We’ve compiled the greatest Amazon Prime Early Access offers we’ve come across.

Amazon’s Prime Day sales event took place in July, as it has done every year since 2015. The two-day shopping event is only available to Amazon Prime members and includes thousands of goods from all categories. This year, the firm has scheduled another sales event called the “Prime Early Access Sale” on October 11 and 12. It’s a lesser, but still big, discount event on thousands of things that’s meant to pre-empt the holiday buying season.

To be clear, Amazon remains a behemoth that has done (and continues to do) many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many things worthy of criticism, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded up with a lot of junk offers and misleading “discounts” that don’t make products significantly cheaper than they usually are. Much like Prime Day, these deals range widely in their value. But among the literal tens of thousands of sale items, there are some genuinely good deals on a lot of the items and categories we cover here at Ars.

We spent several hours combing through the offers to compile a list of the best values available. Many of the items are devices we’ve reviewed well here at Ars, while the rest have been well-reviewed at multiple review sites we trust. Using tools like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel, we verified that the deals below offer prices as low or lower than they’ve been in the past three to six months. Many of these match the types of discounts you’ll see during other major sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The comprehensive roundup below will be updated periodically throughout each day of the event to reflect changes in stock, pricing, and additive deals.
