The weekend shopping event is live with steep discounts across gaming, tech, and collectibles. If you've been waiting to jump into the Final Fantasy VII remake series ahead of next year's Revelation installment, prices have collapsed to their lowest points yet on multiple platforms.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the definitive version of the first chapter, is available for $19.99 on PlayStation 5 and $29.99 on Nintendo Switch 2. The game follows Cloud Strife and his crew from the very start through their escape from Midgar. For anyone planning to tackle Revelation when it arrives, this is the obvious entry point.
The Dragon Quest remakes are also getting aggressive pricing this weekend. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, which delivered substantial story expansions especially to the second game, has dropped to $39.99 on Amazon. The HD-2D treatment gives these classics a modern visual polish while preserving their retro essence. Industry reviews gave the package a 9/10, noting that it beautifully revitalizes the originals while serving as the definitive version of both games.
Sony's action-RPG Nioh 3 released in early February and is now discounted $20 to $47.49 on the PS5. The game overhauled the formula with a split between Samurai and Ninja combat styles and introduced an open-world structure. Reviews praised it as best-in-class combat that successfully refreshed the established franchise.
Barnes & Noble's Criterion Collection sale is running at 50% off, making this one of the year's prime windows to stock up on 4K Blu-ray transfers. The Criterion releases often include restored transfers overseen by original directors, plus extensive bonus materials. The selection spans widely across cinema history.
Storage-conscious Switch 2 owners can grab a 256GB Samsung microSD Express Card for $39.99 on Amazon, matching Prime Day pricing. With games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth consuming over 100GB of space, expansion storage is becoming essential rather than optional.

A four-film Batman 4K collection bundling Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin is priced at $32.99, representing over 20% savings. The bundle is a fast way to expand a 4K movie library in one purchase.
Manga readers can grab the complete Tokyo Ghoul box set, all 14 volumes from creator Sui Ishida, for $77.74 on Amazon. The deal cuts over $100 off retail and includes an exclusive double-sided poster. The series follows Ken Kaneki and ranks as essential reading for anime fans.
Author Emily Chen: "The Final Fantasy VII Remake price drop is the real headline here, but the Criterion sale and manga box set deals show that this weekend is worth a full sweep through your wishlist."
