HBO’s Hacks was a magnet for well-deserved Emmys, and I was personally delighted to hear that the complete series would come to Blu-ray. The set recently went up for preorder, costing $69.99 at Amazon, and includes cast screen tests, deleted scenes, bloopers, table reads, and more detailed at Blu-ray.com.

If you’re looking for a GPU upgrade, but don’t want to shell out $800 or more for an RTX 5070, Newegg has the Gigabyte RX 9070 GRE, a capable card for 1440p gaming, discounted to $500 when you click “Extra discount available. Unlock it here” on the product page and then enter your email. The deal also includes Onimusha: Way of the Sword, although you’ll have to redeem the code by October 24th, 2026.

Prime Big Deal Days is its annual October sale, and this year it’s running from October 6th at 3:01am ET through the 7th at the same time. New deals will arrive three times daily, and we’ll be covering the event closely, highlighting the best discounts on products that Verge readers care about.

The first-generation Switch Pro Controller is marked down to $55.99 at a variety of retailers as part of Nintendo’s Customer Appreciation sale. It’s a solid deal despite lacking a few features found in the newer, pricier Switch 2 version. It’s compatible with both Switch consoles, with the caveat that it doesn’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep.

Sometimes, one purchase more than makes up for the annual cost of a Costco membership. HP’s OmniBook 3 is a good example of that. It has a Snapdragon X processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 1200p OLED screen, and through September 6th it costs just $449.99 ($200 off) at Costco. Seems like a capable Arm-based machine for the price that’s great for entertainment, too.
