If you want a peek at some of the best Amazon Prime Day deals before the Prime Big Deal Days event, you’re in the right place.

Amazon’s 48-hour October Prime Day sale officially kicks off later at midnight PT / 3 a.m. ET, but there are always a few waves of deals released early to whet our appetites.

We’ll be here throughout the entire event, primarily looking for discounts on items we’ve personally tested here on the Reviews team, and would recommend as quality products.

As this is a Prime event, do remember most discounts are exclusively reserved for Prime members. If you’re not currently signed up, there’s a 30-day free trial.

The best Amazon Prime Day deals

Keep checking in on our curated deals list below, as we’ll be updating it throughout the event with our latest Prime Day picks.

Tech and gaming Prime Day deals

This will be one of the busiest sections of the October Prime Day sale, and some absolute bangers are live already. I’m especially pleased to see the PS5 make a return to Dealsville. A $50 discount with no free game might not seem like that much to shout about, but it’s the only deal on the PS5 that we’ve seen in months. And given that the console has been going up in price around the world lately, we’d be tempted to jump on this now. You’ll also find some great early deals from Apple and Amazon’s own line of Echo devices.

PS5 slim with disc drive


Sony PS5 Slim

The PS5 is one of the best consoles thanks to its powerful hardware, exclusives, and 4K Blu-ray drive. Though it costs $50 more than the digital-edition PS5, this model lets you play game discs. This slim version of the console is also slightly smaller than the original and has 1TB of storage.

Amazon Prime Day FAQs

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day technically landed in July of this year, but if you’re thinking about Amazon Prime Big Deal Days like we are, it officially kicks off on October 8. It’s another 48-hour event that lasts through the 9th.

What should I buy for Amazon Prime Day?

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with deals during Prime Day, so it’s important to stay focused on what’s actually worth your time. TVs, tech devices, home goods, fashion, hygiene, travel, and beauty products are all popular categories you can find on sale during the event, and we’ll be highlighting the best of the best here.

In terms of what isn’t on sale, it’s unlikely that we’ll see large appliances like fridges and dishwashers on sale. Products that aren’t for sale on Amazon, like direct-to-consumer style brands, are also going to be harder to find.

Who can shop Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is one of the many benefits of Prime membership, meaning non-members are locked out of the discounts.
