There is an elephant in the room. It is called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Lots of people are playing an unhealthy amount this weekend, including many of us at Polygon. If you’re not, don’t worry. We know some of you are looking for deals on other non-Zelda related stuff, so that’s what we want to provide here (we’ll mention Zelda just a few more times).
Below are some of this week’s top gaming and entertainment deals, including which products lit up the sales charts, in case you’re curious about what other people have on their respective radars. Some of the products worth checking out this weekend include the LG C2 OLEDa complete box set of Tintin paperbacksand a big sale Criterion collection movies.
This week’s best gaming deals
One of our favorite Xbox Series X accessories, the Xbox wireless headset, is currently discounted to $85 at Amazon (normally $100), which is rare for this model. This headset is worth buying if you’re always gaming on the Xbox as it connects easily to your console and it has Bluetooth to take calls or let you listen to music. It also boasts surprisingly good sound quality, they’re comfortable to wear and they offer some clever game/chat volume controls integrated into the earcups.
If you’re looking for a TV with gaming chops, you can’t go wrong with the LG C2 OLED. Normally priced at $2,499.99, Woot has discounted the 65-inch model to just $1,394.99 through May 14, or until stocks run out. OLED TVs deliver unbeatable contrast and accurate lighting in any scene, and the C2 sets itself apart from other OLED TVs with gaming-focused features like AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync adaptive sync technology for console and PC. For more technical details, we recommend the in-depth review of the C2 OLED on our sister site, The edge.
You can pre-order the Asus ROG Ally handheld PC right now for $700. Polygon editor-in-chief Chris Plante compared it a lot to the Steam Deck in his review, which you should read. But understandably, some people want devices with a physical keyboard and a larger screen. If you fit into the latter category, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i laptop might suit you better, with its large 16-inch, 1600p display.
Normally available for $1,749, you can currently pick up the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060-equipped model at B&H’s photo for just $1,399. In addition to its moderately powerful (but still midrange) GPU, the Pro 5i also packs 32GB of fast DDR5 RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and a 13th Gen Intel CPU.
2020 and 2021 gamers must be absolutely furious that you can now easily get a PlayStation 5 at Best Buy bundled with God of War Ragnarok, And that it is discounted to $509.99 (normally $559.99).
This deal first came into being in late March, with a tentative expiration date of mid-April. Here we were in May, and we’re not mad it’s still happening. It’s a golden opportunity if you’re one of the few people still willing to bring home a PS5. Just don’t forget to buy a PS5-ready SSD, and maybe the PSVR 2 headphones while you’re at it.
If you are curious to try out a new TTRPG system, Humble is currently with the Star Finder Solidarity bundle, the proceeds of which go to The Trevor Project. At the $5 commitment level, you get access to PDF versions of the Star Finder Core Rulebookare Alien Archivethe beginners box and other useful extras to get you started. While you are always free to pay what you want, a contribution of at least $5 will get you access to a total of 27 PDFs, in addition to a physical hardback copy of the Star Finder Alien Archive 2and the Star Finder Critical hit deck. It’s a combined value of $423.
