Prime Day 2019 best gaming deals: Nintendo Switch $329, Xbox $299 bundles available now

Amazon's Prime Day 2019 has stretched from one day to two -- July 15 and 16 -- and it's got everything a video game lover could wish for. We've found some of the best gaming Prime Day sales and other general discounts that are worth considering and put them right here in a handy list. You're welcome.

And it's not just Amazon Prime Day deals either. Amazon's event has triggered competing deal days at retailers such as Target, Walmart and eBay. Meanwhile, manufacturers are running sales on their own sites, and some of them are pretty good.

If you're looking for more deals, our sister site GameSpot has its own lists specifically for the PS4, Nintendo Switch and more. And maybe consider going old school with Prime Day deals on tabletop games.

This is the return of Walmart's "build a bundle" deal from Black Friday. The base price of $299 isn't great -- you can often find Xbox One S bundles with games for closer to $249 -- but Walmart: 1. Lets you choose which game bundle you want: NBA 2K19, Battlefield V, Fortnite, Forza Horizon 4 or Minecraft. 2. Throws in an extra controller, so you get a total of two controllers. 3. Also includes your choice of a HyperX or (for an additional $10) Turtle Beach headset. So, all in all, not too shabby if you're coming to the Xbox for the first time.

As with the Xbox bundle, this is less about a deep discount, and more about getting a bunch of extras thrown in. For $30 over the usual price of a Switch, you get: 1. A Switch console in your choice of colors. 2. Your choice of one of five games: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 or Super Mario Party (all of these usually cost $50 to $60). 3. Your choice of a free accessory: a portable power bank, a carrying case/screen protector combo or a camo messenger bag. Just remember that the Switch Lite is coming in two months for $200, if you'd prefer to wait.

Though I'm not a big fan of Corsair's clunky iCue software, the keyboard itself is pretty nice -- it's got Cherry MX Speed switches with double-shot keycaps, a volume roller, an aluminum frame with a USB passthrough port and onboard memory for profile storage. While this isn't a Prime Day-specific deal, it is an all-time low price -- as long as you like white, because the black version is still about $10 more. Note this deal sold out and has come back at a higher price, but stock won't be ready until Aug. 12.

This deal is no longer available. Nvidia just replaced several of its GeForce RTX models with "Super" versions, but the old 2070's performance is still in the same ballpark as the more expensive 2070 Super and close enough to the 2060 Super for 1080p or 1440p gaming for the right price. Which this is -- especially since the 2060 Supers are still only available for preorder and even then you'll have to wait for the user complaints to start rolling in if you're a cautious buyer. This one's a known quantity with solid reviews.
