Best Buy Launches Member-Free Techtober Sale to Rival Amazon Prime Day

Best Buy has thrown its hat into the discount ring with Techtober, a sales event cheekily aimed to compete with Amazon's colorful second Prime Day. The shimmering carrot here: all are welcome—no membership fees necessary. Apparently, even shifting towards a free-for-all requires the usual dance of providing your email for specific deals.

The details

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered: $14.99 (was $29.99)
GameSir Super Nova Gamepad: $29.99 (was $49.99)
Invincible VS (PS5): $24.99 (was $49.99)
Battlefield 6 (PS5/Xbox): $34.99 (was $49.99)

Notably, the Nintendo Switch remaster of Legacy of Kain ghosts in at $14.99, sliced down from $29.99. Accessories didn’t escape the scythe either; the GameSir Super Nova comes in at $29.99, a budget warrior for PC and Switch—if you ignore its comatose wake-up feature on the latter.

Fresh off the press, Invincible VS for PS5 is offered at half-price, likely still finding its footing post-April release.

Part of the charm? No elusive membership needed. Whether it will draw droves from Amazon remains a mystery full of cart conversions to be seen.
