ByEric Song

Mar 12, 2020

There are a lot of big games coming out in March and April for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One consoles. Fortunately, you don’t have to pay full price for any of them. If you want to be one of the first to get your hands on Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3, or Persona 5 Royal, you’ll actually be saving some money. Other standout deals today include a hefty discount on the 1-year PS Plus membership, the lowest price we’ve seen for an Xbox One X console, and some new Alienware gaming laptop price drops.

Out 3/20: Preorder Animal Crossing for Switch, Get $10 in Best Buy Credit

This is the only deal available right now for preordering the hottest Switch game of 2020 so far. You’ll need a MyBestBuy membership to get this free credit, but it’s free to sign up. If you like games such as Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, this one should be right up your alley.

Out 4/10: Preorder Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4, Get $10 in Best Buy Credit

Our preview is up, but I’d suggest you give the demo a whirl and make your own opinion first. After all, it’s free. The game is out in just over a month and Best Buy is the only place you can preorder it with cash back. You’ll need a MyBestBuy membership, which is free to sign up.

Out 3/31: Preorder Persona 5 Royal Steelbook Launch Edition for PS4, Get $10 Best Buy Gift Card

If you thought Persona 5 couldn’t get any better, guess again. One of the best (if not the best) RPGs to grace the PlayStation 4 console is receiving the royal treatment in 2020. Persona 5: Royal Edition introduces a new character, the ability of customize your Thieves’ Den, and new story lines with new cutscenes and new endings. The Steelbook Launch edition throws in a snazzy metal case at no additional cost.

Xbox One X (Factory Refurbished) for $229.99

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for an Xbox One X gaming console from a reputable vendor. Note that this is a Microsoft refurbished item, which means that it still comes with a 90-day warranty. Microsoft refurbished items generally look brand new and come in its original packaging. Since you’re getting it from Walmart (and not a marketplace vendor), it’s easy enough to return to your local store if you have any problems with the unit.

Sign Up for Verizon Fios Gigabit Internet $79.99/mo, Get Google Stadia Premiere Edition

This sponsored deal is brought to you by Verizon FIOS.

For a limited time, sign up for this $79.99 Gigabit plan and you get perks like 3 years of router rental, Disney+ subscription, and Google Stadia Premiere Edition.

Out 4/3: Preorder Resident Evil 3 and Save $10

Resident Evil 3 has dropped $10 to $49.94. For those of you who have already preordered the game from Amazon, your price is automatically adjusted to the lower one. Resident Evil 2 was a remake done right, and we expect RE3 to receive the same treatment. RE3 completes the Raccoon City arc, and this time you’re playing as the iconic Jill Valentine.

Out 3/20: Preorder Doom Eternal and Save $10

Doom Eternal is another hugely anticipated release and you can save $10 when you preorder it. If you’ve watched any of the gameplay trailers you already know this game is going to pretty amazing. Preorder it and you’ll also receive a digital copy of Doom 64.
