  • Elden Ring’s Festering Fingerprint Vyke Statue Coming Soon to the IGN Store

    Elden Ring’s latest officially licensed merchandise is available to pre-order on the IGN Store beginning this Friday, July 15th at 12:00 AM PT. This statue is the first release in the S.H.Figuarts Elden Ring set and is based on the notorious world invader, Festering Fingerprint Vyke.

    Elden Ring: Festering Fingerprint Vyke Statue

    First encountered outside the Church of Inhibition, Festering Fingerprint Vyke would invade players’ worlds along with his signature War Spear to harass players with plenty of Frenzy-inducing spells that would drive just about anyone mad.

    This statue stands at just over six inches in height and features a fully articulating figure along with Vyke’s War Spear, three pairs of optional hands, and a variant of Vyke’s War Spear featuring The Flame of Frenzy visual effects.

    Check out the gallery below to see some high-resolution images of the Festering Fingerprint Vyke statue now available in the IGN Store:

    The Elden Ring Festering Fingerprint Vyke statue will cost $74.99 and is expected to ship out in Early 2023.

For a limited time, you get a bigger 10% cashback on LG OLED TVs, including this one. That means you’ll be getting about $240 back on this particular TV and your final price will essentially be $2159.99. You will only see this deal IF you have the Amazon Prime Card. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED panels offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and super fast response times.

The LG OLED TV boasts several generations of optimizations under its belt and the latest C1 model is future proofed with technology like HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz), variable refresh rate, G-SYNC, the newest LG A9 Gen4 processor and a revamped webOS smart TV interface.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    Sony’s 55″ OLED TV dropped in price today; whereas normally Sony OLEDs are pricier than LG OLEDs, that’s not the case right now. The Sony A80J is $100 less than LG’s 55″ C1 and $800 less than LG’s 55″ C2. The A80J is a true OLED 4K TV with near infinite contrast ratios, best-in-class black levels, excellent color rendition, and super fast response times. It also supports 4K @ 120Hz over HDMI 2.1.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    You will only see this deal IF you have the Amazon Prime Card. That means you’ll be getting about $90 back on this particular TV. Yes this is a TV, but it happens to be one of the best gaming PC monitors as well. It’s hundreds of dollars cheaper than the other highest end gaming monitors like the Samsung Neo G9 49″ Mini LED or the Alienware 34″ QD-OLED gaming monitor, and is arguably better. It has HDMI 2.1 ports to support 4K @ 120Hz if you have a GeForce RTX 30 series video card, as well as variable refresh rate and G-SYNC. I have personally been using an older 48″ LG CX OLED TV (2020) for a few years now, and I’ll never go back to a tradional LED LCD monitor. If the time comes where I’ll have to replace or upgrade my monitor, I’ll definitely continue to spring for a 4K OLED monitor. If that were to happen right this minute, I’d pick this one up without hesitation.

This is an excelelnt TV to pair with your PS5 or Xbox Series X.

    Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16″ RTX 3060 Gaming Laptop for $1199, RTX 3070 for $1399

    Walmart is offering an outstanding deal on these powerful gaming laptops from Lenovo. Both the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 found in these laptops have a TDP rating of 140W. That is the maximum TDP rating you’ll find for a mobile RTX 3060/3070 graphics card, meaning there are the one of the most powerful RTX 3060/3070 gaming laptops you can get. Higher TDP means more power is supplied to the graphics card, and that directly equates to better performance in games.

    New Speed Champ: 2TB SK Hynix P41 M.2 SSD

    Currently Amazon is offering an extra 15% off the SK Hynx P41 2TB model. The SK Hynix P41 is a recently released PS5 compatible SSD that happens to be the fastest consumer PCE 4.0 SSD drive on the market right now. Speed benchmarks consistently exceed its rated specs and it performs better than other comparable SSDs from WD, Seagate, Samsung, and more. SK Hynix might not be a household brand name, but they are in no way a fledgeling company. SK Hynix is the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker and the world’s third-largest semiconductor company.

    32″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 4K Quantum Dot Mini-LED Gaming Monitor for $1099.99

    Samsung has released its second Mini-LED gaming monitor. The Neo G7 is the smaller sized sibling o the Neo G9 at “only” 32 inches (vs 49 inches) and commands a $1000 cheaper MSRP ($1299 vs $2299). So what makes this monitor worth the price? The main thing is the Mini LED display. Mini LED backlights are much smaller and more precise than traditional LED backlights, which means greater contrast ratio, deeper black levels, higher brightness (up to an incredible 2,000 nits), and better HDR than traditional displays. You’ll find Mini LED panels only in the higher end 4K TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ XDR display, the priciest iPad on the market.

    Samsung EVO Select 512GB Micro SDXC Card (Nintendo Switch Compatible) for $54.99

    This is a great card for your Nintendo Switch storage. The console only comes with 32GB of built-in storage. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, already takes up 14GB of storage by itself. The Samsung EVO Select is faster than your average Micro SDXC card (including the Nintendo branded ones) so it’s also a great choice for devices that can take advantage of its faster speed, like a phone or camera.

    New Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

    If you regret not picking the Airpods Pro up on Black Friday, here’s your chance to get it today at the same price. This is the newest generation model with the MagSafe compatible wireless charger. The AirPods Pro is considered one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear headphones you can get, especially for under $200. The noise cancellation is considered to be even better than the Bose Quietcomfort because of the natural noise isolating design of the in-ear earbuds. If isolation and sound quality are of utmost important to you, then it’s easily worth the upgrade over the AirPods 3.

    HP Reverb G2 VR Headset

    The Reverb G2 normally sells for $599, but the HP Store has it for $200 off. That makes it the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 256gb model but with some significant upgrades under the hood. The Reverb G2 sports the second highest resolution of any VR headset with 2160×2160 pixels per eye (even more than the already impressive Quest 2’s 1832×1920 resolution), manual IPD adjustment, a far more robust headstrap than the Quest 2, inside-out tracking that doesn’t require external sensors, and off-ear headphones so they don’t get as grimy and maintains your peripheral hearing.

    Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda

The Game & Watch is a miniature retro handheld game system that comes preloaded with The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

    55″ Hisense U8G 4K Android TV for $599

    HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz

    Thie Hisense U8G is a fantastic TV at a budget price. It’s one of the highest end TVs that Hisense sells and its picture quality competes with the top-end LED LCD TV models from Samsung, LG, and Sony. The U8G is the 2021 model that replaces the 2020 U9G. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel so it can push 4K @ 120Hz with PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. It does a great job at displaying HDR content thanks to its high peak brightness and excellent black levels. It also makes a good gaming TV since it has a fast response time. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a bad TV because of the brand; it’s one of the best 55″ TV you’ll find in this price range.

    4 Free Months of Amazon Music Unlimited

    Log into your Amazon Prime account to see this deal

You get access to millions of songs similar to other streaming services like Spotify or Pandora. You can choose from preset playlists for pick out specific songs and build your own. Since music streaming services can rack up in price and don’t offer too many discounts or free months, this is a deal worth signing up for.

    3 Free Months of Audible Premium Plus

    Log into your Amazon Prime account to see this deal

    This is another targeted deal for Amazon Prime members who have never subscribed for the Audible Premium Plus service. That’s right, no hidden fees, no cost, just a straight-up 3-month free trial including three audiobooks of your choosing. That’s an outstanding deal considering the membership would usually set you back $14.95 per month, so in total you’re saving almost $45 overall on the service.

    Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3080 Gaming PC for $1673

    Amazon has the best price on this RTX 3080 equipped Alienware Aurora gaming PC. It’s $150 cheaper than getting the same configuration from Dell directly even compared to Dell’s sale price. In addition to the powerful RTX 3080 GPU, this PC boasts a liquid-cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-core processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

    Dell S2721DGF 27″ 1440p GSYNC Gaming Monitor

    This excellent monitor has hit a new price low for Black Friday. It’s one of the best 27″ gaming monitors you can buy for under $500. The S2721DGF boasts a high quality IPS panel (better than the VA panel found on the popular S3220DGF model). It features wide viewing angles and excellent color rendition including 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, a super fast 1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate through the DisplayPort. It’s also FreeSync Premium Pro and G-SYNC compatible.

    Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for $769.99

    These are easily the best prices we’ve seen for an RTX 3080 video card since launch. At this price point, the RTX 3080 is a better value than the 3080 Ti, which costs at least $250 more at reputable vendors. The performance gap between the 3080 and 3080 Ti is about 3%, hardly noticeable. The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s flagship RTX 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K.

    Razer Iskur X Gaming Chair

    The price of the Razer Iskur chair has dropped by a whopping $150 down to $249.99. This is a fantastic price for a Razer Iskur gaming chair. The Iskur X model is very similar to the original Iskur model. It lacks the adjustable lumbar spline and has 2D armrests instead of 3D, but the build quality and premium materials are identical. It’s a superior chair than Razer’s economically priced Enki chair, and with this discount it’s cheaper too! The Razer Iskur commands a high retail price tag for a reason; it’s well-engineered with plenty of high quality materials and usable features. It’s upholstered in multi-layered synthetic leather that’s more durable than PU leather. There’s also plenty of high density foam cushioning to keep you comfortable during intense gaming marathons.

    New 2022 Apple MacBook Pro 13″ M2 Laptop

The new M2 chip is reported to be about 18% more powerful than the previous generation M1 chip, which was already a speed demon for its price range. The M2 chip is also extremely power efficient, with this laptop boasting up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge. In addition to the new M2 CPU, this laptop features a gorgeous 13″ Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and P3 wide color, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

    $70 Off the Apple Watch Series 7

    $50 Off the Apple Watch SE

    The Series 7 is Apple’s latest and greatest watch. The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it’s 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG. It’s inarguably the best smartwatch on the market right now. If you don’t need the health related features, you can save $100 and go with the Apple Watch SE instead. Despite the low price tag, this watch is still big on features, such as a large Retina OLED display, 2x faster CPU than the Series 3, heart rate monitoring, GPS, swimproof design, haptic feedback, and more.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X

    For many of you who have been patiently waiting for the LG Evo C2 42″ 4K OLED TV, now you can rejoice. The majority of the 2022 Evo C2 lineup had been released earlier in the year, but for whatever reason LG had decided to hold off on its new 42″ size until now. This highly anticipated TV is finally orderable on Amazon and ships immediately. The 42″ replaces LG’s 48″ as its smallest 4K OLED TV on the market. It performs just as well as its larger sized siblings as a gaming TV, but where it really shines is as a gaming monitor for your PC.

    65″ TCL 4-Series 4K Roku TV for $398

    55″ for $298

    For most people, the two biggest priorities for a TV are (1) price and (2) size. That’s why a TV like this TCL 4-series is so popular; if you’re looking specifically for a 65″ or 55″ TV, you’d be hard pressed to find a lower price. This TCL TV offers solid picture quality without burning a hole in your wallet, and it even has built-in Roku smart TV functionality. It might not look as good as a $1500 TV, but you could fund the rest of your home entertainment or gaming system with the amount you just saved.

    Klipsch Promedia 2.1ch Computer Speakers

    Update: This is the newer model with wireless Bluetooth streaming.

The LG OLED TV boasts several generations of optimizations under its belt and the latest C1 model is future proofed with technology like HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz), variable refresh rate, G-SYNC, the newest LG A9 Gen4 processor and a revamped webOS smart TV interface. It’s a perfect matchup for current generation consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

    Alternatively, if you’re not an Amazon Prime cardholder and you don’t want to be, then your next best option is to buy it from Buydig.com for a no-hassles price of $2199.99.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    Sony’s 55″ OLED TV dropped in price today; whereas normally Sony OLEDs are pricier than LG OLEDs, that’s not the case right now. The Sony A80J is $100 less than LG’s 55″ C1 and $800 less than LG’s 55″ C2. The A80J is a true OLED 4K TV with near infinite contrast ratios, best-in-class black levels, excellent color rendition, and super fast response times. It also supports 4K @ 120Hz over HDMI 2.1.

    48″ LG C1 4K OLED Smart Gaming TV for $897 Plus 10% Amazon Cashback for Prime Cardholders

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    You will only see this deal IF you have the Amazon Prime Card. That means you’ll be getting about $90 back on this particular TV. Yes this is a TV, but it happens to be one of the best gaming PC monitors as well. It’s hundreds of dollars cheaper than the other highest end gaming monitors like the Samsung Neo G9 49″ Mini LED or the Alienware 34″ QD-OLED gaming monitor, and is arguably better. It has HDMI 2.1 ports to support 4K @ 120Hz if you have a GeForce RTX 30 series video card, as well as variable refresh rate and G-SYNC. I have personally been using an older 48″ LG CX OLED TV (2020) for a few years now, and I’ll never go back to a tradional LED LCD monitor. If the time comes where I’ll have to replace or upgrade my monitor, I’ll definitely continue to spring for a 4K OLED monitor. If that were to happen right this minute, I’d pick this one up without hesitation.

    Walmart is offering an outstanding deal on these powerful gaming laptops from Lenovo. Both the RTX 3060 and RTX 3070 found in these laptops have a TDP rating of 140W. That is the maximum TDP rating you’ll find for a mobile RTX 3060/3070 graphics card, meaning there are the one of the most powerful RTX 3060/3070 gaming laptops you can get. Higher TDP means more power is supplied to the graphics card, and that directly equates to better performance in games.

    New Speed Champ: 2TB SK Hynix P41 M.2 SSD

    Currently Amazon is offering an extra 15% off the SK Hynx P41 2TB model. The SK Hynix P41 is a recently released PS5 compatible SSD that happens to be the fastest consumer PCE 4.0 SSD drive on the market right now. Speed benchmarks consistently exceed its rated specs and it performs better than other comparable SSDs from WD, Seagate, Samsung, and more. SK Hynix might not be a household brand name, but they are in no way a fledgeling company. SK Hynix is the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker and the world’s third-largest semiconductor company.

    32″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 4K Quantum Dot Mini-LED Gaming Monitor for $1099.99

    Samsung has released its second Mini-LED gaming monitor. The Neo G7 is the smaller sized sibling o the Neo G9 at “only” 32 inches (vs 49 inches) and commands a $1000 cheaper MSRP ($1299 vs $2299). So what makes this monitor worth the price? The main thing is the Mini LED display. Mini LED backlights are much smaller and more precise than traditional LED backlights, which means greater contrast ratio, deeper black levels, higher brightness (up to an incredible 2,000 nits), and better HDR than traditional displays. You’ll find Mini LED panels only in the higher end 4K TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ XDR display, the priciest iPad on the market.

    Samsung EVO Select 512GB Micro SDXC Card (Nintendo Switch Compatible) for $54.99

    This is a great card for your Nintendo Switch storage. The console only comes with 32GB of built-in storage. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, already takes up 14GB of storage by itself. The Samsung EVO Select is faster than your average Micro SDXC card (including the Nintendo branded ones) so it’s also a great choice for devices that can take advantage of its faster speed, like a phone or camera.

    New Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

    If you regret not picking the Airpods Pro up on Black Friday, here’s your chance to get it today at the same price. This is the newest generation model with the MagSafe compatible wireless charger. The AirPods Pro is considered one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear headphones you can get, especially for under $200. The noise cancellation is considered to be even better than the Bose Quietcomfort because of the natural noise isolating design of the in-ear earbuds. If isolation and sound quality are of utmost important to you, then it’s easily worth the upgrade over the AirPods 3.

    HP Reverb G2 VR Headset

    The Reverb G2 normally sells for $599, but the HP Store has it for $200 off. That makes it the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 256gb model but with some significant upgrades under the hood. The Reverb G2 sports the second highest resolution of any VR headset with 2160×2160 pixels per eye (even more than the already impressive Quest 2’s 1832×1920 resolution), manual IPD adjustment, a far more robust headstrap than the Quest 2, inside-out tracking that doesn’t require external sensors, and off-ear headphones so they don’t get as grimy and maintains your peripheral hearing.

    55″ Hisense U8G 4K Android TV for $599

    HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz

It’s one of the highest end TVs that Hisense sells and its picture quality competes with the top-end LED LCD TV models from Samsung, LG, and Sony. The U8G is the 2021 model that replaces the 2020 U9G. It has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel so it can push 4K @ 120Hz with PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. It does a great job at displaying HDR content thanks to its high peak brightness and excellent black levels. It also makes a good gaming TV since it has a fast response time. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a bad TV because of the brand; it’s one of the best 55″ TV you’ll find in this price range.

    Alienware Aurora R10 RTX 3080 Gaming PC for $1673

    Amazon has the best price on this RTX 3080 equipped Alienware Aurora gaming PC. It’s $150 cheaper than getting the same configuration from Dell directly even compared to Dell’s sale price.

    Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GPU for $769.99

    These are easily the best prices we’ve seen for an RTX 3080 video card since launch. At this price point, the RTX 3080 is a better value than the 3080 Ti, which costs at least $250 more at reputable vendors. The performance gap between the 3080 and 3080 Ti is about 3%, hardly noticeable. The 3080 is significantly more powerful than the previous generation’s flagship RTX 2080 SUPER. This is the card you want to get if you plan to game at 4K.

    Razer Iskur X Gaming Chair

    The price of the Razer Iskur chair has dropped by a whopping $150 down to $249.99. This is a fantastic price for a Razer Iskur gaming chair. The Iskur X model is very similar to the original Iskur model. It lacks the adjustable lumbar spline and has 2D armrests instead of 3D, but the build quality and premium materials are identical. It’s a superior chair than Razer’s economically priced Enki chair, and with this discount it’s cheaper too! The Razer Iskur commands a high retail price tag for a reason; it’s well-engineered with plenty of high quality materials and usable features. It’s upholstered in multi-layered synthetic leather that’s more durable than PU leather. There’s also plenty of high density foam cushioning to keep you comfortable during intense gaming marathons.

In addition to the new M2 CPU, this laptop features a gorgeous 13″ Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and P3 wide color, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.

    $70 Off the Apple Watch Series 7

    $50 Off the Apple Watch SE

    The Series 7 is Apple’s latest and greatest watch. The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it’s 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG. It’s inarguably the best smartwatch on the market right now. If you don’t need the health related features, you can save $100 and go with the Apple Watch SE instead. Despite the low price tag, this watch is still big on features, such as a large Retina OLED display, 2x faster CPU than the Series 3, heart rate monitoring, GPS, swimproof design, haptic feedback, and more.

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X

    For many of you who have been patiently waiting for the LG Evo C2 42″ 4K OLED TV, now you can rejoice. The majority of the 2022 Evo C2 lineup had been released earlier in the year, but for whatever reason LG had decided to hold off on its new 42″ size until now. This highly anticipated TV is finally orderable on Amazon and ships immediately. The 42″ replaces LG’s 48″ as its smallest 4K OLED TV on the market. It performs just as well as its larger sized siblings as a gaming TV, but where it really shines is as a gaming monitor for your PC.

    65″ TCL 4-Series 4K Roku TV for $398

    55″ for $298

That’s why a TV like this TCL 4-series is so popular; if you’re looking specifically for a 65″ or 55″ TV, you’d be hard pressed to find a lower price. This TCL TV offers solid picture quality without burning a hole in your wallet, and it even has built-in Roku smart TV functionality. It might not look as good as a $1500 TV, but you could fund the rest of your home entertainment or gaming system with the amount you just saved.
