Prime Day 2024 will, no doubt, be rich with deep discounts on PC gaming hardware. But when it gets fully underway across July 16th and 17th, it won’t be the only deals game in town. Not by a long shot. That’s why the RPS Anti-Prime Day guide has returned once more, to bring together all the worthiest hardware offers from non-Amazon retailers in the UK and US.
Why the focus now, when these sellers run PC gaming deals throughout the whole year? Ultimately, it’s still Amazon’s doing. Prime Day, as exclusive to Prime members as it is, still whips up enough of a buying frenzy to almost rival Black Friday – and like Black Friday, there are loads of others wanting a piece of a pie. To compete directly with Amazon’s lowered prices, PC gear retailers will slash down their own wares, matching and sometimes even beating the megacorp on value.
That means anything from the fastest SSDs to humble Steam Deck docks could you yours for a pittance this Prime Day, and you won’t have to give Amazon a penny in exchange – let alone sign up for Prime. I’ll be updating this page with my picks of these Anti-Prime Day deals, across all the same hardware types as our main Prime Day deals hub.
