Get an Xbox One X on Amazon with your choice of game at a huge discount

The Xbox One X is the most powerful game console currently available, and it’s capable of playing several of the biggest AAA games at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second. If you’ve been holding off on purchasing the system so far, Amazon currently has a huge deal that will get you not just the console, but a great new game to go along with it.

On Amazon right now, the Xbox One X 1TB console is available for just $350, down from its standard $500 price. It includes either Gears 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, or NBA 2K20, all at the same price. You can even get the limited-edition Gears 5 bundle with a special console at the same price if you’re a major fan of the series.

You can’t go wrong with any of the bundled games. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is one of our favorites from last year, with gameplay that blends elements from series like Uncharted and Dark Souls, along with plenty of fan service for longtime Star Wars enthusiasts. Gears 5, meanwhile, is an excellent entry in the shooter franchise that takes some bold risks, including a psychological horror element and the new cooperative Escape mode.

Alongside the console and game, you’ll also get a free month of Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, and EA Access. This means you’ll be able to play hundreds of more games for free during your first month, and you can decide which one will be your next obsession after you finish the bundled game. Xbox Game Pass adds new titles on a continuous basis, both from Microsoft’s own library as well as third-party publishers.

When the Xbox Series X launches later this year, you should be able to carry over all your Xbox One games onto it, as well. The console supports full backward compatibility with the current-generation console, and it will also support the same backward compatibility for previous Xbox systems that the Xbox One does today. At launch, it also won’t have any exclusives right away, so new Xbox One X owners won’t be missing out on the latest games.

Best PS5 SSD deals: Add more storage to your PS5 from $120
A 2TB WD Black

When the PlayStation 5 was originally released, it had the option to expand its internal memory, which was quite small at the time at a little under 900GBs. Of course, the issue is that there weren't any SSDs that worked on the new standard the PS5 was using, so even if you wanted to upgrade, you couldn't. Luckily, since then, there have been a lot of great SSDs for the PS5 that have been released, and upgrading its storage is pretty easy and can be done by pretty much anybody, provided they have a screwdriver. So, whether you picked up a PS5 from one of the PS5 deals or already have a PS5 and want to upgrade, be sure to check out the SSDs that will work great for your PS5 below.
Our favorite PS5 SSD deal

It wasn't that long ago that you'd have to pay well over $100 to get an SSD for your PS5, and often, it'd be slower than the pricier alternatives. These days, you can buy a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB SSD with heatsink for just $120 from Best Buy, thereby saving $45 off the regular price of $165. The SSD offers speedy performance while also having its own nickel-coated high-end controller to help deliver effective thermal control. It means it won't overheat and performance won't be compromised. Being a PCIe Gen 4 SSD, you get twice the data transfer speed of PCIe Gen 3 which is useful. Offering maximum read speeds of 7,000 megabytes per second, it's a good upgrade to go alongside your existing hard drive with 1TB offering plenty of extra space at a shrewd price.

It's time to brush up on your Simlish if it's rusty because the long-awaited The Sims 5, aka Project Rene, is officially on the way. This has been the longest gap between main entries since the series began, and while we did get tons of expansions for The Sims 4 to hold us over, plus the change to it becoming free to play, we're more than ready for a new entry. Each time a new game in the franchise comes out, die-hard fans always need to have a bit of skepticism about what features will be there -- both new and returning.

We can't answer all your questions yet, but here's everything we know about The Sims 5.

VR headset deals: Meta Quest 2 and VIVE XR
htc vive vs pro headphones

While VR may not be as big as was predicted back in the early 2000s when the original Oculus Go was released, there is still a considerable market these days, and some great VR games like Half-Life: Alyx that you can have fun with. Of course, VR headsets remain expensive, and while options like the Meta Quest don't necessarily require a high-end gaming PC, they can still be a bit pricey for those who just want to put a foot in the hobby. Luckily, there are some good deals you can take advantage of, even on some of the best VR headsets, so be sure to check out all your options below.
Meta Quest 2 -- $199, was $200

Even though the Meta Quest 3 came out quite recently, the Meta Quest 2 is still a pretty powerful contender, especially since it has a wider library and app support than the Quest 3 currently has. Even more so, the Quest 2 is a lot cheaper than the Quest 3, and with the latest permanent discount down to just $200, that's a whole $300 or so difference from the Quest 3. Of course, the Quest 3 does have more advanced AR and slightly better performance with software and Wi-Fi, but that may not be worth the extra cost for some. Either way, be sure to check out the breakdown between Quest 2 and Quest 3 to get a better sense of what you should pick up.
