The best gaming deals this week, including a buy one, get one free deal

April 25, 2023 Audrey

It’s tough to keep up with all aspects of life during the weekdays, with family, work, and all sorts of other things calling for your time and attention. So, we’ve listed out the week’s best deals and pre-order perks happening in games, entertainment, and toys. That way, you won’t miss out on limited-time offers before they expire or sell out.

In addition to showing you some notable discounts and offers from the past week, we’ll serve up a couple of the top-selling products on Polygon for those who are into that kind of thing, plus brand-new deals not yet featured on the site that we think are worthy of your attention. If you have suggestions for how we can improve this format, let us know in the comments.

The best gaming deals this week

The PlayStation 5 console is currently $50 off, and will be for the remainder of the month. You can get the disc version of the PS5 bundled with God of War Ragnarök for $50 less than it usually costs. It’s $509.99 at several retailers instead of $559.99, so it’s like getting the 2022 hit game for just $10.

Here’s another reminder to pre-order The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom if you want it on release day, Friday, May 12. Several retailers are offering pre-orders, along with exclusive freebie bonuses if you place an order at each retailer (including ones outside of the U.S.).

We’ve explained all the Tears of the Kingdom pre-order perks here. Of course, if you want the digital version, just buy the game directly through your Switch, and make sure to start downloading the game a few hours before you want to play it., which are discounted to $20.99,you

Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck owners should pick up one of these Samsung microSD cards while they’re discounted, so that you don’t hit the limits of their measly internal storage. The 512 GB model is a particularly swell deal, selling for $39.99.

If you can’t get enough of The Last of Us in your life, The Last of Us Part 2 for PS4 (with a PS5 patch that enables 60 frames per second and enhanced graphics) is $9.99 (usually $39.99) via the PlayStation Store through April 27. Bit of a warning, though, that if you thought the ending of the first game was bleak (the end of the HBO show’s season wrapped the same way), strap in.

The best entertainment deals this week

To coincide with Apple’s launch of The Last Thing He Told Me starring Jennifer Garner, it’s giving out two free months of its streaming service. The voucher is valid for new and “qualified” returning subscribers, though it’s not clear who’s excluded from using it. With two months free on your account, you’ll be able to catch up on several shows, including Ted Lasso, Severance, Pachinko, and many more. This code will expire

Week 1 of the 2022 CrossFit Games Semifinals is in the books and week 2 is here. Today the focus is on evaluating the programming for the two Semifinals in week 2 and how they fit in and compare with the first three slates of workouts from week 1. (If you haven’t read the article linked here, it is recommended to do so. Many of these topics are discussed in more detail there.)

Time Domains

When evaluating time domains, we are talking about expected time domains, not listed time caps. In the table below, we have updated the time caps (when needed) to reflect the actual times needed for the top 10 or so athletes in each event. In the case that it was notably different for men than women, the men are listed first followed by a slash and then the women.

For the MACC and Cape Town columns, those are the projected expected times for each workout.

Non-CF Programmed Events	Syndicate	Lowlands	Torian	MACC	Cape Town
E1	10:00/12:00	18:00/20:00	20:30/22:00	13:00	21:00
E2	23:00/25:00	7:00	9:30	23:00	16:00
E3	11:30/13:30	11:00	6:00	12:00	18:00
E4	6:30/7:30	4:00	5:00	7:00	7:00

Time Domains in 2022 Semifinal Events | Brian Friend

A few noteworthy items:

From week 1 there was variability in terms of time needed between men and women and all four workouts relative to the other two; it will be intriguing to see if that’s the case for other Semifinals going forward.
The distribution of time domains at the MACC appears to be rather appropriate given the two pre-programmed CrossFit workouts; hit the long, have a short-moderate in the finale, and two metcons in the 10-15 minute range.
Cape Town’s programming is very long with three workouts expected to take over 16 minutes; so far no other semi has more than one workout like that.

Handstand Push-Ups and Handstand Walking

Pretty straightforward for the next few sections; all we did was add in whether MACC and/or Cape Town had the listed movement and in what capacity.

Movement	Syndicate	Lowlands	Torian	MACC	Cape Town
HS walking	400 feet	72 meters	–	180 feet	60 meters
HSPUs	18 def HSPUs(9/6 inches)	60 regularkipping hspus	45 strict deficitHSPUs	–	50 regularkipping hspus

Handstand Elements in 2022 Semifinal Events | Brian Friend

Handstand walking:

The handstand walking distance at Lowlands, MACC, and Cape Town is relatively similar.
Syndicate still had by far the most handstand walking distance required.
Torian remains the only Semi thus far not to test it at all.

Handstand Push-up Variations:

MACC becomes the first Semifinal not to test handstand push-ups in any capacity.
Cape Town, like Lowlands, has a modest number of regular kipping handstand push-ups near the end of the same chipper that also has handstand walking.

Squatting Volume:

Syndicate	Lowlands	Torian	MACC	Cape Town
150 wall balls	–	–	120 wall balls	100 wall balls
