Welcome back, deal seekers, to another week of absolute steals across Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and those Stations of Play. Whether you’re diving into a critically acclaimed RPG, knuckling through an iconic fighting game, or shredding through a sandbox, there’s something for everyone at jaw-droppingly low prices.
This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro celebrations, I’ve lit 20 stylus-themed candles for the original Nintendo DS. To say I was excited when I slapped down my A$199 at launch would be quite the understatement. This was, after all, Nintendo’s first bona fide step into something truly different and 3D-capable after 16 years of resizing Game Boy footprints while steadily beefing up their innards.
A bright frontier (that was actually well backlit) opened up to me when I lifted the two (!!) screen clamshell of this strange silver beast. The happy days that followed were punctuated by wireless PictoChat messages of questionable taste, circle strafing duels in the bundled Metroid: Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo, and mild RSI from doing so. In the fullness of time, the DS birthed the DS Lite, DSi, and DSi XL to the tune of 154M units sold. It also gave us iconic experiences like Mario Kart DS, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and New Super Mario Bros. to name but a few bangers in its insane 3,000+ games library. Make no mistake; I simply adore my DS.
Mortal Kombat 1 developer NetherRealm has released the first gameplay for DLC guest character the T-1000 and confirmed Madam Bo as a DLC Kameo fighter.
The T-1000 gameplay shows off a number of attacks that rekindle memories of Terminator 2, including the T-1000’s blade and hook arms. The character's attacks look a bit like those belonging to Baraka and Kabal. At one point we see the T-1000 turn into a liquid metal blob before rising from the ground in an uppercut reminiscent of attacks by Killer Instinct’s Glacius.
Mortal Kombat 1's T-1000 features the voice and likeness of actor Robert Patrick, who famously played the character in the 1991 film. This teaser reveals Patrick’s voice work for the first time in a clash with Johnny Cage. It ends with a longer look at one of the T-1000’s Fatalities, which recreates the iconic chase scene in Terminator 2 where the T-1000 drives a truck in pursuit of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator and Edward Furlong’s John Connor. In the Fatality, the T-1000 blobs out of the driver’s seat to pump the hapless Cage full of lead.
Meanwhile, NetherRealm made the surprise announcement that Madam Bo is set to hit Mortal Kombat 1 as a DLC Kameo fighter at the same time as the T-1000. Madam Bo is a fan-favorite character from the base Mortal Kombat 1 story, an elderly restaurant owner who fends off Smoke and his goons before Raiden and Kung Lao get stuck in.
We see Madam Bo gameplay briefly in the teaser, first in a glimpse and you'll miss it frame as the T-1000 and Johnny Clash pre-game, then when the T-1000 calls in Madam Bo for an assist.
The T-1000 is available in Mortal Kombat 1 starting March 18 as part of the early access period for Khaos Reignsowners, followed by wide availability for purchase on March 25. Madam Bo is available on March 18 as a free content update for Khaos Reignsowners or as a standalone purchase.
T-1000 is the final DLC character set to be added to the gory fighting game as part of the Khaos Reigns expansion, and follows playable fighters Cyrax, Sektor, Noob Saibot, Ghostface, and Conan the Barbarian. Fans have wondered for some time now whether developer NetherRealm plans a third set of DLC characters, or a Kombat Pack 3, amid questions about Mortal Kombat 1’s sales success.
Most fans of the studio’s work expect it to release a third game in its DC fighting game franchise, Injustice, although neither NetherRealm nor Warner Bros. has yet to confirm that. The first game in the series, Injustice: Gods Among Us, launched in 2013, with its sequel, Injustice 2, coming out in 2017. NetherRealm released Mortal Kombat 11 in 2019 and for a time it seemed like the studio would alternate between Mortal Kombat and Injustice games, but it went on to release another Mortal Kombat, the soft reboot that is Mortal Kombat 1, in 2023 instead.
In an interview with IGN in June 2023, Boon spoke in vague terms about this decision. "There were a number of factors, some of which I can talk about, some of which I probably shouldn't," Boon said.
Two reasons Boon was willing to discuss were the unfortunate onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the team's choice to switch to a newer version of the Unreal game engine (Mortal Kombat 11 runs on Unreal Engine 3, whereas Mortal Kombat 1 runs on Unreal Engine 4).
"But we did go to a new graphics engine, Unreal," Boon said. "We really wanted to be careful with COVID and all that stuff and everybody staying safe. So there were a bunch of variables involved that eventually we realized, 'Okay, let's do another Mortal Kombat game and hopefully we'll get back to the Injustice games.' "
Just to be sure, we wanted to confirm with him directly that the door was not closed on the Injustice franchise.
"Not at all," Boon answered.

Captain America: Brave New World is approaching $300 million at the global box office, but a 68% drop in domestic revenue during its second weekend may make it hard for the MCU movie to break even.
According to Deadline, Captain America: Brave New World had a production budget of $180 million, and has a break-even point of around $425 million.
The Anthony Mackie-fronted action movie beat estimates with a $100 million domestic box office haul over the Presidents Day weekend, but with $28.2 million domestic during its second weekend, Cap’s 68% domestic box office drop is similar to that of 2023’s Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, which ended up failing to break even.
Captain America: Brave New World has now grossed an estimated $289.4 million globally ($141.2 million domestic and $148.2 million international after just two weekends, according to Comscore figures. The film earned $63.5 million worldwide over its second weekend.
And while Cap is clearly the biggest release of 2025 so far at theaters, it was hoped that its inevitable second weekend drop would be softer, given the lack of rival blockbusters in the near future. Senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian told Variety: “This is the new normal for Marvel movies. There’s still no denying these movies have appeal. But a second weekend drop of 68% reflects less audience enthusiasm than you’d expect from Marvel.”
Deadline, meanwhile, suggested Captain America: Brave New World will end up with about $450 million from the global box office.
Captain America: Brave New World launched amid poor reviews. IGN’s Captain America: Brave New World review returned a 5/10. We said: “Captain America: Brave New World feels neither brave, nor all that new, falling short of strong performances from Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford, and Carl Lumbly.”
Marvel Studios and parent company Disney will be hoping Captain America: Brave New World rebounds with enough staying power to reverse a negative trend for Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (apart from last year’s hugely successful Deadpool & Wolverine), and build momentum going into Thunderbolts* in May, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps in July.

Presidents' Day has passed, but the Secretlab Presidents' Day Sale is still live for just a little while longer. Save up to $139 off Secretlab's popular Titan line of gaming chairs, Magnus gaming desks (including the Magnus Pro electric standing desk model), and accessories like the Secretlab Skins upholstery covers, desk mats, cable management, and more. Unfortunately, newer releases like the Titan Evo Nanogen chair and the recliner add-on are exempt from this sale.
It's no secret that we love our Secretlab gaming chairs. Two of the six chairs in our best gaming chair roundup are Secretlab models. Of all the gaming chairs we covered in our "Budget to Best" roundup video earlier this year, my colleague Akeem Lawanson considered the Secretlab Titan Evo to be the most comfortable. No good chair comes cheap and Secretlab chairs definitely cost a premium, but we think the craftsmanship, materials, and customizability are worth it.
TL;DR - The 7 Best Secretlab Deals
You can quickly browse through all of the listed products on sale above. For more information on each product and why they are worth your consideration, read through below.
Secretlab Titan Evo
The Titan Evo starts at $519 during the sale. This is Secretlab's flagship chair and it's available in small, medium, and large sizes. Upholstery options include Neo Hybrid leatherette, SoftWeave Plus fabric, or premium Napa leather. The chair features cold-cure foam upholstery for the seat, a supportive four-way lumbar system, full length backrest with 165 degrees of recline, full metal 4D armrests with magnetically attached PU cushions, and a memory foam headrest pillow.
Aside from the build quality, the Titan Evo also stands out thanks to the sheer number of officially licensed designs from popular video games, TV shows, and more. Some of the more popular examples include The Witcher, Overwatch, Attack on Titan, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and Game of Thrones. They generally cost more than the standard colors, but they're worth it if you're looking for that extra personal touch.
In our Secretlab Titan Evo review, Chris Coke wrote that "after two years of daily use, the Secretlab Titan Evo has proven that it can stand the test of time and still be one of the best gaming chairs you can buy. Meaningful ergonomics paired with Secretlab’s wide selection of designs, it remains a fantastic option, especially for fans of bright colors or designs."
Secretlab Titan 2020
The prior model Titan 2020 gaming chair is available for $474, which is $45 less than the base model Titan Evo. The Titan 2020 is still an excellent chair and not much different than the current Evo model. In fact, outside of an upholstery change (the PU leather has been updated with Neo Hybrid Leatherette), the changes are mostly cosmetic. You are limited to fewer design options, so if you want to build out something that's truly unique, you might want to splurge a bit extra for the current generation Titan Evo model.
Secretlab Titan Evo Lite
Among the Titan chairs, the Evo Lite is definitely the best value with its starting price tag of $419, or a full $100 less than the base model Titan Evo. It's built upon the same frame as the Titan Evo and has the same core features like the cold-cure foam cushioning, lumbar, 165 degrees of recline, and 4D armrests. What it compromises on is customization, with "only" two upholstery options, two sizes, and five colors, a non-adjustable lumbar system, simpler arm rests, and no included head rest. If none of these tradeoffs bother you, then you'll be saving quite a bit of money.
Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition
Although the Titan Evo Nanogen Edition isn't on sale, it deserves mention simply because this is our top pick for the best gaming chair. In our Titan Evo Nanogen Edition review, Chris Coke wrote that "the Secretlab Titan Evo Nanogen Edition deserves every bit of the overwhelming praise I’ve given. Granted, at $799 it’s significantly more expensive than the original and not far off from an entry-level Herman-Miller. But the return it offers in comfortable, supportive gaming is well worth the extra cost thanks to dramatically improved materials in both the fabric and multi-layered padding. The Titan Evo Nanogen Edition is class-leading, and is hands-down the most comfortable gaming chair I’ve ever used."
Secretlab Titan Recliner Add-On
Secretlab also announced a new recliner add-on to anyone who already owns the Titan Evo chair. It's so new that not only will this recliner ship out sometime next year, it's not even available for preorder yet. We have received a unit for testing, however, and it has turned out to be a very practical addition.
In our recliner add-on review, Chris Coke wrote that "while both comfort and value are subjective things, the recliner is able to take the Titan Evo and transform it from one of the best racing style gaming chairs to standing head and shoulders above the competition at its price point. It’s novel enough that I wouldn’t be surprised to see other brands following suit in the near future. If you don’t mind paying for it, it’s an absolutely killer upgrade for your gaming chair."
Secretlab Magnus and Magnus Pro
The Magnus and Magnus Pro are also on sale during Cyber Monday. The Magnus is a traditional fixed-frame gaming desk while the Magnus Pro ups the ante with a custom designed electric standing desk frame for an additional $250. Both desks feature an all-metal desktop surface, solid steel legs and cleverly thought out areas for cable management, but the Magnus Pro has some really unique features including a power cable that runs internally inside one of the telescoping legs and an in-line control panel that you won't bump into.
In our Secretlab Magnus Pro review. Mark Knapp writes that "the Secretlab Magnus Pro is a fantastic desk, bringing the brilliant cable management solutions of the original Magnus to a fast, quiet, and wide-ranging motorized standing desk. The desk is built well and proves an excellent platform for work and play alike. It’s an expensive desk though, and for the money, it would have been nice to see a smarter safety mechanism for the motors and the desk mat included. Still, the overall quality you get is a big step up from cheaper standing desks, and the optional accessories truly enhance the experience. Anyone who’s not committed to a standing desk should save their money and go for the standard Magnus if everything else about this model sounds good, but for gamers who love a tidy desk and want the flexibility of a standing desk, the Magnus Pro should be the first they consider."

Grosse Pointe Garden Society premires Sunday, February 23 at 10 p.m. ET.
From Desperate Housewives to How to Get Away with Murder and Good Girls, we’ve seen plenty of soapy dramas where a group of people suddenly commit a crime then go to great lengths to pretend everything is still normal while their seemingly perfect lives fall apart around them. It's a simple hook, but one that can be mined for great escapism. If done correctly, it can offer a mix of character drama, suspense, and sarcastic humor. But it's not a foolproof formula, as the first four episods of Grosse Pointe Garden Society prove. While the dynamic between the characters is compelling, and some of the individual storylines are quite fun to follow, the different elements don't quite mix together into an absorbing mystery.
From Good Girls creator Jenna Bans (who also wrote for Desperate Housewives) and Bill Krebs (co-showrunner on Good Girls), Grosse Pointe Garden Society opens with its four leads burying a body in a lavish garden in the affluent suburb of Grosse Pointe. This is the kind of place where everything and everyone looks as if it were approved by a committee, where nothing happens without the entire community hearing about it, where the biggest show of creativity is the annual garden competition. The questions of who the dead body is, how they were killed, and why they were killed echo throughout the show, which slowly (very slowly) moves toward providing answers. Unfortunately, the opening episodes take such a slow approach to revealing new hints and pieces of the puzzle that by the time we actually start learning what happened, it feels uninspired and redundant.
Thankfully, there's more to Grosse Pointe Garden Society than its dull central mystery. The story is told across two timelines, each offering some campy fun. In the present, we see the events leading up to the murder, as we learn about the lives of the titular society and the many potential victims that the characters would want to rid from their lives. Though many of the side stories feel like they’re being rushed through, they are some that are so bonkers that it's impossible to look away. (To name one, and to offer a warning to pet owners: A lost dog turns out to be murdered!) Meanwhile, we get a glimpse of six months into the future, when the group scrambles to cover up their crime. It’s here that the group dynamic shines brightest.
The characters are what make Grosse Pointe Garden Society enjoyable. The principals – AnnaSophia Robb, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, Melissa Fumero –have great chemistry. Sadly, they’re attending to their individual arcs for most of the first four episodes, only really converging in the future timeline. There's Alice (Robb), a high-school English teacher fighting against her husband's wishes to abandon her artistry to become an ordinary and respectable member of Grosse Pointe society. She's the one with the dog that gets murdered, which does result in some delicious drama when she starts doubting the people closest to her – but once that subplot is abandoned, her character has little to do. Next up is Catherine (King), an unhappily married mother of two who uses her realtor job to cheat on her husband, and ends up too entangled with her lover, who wants to destroy her life. Though King is no stranger to this kind of show – having delivered a great performance in How to Get Away with Murder – she, like Robb, gets little to play with in Grosse Pointe Garden Society, trapped in a flat subplot with a character who’s mostly reacting to people around her.
The two standouts are Brett (Rappaport) – the garden store manager who scores some laughs with his paranoia and nervousness in the post-crime timeline – and the absolute MVP of the season so far, Birdie (Fumero). This is the main reason to watch the show: To witness former Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Fumero shed her high-strung onscreen persona and play a needy socialite who joins the Garden Society as part of her community service sentence after a DUI. (Naturally, she spends every episode day-drinking.) Birdie is a hot mess, yet she’s a delight to watch. And she contains multitudes: a subplot involving the son she gave up for adoption as a baby is emotional, but also boasts some moments of chaotic amusement.

AliExpress is currently offering the Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless noise canceling headphones for only $221.10 after coupon code: USAFF30 is applied during checkout. This product is also sotcked in a US warehouse, so it ships free and arrives within about a week. This is a genuine Sony product, however keep in mind that this is probably an import model with a warranty that won't be honored in the United States. AliExpress makes up for it with a 15-day free return policy and guarantees a refund if your order doesn't arrive within 20 days. The WH-1000XM5 is considered by many to be the best noise cancelling headphones under $400 and on par with the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and AirPods Max.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones for $221
In our glowing Sony WH1000XM5 review, Kevin Lee wrote that "The Sony WH-1000XM5 is hands down the best sounding and most impressive noise-canceling headphones around. They demand a high premium but the cost of audio excellence is well worth it with this pair of headphones."
The prior generation Sony XM4 was already an outstanding headphone, but the XM5 features key improvements in noise cancellation and comfort. The XM5 has been fitted with a second processor and double the microphone count dedicated to filtering out ambient noise. The earcups have also been redesigned so that they fit more snugly on the ear, thus creating a better seal and as a result, more effective passive noise isolation. The noise cancelling is noticeably better than the XM4 and pretty much any other noise cancelling headset in its price range.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 has also been updated with a noticeably sleeker redesign with a different style of headband adjustment. The band is wider than before for better weight distribution and the earcup padding is now made of a luxurious synthetic leather material that's softer and more comfortable. You can easily wear these headphones for hours. One small drawback, however, is that the XM5 can no longer be folded inward, only swivelled, so it's less compact.
The Sony WH-1000XM5 retains the XM4's excellent battery life at over 30 hours on a single charge even with ANC activated. The XM5 also supports fast charging over USB Type-C.
Best of all, at this price, the XM5 is considerably less expensive than its competitors like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and the AirPods Max. If you're already in the market for a premium noise cancelling headphone, you should jump on this deal.

Over the past decade, the popularity and demand for LEGO has soared. What was once a building toy for children has expanded its audience to include teens and adults. And the sets themselves have expanded in detail, utility, and variance.
Some sets are built for play. Others are built for display, as dioramas or expensive collectibles. And a growing number of sets are lifestyle accessories – wall decorations, plants, and flowers – that integrate themselves into the living space.
There are hundreds of LEGO sets currently available for purchase, across a wide variety of piece counts, themes, and prices. And interested buyers might run into two primary problems: not finding the set they want, and if they do, not finding it at a reasonable price.
The most common reason for either problem is that the specific set is "retired." LEGO retires all its sets – even its popular ones – to make room for new ones. And this has created a rampant resell culture, in which merchants mark up their inventory up to 2-3 times their original price.
It's also a hard reality that LEGO is expensive, period, and has been getting more so for the past several years. Take, for example, the massive, 7541-piece Star Wars Millennium Falcon that launched in 2017. At the time, it cost $800, which was already well above the typical '10 cents per piece' rate of most LEGO sets. Today, that same set costs $850.
You can alleviate these problems by being a smart, meticulous consumer. Here are the best places to shop for lego sets in 2025, along with the best times to look for deals.
Where to Buy LEGO Sets Online
The first, most obvious place to shop for LEGO online is the official LEGO Store, which has the widest selection available and is easily sortable by theme, price, release date, and customer rating. LEGO has responsive customer service as well as a LEGO Insiders program. It's free to sign up, and it comes with numerous perks.
You can buy sets before they launch to the general public. You can receive free sets as incentives for spending money. And there are several sets that are exclusive to the LEGO Store, which cannot be bought from a third-party retailer.
The most appealing aspect of the LEGO Store is its point system. Every dollar you spend converts to 6.5 points. 130 points is the equivalent of $1. That works out to 5% of whatever money you put into the system, which you save up and redeem towards a future purchase.
There are also specific times during the year where you can earn double the points, which maximizes the program's value. More on that later.
Your other best online options are Amazon and the online storefronts for Target and Walmart. While they do not have the point system or the exclusivity of the official store, they offer modest discounts for most of their sets. The LEGO Store, meanwhile, typically charges full retail price except on select occasions, like when it's trying to get rid of inventory near the end of a set's run.
Thus, it becomes a matter of doing the math and weighing your options. Would you rather get a set with a 10% discount at Target.com (which does technically accept LEGO Insider points, but at an exchange rate that defeats the purpose)? Or would you rather pay full retail price at the online LEGO Store, but receive a future discount and an exclusive small set for free?
Where to Buy Retired Sets Online
Lastly, there are the unofficial online marketplaces on Craigslist, EBay, Facebook, and more. If you're looking for a retired set, this is your only option, and be warned: your acquisition will come at a steep price. Definitely get in touch with the seller directly, definitely haggle, and definitely shop around to get the best possible deal.
Where to Buy LEGO Sets in Stores
Brick-and-mortar stores are your other option. It is unlikely you'll find a wider diversity of sets in person than you would online, but many people prefer personalized attention and want to physically handle a set before purchasing it.
The in-person LEGO Store is a great choice for the same reasons that the online LEGO Store is a great choice. The LEGO Insiders program and its point system carry over to either option. LEGO Stores also provide interactive fun. They often contain a LEGO building station and a LEGO minifigure station, where you can choose from hundreds of body parts and accessories to create your own Mini-Me.
Target and Walmart have dedicated LEGO sections in their stores, and again, should be evaluated against the LEGO Store's inventory on a case-by-case basis. Gamestop occasionally sells gaming-themed LEGO sets. Barnes and Noble sells LEGO as well: lifestyle sets, impulse purchase smaller sets, and Harry Potter sets (which makes sense, since Harry Potter is one of the best selling book franchises in history). It is unlikely that smaller outlets will be offering discounts. But it doesn't hurt to look.
When Do LEGO Sets Go on Sale?
Aside from regular discounts at the box-stores (which are the baseline default, rather than the exception), LEGO sets rarely receive discounts. The demand is high, and LEGO would rather retire a set than discount it. But there are specific times of the year when LEGO sets go on sale to watch out for.
LEGO typically celebrates May 4 (Star Wars Day) by offering double the Insider points for purchasing Star Wars sets. LEGO also celebrates March 10 (Mario Day) by partnering with Nintendo and offering similar deals. So watch out for notable anniversaries, particularly as they relate to 3rd party franchises.
Always look for clearance deals at the box-stores, which are more common at the beginning of the year. That's when LEGO retires scores of old sets and launches scores of new sets. This requires the 3rd party retailers to refresh their inventory.
Lastly, the holiday season is ideal for deep discounts, particularly on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Amazon Prime Days, which run in July and October, are also solid opportunities. Keep an eye out for any upcoming sales events for potential LEGO deals.

HP just added the option to add the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU as an upgrade to one of its flagship HP Omen 45L prebuilt gaming PCs and, fortunately, it is very reasonably priced for a prebuilt RTX 5090 desktop relative to what we've seen from other brands.
