You're effectively doubling your console's internal storage with the offer. You can pick it up for just $39 right now, which is the cheapest we've ever seen these speedy little microSD express cards since they came into fashion after the Switch 2 launch.

This is an official discount from Nintendo, which announced the deal not long before Black Friday. You can find it at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and other major retailers in the US.

If you're looking to go a little further with your extra storage, one of our other favorite deals on Switch 2 storage is still available as well. That's on the Samsung P9 512GB microSD express card, which is down to $74.99 at Amazon as well.

That's $25 off, and even better value than the 256GB card (it's a small $3 difference, yet significant enough to mention for prospective buyers).

For 1TB options, there's also the Lexar 1TB Play Pro for $185.99 (was $219.99). But, at sheer, value to GB, the 512GB Samsung P9 still comes out on top at $75 (or $150 or you bought two, beating that 1TB threshold with $36 saved as well).

Still, each of these options are a great deal and well worth picking up while still on sale for the next couple of days. Just pick whichever is best for your budget!

As you well know, Switch 2 has moved to microSD Express for storage expansion (thankfully there are plenty in the sale right now), and that means your old Switch memory cards aren't useable for game storage on the new console. They may look alike, but microSD Express cards are in a different league, hitting around 800MB/s while the usual microSD cards struggle to break 200MB/s.

And if you're waiting for prices to nosedive, good luck. Demand for memory has already pushed DDR5 RAM back up, and storage tends to follow the same pattern. Realistically, you’re staring at mid to late 2026 before things calm down. If you want to avoid paying more later, grab a Switch 2 compatible card now and save yourself the headache.

Any Switch 2 Deals for Cyber Monday?

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been flying off shelves since it launched earlier this year, and ahead of its first Holiday season, those holding out on buying one will no doubt have an eye on potential discounts.

On that note, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Switch 2 isn't seeing any drastic discounts in the Nintendo Black Friday sale, but on the positive side, retailers appear to be getting creative with bundles.

So, while the system hasn't budged from its $449.99 MSRP during Black Friday (I must not have had my fingers crossed hard enough!), there are perhaps more choices than ever heading into the holiday season.

Nintendo currently offers two bundles of its own, for example, with one including Mario Kart World and another offering Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Both of these are, at least in my opinion, rather good bundle deals, and I'd be very surprised if both aren't selling like hotcakes given the popularity of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the original Nintendo Switch, and the timeless popularity of Pokémon.

The Mario Kart bundle, at $499, includes the console and Mario Kart World, at a $30 discount compared to buying each individually. While the Pokémon bundle is a similar deal, just a $20 saving instead, as the base game isn't as pricey as Mario Kart.

Those are two great games to kickstart your Switch 2 collection, and these are the best possible Switch 2 Black Friday deals we're getting without leaning too much on third-party retailers.

If you're waiting on something else, I wouldn't bother risking these going out of stock between now and December, because it's likely to be a hot item for the Christmas period.

The QuietComfort Ultra is Bose's newest noise-cancelling headphone, released in late 2023. It is a significant upgrade over the standard QuietComfort headphones in audio and noise-cancelling performance and is easily comparable to other current heavyweights like the Sony WH-1000XM5/XM6 and the AirPods Max. The Ultra features redesigned ear cushions that are both more comfortable and provide a more secure seal, resulting in better passive noise isolation. It also supports spatial audio for better immersion, and it's updated with the new Bluetooth 5.3 protocol. Android users can rejoice in the fact that the Ultra supports Snapdragon Sound, a feature that offers optimized sound quality, connection stability, and latency for your streaming audio when the headphone is connected to an Android device.

Other features include an "Aware" mode that picks up ambient noises and amplifies them so that you can listen in on the outside world without having to take off your headphones, a respectable 24 hours of battery life on a single charge, an updated USB Type-C port, Bluetooth multipoint for simultaneous pairing with up to two devices, and a dual-hinge design that enables the headphones to fold up and flat for easier portability.

New for 2025, the OMEN MAX 16 is an upgrade to the OMEN 16 both in terms of build quality and cooling potential. Unlike the OMEN 16, the OMEN MAX 16 is almost entirely constructed of aluminum, including both the top lid and chassis. The exception is the palm rest, which is still plastic so that it doesn't get too toasty for your hands. The OMEN MAX 16 also features a new OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro design that combines vapor chamber cooling, redesigned fan configuration, and an improved thermal interface material to maximize heat transfer. Not only does this keep the OMEN MAX 16 cooler during gaming marathons, it also allows for the current-generation graphics cards to perform optimally without throttling.

This particular configuration features a 16" 1920x1200 display, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Both the memory and storage can be user-upgraded. I would recommend upgrading to the 16" 2560x1600 OLED display for an additional $190.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 255X is a top performing CPU

The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. In terms of gaming performance, upgrading to an Ultra 9 would be a waste of money. Games are typically GPU-bound, so getting the best GPU within your budget should be the highest priority. Most games also can't utilize more than 4-8 cores, so the extra cores on the Core Ultra 9 are unnecessary. The Ultra 9 275HX does have a slightly higher clock speed (5.4GHz vs 5.2GHz) but that's just a 4% difference in performance, completely unnoticeable in actual gameplay.

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU can handle the most demanding games

The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU is comparable in performance to the previous generation's RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4. It should be able to handle even the newest and most demanding games like Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, and Borderlands 4 on the native 1920x1200 resolution. It can also run the same games at 2560x1600 if you opt for the OLED upgrade, although you may have to minimally tweak some graphics settings to maintain 60fps.

LG's OLED TVs have been our favorite TVs for console gaming for three years running thanks to their outstanding image quality, low input lag, and high refresh rate. The 2025 C5 uses LG's proprietary Evo panel, which is significantly brighter and offers a wider color gamut than traditional W-OLED TVs. Aside from higher production costs, there's no downside to this technology; the C5 boasts the near-infinite black levels, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times you'd expect from any OLED TV This is easily the best TV for streaming 4K HDR content in its intended glory.

The LG C5 has the necessary gaming features as well, including a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz, HDMI 2.1 inputs for running PS5 games in 4K at up to 120fps, variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM). The C5 is also lightweight for its size because the rear cabinet housing is made of a composite fiber; for example, this 65" model weighs only 36 pounds without the stand, making it much easier to wall mount.

The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is one of few 57" dual 4K UHD monitors on the market, boasting an eye-watering 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. Despite the display being so large, it has an above-average 140ppi pixel density, which is amazing considering the fact that in general the bigger the display, the lower the ppi. To put that into perspective, it's as sharp as a 32" 4K monitor. Wow.

The Odyssey Neo G9 is equipped with a Mini LED backlight paired with a quantum dot (QLED) panel. Like its namesake suggests, mini-LED panels have smaller LEDs than traditional LED LCD monitors, so you can squeeze in more lighting zones. Mini-LED monitors are also much brighter than OLED monitors, which is very important because larger monitors are generally dimmer than smaller ones to start. Local dimming combined with higher brightness improves contrast ratio and HDR and is also useful in overpowering glare and reflections.

Best Buy has the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16s for $1449.99 after a $450 off discount. This laptop features an aluminum top lid and plastic composite chassis and weighs about 5.1 pounds.

Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware's new mainstream gaming laptop for 2025 is dubbed the "Alienware Aurora" and it replaces the previous generation's x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you're looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn't throttled for maximum gaming performance.

Alienware Area-51 Gaming Laptop Deals

Alienware 18 Area-51 (18")

Alienware 16 Area-51 (16")

The Area-51 is Alienware's new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.

Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there's plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.

If you're looking to buy the new AirPods Pro 3 instead, those are also on sale for Black Friday. Amazon and other retailers have dropped prices to new lows and it's only been a couple of months since Apple first released these.

Both of these have been within our top ordered items from IGN's audience so far for Black Friday.

As someone who already owns a Nintendo Switch 2, some of the top things on my Christmas list are games and accessories for it. The Switch 2 Pro controller unfortunately isn't discounted yet either, but there are a ton of deals on Switch games and MicroSD express cards worth checking out.

Discounts on PlayStation Games and Accessories Are Great This Year

Some of the best video game deals we've seen so far for Black Friday have been on PlayStation stuff. The PlayStation Black Friday sale has some of the lowest prices we've ever seen on accessories like DualSense controllers and the PlayStation Portal. There are also price drops on the consoles themselves, but they haven't been as popular.

If you're looking for something cheaper, I'd suggest checking out the deals on physical PS5 games. There are a bunch of really popular games getting discounts this year, including new releases like Battlefield 6. There's also Elden Ring for only $15, which is a crazy good deal.

4K and Blu-ray Movie Deals Are Great for Collectors

There are some pretty good Black Friday deals on streaming services this year, but if you're looking for a gift for someone that already has a movie collection started then 4K is the way to go. We've been tracking some incredible 4K movie deals this year and the prices are so worth it.

If you're looking for something more substantial than movies, there are also some great deals on full collections of TV shows available. This includes favorites like Friends, Star Trek, and even Courage the Cowardly Dog.

The Best LEGO Deals of the Year Are Live Now

LEGO has been on fire this year with some of the coolest new sets I've ever seen. It was enough to even convert me into an adult fan of LEGO and I've already started a collection for myself. For 2025 we're seeing some incredible Black Friday LEGO deals with prices dropping to new lows all week. Here's some of the price drops I'd recommend checking out while stock remains.

LEGO also went all out this year with its Black Friday LEGO set. The new LEGO Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise set became available on actual Black Friday and has already completely sold out. The LEGO store has some backorder stock coming in and out, so it's worth a look for any of my fellow Star Trek fans out there.

When Do the Sales Actually End?

Black Friday deals have been going on for more than a week already, but a lot of the best discounts will have an abrupt end. You can expend most major sales to end when Cyber Monday ends, which for this year is December 1. Retailers like Amazon tend to keep sale prices live until 12 a.m. PT, so you'll still have all of Monday before prices go back up. Though some things will likely go out of stock by then.

There are usually follow-up "last-minute" sales that will arrive before Christmas still, but those discounts are never as good as they are during the peak Black Friday shopping window.

The Legion Tower 7 is Lenovo's top-end desktop computer, boasting a well-ventilated chassis with a mesh front panel housing six total 120mm fans (including three fans for the 360mm liquid cooling system) and an 850W 80Plus Gold power supply.

This particular configuration features an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, GeForce RTX 5080 16GB graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz of RAM, and a 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor has a max turbo frequency of 5.7GHz with 24 cores and a 40MB L2 cache. According to Passmark, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K is a better gaming chip than the previous generation's Intel Core i9-14900K.

The RTX 5080 is the second best Blackwell graphics card, surpassed only by the $2,000 RTX 5090. It's about 5%-10% faster than the previous generation RTX 4080 Super, which is discontinued and no longer available. In games that support DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation exclusive to Blackwell cards, the gap widens. This is an outstanding card for playing even the latest games at 4K resolution with high settings and ray tracing enabled.

Check out our RTX 5080 GPU review.

Why Choose Lenovo?

Lenovo Legion gaming PCs and laptops generally feature better build quality than what you'd find from other prebuilt PCs. For desktop PCs in particular, people like the fact that Lenovo does not use proprietary components in its computer systems, so they're easier to upgrade with off-the-shelf parts. Although we haven't yet reviewed the new 2025 models, we have reviewed last year's Legion 7 desktop and really liked its build quality and performance.
