The regular price for the standard Nintendo Switch is $299.99, but Woot is currently offering a rare discount on this popular handheld, lowering the price to $279.99 for Amazon Prime members. The standard Switch comes packaged with a pair of Joycons and a charging dock to connect the console with your TV. While the Switch does come equipped with built-in storage of 32GB, that space can go pretty quick with the number of titles available for this console. Besides being home to first-party Nintendo titles featuring Mario and Zelda, the Switch eShop is chock full of amazing indie titles like Shovel Knight and Hades.

The Nintendo Switch offers a 6.2-inch touch screen, three play styles, and connects over Wi-Fi, thus enabling multiplayer gaming.

The LG C1 OLED is a popular pick for The Verge staff, thanks to its combination of gaming features, slim profile, and image fidelity. Normally $2,499.99, Woot has made this 65-inch OLED TV available for just $1649.99, the lowest price we’ve seen for this model. Besides sporting a thin bezel and a slim profile, this 4K screen supports Dolby Vision and HDR 10 for an amazing depth of color. The C1 also boasts a number of excellent gamer-centric features like a 120Hz refresh rate and compatibility with Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync technology to keep your frame rates as smooth as possible.

If you have the money, perhaps it’s time you upgrade your TV. LG’s C1 OLED is a great gaming TV with support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD Freesync technologies, along with a 120Hz refresh rate, low input lag, and a fast processor. It also boasts a “Game Optimizer” dashboard, a settings pane that conveniently brings game-centric settings like refresh rate and latency for quicker access.

The Elgato Facecam was recently touted by our own Cameron Faulkner as one of the best webcams you can get for less than $200. Normally this webcam would cost $199.99 but is currently discounted to $164.99 at Amazon — not quite the lowest price we’ve seen for this particular webcam but still a solid value. Capable of capturing FHD footage at 60 FPS, the features of the Elgato Facecam are a cut above what your typical laptop camera can provide. Just note that the Facecam doesn’t come equipped with a built-in mic, so you’ll still have to rely on either a standalone or built-in microphone on a laptop for audio.
