Prime Day happened and we need to improve on the deals...

    I added a lot of things in my Amazon wish list knowing that Prime Day is coming around but when the 11 of July came around. I barely found items on my Wishlist on sale. There were two early deals that came before prime day. One on a audio mixer from Fifine and the other being a ITX PC case from Cooler Master. However, PC component deals I was able to find was Crucial's 32GB Ram and 2TB SSD. Unfortunately, not going to hide the fact that your ITX or Mac Mini clone build could have been more cheaper and with more options on a discount. 


    At least there are deals on Games. To give it to Amazon, they are decent. $20 off Harvestella, $10 off Sakuna, and $11 off Story of Seasons. Not bad. The 2022 hit Cotton Fantasy costing $25, making it $15 off is actually a great deal. I barely saw Prime day related deals on Darius and Raiden games. Speaking of Darius.....wait a minute, didn't I add a bunch of pocket projectors to my wish list. None of them got the Prime Day deals spark. Back to the topic of games, there is no Prime Day magic hitting the Atari 50th anniversary collection. There seems to be need for Amazon to start getting more people from left and right on board...oh snap is that a Prime day coupon for Grubhub!?

No seriously, getting a feeling like as if Amazon is going to buy Grubhub. Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

    GPU price cuts on Prime Day are a thing. However, if you expect price cuts on the latest released ones, it's like expecting a prime day discount on the OnePlus Pad (The thing just released). There are price cuts on last gen cards like Nvidia's GeForce RTX 30 series and AMD's Radeon RX 6000 cards. But you might want to hold off on the latest....then again, people rather go to RTX 30 than 40 because reasons and AMD seems to procrastinate on the other RX7000 cards. However, GPU deals are alright but definitely need to be better. I mean I would love to see better discount deals on other computer components so that there will be more financial room for the CPU and GPU and I got to ask what on earth is that selection. 

    I reiterate this, Amazon needs to get more people from left to right on board with Prime day. Steam does what it can when it comes to their Steam sales and I got to give them that. However, after summer we only have a few months till Fall season kicks in. We are also halfway into this year. It's time for people to finally step up. Amazon Prime Day is the only thing I am disappointed in but also Newegg. Newegg's Fantastech sale seems to be lackluster too. Barely even found the amount of deals on PC parts to catch up with Amazon. Credit where credit is due and to be fair, monitors do get good deals on both sites. However, still discount sales at such big caliber like Prime Day, can be better and we would like to see better.
