One for Dad, one for Grad: This Best Buy offer nets you a free TV

Digital Trends05-06-2025
If June is the time to celebrate dads and grads, what better way to do so than a pair of magnificent TVs? Well, quite easily if one is free. Now through June 22, when you buy a 2025 edition 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 Mini LED from Best Buy's shop you also get a 2023 edition 65-inch Sony Bravia XR X90L, which retails at $1,200 and — just to show you how generous Best Buy is being — happens to be one of Best Buy's highest rated TVs ever (and we rated it pretty highly, too). Check out the combo for yourself via the button below, or see why this bundle is such a good offer (beyond just being a savings of $1,200 with the free TV) by reading on.
Why you should buy the Best Buy Bravia TV bundle
With this deal, you get two TVs that are clearly among the best TVs of the day. The 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 is part of Sony's 2025 TV lineup, is a mini LED TV, and is surprisingly good for big screen gaming. You shouldn't be surprised by its 4K resolution, HDR capabilities, 120Hz refresh rate, or low input lag gaming modes. At this point, you also shouldn't be surprised that it's packed with AI-backed upscaling as well as image adjustment. The Sony Bravia 5 is made to pair especially well with your Playstation 5 (the grad has to come home at some point) and comes with a ton of IMAX Enhanced movies via the Sony Pictures Core app.
Then there's the 65-inch Sony Bravia X90L which can absolutely be the life of the apartment or medium-sized living room. Our Sony Bravia X90L review highlighted its intense color accuracy and motion handling. Like the Sony Bravia 5 above, it has a 4K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate. Ultimately, it was billed as an excellent pick for cinephiles that weren't ready to break the bank. It has overwhelmingly positive ratings over on Best Buy too, showing it doesn't take special know-how to get an excellent viewing experience out of this TV. Finally, remember, it comes free (a value of $1,200) with this bundle purchase.
If you want this bundle, tap the button below. The buy one, get one aspect of this deal ends June 22, but you never know when something like this will sell out. On the other hand, if this one misses the mark, be sure to check out other ongoing TV deals for more offers.

Samsung just launched the first 37-inch curved 4K gaming monitor — but there's a catch

While many of the best gaming monitors around try and find a sweet spot within the trifecta of screen size, resolution, and refresh rate, Samsung's latest offering is aiming to be all things to all people. The colossal 37-inch display offers up to 165Hz display refresh rate at a 4K resolution, and while you'll need a powerful GPU to get the best out of it, it's positioned at the apex of a crowded market. In fact, it's the first 37-inch model anywhere you'll find with a native 4K resolution. Sadly, the massive catch is it's currently only listed on the manufacturer's Malaysian storefront, with no whisper on a U.S. or U.K. announcement. In fact, the nature of this listing makes us think Samsung Malaysia has gone its own way and announced this sucka before the company's global HQ was ready to let the world know it's here. While the headline feature (and most obvious consideration) will be the sheer size of the 37-inch display (which isn't ultrawide, either, so reaches pretty high with a 16:9 aspect ratio), the 165Hz refresh rate at a 4K resolution isn't to be sniffed at. While alternatives like Sony's InZone M10S are pushing close to 500Hz, that's a 1440p monitor that's offering a 27-inch display. Not only is the resolution higher here and the screen larger, but there's a nice 1000R curvature to help immerse players into whatever it is they're doing on screen. It's not OLED, however, but it does have VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification to more detail in the shadows, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is here but there's no NVIDIA G-Sync. In terms of inputs and output, there's a DisplayPort 1.4 option, a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports, and USB ports, but you'll need your own speakers (as is often the case with gaming monitors). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Pricing-wise, it's up for RM 4,399, which is $1,038 or £780 at the time of writing, but there's no guarantee the monitor will definitely get a release outside of Malaysia, at least until Samsung announces it formally in other regions. As someone using the LG UltraGear 39GS95QE-B I tested for Tom's Guide in recent months, I'm not sure I'm ready to drop my refresh rate to accommodate a 4K resolution, but if you're looking for a monitor for work and play — and happen to be in Malaysia right now — you may find Samsung's offering is worth looking at. The rest of us will need to wait for any possible global release. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds.

With $80 Xbox games on the horizon, it's time to stop equating game length to value

The threat of the first $80 video game loomed in the distance for months and was ultimately broken by an unlikely candidate in Nintendo. Regardless of which company took that initial leap, this price increase was always a matter of when, not if. I was one of the many who assumed GTA 6 would be the first game to raise the price, but it seems the industry needed to start flirting with a new standard sooner rather than later. While we haven't heard Sony's plans to increase any PS5 game costs just yet, Xbox didn't wait long to announce that it was going to embrace this new price point as early as this winter on certain titles. Well, that was the original plan, anyway. Recommended Videos The Outer Worlds 2 bore the unfortunate weight of being Xbox's first $80 game for around a month before the decision was reversed and refunds were issued. While that is a minor win for us gamers, make no mistake — we are going to lose the war. $80 games are coming, and besides becoming more discerning consumers, we also need to start having better conversations about what makes a game worth $80. Putting a price on art I think it is important to recognize that having a standard price for art is weird. We all kind of accept it for games because that's how it's been after the N64 era when pricing became standardized. Ask any gamer who lived through those times — and was buying games with their own money — and they will gladly tell you about some games costing over $100 at launch. The advent of digital games and a growing indie and AA scene has provided a space for some games to explore the pricing scale, but the rule of thumb for 'major releases' has always been the standard $60, $70, and soon-to-be $80 price tag. Dear Galactic Citizens!⁰⁰We have received your SOS via skip drone about the pricing. As an organization devoted to making sure that corporations do not go unfettered, we at the Earth Directorate have worked with [REDACTED] to revise the price of The Outer Worlds 2. While this… — The Outer Worlds (@OuterWorlds) July 23, 2025 And that's just such an odd thing to do. It treats all games as a singular product rather than individual works of art. It simplifies the process of having a publisher somehow determine how valuable its own work is for the consumer, plus makes it far easier for budgets and projections, but has conditioned us to view games as products rather than art. We believe a game should cost $70, so a game that costs more had better be something spectacular, right? Not everyone operates that way, but I think it has seeped into a lot of our thought processes when it comes to what games we invest in. Don't get me wrong, we all should be highly conscious about what games we decide to buy at full price. $70 is already a huge investment for the majority of people, so taking advantage of sales, cheaper games, or even ways to get free games is only natural. But when we're so accustomed to treating games as monetary investments, I think we start to lose sight of their primary value — art. Almost every discussion about game pricing will include a portion of the community attempting to qualify whether a game is 'worth' its price based on objective metrics. The main factor that never seems to die off is game length. I'm too exhausted to fully dismantle this argument, but if you're reading this, I assume you don't need me to. Basing any work of art's value on its length has never held up to scrutiny. There are games I've beaten in less than two hours that I would pay way more for than games I've sunk 100+ hours into. Length is about the only yardstick we can use to compare all games with. In that regard, it makes sense why some try to wield it as a tool to measure a game's value. While I disagree with that wholeheartedly, I do have to concede that sometimes length is an important factor. However, it shouldn't be talked about in isolation. We can't stop the discussion at 'X game is Y hours long, therefore it is/isn't worth the price.' How are those hours spent? Does the game justify its short or long duration? The tricky thing here is that the answer is different for every person and every game. Would The Outer Worlds 2 be worth $80? I can't say. I think for some people it very much would be, but not for others. This is where the value in having trusted reviewers lies. Reviews (at least good ones) don't view a game as a product and judge it as such. Instead, they should discuss the message the game is trying to communicate through its narrative and gameplay systems, and how successful or not it is in that. They should be subjectively examining its artistic merit and how it affected them. If you have a reviewer who shares your taste in games, or you at least trust to critique a game in a way that communicates whether or not you'd enjoy it, that's the second best way to determine if a game is worth $80. The absolute best way is to play it yourself, but most of us can't do that without paying upfront cost and hoping it ends up being worth it. There's nothing wrong with wanting to know if you will like a game before you purchase it. The feeling of spending $70 on a game only to be disappointed can be gut-wrenching, and the risk only gets higher when we talk about $80 games. It would be so much easier if there were a simple metric to know with certainty if a game was worth your hard-earned cash, but there simply isn't. Games are art, and art is nuanced and deeply personal. I know times are tough out there and your dollars are more precious than ever, so I'm not suggesting you be careless. In fact, I'm asking the opposite. Let's have deeper conversations about what makes a game worth $80 or not while also understanding that the answer is going to be different for everyone.
