Summary
Both Amazon andTargetcurrently have a “buy 2, get 1 free” sale going on that will be appealing to many gamers looking for a good deal. Given the rising costs of video games, be it the jump to a base price of $70 or the trend toward monetized live-service, those who enjoy the hobby are always looking for an inexpensive way to add to their collection. If it’s not free from the Epic Games Store, for example, a decent sale from a retailer like Target orAmazonwill suffice.
Thesale at Targetwill end on July 13 and, according to search results, includes 629 video game titles. The prices begin at $9.99, for games like thecyberpunk shooter RPGThe AscentandHokko Life,and range up to non-discounted AAA titles likeGod of War Ragnarok, The Last of Us Part 1,andDragon’s Dogma 2.What many people will find most interesting is that the Target sale also includes some collector’s and deluxe editions that might be worth throwing into their cart.Dying Light 2 Stay Human,Persona 3 Reload, Dredge,andAmong Usall have limited editions up for grabs.
Amazon’s saleis phrased a bit differently but amounts to the same thing. The “get 3 for the price of 2” event at the online retail giant doesn’t have a clear end date, so it’s a good idea to jump in right way if a deal is particularly appealing. Unlike Target’s more than 600 games, Amazon has about 35 titles in the pot, but some of them still merit a look. These include2023’sResident Evil 4remake,Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos,and theShadows Over LoathingCollector’s Edition for PS4.
Though the selection at Amazon is very limited, it’s still worth a quick browse in case there’s overlap between the two sites. For example,Capcom’s action RPGDragon’s Dogma 2is part of both “both 2, get 1 free” events. However, it’s full price at Target and currently on sale on Amazon. So, if two additional games seem worth picking up from Bezos’ site, buyers might end up getting a better deal there.
