The best early Prime Day 2024 deals

Prime Day doesn’t officially kick off until July 16, but it seems Amazon didn’t get the memo and is rolling out some awesome deals early. Some of our favorite games, accessories, collectibles, and toys are already on sale ahead of the main event happening in mid-July.

Highlights include discounts on the Modern Horizons 3 bundle for Magic: The Gathering, the Dune: War for Arrakis tabletop game, and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless gaming headset, as well as dozens of deals on our favorite movies and games.

Naturally, we’ll monitor all the best deals ahead of Prime Day and update this page accordingly.
