Well i wouldnt use it for consoles mainly to back up my gog games etc.
So i would be looking 2.5"

Best Buy has a 2.5" 5TB External for $89.99. If you want something bigger, they also have a 3.5" 12TB External for $179.99. Those are probably your best options and both are available right now.

Retailers don't carry Wii U anymore. Second hand is the only way. You'd be better off getting a Switch at this point though. It's a much more convenient solution (not having to continuously charge the gamepad).

How is charging the Gamepad any different than charging the Switch itself? Drop it on the cradle when you're done and it's topped off for your next session.

Do you think there's any chance Switch drops to $250 with a game bundled?

This year going by what ads show? No chance

Bet you they will next year when the PlayStation 5 is out (and will likely be when I buy my Switch unfortunately)


@ot - Since I have decided to opt out of buying a Switch this year due to the weak bundle offers , gonna buy PS4 games. In my list I have...

Devil May Cry 5 for $15
Yakuza Kiwami 2 for $15
Spider-Man GOTY for $15
Dragon Quest Builders 2 for $25

Anyone know if BB will put any of the above on sale tomorrow early?

Thinking about getting a prebuilt moderately good desktop PC maybe ( will build a high end one next year or so) due to the fact that my current gaming desktop is about to turn 10 years in two months 😂

Whats the best bang for your buck 4K monitor on sale right now? Willing to settle for 1440p if it has good HDR. Not really looking to spend over $400 if possible.

When it comes to monitors, you need to pick one: HDR or cheap. You cannot get cheap HDR on a monitor yet and you're better off getting a TCL 6 Series for $500 if you want 4K and HDR if you're worried about price.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Logitech G613 Wireless Keyboard? I know it's considered a gaming keyboard, but how is it for typing?

Does anyone think the UHD Blu Ray Players will go on sale? Im happy with my LG up970, but I missed my old Sony x800 . Only reason I got rid of it was the lack of Dolby Vision.

Now I'm seeing the new X800m2 for $250. I'm really tempted to go back to a Sony player :/

That Best Buy One X deal is pretty good and better than Target, IMO - 3 months of Live instead of a Target gift card and Jedi Fallen Order instead of Gears 5

Just picked up a switch...

More importantly, there's a bunch of 128GB or 256GB cards on sale at Best Buy for $20-$30...what's the best to pick for the price?

Poor Shenmue, already seeing heavy markdowns. No reason for anybody to buy it at launch now.

I think I'm just going to go for Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair for $20. I want Spyro and Ni no Kuni, but they are going for $25 as of now. I wanted that $20 price point. I know it may seem silly since it's just a $5 difference, but I can't shake it. lol

The new Yooka Lahore is absolutely worth it at 20 bucks. I paid full price at launch, game is excellent. I'm stunned at the quality jump from the first game to this. Still haven't finished it but what I have played was really impressive! I'd like to see another 2D game from Playtonic, not nevessarily YL. But do jump on that deal, I wouldn't pass it up.

I see several games I want to pick up for the Switch, and maybe a couple on PS4.

I already own Starlink, but for $9.99 Switch owners should grab that game and give it a shot.

All right thanks. What's the best HDR 1440p monitor then in your opinion? I don't mind spending money I just wanted to be cheap. :P

Preferably smaller then 30 inches.

Not yet. Once it's out, I'll add all the details to the OP.
I'd expect it soon enough, along with Wal-Mart. I'm pretty surprised that there are no PS4 Pro sales. They should be trying to dump their inventory before the 5 comes out. At that point it's gonna be completely obsolete

This might not be the best place to ask, but is there anyway to get some sort of notification, like an email, whenever something specific goes on sale on the iOS store?

So far I'll probably jump on the $15 for Spider-Man complete. Waiting to see on more Switch sales.

Best Buy has a bunch of their SDXC cards on sale...what's the best price performance option for a Switch? This one for 256GB? Is there an difference in performance on the Sandisk "EXTREME PLUS" vs. "ULTRA PLUS" if only using for a Switch...I think that maxes out at 100mb/s?


Full List:
Load times are negligibly different. Just go by size.

Man, that $200 58'' Insignia at Best Buy is basically perfect for what I'm needing.

Can somebody help me convince my wife to buy it? We have a 50'' that's 5 years old and she thinks that's perfectly acceptable :(
