Prime Day 2025: Early Deals Have Already Started, but Could Tariffs Cut Into the Savings?

James Martin/CNET Amazon Prime Day, the mega retailer's summer shopping event, is set for July 8-11 this year -- doubling in size from two to four days.

Instead of Making Prime Day Better, Amazon Is Making It Longer

Amazon’s Prime Day is effectively becoming “Prime Week,” and consumers online will soon be plagued with enough “hot deals” to exhaust even the sturdiest Black Friday veteran.

As far as making its annual shopping holiday any more pro-consumer, that already seems to be far less important than taking over e-comme

Below, we’ve rounded up the best deals currently available on each model, including

These are the best iPad deals right now, just in case iPadOS 26 made you rethink things

A short while ago, I was browsing Apple deals on Amazon (as one does) – and something stuck out to me. High-end iPad Pros, particularly 12.9-inch models, are surprisingly cheap. I saw M1 models with 1TB and cellular for under $700. Given the recent iPadOS 26 overhaul that makes the iPad much more Mac-like, I figured these deals would be worth a share. While renewed iPad deals are the focus here because of their affordability, new iPad deals are also mentioned at the end. Renewed M1 iPad Pro de

I love finding deals on devices that pull double duty, as it feels like it’s stretching my dollar even further. That’s why Google’s discounted TV Streamer (4K) caught my attention this week.

How to Shop Like a Pro During Amazon Prime Day (2025)

Amazon Prime Day is arguably one of the most confusing shopping holidays in existence: It’s not even a “day” anymore, as last year the event spanned 48 hours. It includes some great deals—Amazon promises “millions of deals”—but the displayed discounts are often misleading, and while it’s advertised as a members-only event, some deals are available to people who don’t subscribe to Prime. Add in the frenzy of limited-time Lightning Deals and you’ve got a recipe perfect for spending too much money.

Gaming VC activity settles into a new normal in Q1 | Pitchbook

In the first quarter, gaming VC activity may have finally settled into a new normal — though it’s a leaner, more selective market, according to an analysis by PitchBook. Q1 funding dipped 3% QoQ to $1.2 billion across 134 deals, the lowest deal count since mid-2019. As early-stage investments continue to shrink, investors grow increasingly discerning, and the M&A and exit environment remain muted, there are still bright spots: investment surged into back-end gaming infrastructure and AI-powered
