[gpt3] Hãy viết lại bài viết dài kèm hashtag sự kiện ngày hôm nay bằng tiếng VIệt: The 181 best last-minute Prime Day deals you can still grab
We won’t sugarcoat it: most Prime Day deals aren’t all that exciting. Amazon has a knack for running perpetual sales and advertising deep discounts, some of which aren’t all that different than what you might see throughout the rest of the year. The good news is that, even with only a few hours left to go, there are still plenty of gadgets and gizmos worth shelling out for if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber.
Below, you’ll find the very best deals spotted by The Verge’s crack team of curators. There are smart home gadgets aplenty, gaming gear galore, and a whole lot more — including headphones, smartwatches, and a surplus of home theater equipment. We’re even seeing new low prices on some of the other fun favorites our staffers like, from D&D starter sets to electric kettles to a sublime edition of The Silmarillion. You can find all of that and more in our comprehensive Prime Day guide.
Don’t forget to sign up for a Prime subscription if you aren’t already a member. It’s a requirement to access Prime-specific deals. You can get a free 30-day trial if you’ve never signed up, which is more than enough time to shop the sale and take advantage of the membership’s deep bucket of benefits. Just watch out for that pesky autorenewal.

Below, you’ll find the very best deals spotted by The Verge’s crack team of curators. There are smart home gadgets aplenty, gaming gear galore, and a whole lot more — including headphones, smartwatches, and a surplus of home theater equipment.
