Many of yesterday’s best deals are still in stock and some have even dropped further in price. As always, we continue to update this list regularly throughout the day, sifting through to find and highlight the best deals cropping up so you don’t have to.
Original post (10/11/22 3:00 am ET): Amazon’s Prime Day sales event came and went this past July, as it has every year since 2015. The two-day shopping event is exclusively for Amazon Prime members and features thousands of products spanning all categories. This year, the company has plopped another sales event on the calendar from October 11 through 12 called the “Prime Early Access Sale.” Meant to preempt the holiday shopping season, it’s a smaller, albeit still massive discount event on thousands of items.
To be clear, Amazon remains a behemoth that has done (and continues to do)many, many, many, many, many, many,many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, manythings worthy of criticism, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded up with a lot of junk offers and misleading “discounts” that don’t make products significantly cheaper than they usually are. Much like Prime Day, these deals range widely in their value. But among the literal tens of thousands of sale items, there are some genuinely good deals on a lot of the items and categories we cover here at Ars.
We spent several hours combing through the offers to compile a list of the best values available. Many of the items are devices we’ve reviewed well here at Ars, while the rest have been well-reviewed at multiple review sites we trust. Using tools like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel, we verified that the deals below offer prices as low or lower than they’ve been in the past three to six months. Many of these match the types of discounts you’ll see during other major sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The comprehensive roundup below will be updated periodically throughout each day of the event to reflect changes in stock, pricing, and additive deals.
