Best Buy anti-Prime Day gaming deals
Ubisoft went back to basics with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, an action-adventure set in 9th century Baghdad during the Islamic Golden Age. In it, players control a young thief named Basim Ibn Ishaq (who previously appeared in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla) as he searches for justice and answers. Considering the game has been out for less than a year, the asking price is more than fair for what you’re getting in return.
This deal is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X/S.

When is Best Buy’s Black Friday Sale in July?
When Amazon started Amazon Prime Day, other companies started hosting July deal events to compete with them. Best Buy is one of them, and started Black Friday in July. This year, the event will run from July 15-17, overlapping with Prime Day deals. Best Buy may have deals on some brands that aren’t on sale for Prime Day. Some deals start early, so keep an eye out.
How We Choose Anti-Prime Day Deals
Many of us here at CNET have been covering shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. In that time, we’ve learned how to spot the best deals in a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only show you the best deals from trusted retailers.
We look for real discounts, quality reviews, and remaining sales time when choosing laptop deals to show you. We have a team of dedicated experts who have tested hundreds of smart home devices to ensure we only bring you the best of the best.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products listed as on sale so we know when it’s a case of an inflated list price rather than a real discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product and especially when it comes to the laptop you are going to use every day. A discount is not worth it if it results in a sub-par product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining sale time is also important. Some deals are short-lived or limited in stock. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know in advance so you don’t come back to the deal later and be disappointed.
Is Best Buy’s Black Friday July Sale the Best Time to Buy Tech?
In addition to deal times like the real Black Friday, Best Buy’s anti-Prime Day sale features some of the best deals of the year on TVs, laptops, earbuds, appliances, and more. Many of the most popular brands are included in this sale, including Apple, Nikon, Samsung, Microsoft, and more. If you don’t want to wait until November to upgrade your tech, now is the time.
