The official Amazon Presidents Day sale got off to an early start this year, as per usual. But the actual day has arrived and that means the clock is ticking to get in on the action. As we warned folks about last week, not all of the best deals were going to make it through the week and last through today – the Google Pixel 10 lineup is a great example of this – but there is still a massive lineup of price drops up for grabs and you have less than 24 hours to get in on many of them – Apple gear, Samsung Galaxy, loads of kitchen appliances, apparel, and much more.

Earlier this week Sony officially announced when its first major State of Play showcase of 2026 would be, and that day has arrived.
