There are a good number of Christmas-themed LEGO sets available now, but this Christmas tree is the best deal available. It’s actually a 2-in-1 build because you can use the pieces to build one big Christmas tree, or two smaller trees. Either way, $25 for this set is a killer deal ahead of the holidays.

You can buy Xbox Crocs with a controller layout on the front of them. I really don't need to say anything else to make you understand that you need them on your feet at all times. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The Xbox Ally X and Xbox Ally come with a redesigned Xbox interface that should make it easier than ever to stay away from the full-fat Windows 11 interface, but at some point, you're probably going to need to spend some time there to install and set up your non-Xbox games, tinker with settings, or otherwise use these handheld gaming machines more like a regular Windows laptop or desktop. When that time comes, a dock is absolutely indispensable, allowing you to connect a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and other peripherals while also keeping the console charged and ready to go. Docks are also great for turning the Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X into couch gaming machines, though you'll need a gamepad or other controller as well. This dock from Jsaux is our top pick at present, offering HDMI 2.1 compatibility, gigabit ethernet, two full-size USB ports, USB-C and 100W of pass-through charging.

Battery life is always going to be a concern on the Xbox Ally handhelds, even with the improvements found in the new streamlined version of Windows they sport – and their modern AMD Ryzen Z2 series processors. Having a portable charger on hand can go some way to alleviating battery life anxiety though, with this particular example from Anker giving you an extra 20,000mAh to play with. That should pretty much double your expected battery life, and with up to 65W of output to a single port, the console will recharge even if you're playing a graphically demanding game at the same time.

If you want to use the Xbox Ally X or Xbox Ally with your TV in a more traditional console experience, then you'll need to pick up a gamepad or two. A huge variety of controllers will work here, including standard Xbox Series controllers in Bluetooth mode, but we like the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 as it comes with a convenient USB-C wireless dongle for lower latency and offers better durability than the first-party Microsoft alternative thanks to its TMR joysticks and Hall Effect triggers.

This Jsaux slim case is our top choice, offering great protection for the Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X while taking up minimal space. That means there's only room for a few MicroSD or full-size SD cards to be held inside, rather than having a special cavity for extra docks, chargers, or other accessories, but I think that's a reasonable trade-off for anyone that largely uses their Xbox handheld as just that, a handheld.

There are a few niceties here, including a soft inner lining that feels pleasant to touch, extra raised cavities to protect the thumbsticks, and a small handle that means you can carry the case easily in one hand. However, this is still probably best used as a true travel case, packed within a larger bag or backpack.

For the money, this is a great case that absolutely nails the essentials that doesn't overstuff extra features that you may not need.

If you prefer a high-end case for your high-end PC gaming handheld, this official option from Asus is excellent. It combines a slim travel case with a detachable accessory pouch, letting you bring everything in one combined unit or leave the accessories at home to travel lighter. The case itself has a water-repellent coating that should save the unit from accidental splashes or light showers, while the memory card sleeve inside can be folded up to serve as a makeshift stand. There's also a fleece inner lining that keeps the console safe and protected while in transit.

This is a thicker and heavier case than our No. 1 pick, and it costs more too, but it does also give you plenty of added functionality. If you have a bunch of accessories for the Xbox Ally that you'd like to keep in one convenient place, this is a great way to go about it.

The Tomtoc Shoulder Bag is an absolute classic, with a roomy design that can accommodate a wide range of gaming handhelds, including the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X. If you have more than one handheld, then this is a great option given its versatile sizing.

The bag's W-shaped internal structure can be left alone to provide extra protection and rigidity around the vulnerable thumbsticks of your handheld, or removed to save space and weight. I kept this installed throughout my testing, and still found I had plenty of space to pack in cables, a dock, a wall adapter and other accessories without the bag feeling overstuffed.

This is a shoulder bag, but you can also remove the strap to save some space if you're planning to keep this in a larger bag or backpack most of the time. I found myself doing this on one trip, and ended up placing all of my tech inside to simplify my packing, which worked well.

If you prefer a cover to a case, then DBrand make the best option available right now, a variant of the Killswitch case that debuted with the original Switch and has been developed for subsequent gaming handhelds. The idea is that the case provides both protection and extra grip, making for a more comfortable gaming experience with relatively little added weight or heft. You also get a choice of skins, including fun X-ray designs in two colors, to change the look of your device.

While the default allocation includes the case, a kickstand, and a skin of your choice, you can also add on a travel cover which provides extra protection while the Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X is not being used. Other add-ons include stick grips and screen protectors, both of which are well-implemented.

I've been using a DBrand case for my Switch 2 since the console released, and I've found that it makes a big difference to ergonomic comfort. The Xbox Ally is already a more comfortable device, thanks to its thicker frame, but extra grip and extra protection is always welcome.

How to Pick the Best Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X Case

Thus far, most of the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X cases that we've highlighted are relatively similar. That means you can't go too far wrong, though it is worth considering where you fall on the "everything I need" to "slim and stylish" spectrum. If you have a penchant for packing portable chargers, extra cables, and other sensible Xbox Ally X accessories all in the same bag, then it makes sense to go for a larger option. However, if you're likely to pack this extra gear elsewhere, or leave it at home, then going for a slimmer option means that you can leave more space in your bag for other things – or get away with a smaller bag altogether. The Tomtoc carrying case above includes a strap, making it a great choice if you want a standalone case that doesn't need to be shoved into a larger bag.

We've constructed this list to favor cases and bags that specifically call out compatibility for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, due to their bigger width versus prior PC handhelds, but it's worth also checking other cases that you may have purchased for other handhelds, including the Switch and Switch 2. The larger of these may be able to pull double duty as an Xbox Ally or Xbox Ally X carrier, though we still recommend picking up something that's specially shaped to fit these unique consoles.

It's also worth bearing in mind that there's a big size difference between the ROG Xbox Ally consoles –including the ROG Xbox Ally X and ROG Xbox Ally that are the focus of this article – and the similarly named ROG Ally X and ROG Ally. These slightly older devices lack the "Xbox" part of the name, and are significantly slimmer: 1.28 inches for the 2023 ROG Ally, 1.45 inches for the 2024 ROG Ally X, and 2 inches for the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X models. That means the thicker Xbox Ally handhelds are unlikely to fit in most cases built for the non-Xbox Ally devices.

I don't really do much shopping at Walmart outside of Black Friday, but I have to admit that the retailer does consistently have some of the best Black Friday deals every year. More specifically, Walmart launched its sale with discounts on select Apple products and video games that, frankly, can't be beat. Amazon has price-matched a number of new discounts that Walmart just launched, including a number of LEGO deals, but for the most part this sale has discounts you simply can't find anywhere else. This has been especially true for things like Nvidia 50-series GPUs, which Walmart has been better about keeping in stock. There are even exclusive products like the Icon Blue PS5 Dualsense controller that is both exclusive to Walmart and on sale right now.

Walmart's Black Friday sale is scheduled to last from now through November 30 before switching to Cyber Monday deals. I'd expect there to be more deals dropping on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, especially for things like high-end TVs, but in the meantime here are some of the best discounts worth checking out today.

Amazon Has the Most Black Friday Deals

The Amazon Black Friday sale – which first launched last Thursday and has been adding new deals pretty much every time a new sale elsewhere goes live – is by far the biggest one available. Amazon has all of the PlayStation Black Friday deals and Nintendo Black Friday deals that went live over the weekend, with the exception of a few individual games. The Super Mario Odyssey deal, for example, went out of stock at Amazon pretty quickly and is now only available at Target and Walmart. With that in mind, I'd say Amazon is generally the best Black Friday sale online, as long as it can maintain its stock with popular items. It's also hands-down the best place to buy Amazon-owned devices and services like Kindle e-readers or an Audible premium subscription.

The sheer size of Amazon's sale makes it the easiest to shop overall, which is really the draw. It's easy to search for discounts and almost everything that's on sale will be at the lowest price you can find online. Because of how connected it is to other online sales, Amazon is the most likely to have new discounts starting on actual Black Friday. Target has already stated that another round of Black Friday deals are set to drop on November 28, and Amazon has matched pretty much everything Target has done so far.

Which Black Friday Sale Should You Shop First?

As part of IGN's Deals team, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't recommend you shop around before you buy anything. But with that in mind, I'd recommend starting your shopping at Amazon first. You can't really beat the convenience of Amazon when it comes to online shopping, and the fact that the retailer automatically tries to price-match most items makes it a good starting point. Walmart definitely has some really good deals, but once you start utilizing the search function it becomes a lot harder to discern what is actually a Black Friday deal and what's just a third-party listing for a product or a refurbished item.

The exception to this is that even though Amazon has pretty much everything, it doesn't actually have everything. Some of the best Black Friday sales are available directly from manufacturers rather than major retailers. For example, if you're hoping to buy a Dell laptop this week, your best bet is to shop the Dell Black Friday sale directly rather than go through Amazon. The same applies to most major brands, with the exception of Apple's Black Friday sale, which is actually quite lame.

The Harry Potter movies are near and dear to my heart, and I can't believe the first movie is turning 25 next year! If you haven't seen the movies in a while, they are absolutely worth revisiting, and this 8-film collection is the perfect way to experience them again. With a brand new Harry Potter HBO series due out next year, now is a great time to catch up on the original films.

The Harry Potter 8-film collection contains:

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)
8. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)

But the Harry Potter deals don't stop there. Amazon has marked down the LEGO Harry Potter Mandrake set to its lowest price ever at $40.99. This set is marked for retirement soon, so it may be the last time you'll be able to purchase it.

Amazon's Black Friday sale is underway, and features hundreds of great deals that you can score right now. Other retailers have kicked off their big sales, too, including Best Buy, Walmart, and Target, so get to shopping before the deals are gone!

The LEGO Ideas The Insect Collection 21342 is a collection of three separate builds comprised of 1,111 brick pieces in total. Each build is modeled after a real insect: the blue morpho butterfly, Hercules beetle, and Chinese praying mantis. They're all roughly the same size, with the mantis measuring 7 inches high, 6.5 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. These are fairly large, lifelike models and you'll definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth.

Each bug build is poseable and includes additional elements like leaves and branches, flowers, mushrooms, and even a buildable honeybee. LEGO collectors will also be delighted to know that there are some unique printed pieces, like the 7-spotted ladybug. There are no stickers in this set, and there's plenty of variety and color, making it a perfect example of what a LEGO "Ideas" set should be. It's also one of the best $40 sets I've seen.

Star Trek: TNG, as it’s known to all the coolest of people, debuted in 1987 and ran for seven seasons. It introduced what, to my mind, is easily the best Enterprise crew ever assembled. You have the Captain Picard, Riker, Troi, Worf, Data, Beverly Crusher, and all the rest. It’s a deep bench of beloved characters, who travel the universe seeking out, as they say, new life and new civilizations.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is such a good show that even its less-than-stellar episodes are worth watching just to hang out with the crew. For me, the show is so cozy that watching it is like basking in bridge ambiance as you drift off to sleep. I could live on that ship – and after spending 178 television episodes with the crew, it kind of feels like you do. The episodes are all here along with various bonus material, spread across 41 discs. It’s a lot!

For more Star Trek: TNG goodness, you’ll want to keep an eye out for LEGO Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise, which launches on Black Friday, November 28. And for more deals, check out Amazon’s early Black Friday deals. Or Target’s. Or Best Buy’s. There are plenty of sales to go around, even this far ahead of Black Friday proper.

Prebuilt gaming PCs have always had a problem with proprietary hardware, and the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i really does show we're through those dark ages. It used to be that if you bought a gaming PC from Lenovo or Dell, you'd get a tower that was plenty powerful for the time, but because it was using some bespoke motherboard or power supply, you were limited when it came to upgrading your system.

The tower has been updated with new hardware, now with the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and an RTX 5080, but when we reviewed it we were surprised by how much more it costs this time – even if it has genuinely excellent gaming performance. Not much other than the price and the components have changed, though.

You still get a straightforward mid-tower case housing industry-standard hardware, making it incredibly easy to fix it if something breaks or upgrade once new hardware comes out. Don't get me wrong: The Tower 7i does fall into some of the same pitfalls of any prebuilt system these days – Lenovo cheaped out a bit on the memory and the motherboard – but because all the components are the standard size, you can just swap both of those components out for better stuff when you can afford it.

This results in a gaming PC that's not just great because it plays games well, but because it serves as an entry point to customizing your own system. Building an entire system from the ground up can be an intimidating and time-consuming thing; upgrading one or two parts of your PC is way more approachable.

When you're getting a prebuilt gaming PC, you're generally looking for something that works but also looks amazing. To be honest, there aren't a lot of PC manufacturers that really nail the latter – especially among big names. But the Asus ROG G700 genuinely looks amazing, even if it leans a little further toward its "gamer" influences than some people may prefer.

This gaming PC has RGB-lit panels in several areas, bedecked with ROG logos. This is something the company likes to do with its motherboards, but now extends to the case itself. To be fair, part of this is because Asus didn't include an expensive motherboard like the ROG Maximus Z890 Extreme. But it still kind of looks like a high-end motherboard is in there, as long as you don't look too closely. Asus also hid the power supply and all the cables under a PSU shroud. That's relatively common, but what sets this one apart is a bit of prose about "being unconventional" that's backlit by RGB. Never change, ROG.

As for the system itself, the model we reviewed is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, 32GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. That's more than powerful enough to handle most games at 4K, with only Black Myth: Wukong falling below 60fps with everything cranked. If that build is a little too much for you, you can get it with an RTX 4060 for much less, but I would advise getting at least an RTX 5060, especially for the premium Asus charges for putting this rig togther.

Not all gaming PCs are either prohibitively expensive or lack power with dated hardware, and the iBuyPower Trace 7 Mesh Gaming Desktop is proof. With it comes the latest 14th-generation Intel Core i7 processor for speedy performance in everyday tasks and games. When paired with the best budget GPU, Nvidia’s RTX 4060, this rig has enough processing headroom to sail through games in 1080p at high frame rates. Looking to play in 1440p? It shouldn’t have a problem cruising through non-ray-traced games like Total War: Warhammer 3.

The iBuyPower Trace 7 Mesh Gaming Desktop is even a viable option for those ready to dip their toes in game streaming, as its current-gen processors partner perfectly with the 32GB of high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM. So, running Twitch along with a game shouldn’t slow things down too much. Storage wasn't overlooked: A 1TB SSD is baked in for speedy app launches and saves.

Even if this gaming PC isn’t as powerful as some premium options, it still gets hot. Luckily, the case is roomy with mesh at the front and top panels for proper airflow and ventilation. Three ARGB fans at the front and one at the back aid in keeping things frosty. However, better cooling options couldn't hurt. Luckily, iBuyPower has made things relatively easy to upgrade. With Nvidia’s RTX 5000 series and 15th-gen Intel Arrow Lake processors dropping sometime in the not-too-distant future, it’s nice to have the option to update hardware rather than starting from scratch. Just be sure the B760 D5 motherboard and 600W PSU can handle those newer components.

Given all that's on offer for less than $1,500, the iBuyPower Trace 7 Mesh Gaming Desktop is a great value. What helps elevate this budget gaming PC even further is the inclusion of a gaming keyboard and mouse with some flashy RGB lighting. These aren’t the best peripherals out there, but perfect for those just beginning their gaming journey.

Shopping for a mini gaming PC is an exercise in compromise. You can get an extremely small gaming PC like the Asus ROG NUC, but in order for the chassis to get down to that size, there are major losses in performance. Asus handles this by equipping the ROG NUC with a mobile-class RTX 5080 and an Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, the latter of which is typically found in Ultrabooks. This is more than enough horsepower to power most games at 1080p, but you will run into issues at higher resolutions, especially in demanding games like Black Myth: Wukong.

Now, I haven't reviewed this year's model of the Asus ROG NUC. However, I did review last year's Asus ROG NUC with this in mind, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled games at 1080p. At that resolution, I was able to run pretty much any game under the sun at maxed-out settings while maintaining 60fps. That's impressive, given that the PC is basically the size of a cable box and can fit pretty much anywhere. And now that it's been updated with Blackwell graphics, that performance should be a bit better – though Nvidia's RTX 5000 series hasn't had quite the glow-up some folks were hoping for.

All of this makes it an excellent home theater PC that can also play PC games. And if you're comfortable tweaking game graphics settings, this mini gaming PC would make a perfect companion for a 4K TV. You can store your media library there and have instant access to your movies and TV shows, while also being able to boot up Steam and play your games when you want to. Just keep in mind that you can likely get similar performance from a gaming laptop most of the time.

For about as long as I've been playing PC games, Maingear has been around making some of the most gorgeous gaming PCs on the planet. The company has always had a great eye for detail and backs it up with one of the best warranties in the business. The downside? They're super expensive.

Even with that in mind, I was impressed by just how pretty the Maingear Rush Artist Series was when I reviewed it. Essentially, Maingear took the Lian Li O11 case and airbrushed art onto it, and you really need to see it in person to grasp just how gorgeous it is. Every inch of this gaming PC oozes with detail, and it's one of the few times where I can't look away from it, even though I'm pretty burned out on flashy RGB lighting at this point.

A good gaming PC is more than just how it looks on your desk, though, it needs to perform. Luckily, you can configure the Maingear Rush basically however you want to. Maingear's website will let you build anything from a entry-level model with an RTX 5050 and a Ryzen 5 processor to the configuration I reviewed, with its RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Just keep in mind that the more power you pump into this thing, the more expensive it's going to be – and it doesn't exactly start cheap.

You do get more than just the PC for your purchase, though. The computer comes with free tech support for life, which will follow the PC even if you sell it. Maingear's tech support will walk you through all kinds of troubleshooting and in the off chance something does need a repair, the company offers free labor on all repairs and upgrades; you just pay for shipping and new components if necessary. That's probably not enough to sell it to experienced PC builders who can definitely get a PC with similar specs for much less. But if you don't want to deal with servicing your rig, the extra money you pay for this Maingear system might just be worth it.

The Apple Pencil (USB-C) is an excellent stylus that works with all iPads, including our favorites like the iPad Pro and Mini. Its ultra-low latency, tilt sensitivity, and pinpoint precision makes it an invaluable illustration and design tool for creatives. Note-taking and marking up documents is also simple when using this stylus. Of course, it also conveniently charges via USB-C, hence the name, while the other Apple Pencil models magnetically attach and pair instantly with most iPads.

While the best deal is on the Apple Pencil (USB-C), some might need a slightly more capable stylus. The Apple Pencil Pro amps things up a bit, offering pressure sensitivity, a built-in gyroscope, squeeze gestures, wireless charging, and more. Walmart has dropped over $30 off the price tag for a limited time, making the stylus under $100.

Other Walmart Black Friday Deals

After you’ve added the Apple Pencil to your cart, Walmart has tons of other killer Black Friday sales to check out. You can even score 50% off a Walmart+ subscription for early access to deals, free delivery, and more.

Target has the first discount we’ve seen on LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & the Chocolate factory, an absolute nostalgic gem of a set. This is a set we built when it released earlier this year, and had a blast doing it. It’s a vibrantly colorful set based on the memorable room with a chocolate river and waterfall. It comes with a bunch of minifigures and a buildable Wonkatania ship to sail through the tunnel of doom. This is one of Target's best Black Friday deals so far.

There are a good number of Christmas-themed LEGO sets available now, but this Christmas tree is the best deal available. It’s actually a 2-in-1 build, because you can use the pieces to build one big Christmas tree, or to build two smaller Christmas trees. Either way, $25 for this set is a killer deal ahead of the holidays.

This deal on LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi matches the all-time low price it’s ever been discounted to. This set holds a special place in this gamer’s heart, because Super Mario World is my favorite video game of all time. I built this set and I keep it on my desk right next to the lamp at all times. Sometimes I even turn the crank to see Mario and Yoshi traipse along.

In a way, the whole Star Wars saga started right here, with the Tantive IV. This set has you build the ship Princes Leia is on at the beginning of the first movie, when Darth Vader boards the ship in search of the stolen Death Star plans. A 50% discount is absolutely a great deal on any LEGO set, especially one this big and impressive.

Another massive 50% discount on this one. It’s a collection of three insects that you build in life-size replicas: a blue morpho butterfly, Herculese beetle, and a Chinese mantis. All three are finely detailed and posable.

LEGO sets make great gifts, so stock up if you have adults on your list who enjoy the brick-building life. Or just pick up a set or two for yourself.

Samsung is one of the best brands around for external storage, and its PRO Plus line of microSDXC cards featuring blazing fast read and write speeds of up to 180MB/s and 130MB/s, which is excellent for recording 4K footage on drones and action cams like GoPro.

MicroSD cards are also a great choice for easily expanding the storage of many of your daily devices, including Android phones, tablets, and even work with handheld gaming PCs like the Steam Deck or Asus ROG Xbox Ally X. With 1TB of storage, you'll be able to store quite a few large games with room to spare.

While this microSD card does work with Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite, it does not work with the Nintendo Switch 2, as those require special microSD Express cards.

While there are plenty of great deals to be had during Amazon's Black Friday sale, other brick and mortar retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have all hopped on the early Black Friday bandwagon and each have some sweet deals worth checking out.

The Baseus power bank has a 20,800mAh or 77Whr battery capacity. Factoring in a roughly 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks), this power bank will charge a Steam Deck (40Whr) or Asus ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to completely full 1.5 times, an Xbox Ally X (80Whr) 0.8 times, a Legion Go S (55Whr) about 1.1 times, and a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 (20Whr) about 3 times. You can see why a smaller 10,000mAh power bank might be fine for the Switch but is insufficient for the more power hungry handheld gaming PCs.

The power bank is equipped with four ports: two USB Type-A ports that can deliver 33W each and two USB Type-C ports that can deliver 100W each. The power bank supports a total maximum output of 145W. So, for example, if you were using both USB-C ports, one port could deliver 100W and the other power would then be capped at 45W.

The 100W of maximum power output is more than enough for every handheld gaming PC released so far. The Steam Deck supports up to 45W of charging, the Asus ROG Ally up to 65W, the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2 up to 100W, and the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 between 20W and 30W. You should be able to charge all of these gaming handhelds at their fastest rate while you're playing games at the same time, even on Turbo settings.

This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $100. The processor is cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid cooling solution and the entire system is powered by a robust 1,000W 80+ Platinum rated power supply.

Alternatively, for an extra $485, you can upgrade to a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and double the memory. For an extra $685 you can the CPU upgrade and quadruple the memory.

The GeForce RTX 5080 GPU will run any game in 4K

Performance-wise, the RTX 5080 is no slouch. It's one of the fastest cards on the market, bested only by the $2,000 RTX 5090 and the discontinued $1,600 RTX 4090. This is a phenomenal card for playing the latest, most demanding games in 4K resolution at high settings and ray tracing enabled. The RTX 5080 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, which means you can push even more frames out of games that support the technology with minimal visual compromise. Recent games that support it include Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Borderlands 4, Stellar Blade, and Battlefield 6. Check out our Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 FE review for our hands-on impressions.

The Arc is still an outstanding soundbar even after the release of the Arc Ultra. The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone for smart assistant compatiblity, including voice control.

This deal is part of a greater Sonos Black Friday Sale that starts now. Check out more deals on soundbars, speakers, and headphones, including the lowest prices of the year on the Sub 4 and Sub Mini to complement your soundbar.

The bundle, which would usually set Illumineers back $34.99, is now down to $24.99 as part of the sales event. It’s an ideal way to kickstart a collection, offering two Starter Decks that are playable right out of the box, as well as four additional booster packs and a Mickey Mouse Pirate Captain promo card.

That’s an ideal combo because when you want to upgrade your decks with fresh cards, you already have packs to rip open. The decks included are fun ones, too, with the unlikely duo of Peter Pan and the Dalmatians helming one, and Moana and Scrooge McDuck in the other. Each deck contains a booster pack, too, so you’re really getting six in total.

It’s worth noting that Lorcana now rotates sets. This set isn’t currently standard legal - so competitive players should look elsewhere. Thankfully, though, it remains a fantastic deal for collectors or casual players looking to learn the ropes.

At the time of writing, the Into the Inklands bundle has gone past the ‘50% claimed’ mark, so you’ll want to move swiftly!

As for why you might want the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller, it features adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip so you can keep a firm hold on it, and shorter hair trigger locks for quick firing in your favorite games. It even offers up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life, so you can keep playing for ages before it needs to be powered up again. In our review, we thought it had some handy tweaks to the formula but that it was priced higher than it should be, due to some issues with sticky buttons at times. Despite that, we still think it's one of the best Xbox controllers around.
