How we picked the best Prime Day gaming deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for several years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. During this time, we learned how to identify the best deals in a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and only found the best deals from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews, and remaining sale time when choosing video game deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check the price history of products listed as on sale to know when it is an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are very important for any product. A discount isn't worth it if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining sales time is also important. Some offers only exist for a short period of time or may be in limited supply. If this is the case, we will let you know in advance so you don't come back to the deal later and be disappointed.
