Update (12/12/22 3:13AM ET)The Amazon Prime Day early access event is still going strong through Day 2. Many of yesterday’s best deals are still in stock and some have fallen further in price. As always, we keep updating this list regularly throughout the day, looking for the best deals that come up and highlighting them so you don’t have to.
Original post (10/11/22 3:00 AM ET): The Amazon Prime Day sales event came and went last July, as it has every year since 2015. The two-day shopping event is exclusively for Amazon Prime members and features thousands of products covering all categories. This year, the company rolled out another sales event on the calendar from October 11-12 called the “Prime Early Access Sale.” Supposed to anticipate the holiday shopping season, it’s a smaller, albeit still massive discount event on thousands of items.
To be clear, Amazon remains a giant that has (and still does) manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the manyAnd the many The stuff is cash-worthy, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded with a lot of unwanted offers and misleading “discounts” that don’t make the products much cheaper than they usually are. Like Prime Day, these deals vary widely in value. But among the tens of thousands of items for sale, there are some really good deals on a lot of the items and categories we cover here at Ars.
We’ve spent several hours combing through the offerings to compile a list of the best values available. Many of the items are hardware that we’ve reviewed well here at Ars, while the rest are well-reviewed on many of the review sites we trust. using tools like kibia And the camel camel camelWe have verified that the deals below are offering prices that are lower or lower than they have been in the past three to six months. Many of them match the kinds of discounts you’ll see during other major sales events like Black Friday and Internet Monday.
The comprehensive tour below will be updated periodically throughout each day of the event to reflect changes in inventory, pricing and additional deals.
