Hump day deals.


Here are the best deals for Wednesday, March 5. Highlights include price drops on PS5 DualSense controllers in metallic colors, a swanky SteelSeries gaming headset decked in red and gold, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Collector's Edition preorder which includes a real skateboard deck, huge savings on a pair of Beats Solo 4 headphones in a limited edition warm white and gold colorway, a new Humble Choice Bundle for March that includes Homeworld 3 and Wild Hearts, and more.
Sony PS5 DualSense Controller for $54
Lenovo has just dropped the price of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller to slightly lower than what we saw on Black Friday. Right now you can choose Sterling Silver, Volcanic Red, or Cobalt Blue for only $54 plus free shipping after you apply coupon code "PLAY5" in cart. This is probably going to be your last chance to get a DualSense controller at this price for quite a while, especially one that's decked out in a eye-catching metallic colorway.
Preorder the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 Collector's Edition
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 is up for preorder and the Collector's Edition is the one to get. Along with a physical copy of the game, you get an actual skateboard deck. Decks generally run about $60-$80 at a local shop by itself, so the price of this bundle is pretty reasonable as far as collector's editions go. You also get some extra DLC like skins, characters, and more. All preorders also get three day early access ahead of the game's official July 11 release.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Gaming Headset Dragon Edition
SteelSeries is currently offering the Arctis Nova 7 Dragon Edition gaming headset for only $119.99 after an $80 off instant discount. The Dragon Edition features a deep red colorway with decorative gold dragon accents. The Arctis Nova 7 is one of the best headsets you can get for PS5 and PC. In his Nova 7 review, Matthew Adler wrote that "SteelSeries continues to push the boundaries of what a headset is capable of. With the addition of simultaneous Bluetooth audio, you can enjoy music, podcasts, or just chat with your friends without losing your game audio – all with a single pair of headphones. The Arctis Nova 7’s new design is sleek, lightweight, and still remains one of the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever used."
Sabrent 8-Port 252W USB Desktop Charger for $69.99
When it comes to USB hubs and chargers, Sabrent is one of the most popular brands around. Today, Amazon is offering Sabrent's highest end desktop charger, featuring eight USB ports with up to 252W of Power Delivery, for $69.99 after you apply promo code "18QZM9MI". This hub features an informative color LCD display that monitors your charging in real-time, as well as support for PPS and Power Delivery 3.0.
AstroAI L7 Tire Inflator for $23.99
A tire inflator is an essential part of car's emergency kit, but you don't need to pay a premium price for a fancy one. Amazon is offering this AstroAI L7 cordless tire inflator for $23.99 after you clip a 25% off coupon code. This isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen, but it's still a great price for a cordless tire inflator that will get you out of a jam.
50% Off Beats Solo 4 Wireless Headphones
For this week only (and while supplies last), Target is offering a 50% discount on the popular Beats Solo 4 wireless on-ear headphones in warm white (with gold accents). Right now you can get it for just $99.99 (normally $200). The Beats Solo 4 is a very compact and lightweight headphone that can still pack a punch when you need it. It features 40mm drivers, Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Lossless audio via USB Type-C, and up to 50 hours of battery life.
New March Humble Choice Bundle Starts Now
If you're searching for your next new game to play, Humble Choice March is now live, and this is the perfect bundle to discover something new! This month, Homeworld 3 headlines the bundle, with other PC games like Wild Hearts, Pacific Drive, Zau, and Gravity Circuit also included. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars to grab these games individually, you can get all eight games for just $11.99 at Humble Bundle for this month only.
Lenovo LOQ RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $799.99
Best Buy is offering this capable Lenovo LOQ RTX 4060 gaming laptop for only $799.99 shipped. It featuers a 15" 1080p display, AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4060 GPU boasts a 115W TGP (140W with Dynamic Boost) and should be able to comfortably run pretty much any game.
40% Off Shokz OpenRun Pro Sport Headphones
For today only, Best Buy is offering the Shokz OpenRun Pro Open-Ear Wireless Sport Headphones for only $99.99, a savings of 40% off the $160 list price. I've seen this deal pop up at Best Buy a few times in 2024, but no other retailer seems to able to match the price. For example, Amazon still has them for $160. The OpenRun Pro is the best non-earbuds headphones for running. While the AirPods Pro might be an excellent all-around earbud, the OpenRun Pro is a superior sport headphone in situations where you need to be fully aware of your surroundings.
Seagate 24TB External Hard Drive for $280
If you're shopping for a huge amount of local storage, this is one of the best deals available right now. For a limited time, Best Buy is offering this massive Seagate Expansion 24TB USB 3.0 Desktop Hard Drive for only $279.99 shipped. That averages out to a mere $11.67 per TB of storage. The Seagate Expansion houses a single 24TB disk drive so it's no bigger than any other desktop hard drive. It features a USB 3.0 interface with roughly up to 100MB/s transfer speed, which is in line with what you'd expect from a traditional hard drive. It also includes recovery software.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC for $2,400
Starting today, Dell is offering an Alienware Aurora R16 gaming PC equipped with the new GeForce RTX 5080 GPU for just $2,399.99 shipped. This is one of the best prices you can get right now for an RTX 5080 equipped prebuilt, especially since most other brands seem to be jacking up prices steadily since the RTX 50-series launch in January. The only other prebuilt you can get at Dell with an RTX 5080 GPU costs over $4,000. Good luck trying to find a standalone GPU to build out your own DIY PC; you'll probably spend as much for the GPU as you would this entire system.
Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PS5 SSD for $129.99
Samsung's newest SSD - the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe solid state drive - is on sale today for $129.99, which is actually lower than what I saw during Black Friday. This is an excellent drive for both your gaming PC and your PlayStation 5 console, with speeds of up to 7,250 read and 6,300MB/s write. This is a much faster drive than the 990 Evo non-Pro but not quite as fast as the 990 Pro. The main difference between this drive and the more expensive 990 Pro is that this is a DRAM-less drive. Because it is a single-sided SSD, it is power efficient and doesn't generate much heat, so you probably don't need to stick a heatsink on it, although you certainly could for peace of mind.
