen for ages. Looking at reviews, the input lagnon this thing seems great in Game Mode, and for the price, can't go wrong. I ordered it
Hng, all I was looking for from Prime Day was memory cards. But product reviews on large Lexar cards were abhorrent last time I looked them up, and I'm not seeing anything different with a quick look now.
For 20 bucks it's hard to go wrong. I've been using a 128gb version in my switch since launch with no problems.
The Ring Doorbells + Echo combos are really tempting.
Anyone have one? I feel like with so many echos in my house the Ring 1 is fine since I assume it can just ring through my echo speaker. The Pro sounds better since it's hardwired, but it's double the price and I have no clue if my wiring has enough amperage for it or not. Can I just test it with a multimeter?

Prime Day deals have nothing for me, as usual. Whole Foods however was giving away "spend $10 at Whole Foods, save $10 at Amazon during Prime Days" coupons, so I used that to buy Judgment for $59. I've been waiting on a pre-owned copy, so this is the next best thing
Yeah, I use them professionally since last year (both the micro and full sized one), and it has given me no issues so far.
Another great deal for Switch owners:
SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSDXC UHS-I Card with Adapter - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA - Amazon.ca $62.99 (42% off)
SanDisk Ultra 400GB microSDXC UHS-I Card with Adapter - SDSQUAR-400G-GN6MA - Amazon.ca $62.99 (42% off)
It is funny to see items that were on sale for the same price the last few weeks listed as a prime day deal but they stay the same price.
Some decent deals on physical games, ps4 controllers and 4K movies. Tempted to pull the trigger but it's not deals that cant be had at other times of the year.
I missed the Sonos Beam Prime Day special but Bestbuy has the same deal I just snagged one. $150 off
If you prefer avoiding amazon Best Buy has same price
Ok this seems to be a good time to ask: I want to get a soundbar for my Sony 4k tv (X800D). Literally just using TV speakers right now. I have no idea where to start in terms of getting something that will definitely pass through 4k and HDR from my PC and PS4 Pro, and not have an issues with all my other inputs (Switch, Xbox One S, PS3, etc.)
Is there an easy guide to picking out this stuff?
For the Sonos Beam I'm not sure. I just needed basic HDMI audio functionality out of it which is what I researched. For my game den I have an actual receiver so I'm not much help.
I have that TV and a Sony sound bar. Just use the designated HDMI port on the tv (ARC) and connect it to the soundbar. Any sound that normally would have come out of the tv will now come out of the soundbar. I have my switch, cable box and ps4 pro all doing this. All your systems hook up to the tv normally so it won't mess with HDR, etc.
Not a gaming deal, but I'm tempted to pick up a Kindle... Like usual though, nothing really good on Prime day
Okay that was my question - I wasn't sure if everything else just connected normally to the TV. Then just my one input that is going to the ARC port now (my PC) would be directly connected to the soundbar instead, right?
Mind letting me know what soundbar you have?
FWIW that's the price it's always at whenever it goes on sale.
I know it's nothing to be worried about, like Bandai expecting to raise prices on us sometime before Arise releases...But it totally still triggers my (unwarranted) paranoia
Could just be an Amazon error. Sometimes they put the wrong price and apply a discount to correct it. It was frustrating when they had pre-order discounts for Prime members cause they wouldn't offer the discount since it was already 'on sale'.
Any good PC / gaming chairs on amazon.ca? Not necessarily on sale, just something I won't regret. They all have these funny names like GTRACING, UOMAX, TOPSKY, MORFAN, etc...... I guess I'll pay up to 300$ maybe a bit more.
It really needs to support my head / neck, and of course be comfortable....

How easy is it to copy content from a micro sd card to another for the Switch? Is it like 3DS or is there some nonsensical Nintendo hoops to jump through?
Thanks, I'll keep it in mind if the budget is tight when getting a PS5.

Basically drag and drop from one card to the other
Thanks! I bought that this morning along with a wire stripper.
Don't buy a chair online unless you've actually tried it yourself.
And don't buy a gaming chair.
I bought this and love it https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B076XCB6JW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, there's a lot of reviews for it online too so I recommend watching all you can before making any decisions.
Lots of great deals on complete box sets tbh.
Sopranos, deadwood, the wire, futurama, boardwalk empire etc etc

Nice, thanks. 9 by my place. I hope I can try it first but we'll see.
EDIT: reading tons of negative opinions about stiff ass padding and non-adjustable back

I had a bunch of friends and family being like "can you order this prime only thing for me?" Lol.
That said it was pretty darn good this year for non gaming stuff.
PC gaming can be really expensive (high end CPUs, high end graphics cards, high end monitors... it can all really add up).
Since some PC gamers have a lot of money and are willing to spend it, there exists a huge market for cosmetic upgrades. If you can sell an LED lighting kit for someone's car, then you can surely sell an LED lighting kit for someone's car-priced gaming PC.
Overpriced gaming chairs exist as a side market to overpriced gaming PCs. It's like... what else do you need to game on PC? A gaming desk? Monster Cables already infamously cornered the market on gaming surge protectors. Maybe you need gaming blackout curtains. Nobody tell the ISPs that they could be charging for gaming bandwidth (ah, who am I kidding, gamers already boast about their dedicated fiber-op connections).
The gaming chair industry got a ton of effective advertisement by paying streamers to sit in gaming chairs while they stream. The camera is pointed at the streamer while they play, so you can see the chair, and start to want one, unlike the streamer's Monster Surge Protector, which is not seen because it sits on the floor.
Speaking of which, I could use a desk with wheels for my gaming laptop
Probably just go to ikea unless anyone has a recommendation

My son needs his own PS4 so I just ordered him the Amazon Prime Day Special. $300 plus taxes including Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn.
