Amazon Prime Day 2023 is just about here (July 11-12)--but Best Buy isn’t one to be left out of the fun. From now through Wednesday, you can cash in on huge savings during its Black Friday in July event. Video games, TVs, laptops, gaming accessories, and more are included in the catalog, making this a great time to cross items off your shopping list and upgrade your old electronics.

Gaming laptops are a big part of Best Buy’s latest event. And surprisingly, the Alienware m15 R7 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop is seeing one of the biggest discounts. Not only is it built to the high standards of Alienware, but it comes with the powerful RTX 3070 Ti. Typically sold for $2,100, right now you can snag it for $1,400. So if you’re in the market for a top-of-the-line gaming rig, be sure to take a closer look. If you want the RTX 3070 Ti and don’t mind losing the Alienware styling, you’ll find the Acer Nitro 5 15.6-Inch Gaming Laptop for $1,000 (down from $1,300).

Plenty of Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X games are on sale, too. The particularly great deals can be found on Nintendo Switch exclusives, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Strikers: Battle League, Super Mario Odyssey, and Yoshi's Crafted World.

My Best Buy Plus/Total members can get exclusive discounts on games and tech. For instance, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is down to $30 for members. In fact, all Nintendo Switch games, physical and digital, are eligible for B2G1 free at Best Buy. Members can get a free $50 gift card with the purchase of a Nintendo Switch (non-members get a $25 gift card) and a $30 discount on the Xbox Series X
