Amazon’s Prime Day Deals have arrived, and the almost week-long event has big savings across microSD cards from Samsung and SanDisk.

The biggest saving on offer can net you a 1TB microSD card, branded with the original edge-lord himself, Shadow the Hedgehog no less, for $69.99 (that’s a saving of 40% from the MSRP of $116.99), but there are also deals on the rest of the gang, with each represented by a different character.

Honestly, I've never really gotten the point of themed microSD cards (even the cute Switch Mario, or Animal Crossing collection), considering you won't ever see it when actually using the storage within something like the Steam Deck or OG Switch.

Still, despite this, it's actually one of the best microSD card deals going in the Prime Day sales, on the best card for Steam Deck, so I can't complain too much.

I can’t help but feel Knuckles has got the short end of the deal, though, since he not only represents Samsung’s 128GB card, but also has no discount. Hardly befitting of an Echidna, but yours for $17.99.

Thankfully, Tails adorns the 256GB microSD card and gets a small discount, meaning you can double your ‘Knuckles storage’ for an extra $2.
