Amazon Prime Day starts on July 16, but that’s not stopping merchants — including Amazon — from throwing in some great deals early. Walmart, for example, is hosting its own sale event with some incredible discounts that we think will beat any equivalent deals during Amazon’s first-day sale. We’ve picked the ten best deals you can get right now, today.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons + Super Mario Party for $69
Official Nintendo Switch Joy cons don’t get discounted very often, but Walmart is bucking that trend. Right now they have Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons bundled with Super Mario Party for just $69. This bundle usually retails for $99, and the cost goes up even more if you buy each item separately. This bundle includes a pair of exclusive Mario Red/Blue Nintendo Joy-Con controllers and the Super Mario Party game.
Apple AirPods Pro with USB Type-C for $169
Apple AirPods Pro USB Type-C Truly Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones
31
Amazon has discounted the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro truly wireless noise-canceling headphones with the universal device USB Type-C connector at just $169, a savings of $80. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen and beats last year’s Black Friday deal. AirPods Pro is our top pick for the best AirPods of 2024 and a no-brainer for any iPhone user.
PS5 DualSense Edge Controller for $174.99
PS5 DualSense Edge Controller

Walmart is offering the PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Pro Controller for $174.99. That’s 13% off the $200 MSRP, which might not sound like a lot, but the DualSense Edge almost never gets discounted. This is a pro-grade controller for the PS5 console, just like the Xbox Elite for Series X. Check out our IGN review.
Nintendo Switch Lite with Animal Crossing for $159
Nintendo Switch Lite (Timmy & Tommy’s Aloha Edition) Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bundle

Walmart continues to be aggressive with its gaming deals. This time it’s the Nintendo Switch Lite console (Timmy’s and Tommy’s Aloha Edition) for just $159. It normally retails for $199, which was already a great deal because it includes the full Animal Crossing: New Horizons game.
iBUYPOWER TraceMesh RTX 4060 Gaming PC for $699

Walmart has just dropped the price of this iBUYPOWER TraceMesh RTX 4060 gaming PC to just $699, a whopping $300 price drop from its $999 MSRP. That’s actually $100 cheaper than when this deal first appeared on July 8th. This PC is an excellent choice for a 1080p gaming rig. TraceMesh is our best budget gaming PC of 2024.

Ahead of Prime Day, Walmart and Amazon are both offering the Meta Quest 3 128GB VR headset for just $429, a 15% discount from its original MSRP of $499. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen for Meta’s latest VR headset, and it’s unlikely to be beaten on Prime Day. We chose the Quest 3 as the best VR headset of 2024.

As part of its Black Friday in July sales, Dell is knocking $200 off the Alienware AW3225QF 32″ 4K QD OLED Gaming Monitor 2024. It’s normally $1,199.99, but today you can get it for $999.99. This is one of the few QD 4K QD gaming monitors under 42″ on the market, and at this price it is easily one of the least expensive. If you’re looking for the best gaming monitor for 2024, this one should definitely be on your short list.
