Deals for Today: Alienware Prebuilt Gaming PCs, Laptops and Monitors on Sale
Share this

Bar Nintendo staying in their own lane, Xbox and PlayStation exclusives are now either releasing day one or eventually coming to PC digital storefronts more and more as we fly through the late 2020s. With this console generation (arguably) pushing the needle of inovation, it's a good time to get into PC gaming and save some cash in the process.

Alienware are pushing some amazing deals on their range of prebuilt gaming PCs, gaming laptops and some of the best gaming monitors on the market right now, and I've cherry-picked the best deals for you today.

Games are usually cheaper on PC, with new releases being around $10 cheaper and indie releases having a few dollars off. And we all love a good game sale, but PC gamers are forever hit in the face with deals on Steam, Epic and other storefronts. Let's not forget retailers such as Fanatical constantly discounting the latest releases and offering key bundles to build out your backlog for pocket money.

My personal favourite deal here is the iBuyPower Slate 9 that's rocking a AMD Radeon RX 9070XT 16GB for solid gaming at 1440p with all the frames, and 4K gaming for most titles. It's also got the AMD brainpower of Ryzen 7 78003D, one of the best processors you can get right now for gaming. Pair that with 32GB DDR5 ram and a gen 4 1TB SSD and you're laughing. Plus it's very similar to my current build and i'm bias, especially for $1519.99.

When it comes to the Alienware gaming PCs and Laptops, there isn't a wrong choice here, just what fits your budget and use case, which should be gaming. If you really want to take advantage of DLSS 4, the RTX 5080 build is a good choice, but bar that you're looking at a similar build to the aforementioned iBuyPower build with a weaker processor.

Both deals are great here, it just depends on your budget. Very similar specifications, but the Baseus Picogo has more up-to-date wireless charging and a smaller form factor, hence the higher price point. Just don't forget to copy and paste the codes included above to secure these deals.

Well, Xbox isn't in the good books of gamers worldwide right now, but you can dodge the Game Pass (eventual) price hike with 3 months of Ultimate for $59.99, which is $30 cheaper than the dramatic price hikes. But Amazon decided to knock off an extra $5 today, so If you're on Xbox this is a good time to stack up on Game Pass.

This is one of those novelties that screams "You just had to be there". Halo 3 is considered by many to be the last great Halo game featuring Master Chief, so celebrate the Bungie days by annoying your loved ones when they look at the Christmas tree this year.

It's time trainers! Today see's the release of the most radiacally different mainline Pokémon game, Legends: Z-A. Set as a continuation of Pokémon X and Y and continuing the game mechanic changes seen in Legends: Arceus, Legends: Z-A is going full real-time combat over it's tried and tested turn-based battle style. It's going to be a landmark moment for the worlds most popular entertainment franchise.

One of the biggest catches today is the Final Fantasy collectors edition commander deck set. Amazon thinks it can draw $760.23 out of your bank account, and I think not. TCGPlayer is selling this bundle for $555, that's just over $205 cheaper. You could literally preorder a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Play Booster Box with the money saved here. It pays to shop around, and i've already done that for you, so have a glide through the carousel for over 20 price checked deals so you know you're not wasting money and time.

Kicking off with the Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box, we know $92.65 isn't MSRP and Amazon should be selling it as such, but this is how it is in Pokémania 2025 for now. It's 7% below the current market value and a good deal if you're struggling to get stock. Meanwhile the Mega Evolution three pack blister is only a dollar cheaper, but that dollar is better in your pocket. The other savings range between $1 to $5, so fill your boots!

TCGPlayer is really showing up big box retailers. The secondary market is saving trainers a fortune right now, and will continue doing so until the Pokémon Company floods the marketplace with sealed product, which will happen eventually. A good example here is the Surging Sparks ETB, which is currently $92.94 on Amazon. If you check over on TCGPlayer right now, you'll pay $74.95. That's nearly $20 over market value, and there's plenty more where that came from in the carosel above.

New game mode aside, MTGs latest Universes Beyond addition is another huge IP with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Play Boosters are available, so getting a box is a great idea before preorders sell out and it becomes harder to build a deck. The Commander Deck is ideal if you want a solid foundation for a game of Commander but want to modify it with single cards down the line. Of course, the TMNT bundle comes with a few goodies including 9 play boosters, foil alt art promo card, 30 land cards and some tidy accessories.
