When is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon has two Prime Day events: one in the summer and one in October. This year, October Prime Day will be a two-day event held from Tuesday, Oct. 6, through the end of Wednesday, Oct. 7.
How did we rate these October Prime Day deals?
I chose Nintendo Switch/Switch 2 consoles that were in new condition and were both sold and shipped by reputable retailers and resellers. I also did my best to only feature game deals on well-known titles and significant discounts. I even checked multiple websites to find the best discounts on the best-rated accessories.
