Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024

Amazon Prime Day is back again. The sale usually takes place in July but the retailer is running a second near-identical event called Prime Big Deal Days on October 8 – 9. There’s no need to hold off until tomorrow to bag a bargain, though, as several early deals are available now and I’m picking out all the best ones for you in this live blog.

This is my seventh year hunting for the best Prime Day deals and I’ve seen it’s always a great opportunity to pick up Amazon’s own devices for some of the cheapest prices all year. For example, there are savings of up to 70% on Fire TV Sticks, Echo smart speakers and Ring doorbells right now – and they’re available even if you’re not a Prime member.

Other deals that have stood out to me so far, include big savings on appliances, vacuums and video game consoles. You might be aware of all the hype surrounding the frankly ridiculously expensive PlayStation 5 Pro. Well, you can avoid all that noise and get a PS5 Digital Edition for $399.99, snagging a record-low price for my favorite and most-used games console right now.

What do all of these deals mean with Black Friday on the horizon, too? Well, some products on offer at Amazon this week will likely be cheaper when the major end-of-year sales period gets underway throughout November.

But I’m sticking to the deals that I believe at least match or beat what we’ll see during Black Friday. And many of these are products we’ve tested and reviewed well here at TechRadar, or are such good bargains that I’d snap them up myself.

There’s so much more coverage of the sale across TechRadar, so be sure to also check out our main Amazon Prime Day hub for an even wider look at all the deals available in the retailer’s 48-hour sale.
