In the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon's " October Prime Day " sale on Oct. 8 and 9, the retail giant isn't offering a ton of great deals on 2-in-1 machines — but that's no surprise. During such sitewide sales, Amazon usually saves its best laptop deals for the exact windows of the event, forcing eager shoppers to be patient.

Amazon's Big Deals Prime Day is set to take place next week, but you don't have to wait for the huge sale event to save money on a variety of gaming items. The online giant is already offering some great discounts on Xbox, PlayStation and PC games and accessories.

Amazon is readying its sword for another big sale event, the 48-hour Big Deal Days running Oct. 8th and 9th. But even before that event kicks off, we're seeing some surprising price drops on all kinds of tech.
