Update (07/12/22 12:30 pm ET): We've completed a major update to our mega-list of Prime Day deals, updating prices, noting expired offers, and adding more than 30 new deals. The additions include a host of discounted board games we recommend, a handful of first-party PlayStation 5 accessories, highly-rated TVs from LG and Hisense, well-reviewed NASes from Synology, an excellent budget pair of noise-canceling headphones from Anker, fast SSDs, and more. We've marked the latest discounts with the "NEW" tag below, and we'll continue keeping our roundup up-to-date as the day rolls along.
Original post (07/12/22 3:50 am ET): Tuesday marks the start of Amazon Prime Day, a two-day shopping event Amazon created in 2015 to bolster its Prime subscription service, which is required to shop most (but not all) of the discounts available during the promotion, and help gin up sales during a typically slow period for online shopping.
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, many things worthy of criticism, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded up with a particularly high number of offers on junky products and misleading "discounts" that don't make products significantly cheaper than they usually are.
