Best deals today: Tomodachi Life, Kindle Colorsoft, and 8BitDo Pro 3

Woot is running a one-day Summer of Gaming sale with an extra 22% off already-discounted items using the code LEVEL22 — Prime members get free shipping, though the maximum discount is capped at $50. Best Buy is also running a Black Friday in July sale with notable cuts on Kindle hardware.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream drops to $41.33 on Woot with the code applied — it's an international version but works normally. The Switch life-sim lets you populate an island with custom Mii versions of friends, family, and celebrities and watch the chaos unfold. IGN's Logan Plant called it "genuinely hilarious" in his review. The 8BitDo Pro 3 Wireless Controller — compatible with Switch, Switch 2, PC, and Mac — is down to $36.65 in all three colorways (G Classic, Grey, and Purple). It packs Hall Effect triggers, TMR joysticks, a tactile D-pad, swappable buttons, and comes with a charging dock. Sonic x Shadow Generations for PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X hits $8.57 on Woot with the same code — a remaster of the 2011 Sonic Generations that doubles the campaign with new Shadow content and earned a 9/10 from IGN. On the reading side, the Kindle Colorsoft is $159.99 at Best Buy — $90 off — with a 7-inch color display, adjustable lighting, waterproofing, 8-week battery life, and 16GB of storage.

The 8BitDo Pro 3 sits in the mid-range wireless controller market where it competes on features rather than price alone — Hall Effect and TMR tech are typically found on pricier pads, so $36.65 is a strong entry point. Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream launched as one of the bigger Nintendo Switch titles this year, which makes discounts rare this soon after release. Sonic x Shadow Generations was one of the better-received Sonic titles in years when it launched in 2024, making sub-$9 a no-brainer for platformer fans who missed it.

The Woot sale runs today only, so the LEVEL22 code won't last. The LEGO Star Wars Home One Starcruiser set is also on sale and retiring at the end of the month, so that one has a hard deadline too.
