Get ahead of the game with the right gaming gear

As game publishers are getting ready to announce their latest releases, now is the time for you to assess your gaming setup and complete it so you can make the most of the new games when they come out.
Upgrade your console for enhanced performance
Over the past two years, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo have each released new consoles that can instantly improve your gaming experience. The PlayStation 5, for example, packs a blazing fast SSD that virtually eliminates load times. Although compact, the Xbox Series S delivers great visuals, while the Nintendo Switch OLED lets you enjoy gaming on the go on a vibrant 7-inch screen. Jon Scarr, the Best Buy Blog’s gaming editor, reviewed each of these consoles for us, so make sure to read his reviews to learn more about their specs and his experience using them: PS5 review, Xbox Series S review, Nintendo Switch OLED review. Also keep reading this article to learn how to enter this contest for a chance to win one of them!
Make the most of your games with a gaming TV or VR headset
Enjoy your games to their fullest potential by pairing your console with a TV optimised for gaming. Besides allowing you to enjoy your games on a big screen, gaming TVs like the Samsung 65″ 4K HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV include key features that reduce lag and motion blur to help improve your game play. If you’re looking for a truly immersive experience though, the Meta Quest 2 VR headset with touch controllers takes you right into the action and lets you experience games like never before.
Take your PC gaming experience to the next level with these accessories
If you’re a PC gamer, you can also improve your game play and overall gaming experience by adding a few accessories to your setup. A gaming headset like the Turtle Beach Stealth 700X Gen 2 can make you feel as if you were in the midsts of the action, while a gaming keyboard like the HyperX Alloy Origins 65 and gaming mouse like the Corsair Nightsword can give you the precision and ergonomics you need to keep comfortably playing for hours on end. Make sure to read our PC gaming buying guide that covers everything you need for the ultimate gaming setup to learn more.

Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) Console – Neon Red/Blue
So I can finally have my little brother play all the switch games I brought for him. The only Nintendo system he doesn’t have
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/nintendo-switch-oled-model-console-neon-red-blue/15598574
The Samsung 65″ 4K UHD Tizen QLED Smart TV would really help my gaming setup I currently have a 15 year old TV that doesn’t work well with my PS5 anymore. Since the Samsung 4K Smart TV has HDMI 2.1 and a 120HZ refresh rate, I can have fun with the most frames from my PS5 and with the 4K and HDR giving me a new way to immerse into some of the games I play.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
Really hoping to catch a Ps5 restock soon and move into the next gen.
I’d love to get ahold of a PS5 to see GT7 in all its glory!
The Samsung QLED would be my first proper 4k screen with HDMI 2.1 if i am selected in the draw. It would allow me to experience the new and old games from my playstation at a quality and clarity that my setup does not have currently. Loking forward to playing titles like GOD OF WAR Ragarok and Hogwarts legacy on it.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
i would like to get a PS5 for myself i always have seen people playing but never got my own
The Samsung QLED would be a great addition to my setup. Since it has HDMI 2.1 and VRR I could take full advantage of what my PS5 can display!!
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
The Razer gaming chair looks super comfortable and a lot better than the old chair i currently have, would love to have an upgrade.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/razer-iskur-x-ergonomic-faux-leather-gaming-chair-black-green/15601429
A new tv would improve my gaming experience tremendously. Currently using a 15 year old tv and it’s begging for an upgrade!
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-led-tizen-smart-tv-un65tu7000fxzc-titan-grey/14469364?source=category&asSlot=1
All things gaming! Consoles, Accessories, and fanfare like exclusive merch from popular IP’s
The Razer Iskur X Ergonomic Faux Leather Gaming Chair
would be perfect for gaming. My current chair is very uncomfortable. Would love this!
I’d love to get a Xbox series X, as I’ve never had an xbox console before and am curious to try one out.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/xbox-series-x-1tb-console/14964951
PS5 please!
Would love a new Meta Quest 2 or a PS5+TV bundle!
This gaming TV would make my gaming experience more immersive and impressive! https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
I would love to get a digital PS5. I haven’t had a PlayStation console since the PS3, so it would be awesome to get to catch up on all the games I’ve missed.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/playstation-5-digital-edition-console/15689335
My daughter has been asking for a new monitor to be able to see better when she is gaming so I think this would be perfect for her
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-odyssey-g5-27-qhd-165hz-1ms-gtg-curved-va-lcd-freesync-gaming-monitor-ls27ag550enxza-black/15963030
The Samsung 65″ 4K UHD HDR QLED Tizen Smart TV would massively improve my gaming experience, as my current TV is old, resolution isn’t great, it’s not even really a smart TV — not to mention, the screen size is way smaller!
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
It would be awesome to get the Nintendo Switch OLED with the game Mario Strikers as I’ve been an avid Nintendo fan and would love to play it with my nephew. I would just be able to bring it on the go and plug and play.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/nintendo-switch-oled-model-console-white/15598575
This VR headset would let me be a big part of the action in my gaming.https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/meta-quest-2-128gb-vr-headset-with-touch-controllers/15490835
I would love the Samsung 65″ TV and as a gamer this would upgrade my experience drastically, I bought a small tv from bestbuy a few years ago and have been gaming on it ever since I got it but it has color issues and backlight issues, I hear rave reviews of OLED tv’s from my friends and can’t afford them on my disability income so this would be a massive upgrade for me if you pick me, much love.
https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
This gaming TV would make my gaming experience more immersive and impressive! https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/samsung-65-4k-uhd-hdr-qled-tizen-smart-tv-qn65q75aafxzc-only-at-best-buy/16009722
Hard not to want the 65″ 4k Samsung QLED Tizen Smart Tv. With HDMI 2.1 and up to 120Hz, you’d be getting the smoothest gaming TV around at the best refresh rate possible for any modern console. 4K QLED panel would offer the richest, most vibrant and dynamic picture TVs have so far. Basically, this is the height of gaming on a TV and it doesn’t even need to be with a console thanks to the PC on TV function. Add in pre-loaded popular apps like Netflix, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa functionality, built-in WiFi 5, Airplay 2 and Bluetooth and you’ve got the latest, smartest tv functionality. There’s nothing you’re missing out on with this tv and it’s built perfectly for gaming in your living room with a huge 65″ screen. Can’t not want it.
