Best Pre-Amazon Prime Day 2018 Deals Available Now
<p>Amazon's <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/amazon-prime-day-deals/">Prime Day</a> doesn't start until July 16, but the online retailer is already offering a number of deals to spark interest and get people talking about the retail holiday. The only hitch is that, like the deals on Prime Day, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to get the sale prices. You can <a href="https://www.amazon.com/amazonprime">sign up for Prime here</a>, with a free one-month trial for first-time subscribers. With that out of the way, let's look at what pre-Prime Day deals are available to Amazon Prime members right now.</p><h2>Free PC Games</h2><figure data-align="center" data-size="large" data-img-src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3409808-twitch-to-livestream-the-e3-event.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-3409808" data-ratio="0.56268656716418" data-width="670" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 670px"><a href="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3409808-twitch-to-livestream-the-e3-event.jpg"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3409808-twitch-to-livestream-the-e3-event.jpg" srcset="https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/1165/11653967/3409808-twitch-to-livestream-the-e3-event.jpg 670w, https://static.gamespot.com/uploads/scal...-event.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px" data-width="670"></a></figure><p>Amazon owns the streaming platform Twitch, and each month Amazon/Twitch Prime members get free PC games.
