Amazon Prime Days are back, which means the deals are too. The annual shopping event (taking place July 8-11 this year) brings forth great deals not only from Amazon but from other retailers too, making it a great time to shop the wish list.

While the deals range across pretty much all categories, I find the best bang for your buck is typically on higher value items such as electronics, including video games.

That being said, discounts do vary, and some are better than others. Check out some of the best ones this year on video games and accessories across various consoles below.
