Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is back this year, returning on October 8 and 9<\/a>. The \u201cfall Prime Day<\/a>\u201d of sorts has served as the online retailer\u2019s unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season for the past few years. We expect most of the deals to be Prime exclusives, meaning you must be an active Prime subscriber to get the discounts. There are always a couple of deals available for everyone, though, so it\u2019s worth perusing Amazon\u2019s site even if you don\u2019t pay for Prime. It\u2019s also worth doing so now because we\u2019ve found a number of solid early Prime Day deals already available. These are the best of the bunch; we\u2019ll be updating this post regularly in the lead-up to October Prime Day, so check back for the latest deals.<\/p>\n While Apple deals are few and far between right now, you can save a bit on the new AirPods 4. AirTags have a slight discount as well, both in single and multi-packs.<\/p>\n It’s a safe bet that we’ll see even more Amazon gear discounted on October Prime Day, but for now, you can snag a Fire tablet on sale, as well as Ring and Blink security cameras for much cheaper than usual.<\/p>\n Echo Spot for $45 ($35 off):<\/strong><\/a> This recently revived smart display is billed as a smart alarm clock, and it features a customizable screen, big sound for its size and all the perks for Alexa voice commands.

A number of other Fire TV devices are on sale right now, too, including the Fire TV Stick Lite for only $18<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Amazon Music Unlimited three-month trial for free (four-month free trial for Prime members):<\/strong><\/a> Anyone who has never tried Amazon Music Unlimited before can get a three-month free trial right now. Amazon ups that to four months if you’re a Prime member that’s new to the music streaming service<\/a>.

Some of our favorites come from the Star Wars<\/a>, Super Mario<\/a> and Harry Potter<\/a> lineups, and you’ll find savings up to 41 percent on those. There’s also a Lego City 2024 advent calendar<\/a> that’s 20 percent off and down to only $26.<\/p>\n You may not immediately think of them when you think about Amazon’s own tech, but the shopping giant also owns Ring and Blink. Gadgets from these companies make up most of Amazon’s home security offerings, and you can usually find steep discounts during Prime Day on security cameras, alarm systems and other bundles.<\/p>\n Early Prime Day deals on tech include discounts on power banks, webcams, air fryers, smart plugs and more.<\/p>\n PS5 Slim (Digital Edition) for $400 ($50 off)<\/strong><\/a>: <\/strong>Both the all-digital model and the standard PlayStation 5<\/a> are $50 off right now, so you can get them for $400 or $450, respectively.

However, in years past, we’ve seen everything from clothing to household essentials to outdoor gear go on sale during this event. Engadget cares most about tech deals, and in past fall Prime Days, we’ve seen things like phones, tablets, headphones, earbuds, robot vacuums, smart home gear and more receive deep discounts.<\/p>\n Yes, because most deals will be Prime exclusives. However, there are always a few decent deals available to all Amazon shoppers, so it’s worth checking out Amazon’s site during October Prime Day to see where you can save even if you don’t pay for Prime.<\/p>\nPrime Day deals: Engadget’s top picks<\/h2>\n
