Samsung's 49-inch Odyssey G9 (G95C) and its Odyssey OLED G9 (G91SD) both cost $899.99 on Amazon at the time of writing.

Intel's unit sales of desktop processors on Amazon US rose 52.9% from July to August 2026, according to figures compiled by the X account TechEpiphany.

AMD's answer to NVIDIA's DLSS 5 will "probably" be exclusive to its next-generation RDNA 5 graphics cards, according to the pseudonymous leaker Kepler_L2.

Amazon is selling the Skytech Crystal gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 5060 Ti 8GB and 32GB of DDR4 for $1,299.99, $100 below its $1,399.99 list price. The catch is the graphics card: Skytech's own store lists a build with the same CPU and the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti for $1,199.99, although that one is out of stock. The Skytech Crystal's glass

LG's 55-inch QNED73B mini-LED TV (model 55QNED73BUA) is down to $379.99 on Amazon, $120 below its $499.99 list price.

Marathon creative director Julia Nardin has publicly denied a leak claiming Bungie plans to merge Destiny and Marathon into a single IP, calling it "fake" in a post on X.

The NINGMEI gaming PC with a Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 5060 is listed at $1,399.99 on Amazon at the time of writing.

The ASUS ProArt Display PA32UCR-K is $799.00 on Amazon at the time of writing, $200 below the listing's $999.00 reference price. The bigger story is what ships in the box: a 576-zone mini-LED monitor with an X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter, so the calibration hardware is not a separate purchase.

Amazon is selling the Corsair HS65 Surround wired gaming headset for $59.99 at the time of writing, down from a $69.99 list price. The bigger story is the launch math: that price sits 25% below the $79.99 MSRP Corsair set in 2022, not just the 14% Amazon shows. Corsair's surround graphic notes that Dolby Audio needs iCUE software on PC and Mac. Image: Corsair

The THUNDEROBOT Radiant 16 gaming laptop with a Core i9-13900HX and an RTX 5070 Laptop GPU is listed at $1,899.00 on Amazon at the time of writing.

The KTC H27P6 27-inch dual-mode gaming monitor is $260.09 on Amazon, 28% below the $359.99 list price on that listing.
