Gotta' spell accelerated for these.
Amazon’s Prime Day Deals person arrived, and the astir week-long lawsuit has large savings crossed microSD cards from Samsung and SanDisk.
The biggest redeeming connected connection tin nett you a 1TB microSD card, branded with the archetypal edge-lord himself, Shadow the Hedgehog nary less, for $69.99 (that’s a redeeming of 40% from the MSRP of $116.99), but determination are besides deals connected the remainder of the gang, with each represented by a antithetic character.
Honestly, I've ne'er truly gotten the constituent of themed microSD cards (even the cute Switch Mario, oregon Animal Crossing collection), considering you won't ever spot it erstwhile really utilizing the retention wrong thing similar the Steam Deck oregon OG Switch.
Still, contempt this, it's really 1 of the champion microSD paper deals going successful the Prime Day sales, connected the champion paper for Steam Deck, truthful I can't kick excessively much.
Save connected These microSD cards for Prime Day 2025
I can’t assistance but consciousness Knuckles has got the abbreviated extremity of the deal, though, since helium not lone represents Samsung’s 128GB card, but besides has nary discount. Hardly befitting of an Echidna, but yours for $17.99.
Thankfully, Tails adorns the 256GB microSD paper and gets a tiny discount, meaning you tin treble your ‘Knuckles storage’ for an other $2.
Next up, the Blue Blur himself offers 512GB astatine a precise tenable $29.99, acknowledgment to a 30% discount, earlier Shadow rounds retired the lineup with 1TB astatine $69.99.
SanDisk microSD XC paper - 256GB
SanDisk microSD XC paper - 512GB
Not fussed by Team Sonic? SanDisk undercuts Samsung’s Tails-branded enactment with a $16.99 card, and Sonic’s mentation with a $29.99 512GB card. But, these are A2 cards, truthful the speeds won't beryllium anyplace adjacent arsenic bully for Steam Deck.
Whichever enactment you pick, it’s worthy noting that these won’t enactment connected your brand-new Switch 2, sadly. Nintendo’s latest console requires microSD Express cards, which are faster (and much expensive). They’re besides not discounted due to the fact that they’re caller connected the market, and successful blistery request acknowledgment to Nintendo.
Still, Team Sonic (or, uh, Team SanDisk?) tin assistance with different portable consoles. If it’s the archetypal Switch, these volition beryllium conscionable the ticket, but they’re besides perfect for handheld PC options similar the Steam Deck.
If you are inactive rocking the archetypal Switch (and wherefore wouldn’t you be? It’s great!, past determination are discounts to beryllium had connected first-party games, too.
