Use code “EXTRA17”
There’s no doubt that Dell makes some of the best gaming monitors on the market. The Dell S2719DGF monitor is value packed for gamers, especially at this price (the first time we’ve seen this monitor under $300). The monitor comes equipped with 2560×1440 resolution (much sharper than 1080p but also much easier on video cards than 4K), blazing fast 1ms response time, 144Hz refresh rate for stutter-free gaming, and AMD FreeSync compatibility for those with AMD video cards.

SanDisk Ultra 400GB Micro SDXC Card (Perfect for Nintendo Switch) for $52.99
The Nintendo Switch comes preinstalled with only 32GB of storage. To put that in perspective, Breath of the Wild alone will take up 40% of your storage capacity. I’d recommend you get at least a 128GB card if you want to store as many smaller digital titles as you want, and the larger 400GB card if you plan to download bigger titles.
63% Off Borderlands 3 Super Deluxe Edition for PS4 and Xbox One, Now Under $36.47
Borderlands 3 scored an IGN Editors’ Choice 9/10. James Duggan writes “Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weapons, humor, and missions.” The Super Deluxe Edition includes a steelbook case, deluxe bonus content pack, and the Season Pass, which means you’ll have access to the four additional campaign DLCs.
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.

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.
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.
