Exclusive discounts

My Best Buy members can unlock exclusive offers like additional gift cards on top of Nintendo Switch 2, TV, and AirPods deals.

View My Best Buy Plus memberships

Prime Day officially lands next week, but Best Buy is busting out the big guns early with its own competing sale. The retailer has launched hundreds of discounts for this weekend, officially sitting as its 4th of July sale, though this round of offers will come to an end on Sunday.

Never fear, though. I'm confident we'll see these, and more, anti-Prime Day deals running us all the way through next week. As in previous years, Best Buy's jumped early with its current offers but these discounts will likely turn into its annual Black Friday in July sale come Monday.

I've rounded up all the biggest deals in Best Buy's 4th of July sale just below, and the best part is these offers extend to anyone. Like Amazon, this retailer is keeping some of its hottest discounts back for members, so it's well worth exploring My Best Buy Plus subscriptions if you're sticking with the yellow label for this year's event.

Early Best Buy Prime Day deals available now

  • PS5: games from $9.99
  • Switch: controllers from $29.99
  • Xbox: games from $4.99
  • Headsets: starting from $13.99
  • Keyboards: HyperX from $37.99
  • Laptops: starting from $529.99
  • Mice: SteelSeries from $19.99
  • Monitors: Samsung from $129.99
  • PCs: HP Omen from $789.99
  • Phones: up to $400 off Samsung
  • SSDs: Samsung from $79.99
  • TVs: 4K from $189.99

KontrolFreek Lotus Edition thumbstick toppers | $16.99 $9.99 at Best Buy
Save $7 - Thumbstick toppers are a must when I'm topping up on accessories ahead of Prime Day, and this Lotus Edition set is down to under $10 at Best Buy right now. They'll add a little height to your sticks, but the real beauty comes from that grippier texture.

Save $20 - The SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds rarely see discounts. These are excellent little earbuds designed for music, gaming, streaming, and everything in between. Best Buy has a $20 discount on that $199.99 MSRP and, while small, that's one of the best savings I've seen so far.

Save $350 - The HP Omen Transcend 14 is $350 off this week, dropping the cheaper RTX 5060 configuration down to $1,479.99. That's a fantastic rate for a newly released machine, and one with 32GB RAM and an OLED display no less. This is the best price I've seen on this particular configuration.

When will Best Buy's 4th of July sale end?

Best Buy's current 4th of July sale will come to an end on Sunday July 6, but the savings will likely continue to compete with Amazon's Prime Day event next week.

Should you wait for Amazon Prime Day?

If what you need isn't currently on sale in Best Buy's offers, it's worth holding off until next week. Amazon (and competing retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg) will launch even more discounts after the weekend.

However, if you spot a price you like now, there's no guarantee that it will be cheaper (or even still on sale) for Prime Day. In my experience, very few products featured in early anti-Prime Day deals see additional discounts during the main event. Just like Black Friday, retailers tend to launch early savings that reflect similar price cuts to what we'll see on the day itself, and then rotate them in the lead up.

  • View the full sale at Best Buy
  • Check out Amazon's early discounts
  • See Walmart's weekend savings

Of course, we're also getting you prepped for Amazon Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals and Prime Day PS5 deals as well. Or, take a look at all the biggest Prime Day gaming deals available now.
