Amazon is getting ready for the next generation of video game consoles. Not only do they have the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One available for pre-order, but accessories are also now available.
You may or may not be ready for this new round of technology, but we're here to help. We've scoured the Internet for some deals on video game accessories and other products that'll help you to get the most out of your entertainment experience.
Xbox One Accessories
One of the newest consoles is the Xbox One, which Amazon currently has available for pre-order. The device comes with a Kinect and has updated specs for gaming, watching TV and movies, and listening to music. Amazon has a number of accessories available for both your new and old Xbox, including controllers and the Turtle Beach Ear Force DXL1 headset above for Xbox 360, which is on sale for $70 with free shipping.
PlayStation 4 Accessories
Amazon also has a similar catalog for consumers who are more into Sony's console. Sony is more focused on marketing the PlayStation as a gaming experience, which might appeal to some people more than others. If you prefer that direction, you might want to check out Amazon's pre-order for the console as well as its accessories. This includes the new Dualshock wireless controller and a camera, which can be used for broadcasting through Twitch.
Bioshock Triple Pack
The PC has joined the console generation recently thanks to a wide release of games over Steam and other services. There's the next round of consoles and games, but there's still plenty to love from the last few years. The Bioshock series is one of the most beloved franchises in gaming thanks to its intense story, beautiful atmosphere, and unique universe. If you've never experienced it, you can now thanks to this great deal through Amazon. You get all three games in the series for $19—down from $99—as a digital download for your PC. You can also get the individual games for 50 percent off.
Nintendo WiiU 32GB Bundle with Headset
You'll see the WiiU at a discounted price across different retailers thanks to low sales. If you still want one of these gamepads—which allows you to play a number of Nintendo mini games and classics—you can get the bundle on sale at Newegg for $299 with free shipping, which is down $50. A black headset is also included with a purchase.
Lenovo IdeaPad Y500
A close friend of mine goes crazy whenever this laptop is on sale, stating that it's the "best bang for the buck gaming laptop right now." It's easy to see why he would get excited. The laptop boasts some great specs: an Intel Core i7—3630QM Processor, an NVIDIA GeForce GT650M graphics card, and a 1TB hard drive, which will all give you a great gaming experience. It was originally priced at $999 and is on sale for $799 with free shipping.
Panasonic TC-L50EM60
Now you have your console, accessories, and games. What about a TV to display it on? One of the best deals we've found on a gaming TV is for the Panasonic TC-L50EM60, which we found to be solid with above-average picture quality and motion performance and without the price that comes with fancy features like WiFi or 3D. If you're a fan of seeing your games on a giant screen, this 50-inch will certainly satisfy your needs. It's on sale at Sears for $549. It's not available for delivery, but can be obtained with free in-store pickup.
