With the new consoles arriving soon, we know that lots of people are looking for some last-minute PS5 Prime Day deals among all the rest of the best Prime Day deals. And Amazon has duly delivered with this extra-tempting deal, which gives you 40% off Seagate's Game Drives, to add extra storage to your PS5, PS4 or assorted Xboxes. This offer ends at 23:59 PDT on October 14 2020!

You'll notice that some of the product names there say they're for PS4, but these drives are really useful on PS5 too. And it's exactly the same on Xbox – these will work on Xbox One models and on Xbox Series X and Series S.

The difference is that, when you use these drives with current-gen consoles, you can store any of your games on them, but when you use them with next-gen consoles, you can store previous-gen games only on them.

The usefulness has probably already jumped out at you: with both next-gen consoles including backwards compatibility, you can use this drive to bring your library of current-gen games to PS5/Xbox Series without eating up any of the precious internal flash storage that next-gen games require.

The drives connect over USB 3.1, and you can just sit them out of the way, providing tons of extra storage. That's the real magic here – 4TB of games space is just a huge number of big-name titles. Well, so is 2TB, but for just $23 more, you want to double that space, don't you?
