Introducing the Retro Game Corps Charity Store!

The Retro Game Corps Charity Store is now live! I will be auctioning off items that I have reviewed or tested for the channel, with new listings every week. All items start at a $1 bid with no minimum, and 50% of proceeds go to charity. The remaining revenue goes towards eBay fees, packaging material costs, and a bit to offset my wonderful wife’s time as she packages and ships all of these items.

Find the store here: https://www.ebay.com/str/retrogamecorpscharitystore/

Amazon Prime Day Deals 2022

Amazon Prime Day Deals 2022

Last updated: 12JUL2022

Hi everyone, here is a roundup of Amazon Prime Day deals. I’ll update this as I find more deals, please share in the comments below if you find any too! Please note that these are affiliate links, so I may earn a small commission on your purchases at no extra cost to you.

We’ll start with storage. The WD Black hard drive is great for Xbox or PlayStation consoles, and a great price. I am listing a few varieties of SD cards; the Samsung Pro Endurance are prized for their very long lifespan, and the SanDisk Extreme cards are faster than the Ultra cards. That speed difference won’t really be noticeable on retro handhelds, so I would recommend the lower priced option for those devices.

Storage:
5TB WD Black Game Drive ($99): https://amzn.to/3nRx3YB
2TB SanDisk Portable SSD ($189): https://amzn.to/3c9TYf6
1TB SanDisk Extreme MicroSD ($151): https://amzn.to/3Rp29El
1TB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD ($109): https://amzn.to/3IzbK7K
512GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD ($47): https://amzn.to/3yB6iwi
256GB Samsung Pro Endurance ($39): https://amzn.to/3yYkoJB
256GB Sandisk Extreme MicroSD ($35): https://amzn.to/3OZCzEs
256GB SanDisk Ultra MicroSD ($27): https://amzn.to/3ACBC0q
256GB Samsung Evo Select ($26): https://amzn.to/3au9iTo
128GB Samsung Pro Endurance ($19): https://amzn.to/3RtMtzw
128GB Samsung Evo Select ($13): https://amzn.to/3nRy6aZ

Each of the controllers I have listed below I have tested (and have videos on!), and I think each of them are solid options, especially at these prices. But the KingKong 2 Pro price is really great.

Controllers:
GulitKit KingKong 2 Pro ($55): https://amzn.to/3RndxR4
8Bitdo Arcade Stick ($71): https://amzn.to/3c9VvSo
8Bitdo Pro 2 Wired for Xbox ($36): https://amzn.to/3NZvl1Q
GameSir X2 USB-C ($53): https://amzn.to/3NUicHr
GameSir T4 Mini ($27, burrito controller): https://amzn.to/3PhrZID

Here are some products that I like and are at a good price, and I’ve made videos about the Xbox, Fire Stick, and Tablet here on this channel if you want to check them out. The prices for those Fire devices are really crazy.

Xbox Series S + SteelSeries Headset ($298): https://amzn.to/3P2KJM6
NuPhy Air75 keyboard ($104): https://amzn.to/3It1nlL
Logitech G29 USB racing wheel ($199): https://amzn.to/3PjI6Ft

Sometimes, less is more. In this video I’ll show you how I’ve pared down my retro game collection to just focus on the games that I actually want to play, and how it has given me the opportunity to just focus on games, and not endless browsing.

Anbernic RG351P
Anbernic RG351M
Anbernic RG351V
Anbernic RG351MP
PowKiddy RGB10 Pro
PowKiddy RGB10 Max
