Best Buy is actually beating Amazon for PS5 deals ahead of Prime Day

Dead Island 2 | $29.99 $19.99 at Best Buy
Save $10 - Dead Island 2 has dropped to just $19.99 at Best Buy today - beating Amazon's price by a full $40. This is still a full-priced game over at Bezos's site - weird considering it's taken a pretty permanent price cut over the last six months. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You liked the previous releases
✅ You like melee combat
✅ You want some comedy with your slashing

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't like gore 

Price check: Amazon: $69.99

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 | $39.99 $19.99 at Best Buy
Save $20 - Best Buy has $20 off this Metal Gear Solid bumper pack, whereas Amazon has only been able to muster a $54.99 price tag. You're much better off going with the big yellow label here. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You want to play the originals
✅ You're prepping for Snake Eater 2024
✅ You want plenty of play time for your cash

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't like stealth mechanics

Price check: Amazon: $54.99

Sackboy: A Big Adventure | $59.99 $19.99 at Best Buy
Save $40 - It's been a long time coming, but Sackboy: A Big Adventure has finally dropped to $19.99. This is a record-low price on the co-op platformer (a personal favorite in my collection). Amazon is a little behind here, as well, only dropping the game to $39.95 ahead of Prime Day. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You liked Little Big Planet
✅ You want PS5 couch co-op gameplay
✅ You're a platformer fan 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You don't like sidescrolling as much 

Price check: Amazon: $39.95

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection | $49.99 $19.99 at Best Buy
Save $30 - Legacy of Thieves is always found in the bargain bin during Prime Day, but Best Buy is getting in there first this year. I don't see prices lower than this $19.99 position on this title during major sales events (and it's not to be taken for granted. If memory serves we only hit $24.99 over Black Friday).

Buy it if: 

✅ You've played Uncharted 1-3
✅ You want access to The Lost Legacy
✅ You like action adventure

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You haven't played the earlier games yet

Price check: Amazon: $32.99

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor | $69.99 $27.99 at Best Buy
Save $42 - This is one I expect will drop its price at Amazon when Prime Day officially rolls in - but why wait when Best Buy can net you a $42 discount already? Amazon is stuck at $46.50 here, whereas Best Buy is at a record-low price. 

Buy it if: 

✅ You like action adventure
✅ You want a story-driven game
✅ You're a Star Wars fan 

Don't buy it if: 

❌ You want to start with Fallen Order 

Price check: Amazon: $46.50
