The Popular Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker Drops to as Low as $134 for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 07:15

The best Black Friday deal on the Sonos Era 100 speaker isn't actually at the Sonos store, or even at a big box retailer like Amazon, for that matter. Instead, you'll have to head over to Sonos' official eBay Store. There, you can pick up a certified refurbished Sonos Era 100 for just $134 with free shipping. Sonos refurbished products are like new, include pristine packaging and all original accessories, and come with the same one year warranty as a brand new product. This is Sonos' official seller account so the reconditioning, packaging, and shipping is all done in-house by Sonos.

Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker for $134

Certified refurbished with 1 year Sonos warranty

The Sonos Era 100 is a direct improvement over the now discontinued Sonos One. This is a small standalone powered speaker that pumps out great sound for its small footprint. Unlike the Sonos Move or Roam, this is not a portable speaker with a built-in battery, so you'll need to leave it plugged in. Sound quality is equivalent to a Sonos Move, which isn't surprising considering they have similar internal components: two tweeters, a mid-woofer, and three class-D digital amps. The Era 100 also supports Dolby Atmos when it is paired with an Arc or Beam soundbar. It has a built-in microphone and can be voice controlled; it can also be used as a smart speaker for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

You can also get a discounted price on a new unit for Black Friday

These deals are part of a greater Sonos Black Friday Sale. 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 HP OMEN MAX 16 Ryzen Edition RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop Drops to $1,699.99 for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 06:30

HP just unloaded a last minute Black Friday deal on one of its most powerful gaming laptops. The OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptop has been lowered to just $1,699.99 after a $1,300 off instant discount and an additional $100 off coupon code "GOBBLE100". This is indisputably the least expensive RTX 5080 equipped laptop for Black Friday. The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090.

HP states on the page that this "Flash deal" ends tonight at midnight PT.

OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop for $1,699.99

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" 2560x1600 display, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Both the memory and storage can be user-upgraded. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen5 CPU with a 5.1GHz max boost clock. It's a great chip for gaming, although gamers can largely ignore the dedicated NPUs that are used to boost AI productivity (hence the Ryzen "AI" name).

The GeForce RTX 5080 mobile GPU is better than the RTX 4090 mobile

The OMEN MAX 16 can accommodate an RTX 5080 mobile GPU without throttling it. The RTX 5080 is roughly 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4080 GPU that it replaces. In fact, it's slightly more powerful than the RTX 4090, which was the previous generation's flagship card. It will run even the newest demanding games like Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, and Borderlands 4 at frame rates of 60fps or higher on the 1600p display. You could even enable ray tracing and still get playable frames, something that was unheard of in laptops just a few years ago.

This Black Friday Nintendo Switch 2 Case Deal Will Have You Carrying Around Your Console With Style

29 novembre 2025 à 06:00

The Tomtoc Slim is one of the best compact Nintendo Switch 2 cases you can get and, of course, it has dropped to the lowest price ever for Black Friday. Amazon is offering it in your choice of black, white, or gray for just $25.89 after a 30% off instant discount. This is a much better deal than the official Nintendo Switch 2 case which currently sells for $39.99, and Nintendo hasn't even discounted it on the most prestigious of deal days.

Black Friday Deal: 30% Off Tomtoc Slim Switch 2 Carrying Case

Tomtoc has a history of making great cases for mobile electronics, including most current gaming handhelds like the original Switch and Switch Lite, Steam Deck, and Asus ROG Ally. Its signature trademark is the raised indent patterning for each handheld's unique analog joystick and button layout. This is mostly an aesthetic touch, but it helps set Tomtoc cases apart from the boring monochrome design you'll see for nearly every other case out there including the official case.

Material-wise, the Tomtoc is a hardshell case with a felt inner lining. It has an interior flap that can fit up to 12 game cards, a buckle strap, and durable YKK zipper that's smoother and easier to use than the Genki Sleeper case. Since this is a slim case designed for as minimal of a footprint as possible, there's no room to fit a charger.

Need something bigger?

If you're looking for something roomier, Tomtoc also has a sling-style case that's specifically made for portable gaming handhelds including the Switch 2. The padded compartment is shaped like a "W" to make room for a wide range of handhelds that have dual analog joysticks. It's not specifically designed for the Switch 2, so don't expect a molded fit, but there's plenty of room here to fit extra controllers, a charger or power bank, and more.

This Black Friday Nintendo Switch 2 Screen Protector Deal Is Cheap Insurance for Your $450 Console

29 novembre 2025 à 05:40

Did you treat yourself to a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 console this holiday season? If so, you certainly don't want to scratch it up as soon as you start playing on it. Why not get some cheap insurance with a screen protector to protect the fragile display. For the remaining hours of Black Friday, Amazon is offering a two-pack of amFilm Nintendo Switch 2 Tempered Glass Screen Protectors for just $5.24 after you apply coupon code "FEPXXLZY".

Nintendo Switch 2 Screen Protector Black Friday Deal

You probably paid at least $450 (plus tax) for your Nintendo Switch 2, so a $5 screen protector is only about 1% of that cost, and there's two of them in a pack. For me, a screen protector is an absolute necessity. My young kids have their own Nintendo Switch consoles and I need to change out screen protectors every 3 months or so. Thanks to the protection, the screens themselves are still in perfect condition.

These screen protectors are perfectly sized to fit your Switch 2 console. They're made of 0.3mm thin tempered glass with 99.9% transparency. They're scratch resistant with a 9H rating with an oleophobic coating and a matte finish to reduce fingerprints. They also don't interfere with touchscreen sensitivity. What more can you ask for?

There's still time to get in on some last minute Nintendo Switch 2 Black Friday deals.

Amazon's Book Nook Deals Are an Awesome Gift Idea for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 04:35

Amazon has some of the best DIY book nooks on sale during its massive Black Friday sale. There are seemingly endless themes to slot onto your bookshelf, each perfect for fans of specific genres and aesthetics. Brands like Funpola and Cutebee have their buildable nooks on sale for between 15% and up to 40% off, so if you've been looking for a way to add some style to your bookshelves, now's the time to do so on the cheap. You can also check out the Black Friday book deals going on at Amazon while you're at it.

Book Nooks On Sale For Black Friday

Book nooks function similarly to book ends, in that they can slot in between books on your shelf to fill gaps and keep your books upright. But unlike bookends, most book nooks are buildable model kits that are a blast to put together if you like working with your hands. The book nooks on offer at Amazon for Black Friday come in all kinds of sizes and themes, so if your collection is mostly sci-fi, the Funpola Endless Dimensions book nook would look pretty awesome slotted in with your favorite series, and so on.

There are also currently four LEGO book nooks featuring iconic scenes from The Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, and Wicked, but unfortunately they are not on sale for Black Friday like other LEGO sets. If you're still curious about them, we built the LEGO Lord of the Rings book nook set, and it was an awesome build that includes a to-scale buildable Balrog figure.

I Made a List of the Best D&D Deals You Can Get For Holiday Gifting on Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 03:15

Do you have someone who loves diving through dungeons, exploring magical worlds, doing random voices, or just wants something you can do with your family and friends this holiday? Luckily for you, there are some great Black Friday deals going on right now on Dungeons & Dragons goodies, and get ready for that special holiday one-shot with your friends or just to give your family something to play and do instead of talking about politics and all those other awkward conversation topics.

TL;DR - Top DnD Deals Right Now

  1. DnD Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands
  2. Dungeons & Dragons Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game
  3. DND Spinner Dice DNDND 7-in-1 Fidget Spinner Metal D&D Dice Set
  4. DnD Handbook Bundle
  5. Dungeons & Dragons Icewind Dale: Rime of The Frostmaiden (D&D Adventure Book)
  6. Dungeons & Dragons Eberron Bundle
  7. Curse of Strahd Campaign Book
  8. DnD Tomb of Annihilation
  9. 7 Sets (49PCS) Polyhedral Dice sets
  10. Limited 50th Anniversary Edition Strongheart Figure

'Tis the season for great deals and bundles, and Dungeons & Dragons has some great ones. For brand new DnD players, or a group that has been showing interest in trying out the game, there is no better gift than the brand new Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set that was released earlier this year. With a bunch of dice, an easy-to-understand card-based gear system, and three distinct types of adventures (one focusing on combat, exploration, and roleplaying) this is a wonderful jumping-in point and is on sale now!

Shop Top DnD Deals

For folks that simply want to upgrade to the new 2024 version of 5th Edition, Wizards of the Coast is offering a bundle that includes the brand new versions of the Monster Manual, Player’s Handbook, and Dungeon Master's Guide. With enhanced monster stat blocks, reworked classes, and new tools for the DM, these books are great to add to your shelf, and all three still work with all existing 5th Edition books as well.

For experienced players and DMs, there are sales on some truly classic adventure modules, including the Tomb of Annihilation and the Curse of Strahd, both of which every D&D group should experience at least once in their lifetime, as both are such quintessential stories for the game. If a more modern and topical quest is more your and your friends’ style, then the Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game is also on sale. This special box, featuring the heroes that the characters from the Stranger Things series play as, will let you finish the campaign that Eddie never got to back in the last season.

Of course, to play those games, you will need some dice too, and thankfully, some dice are also on sale. Grab yourself multiple sets of dice so you and your friends can all start new characters with fresh, untainted new dice, or grab that special player in your life a sweet metal spinning dice. This nifty contraption is all your dice in a single, pocket watch-like package that spins and gives results.

What makes a good D&D Gift?

When it comes to my general philosophy and approach to getting a TTRPG gift for a friend, there are three things I consider. First, is the person a Game/Dungeon Master (the person who does the actual running of the game, aka GM or DM) or are they a player (someone who takes part in the story)? Lastly, I try to figure out how they play, asking myself “do they play online with folks,” or “do they get together in person with a regular group to play”?

For the Dungeon Masters

For the GMs, I would look toward campaign or adventure books, like the Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation books. These are self-contained stories that provide the person running the game with all they need to run a great multi-session story for their players.

If you know they run a bunch of games in person, then surprise them with a really nice GM Screen (a divider that separates the players from the GM and their notes), such as the Wymwood DM Screen.

Another solid option for your GM friends is a nice dry-erase grid rollable map and markers. These are powerful tools to allow them to quickly draw out the dungeon of the week or dense forest that they are sending their players into that night during the game.

Or if they already have all of that, then giving them some sweet new miniatures to send at the heroes is a great last option, and WizKids has an incredible line of D&D-specific colored miniatures you can get, and currently has a holiday bundle available too!

Gifts for Heroes

If you are looking for gifts for the heroes themselves, I have some general suggestions for you, too. For the newer releases like the Heroes of Faerun, Wizards of the Coast is making it easier to tell which books are more geared towards DMs and which ones are for players, and in the player’s cases, you will want to seek out ones with either the “Player's Expansion" label or “Rules Expansion” found on books like the upcoming Eberron: Forge of the Artificer book releasing in December. These books add new classes, spells, feats, and more for players to try out and make characters with.

If you are looking for a more personal touch though, a fun gift idea for that special D&D player in your life may be a gift card to heroforge.com, a site that allows you to build a custom small character miniature and either buy a physical version of it (including a fancy metal version) or the 3D file so they can print it themselves on their own 3D printer at home.

Roll the Dice

Finally, if none of those ideas are speaking to you, then you can always get the person dice. Us folks who play TTRPGs will never have enough dice (don’t listen to us if we say we don’t). It seems like nowadays, with the hobby's explosion in popularity, you can find whatever sort of dice you want, be it any color, aesthetic, theme, shape, or whatever you could imagine. Want a set of dice with little ice cream cones in them? You can buy them. What about dice cut from Amethyst – yes, the gemstone kind of Amethyst. Those are out there too!

Handcrafted Dice Brands

A whole industry has rolled out from the shadows based completely around luxury and handcrafted dice such as Dispel Dice, Baron of Dice, Artisan Dice, and Die Hard Dice just to name a few, with most of them hosting their own holiday deals right now. Pretty math rocks will always be a great gift for players and game masters alike.

See more Dice we rounded up in our DnD Holiday Gift Guide below:

Hopefully, with these recommendations, you’ll find your inspiration and the perfect gift for that role player in your life. If all else fails, you can always just offer to play in a one-shot with them or run a one-shot for them, too!

TCGPlayer's Cyber Sale Has 10% Cashback on All Pokémon Cards This Weekend

29 novembre 2025 à 03:00

TCGPlayer is joining in on the Black Friday and Cyber Monday fun with their Cyber Weekend event.

Starting on November 28 at 9 am ET, trainers will get 10% back in store credit on their TCGPlayer account from whatever they buy.

This promotion will be running until December 1, 11 pm ET. So if you've been waiting for your favorite chase cards to go down in value to snap them up, this is it.

TCGPlayer does these promotions once or twice a year for a big holiday like Black Friday and Halloween, but this 10% credit offer comes while Pokémon TCG is finding a new floor.

That much is clear just by looking at the most recent Pokémon TCG set, Phantasmal Flames. But more on that later, long story short, this is a great time to pick up chase cards.

But which chase cards should you buy on TCGPlayer's Cyber Weekend? Well, I've handpicked some of the best cards from Mega Evolution, Scarlet and Violet, and the Sword and Shield eras of Pokémon TCG for you to catch.

The Best Modern Chase Cards to Look Out For

Scarlet and Violet has been one of the best era's in recent memory for chase cards with multiple banger sets, and yes I know Evolving Skies from Sword and Shield was insane, more on that later. 151, Black Bolt/White Flare, Destined Rivals, Prismatic Evolutions and Twilight Masquerade collectively hold the most expensive chase cards of this era.

That's great and all, but it means more money spent on catching the best cards going. Then the latest era, Mega Evolution is off to a flying start with its base set and Phantasmal Flames expansion bringing back Pokémons most popular gimmick from the main games. There's a lot to focus on, just the carousel above will proove that much, but just focus on what stands out to you and what fits into your budget.

So the top 5 cards here value wise are Umbreon ex SIR, Mega Charizard X ex SIR, Mega Charizard X ex Gold Hyper Rare, Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR and Mega Lucario ex Gold Hyper Rare. Even though Mega Evolution sets have dropped in value significantly since launch, they're still putting out some of the most valuable cards in modern Pokémon TCG.

Umbreon is never going to be knocked off the top spot, not even Charizard can do that, but it's going to be the best time to snap it up on TCGPlayer. Let's do some quick math; 10% of $1,294.99 is $129.49, which is going to be the minimum cashabck you'll recieve after purchasing Sunbreon. That means you could put that credit towards Roaring Moon ex SIR from the same set and grab it for $42.14 instead of $171.63. Oh, then you'd also get another 10% cashback from that purchase which is $17.16. It's the best kind of snowball i've ever seen.

But even with the cashback, Sunbreon will still cost a fortune regardless of how good the deal is, so let's pick out something that you're other half won't kill you (as much) for. Greninja SIR ex from Twilight Masquerade absolutley pops and is easily one of the best artworks in the Scarlet and Violet era. Whilst you might think $325 is steep, this card was touching $380 just a week or two ago. So getting $32.50 back as 10% cashback to effectively get this card for $292.50. Now that's a great investment, which is also the near-mint price.

The Best Scarlet and Violet Promo Cards To Catch

The Scarlet and Violet era has also been a very strong era for promo cards. This means anything from a STAFF stamped card to a Pokémon Center stamped card found inside Pokémon Center-exclusive Elite Trainer Boxes.

One of my favorites from the Scarlet and Violet era is the Paldea Evolved Pokémon Center exclusive Elite Trainer Box (Takes a deep breath). It features Pikachu alongside the Paldea starter Pokémon in a "Let's go suit shopping" pose that has the power to cause genuine cardiac arrest. A stunning card.

Now considering the exclusive Elite Trainer Box is currently going for $500 sealed right now, the $119 price tag for the card is actually quite cheap. And when you consider the $11.90 cashback you'd get off buying the card, that's not a bad deal at all.

Keeping in with the Pikachu theme, one of my favorite promos from Scarlet and Violet that I actually own is Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat. This costs even more than the ETB at $547.99 right now, which is a big drop from around $647 just days ago. I've written about the full story behind this infamous card previously, but this is a fantastic time to get this card thanks to the extra $54.79 you'll get in cashback this weekend.

The Best Sword and Shield Chase Cards You Can't Miss

Yes, we're about to talk about Evolving Skies, well done for waiting until the end of the article. I remember walking into stores on release and not being able to move for Evolving Skies boosters, premium collections and Elite Trainer Boxes, often below MSRP. It's frankly insane how much this set it worth compared to how available it used to be.

It's the home of the most valuable Sword and Shield era chase cards for the most part, including Moonbreon, Rayquazza VMAX Alt Art, Umbreon V Alt Art, Dragonite V Alt Art, most of the Eeveelution VMAX Alt Arts and the stunning Rayquaza V Alt full art.

Apologies for just going mad listing cards, but this is why it's costing north of $2,000 just for a Booster Box. Of course you'd also get $200 in cashback which is awesome, but just wow. If you're looking to get some big chase cards for a steal in TCGPlayer's Cyber Weekend, start with Evolving Skies.

Sword and Shield isn't just about one set though, Fusion Strike, Lost Origins and Silver Tempest also have some god tier level grails. The Secret Alt Art of Gengar VMax for example is currently $730, which is over double the worth of the next Fusion Strike chase card down the line, Espeon VMAX Secret Alt Art, running at $329.58 right now.

If you're looking for an amazing chase card that isn't going to require a remortgage, Lugia V Alt Full Art from Silver Tempest is a banger. Other than me being really proud of myself getting it for under $150 earlier this year, the mood in this card thanks to Lugia jumping out of the ocean in the middle of a storm over a fisherman is stunning. Hands down the best Lugia Pokémon Card ever printed.

TCGPlayer Subscription

If you're planning on snapping up quite a few Pokémon cards in the sale, this is a great time to become a TCGPLayer subscriber. It costs $8.99 a month and gives users free delivers and 1% cashback regardless of the time of year.

Whilst this climbs to 3% after a years membership, subscriber will get a boosted 13% cashback over cyber weekend on top of their usual cashback. For longtime members, this could equate to 16% cashback, which is frankly insane.

I've Found the Best Black Friday Headphone Deals, Including Apple AirPods, Sony, Bose, and Beats

29 novembre 2025 à 02:10

When it comes to headphones and earbuds, none escapes the Black Friday axe. Even the most resistant of brands and products - like a just-released Apple AirPods Pro - goes on sale during Black Friday. In fact, there are so many deals on headphones and earbuds that it can be difficult to figure out what deals offer the best value or what headphone is right for you. Fortunately, we're here to help. We've sorted out the absolute best deals on only the models that we would recommend ourselves. Read on.

Black Friday Headphone and Earbud Deals

Not sure which headphone to get? We've added a bit of detail below for our favorite deals.

AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds for $219.99 (was $250)

The recently released AirPods Pro 3 is discounted for the first time ever since its launch. It normally retails for $249, but the Black Friday sale drops it to $219 on Amazon. The AirPods Pro 3 is a rather significant improvement over the 2nd gen AirPods Pro, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, built-in heart rate sensing, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Headphones for $318.40 (was $450)

Black Friday sees the lowest price ever for Sony's newest flagship wireless noise cancelling headphone. Buydig (via eBay) is offering the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones for just $318.40 after you apply 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". That's a 30% discount off the $450 list price and blows away any other WH-1000XM6 deal I've seen so far. BuyDig is a reputable authorized Sony reseller with over 600,000 feedback on eBay.

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Headphones for $179.95 (was $450)

Amazon has dropped the price of the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones to just $179.95. That's a whopping 60% off retail and beats out the previous historical low price by $30. This is a noise cancelling wireless headphone on par in terms of performance and build quality with other premium headphones like the Sony WH-1000XM6 or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra. However at this price, it's at least $100 cheaper than the competition.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones for $199 (was $350)

Bonus $30 Digital Amazon Credit

The Bose QuietComfort wireless noise cancelling headphones are down to just $199 for Black Friday and now include a bonus $30 Amazon digital credit. The Bose QuietComfort is just a rename of the QuietComfort 45 with more color options. That's a good thing, because the QC45 was highly praised for its excellent sound and noise canceling performance and all-day comfort.

Beats Studio Pro Headphones for $149.99 (was $350)

Amazon is offering the lowest price I've ever seen on Beats' top-of-the-line headphone. Don't miss this opportunity to score a brand new pair of Beats Studio Pro wireless noise canceling headphones for just $149.99 with free shipping. Beats is owned by Apple, and the Studio Pro is marketed towards people like myself who want a quality over-ear wireless noise canceling headphone but also don't want to spend $400 plus on the AirPods Max. The Studio Pro offers better audio quality than any other Beats headphone, and excellent active noise cancelation.

Baseus BP1 Pro Earbuds for $18.99 (was $40)

The brand new Apple AirPods Pro 3 might be one of the best noise canceling earbuds, but $220 is a steep price to pay even if it's on sale for Black Friday. If you're better off spending your money elsewhere, then why not consider a pair Baseus Bass BP1 Pro earbuds. The're down to $18.99 after code and, currently, you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of this deal. I own these earbuds myself and I have to say they are definitely worth the price.

JLab JBuds Lux Headphones for $27 (was $80)

Walmart is offering a great discount on one of the best budget headphones you can find. The JLab JBuds Lux Over-Ear Headphones drops to just $27 after a massive 67% off discount, but it offers a wealth of features that you'd typically find in a headphone that costs over $100. Most importantly, sound quality is well above the standard for its price. SoundGuys recently reviewed the JLab JBuds Lux and gave these headphones a glowing review, mentioning that they were one of the best headphones under $100 that they had tested. SoundGuys considered them an excellent at their retail price of $79.

Apple AirPods Max Headphones for $399.99 (was $550)

Even people who have money to burn love to get in on a deal. The Apple AirPods Max is the priciest headphone in this roundup at $399.99, but you're still saving $150 off retail, which in my opinion is a pretty solid deal. Much of the high cost of the AirPods Max stems from the materials and build quality. The AirPods Max features an all-metal build with silicone type material wrapped around the headband and knit mesh and memory foam earcups that are both comfortable on your ears and provide excellent passive noise isolation. The hinge and adjustment mechanisms are smooth and very easy to use. Apple went all in on the craftsmanship and it definitely shows.

All the Top Gaming Keyboard Deals for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 01:10

Black Friday savings are here, with deep discounts on top gaming gear, including gaming keyboards. If you’ve been in the market for a gaming keyboard or someone on your list requested one for the holidays, there are plenty of deals to go around. Some of our favorite gaming keyboards are even on sale, with up to 50% off exceptional models that competitive gamers may even want to grab.

TL;DR: Black Friday Gaming Keyboard Deals

SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3

Reviewer Michael Higham was a massive fan during the hands-on testing of SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3, stating, “I’m hard-pressed to find an aspect of the Gen 3 SteelSeries Apex Pro I would change.” From the OmniPoint 3.0 Hall Effect switches and flashy RGB lighting to the handy multi-functional OLED control panel for on-the-fly adjustments and more, this high-end keyboard has a whole lot to offer. It delivers exceptional typing and gaming experiences in competitive shooters and MMORPGs. The possibilities with the wired version of this TKL keyboard are seemingly endless, and for Black Friday, it’s discounted by $50.

Corsair K70 RGB PRO

If you’re after a full-size keyboard discounted for Black Friday, look no further than the Corsair K70 RGB PRO. This wired option is nearly 50% off. It offers ultra-quick Cherry MX Speed switches, an outstanding build quality with an aluminium plate and PBT double-shot keycaps, custom polling rates, per-key RGB lighting, and more. There’s a lot available here for under $100.

Pulsar XBOARD QS

One of our favorite gaming keyboards, the Pulsar XBOARD QS, is currently 50% off for Amazon Prime Members. Now, it’s a high-end keyboard that normally comes with an eye-watering price tag of $300, so getting $150 knocked off the price makes it a great deal. With it comes Kailh Box Ice Mint 2 linear switches that competitive gamers will love. But there are ample customization opportunities if you're not a fan of those particular switches. Michael Higham reviewed the Pulsar XBOARD QS, finding that the “dual connectivity and hotswapping between systems is a really neat feature,” and rating the keyboard an 8/10.

Razer Huntsman Mini

Need a compact keyboard capable of a whole lot? Look no further than the Razer Huntsman Mini. The 60% layout on this keyboard makes it ideal for travel without sacrificing features. On board are Razer’s responsive and reliable optical-mechanical switches with HyperShift for macros. Of course, the keyboard is also made to go anywhere, thanks to its durable construction, PBT keycaps, and removable USB-C. For Black Friday, it's $60, which is the lowest price it has ever been.

LEMOKEY X1

Now, even with these awesome discounts, some gaming keyboards are prohibitively expensive. If you’re after something basic that works great for gaming and everyday use, check out the LEMOKEY X1. Amazon Prime Members can get this keyboard for just over $20 for Black Friday. Its tenkeyless layout features tactile mechanical switches, surprisingly durable ABS double-shot keycaps, and fully remappable keys. For a little more of a gamer vibe, there’s even a nice red glow with 14 different lighting effects.

NuPhy Air60 HE

NuPhy Black Friday deals are live, offering discounts of up to 70%. One keyboard I’m particularly excited to see on sale is the NuPhy Air60 HE. Based on aesthetics alone, I would love to have this keyboard. But it’s also packing the performance chops with stunning low-profile magnetic switches that are up there with the “best of Hall Effect keyboards,” according to IGN expert Chris Coke, who reviewed the NuPhy Air60 HE. That’s coupled with an 8K Hz polling rate and actuation point adjustability, for a stunning and high-performing gaming keyboard.

The AndaSeat Black Friday Sale Drops Prices on XL Gaming Chairs for a Limited Time

29 novembre 2025 à 01:01

While there are plenty of great Black Friday gaming chair deals to be had, AndaSeat is having an especially nice sale on all of its gaming chairs. Depending on the model, you can save up to $150. And if it’s your first time buying an AndaSeat gaming chair, you can save an additional $20 on a seat when you sign up to receive emails.

AndaSeat offers top-tier gaming chairs that cater to a range of needs, from great value options to ultra-adjustable, high-end models. Beyond choosing colors, materials, and additional features, this brand especially excels in big and tall gaming chairs, as most of AndaSeat’s products come in L or XL sizes. Let's break down all the models on sale for Black Friday:

AndaSeat Kaiser 3 and Kaiser 3e

The AndaSeat Kaiser 3 is an excellent value for a higher-end racing-style gaming chair. It offers most of the features found on the newer Kaiser 4 while costing $50 less. Although you lose out on the wildly adjustable armrests and an improved lumbar system, in our 8/10 review of the Kaiser 3, it scored much higher than the updated model. Right now, you can snag it for $50 off, setting you back $429.

The Kaiser 3 still offers 4D armrests and adjustable lumbar support for flexibility. The wide, foamy seat base, combined with a decent recline and height adjustments, makes for a cushy, comfortable spot to plop down. You also get a swappable magnetic head pillow and armrests to round out the chair.

For a pared-down model, look to the Kaiser 3e, which on sale for an extra $70 below the original model. The lumbar support on the Kaiser 3e is not adjustable, and you can’t magnetically swap out the 4D armrest. Still, it’s a great budget gaming chair option, bringing excellent ergonomics to the (gaming) table.

AndaSeat Kaiser 4 and NGR Kaiser 4

The most premium model in the Kaiser racing chair lineup is the Kaiser 4. From 6D adjustable armrests and pop-out adjustable lumbar support to a firm cold-cure foam seat and comfy magnetic head pillow, there’s a lot to be excited about on the Kaiser 4. However, our hands-on testing of the Kaiser 4 proved otherwise. Reviewer Billy Givens found the armrests “janky” and certain features to be downgraded from the Kaiser 3. Still, if you care about lumbar support, that special system might do it for you. With a flash sale happening right now, you can get it for $469.

A special edition of the Kaiser 4, the NRG Kaiser 4, is seeing the biggest discount of the whole sale. It’s gotten $150 knocked off the price tag. The deal specifically applies to the XL model of the gaming chair, so in addition to the features of the Kaiser 4, you also get a wider seat and a higher weight limit. The gaming chair is also wrapped in the NRG colors and features the logo.

AndaSeat Novis

This most budget-friendly of AndaSeat’s lineup is the Novis, and it’s $30 off for Black Friday. While you don’t get fancy adjustable lumbar support or 6D armrests, it nails all the basics. The cold-cure foam seat is just firm enough, and the 5cm raised lumbar provides good back support. Adding to the ergonomics are a height-adjustable seat and armrests, and you can recline up to 155° for maximum relaxation.

AndaSeat X-Air and X-Air Pro

All of the other AndaSeats mentioned above have a fabric or PVC leather covering padded seats, but those chairs can get hot and sticky quickly. Mesh is the best solution for those who run warm, and AndaSeat offers the X-Air and X-Air Pro with fully mesh seats for extra breathability. Both of these gaming chairs are $50 off for Black Friday.

The X-Air is a slightly better deal, offering 13% savings with features that are somewhat downgraded from the Pro model. Still, it comes with 4D armrests, a 3D headrest, a free-floating tilt mechanism, and a dynamic lumbar. The X-Air Pro offers an adjustable seat depth and slightly more flexible armrests, but otherwise, it’s nearly identical to the X-Air.

Other Gaming Chair Deals

It’s not just AndaSeat getting in on the Black Friday fun; plenty of other gaming chairs are discounted. Secretlab, the brand behind our top gaming chair, the Titan Evo, has temporarily reduced the price of its top-rated seats. You can also find gaming chairs from Corsair and Razer on sale right now for a limited time.

The Best Black Friday Gaming Headset Deals

I Found Every Black Friday Board Game Deal Worth Buying in 2025

29 novembre 2025 à 00:41

Board game nights thrive on novelty. So if your board game collection could use some updating, Black Friday is the time to do it. That’s when you can save up to 50% off board games of all kinds. Plenty of games are discounted right now, from family-friendly board games to more serious strategy board games. Read on to see what games we recommend picking up for cheap before Black Friday ends.

The Best Black Friday Board Game Today

You want to see all the best Black Friday board game deals in one place? That’s easy, my friend, just scroll through the catalog above and you’ll get them. If you’d rather separate the more in-depth heavyweight board games from the family-weight games, keep on reading, because I have them divvied into those categories below. Almost all of the discounts are available in Amazon's Black Friday sale, but there are a few from Walmart and Target we've featured as well.

Board Games for Adults on Sale

Note that these are board games for adults, rather than adult-oriented board games. There’s nothing naughty going on in these. They’re aimed at adults in that they’re a bit too complicated for younger board gamers to grasp. They involve strategy. They might involve horror. They’re complex and may require patience. You can still play them while drinking, though, so don’t worry there if your board game group enjoys tipping a glass.

Family-Friendly Board Game Deals

Many of these family-friendly board games can be perfectly fun to play with your board game group, but you can also pull them out when the kids are looking for something to do and they’ve used up all their screen time. Some of these are super basic games for younger kids. Others are a little more complicated and intended for slightly older kids. Many of them are timeless classics, like Mouse Trap or Hungry Hungry Hippos. Others are newer hits like Exploding Kittens and What Do You Meme?

What Makes a Good Board Game Deal?

The one thing all the games on this list have in common is that they’re on sale for Black Friday. But what makes a good board game deal? It's tough to pin down, because it all depends on the game. Unlike LEGO Black Friday deals, for instance, board games are published by a variety of different companies and available at various retailers.

I focus my attention on Amazon, because it has the most board game Black Friday deals, and prices there are easy to track. I checked all of the prices above on the Amazon price-tracking site Camelcamelcamel to make sure they’re good deals. Most of them are at their all-time low prices now, so you can feel free to purchase, knowing you’re getting a big discount. If you branch out to other games, or other retailers, you can also use the site to check against Amazon's price history to get an idea of how good the deal is yourself.

Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man Collector Booster Boxes Are $100 Off For Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 00:30

Amazon is offering Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man Collector booster boxes (12-packs) for just $349.99 (originally $455.88), saving you over $100 for a chance to crack open some of the hottest Magic cards in awhile. The Spider-Man expansion isn't the only set getting a price drop on Amazon either; Avatar: The Last Airbender and Tarkir: Dragonstorm sealed products are on sale, as well.

Spider-Man Collector Booster Box Discounted For Black Friday

While the MTG Spider-Man set wasn't the most well-received in terms of mechanics and playability, collector booster packs like this offer a nice chance to open some expensive chase cards. These packs, which contain 15 cards just like a regular booster pack, may seem pricey, but compared to normal booster packs, they tend to come with with more foils, which are shiny, holographic versions of every card available in the set. They also often come with very sought-after alternate prints of existing cards and a higher chance for Rare or Mythic Rare cards.

For individual cards, I'd recommend checking out online card retailer TCGPlayer. From today until December 1, it's running a Cyber Monday deal on everything it sells – for every purchase you make, you get 10% cashback in store credit, or 13% back if you're a subscriber. So if you're a long-time player looking for metagame staples, this is a good opportunity to get more than you were expecting to finish some decks.

More Magic: The Gathering Items On Sale

Be sure to have a look at our handy Magic: The Gathering gift guide for more deals and inspiration for that card player in your life. In it we cover everything from accessories, playmats, dice, sleeves, and so much more. And if you're a big fan of the Final Fantasy expansion, Amazon's Black Friday sale on playmats has some of the most iconic character mats at discounted prices as well.

This Sonos Arc Soundbar Costs $500 Less Than the Arc Ultra for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 02:15

Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. It's no longer available new at Sonos direct, however for Black Friday you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $399. That's $500 less than its original retail price of $900. It's a heck of a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently "on sale" for $879.

Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing; they come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation and are reshipped in "pristine" packaging. Most importantly, Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new. I like when retailers offer the same warranty as new because that means they have faith in the reliability of their refurbs.

Sonos Arc Soundbar (Refurbished)

The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. 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.

Save $120 off the Sonos Arc Ultra for Black Friday

If you care more about getting the superior speaker, even if it might not be as cost-efficient, then the Arc Ultra might bhe the soundbar for you. This imposing 46" soundbar houses 14 total speakers, including five tweeters (plus two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels), six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer for impressive low-end that the original Arc lacked. The Arc Ultra uses AI enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

This deal is part of a greater Sonos Black Friday Sale. 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 Best Star Wars Unlimited TCG Black Friday Deals

29 novembre 2025 à 00:00

The force is strong this Black Friday, and I've managed to force grip the best prices for Star Wars: Unlimited TCG moving into Cyber Weekend for young apprentices and masters (Not acolytes, we don't talk about that in my articles).

TL:DR: Star Wars Unlimited Black Friday Deals

The fight for the best deal isn't in a galaxy far far away though, it's on Amazon and TCGPlayer, and I've compared deals on sealed products from the two so you have a good idea on what this trading card game is running you right now.

With TCGPlayers Cyber Weekend cashback event going live starting Black Friday, it's also going to be the best time of year to snap up your favorite chase cards from Star Wars: Unlimited. More on that below,so let's get into it:

10% Cashback TCGPlayer Cyber Weekend Event

If you're going to start destroying opponents bases like an absolute Sith or Rebel, you're going to need to build out your deck with the best leader and aspects that match your base. Of course there's flashier variants such as Serialized cards, which can get really expensive. But if you're look to turn you deck into something flashier or just fancy having come chase cards graded or in your binder, it's nearly the best time of year to do so.

Starting from from 9 a.m. ET on November 28 to 11 p.m. ET on December 1, you can get 10% cashback as in-store credit on anything on site, not just Star Wars: Unlimited. If you're a TCGPlayer subscriber, this bumps up to a maximum of 16%, 13% if you're a new sign up plus free delivery.

Legends of the Force Sealed Deals

This is the third set for Star Wars: Unlimited following Sparks of Rebelion and Shadows of the Galaxy, which suprisingly is based around Jedi and Sith including legends characters. There's plenty of top-tier duels from animation and cinematic Star Wars stories, alongside fan-favorite force abilities details in card mechanics. Naturally this set is packed with force-based synergies, combat manipulation and leader strategies.

TCGPlayer looks the cheapest across the board with the exception of the Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn decks. Amazon also has a good deal on the Intro Battle Hoth set, which is great for begginers to live out the opening of The Emwpire Strikes Back.

Top LOTF Chase Cards

Anakin Skywalker - Champion of Mortis is naturally going to be one of the most expensive cards in the set, and quite a deep cut from The Clone Wars series. It's also a high-impact card once deployed, naturally an aggressive light side leader and unit.

Grogu - Mysterious Child is more of a support unit for light-side decks, focusing on healing, defense and synergy with other force users. It's best played in control decks, and Grogu cards in general will likely spike with the release of Mandalorian and Grogu film dropping next year.

Baylan Skoll - Enigmatic Master makes for a solid midrange or control Darkside lewader and unit. It's good at resource manipulation, efficient dueling and board stabilization. Want to put a tactical edge to your dark side deck? Baylan is your man.

Ezra Bridger - Attuned with Life pushes card advantages and focuses on Force synergies and flexibility. Force-user tempo and value-based decks will make Ezra feel right at home. Plus with Ashoka Season 2 coming, there's every chance we'll see a spike in Ezra Bridger card values.

I don't really need to explain why a serialized Yoda card is worth $500, but in terms of gameplay, Yoda - My Ally is the Force is a great card. It's a classic control/value Light-side Force user that's great for dueling and has fantastic synergy with Force and upgrade cards.

Secrets of Power Sealed Deals

Secrets of Power is the latest Star Wars Unlimited set, with over 260 new cards and a general theme around political power struggles, espionage and manipulation. In this set, starfighters and Force users are overshadowed by spies, schemers, saboteurs and politicians. The new "Plot" keyword mechanic can be played once your leader deployed and pretty much turn resources into extra cards in your hand. Play's like Deploying Palpatine at 7 resources to bring out multiple units and extra plot cards that have been panked is a powerful tempo strategy.

TCGPlayer is cheaper across the board here with the booster box, Padmé and Chancellor Palpatine decks.

SoP Top Chase Cards

Queen Amidala — Championing Her People focuses on hand manipulation, specifically revealing or discarding an opponents hand. it has great synergy with the Padmé Amidala leader card by being solid at revealing command and heroism cards.

Cassian Andor — Climb! focuses on Stealth, Sabotage, tactical manipulation and repositioning, with some great synergy when it comes to other cards based on the Andor series.

Karis Nemik — Freedom is a Pure Idea is a good engine and support unit and works great with small rebel unit. The main play here is buffing combo-heavy deck and helping win over time by building value.

Zam Wesell - Inconspicuous Assassin is a ground unit, and when upgraded she gains Grit, which equates to a +1/+1 for each damage on her. Jar Jar Binks - Mesa Propose... is one of the new Plot cards in Secrets of Power that gives another friendly unit +2/+2 for a phase.

Spark of Rebellion Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

Spark of Rebellion was the launch set for Star Wars: Unlimited and is still ridiculously proper for it's easy-to-learn gameplay mechanics, making it ideal for newcomers to the trading card game. It focuses on the original Star Wars trilogy, Rebels vs. Empire and also features Jedi Survivors whilst going deep into Imperial Special Forces.

Once again TCGPlayer is the cheapest for sealed product, with the chase cards being showcase cards of fan favorite characters Boba Fett, Leia Organa, Emperor Palpatine, Sabrine Wren and Han Solo. It's simply a banger of a set that brings original and new fans together by addressing everything that's going on around the time of A New Hope.

Jump to Lightspeed Sealed Deals

Jump to Lightspeed is focused on starfighter combat and pilots, with the latter being a central game mechanic. They're used to attach to ships, boost ship performance, enable special actions whilst flying and trigger new keyword interactions. It expands Star Wars: Unlimited without bloating overall gameplay.

In a shock to absolutley no-one, TCGPlayer is the cheapest place to pickup Jump to Lightspeed sealed product during Black Friday.

Top JtL Chase Cards

Of course Boba Fett is one of the most valuable Pilots here, I love to see it. It's just a shame Slave 1 didn't rock up in the top 5 chase cards of Jump to Lightspeed. However there's two Millenium Falcons, because of course their is. We've also got Grand Admiral Thrawns Chimaera Star Destroyer, which is an absolute vibe in itself.

Shadows of the Galaxy Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

If you're more into the dark underbelly of Star Wars, this set is for you. It focuses on bounty hunters and the criminal underworld set in the Star Wars Galaxy, with a big focus on the Outer Rim. Specifically you can expect cards to be themed around appearances from The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Solo: A Star Wars Story and the underworld storylines from Rebels.

Amazon is the best place to buy the booster display box and starter set with Shadows of the Galaxy, with top chase cards including Cad Bane and Han Solo.

Twilight of the Republic Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

Twilight of the Republic focuses on the Clone Wars era, bringing in Ashoka Tano and General Grevious as new leaders to Star Wars: Unlimited. There's new keywords too such as "Coordinate", with new token units like Battle Droids and Clone Troopers (also known as canon fodder). The sets starter set is a good way to jump into the TCG whilst learning some of the newer mechanics over Sparks fo the Rebellions basic gameplay.

Amazon is the place to go for Twilight of the Republic sealed product this Black Friday. Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and even Quinlan Vos rock up in the top 5 chase cards in Twilight of the Republic, with welcome additions such as Cancellor Palpatine and Captain Rex all recieving their own showcase cards with a nod to The Clone Wars animated series art style.

Who Needs 'Essentials,' I'm Getting All of My Favorite Anime on Blu-ray for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 00:00

Black Friday sales are well underway, with every retailer competing for the attention of physical media collectors. Amazon is running its usual '3 for 2' sale on books and movies, while the Crunchyroll Store has launched a 40% discount across most home video releases. Between the two, there are some pretty ridiculous discounts on anime Blu-rays.

Amazon has more offers, sure, but even Bezos can't match Crunchyroll's discounts on exclusive releases, like the incredibly overpriced Blu-ray release for Cyberpunk Edgerunners. After scrolling through all of the Blu-ray sales I could find, I can now report back with the best anime deals for Black Friday 2025.

Anime Blu-ray Deals Actually Worth Getting

The best deals are split between full collections of older classics and individual seasons of newer releases. I prefer the big collections, but that might be because I’m reaching unc status in my anime taste. Along those lines, we’re seeing all-time low prices on the OG Naruto series, Ouran High School Host Club, Soul Eater, and Samurai Champloo.

If there’s one series I check any time there’s a sales event, it’s the 1997 adaptation of Berserk. Life-changing stuff, I know. Amazon has knocked a couple dollars off the standard Blu-ray, but the better deal is actually the Crunchyroll-exclusive version of the Blu-ray steelbook (particularly if you tack on the Crunchyroll member discounts).

On the newer wave, the collector’s editions of both Chainsaw Man and Dan Da Dan, which include tons of extra merch, have reached new all-time low prices. The Cyberpunk Edgerunners Blu-ray is still ridiculously overpriced in North America (and not even available on Amazon), but if you're desperate for those storyboards, the Crunchyroll Store has given it a 20% discount.

Anime Movies Hitting All-Time Low Prices

While there aren't quite as many doorbusting discounts, at least some anime movies are included in the Blu-ray deals. New all-time low prices are limited to a spread of Studio Ghibli movies, Naoka Yamada's The Colors Within, and, for whatever reason, most of the Evangelion Rebuild movies. Many tears have been shed across this group.

Crunchyroll Knocked $20 Off Annual Mega Fan Subscriptions

If you’re also on the streaming wave, Crunchyroll dropped a Black Friday deal seemingly out of nowhere. $20 off a full year of Mega Fan Crunchyroll is pretty much nothing, I know, but it does give you access to the extra 15% discount in the Crunchyroll Store as well as 12 months of unlimited anime streaming. If you’d already pay for it, might as well get it for cheaper.

The Cheapest Electric Bike Black Friday Deals for Adults Will Cost You Well Under $500

28 novembre 2025 à 23:30

It's time to retire that bike of yours and upgrade to electric! Just a few years earlier you wouldn't be able to find an electric bike for under $1,000. Although there are still plenty of premium brands that still sell ebikes for well above this threshold, it's no longer an accurate blanket statement.

For Black Friday, several eBikes are down to egregiously low prices, some well under $500. Chinese brands offer excellent value for what you get, as long as you don't overpay for one of their entry level ebikes. That's why it's best buying directly from the manufacturer off AliExpress instead of going through Amazon or a personal website where they'll just charge you more money to make up for all the marketing fees and other BS.

The deals below stand out for the following reasons: 1) they're a lot less expensive than buying the exact same bike off Amazon, 2) they're all shipped from a local US warehouse so you don't need to worry about tariffs or shipping delays, and 3) they're sold by reputable vendors with plenty of reviews and sales to back them up.

Amyet V9-G60 1000W Electric Bike for $420

The Amyet V9-G60 boasts a 1,000W (1,500W peak) brushless motor that can push the bike at speeds up to 32mph. The 48V 20AH (960Whr) battery can last up to 70 miles on a single charge (the actual distance is dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, etc). Other features include a lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano components for its 7-speed transmission, dual suspension, and 20" wheels with 4" fat tires for a more comfortable ride. The bike comes 90% preassembled and includes a one-year warranty. It's also pretty mod-friendly in case you wanted to do your own upgrades.

Luckeep X1 Lite 750W Electric Bike for $435

The X1 Lite's 750W (1,500W peak) brushless motor can hit a top speed of about 28mph. The 48V 15AH (720Whr) battery can last up to 50 miles on a single charge. Like the Amyet V9-G60, it also features a lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano 7-speed transmission, and 20" wheels with 4" fat tires, and is covered by a 12-month warranty. The feature that sets this bike apart is its ability to be folded in half with the wheels stacked next to each other. This design makes it much easier to fit in a smaller space. A little engineering magic is needed to make sure that the frame maintains its rigidity and so this feature isn't commonly found in entry level bikes.

UrLife E20 Lite 750W Electric Bike for $276

The UrLife E20 Lite is the least expensive ebike in this roundup as well as the lightest. Whereas the Luckeep X1 Lite weighs 70 pounds and the Amyet V9-G60 tops the chart at 77 pounds, the E20 Lite comes in at a modest 60 pounds. It's also equipped with a tamer 750W brushless motor with a peak rating of 1,000W, so the top speed is limited to a still respectable 20mph. The 48V 13AH (624Whr) battery, while being the smallest capacity battery in the roundup, has the best range at up to 80 miles, most likely because of the lighter weight and less power-hungry motor.

HeyBike has an office here in the United States, but they are actually a Chinese brand similar to the other listed above.

Electric Scooter Deals Starting at $109

The LADPED electric scooters are solid entry level options that are meant for adults. Both models are equipped with a peppy 350W brushless motor that can push the scooter at speeds of up to 19mph. The LP80 is equipped with a 36V 10.5aH battery that lasts up to 18 miles on a single charge. The LP60 has a much smaller 36V 5.2AH battery that will give you half that range. Both scooters weigh about 34 pounds (the LP60 is a bit lighter because of the smaller battery) and can be folded for easier transport and storage. They're equipped with standard 8.5" maintenance free honeycomb tires which are good for smooth, paved surfaces.

I've Rounded up All of the Best 4K Movie Deals for Black Friday 2025

28 novembre 2025 à 23:03

With streaming prices rising steadily, it makes sense to own your favorites outright, if you ask me. And now’s the time to grab as many as you want. In all the year, there’s no better time to stock up on physical movies and TV shows than Black Friday. Right now you can pick up 4K UHDs and Blu-rays on sale for all-time low prices at places like Amazon, Gruv, and Target.

Featured in this Article

Here’s a loooong catalog where you can find all of the 4K and Blu-ray deals we’re highlighting in this article. For a more categorical approach to the mountain of deals, read on below.

Movies on Sale

While some newer movies are on sale for excellent prices (lookin' at you, Superman), most of the deeper discounts are on older movies. Thankfully, many of those older movies are stone-cold classics. We're talking Jurassic Park, Intersteller, Reservoir Dogs, and the like. You can bulk up your 4K movie collection right now for way cheaper than most any other time of year.

Movie Collections on Sale

If you want to top off your physical movie collection even faster than buying films one at a time, grab some of these collections. And they're not just any collections – these are some of the best movies ever made. The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K should be on any film buff's shelf. So should The Dark Knight trilogy. And while you're at it, you can add the Indiana Jones and Matrix movies as well.

TV Shows on Sale

Why buy two hours' worth of entertainment when you can buy a hundred hours? That's the question posed by TV shows on disc. You can binge some of these shows all week and still have seasons left to go at the end. Shows like Game of Thrones, Friends, Dragon Ball Super, and Twin Peaks are all on sale now for the lowest prices they've been all year. Grab them before Black Friday ends.

And for upcoming releases, check out our roundup of upcoming 4K UHD and Blu-ray movies and TV shows.

Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection is up For Preorder, and it's Cheapest at TCGPlayer For Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 23:00

Well Black Friday is officially underway despite it starting over a week ago across the internet, but not every deal is what it seems. Mega Venusaur ex is getting it's own Premium Collection because it's the best start Pokémon (fight me), and it's available on Amazon right now, but hold that thought.

Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection Box

The problem is it's $80 price tag, just yesterday it was $63.75 down from $79.99, now it's down from $94.90. In a period of time when we're forced to buy sealed product for more than MSRP (In this case, $39.99), it's my job to make sure you're paying a little premium as possible.

TCGPlayer also has listings available for Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection starting from $61.59. They're also having a Cyber Weekend event that gives buyers 10% cashback as account credit on any purchase.

If you're a subscriber, this bumps up to 13% on-top of your existing subscriber cashback for a total of 16% cashback between now and the end of Cyber Monday. That means you'll get from $6.15 to $9.85 cashback credit just for buying this collection at the best price currently. Win-win, right?

Inside the Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection is:

  • 2 x Mega Evolution Boosters
  • 3 x Destined Rivals Boosters
  • 3 x Journey Together Boosters
  • Mega Venusaur ex Giant Lenticular promo card
  • Mega Venusaur ex promo card

Mega Venusaur ex is actually pretty playable when combined with Meganium from Mega Evolutions (There's an awesome looking Stamped promo version too), with it's ability allowing it to transfer energy between Pokémon combined with Meganium's ability that doubles Grass energy in play. That means Mega Venusaurs Jungle Dump attack, costing four grass energy, can be set up and used in one turn if you play this strategy right. That's 240 damage set up instantly, and is frankly mad.

The Only Way to Get a Peacock Black Friday Deal This Year Is Through Walmart

28 novembre 2025 à 23:00

Walmart's Black Friday sale has been all over the place so far, but there's one clear highlight: For a limited time, new subscribers can pick up one year of Walmart+ for half the price. So instead of paying $98, you'll pay just $49 for the first 12 months of your subscription.

This may not seem like a streaming deal at first glance, but once you factor in the benefits of a Walmart+ membership, this discount starts to look pretty great. With a membership, you'll get a choice between a Peacock Premium subscription or a Paramount+ subscription in addition to free shipping and grocery delivery. Now that we know Peacock isn't bringing back their killer Black Friday deal from last year, this is one of the best Black Friday streaming deals for anyone who shops at Walmart.

Streaming Service Savings Breakdown

Paramount+ does have a Black Friday deal, dropping the monthly price to $2.99, but it only lasts two months. Peacock had one of the best Black Friday deals last year, offering a full year with ads for $19.99, but we haven't heard a peep from the service in 2025. So with that in mind, I think it's worth breaking down the savings you'll get on just those subscriptions with this deal:

  • Peacock Premium (no ads) - $109.99 annually (Save $60.99 with Walmart+)
  • Paramount+ Basic (with ads) - $59.99 annually (Save $10.99 with Walmart+)

It's pretty clear just looking at the prices that choosing the Peacock Premium subscription will net you the most savings. But it's worth noting that Walmart+ actually gives you the option to change your subscription for free every 90 days. So if you start with Peacock Premium, you can switch to Paramount+ about three months in. With an annual subscription you can swap services up to four times before the year is up.

What's on Peacock?

Peacock isn't as well known as a Netflix or Disney+, but it does have some good originals. Most recently there is The Paper, a spin-off series from the creators of The Office. There's also the popular mystery series Poker Face that I binged myself and loved. Peacock also has exclusive rights to movies from Universal and Focus Features (including things like Jurassic World Rebirth). If you've never had a Peacock subscription before, it has a surprisingly deep catalog of things for you to stream.

What's on Paramount+?

Paramount+ is the home of pretty much anything Paramount. That means you'll find things like the Mission: Impossible movies, Transformers, and the entirety of the Star Trek Universe. It is also the new home of South Park, meaning it's the only place you can stream new episodes of season 28 as they air. You'll also find a roster of Nickelodeon shows spanning decades, from SpongeBob and iCarly to Rocko's Modern Life. Walmart+ only gets you access to a basic subscription, however, so you'll need to deal with ads. (And if you want access to shows like Yellowjackets or Dexter, you'll need a Paramount+ Premium plan that includes Showtime, which is, obviously, not included in this Walmart+ deal.) There is currently a free trial of Paramount+ you can try if you want to test it out before committing to an annual subscription.

eBay Still Has the Best Meta Quest 3 Black Friday Deal at Nearly 30% Off Retail Price

28 novembre 2025 à 22:50

We are through much of Black Friday and the best Meta Quest deal is still one that I first spotted last week. The Meta Store on eBay is offering refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headsets for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. Since these headsets are reconditioned and shipped by Meta itself, it's not much different from buying a brand new one. Although there are other Meta Quest deals, none are as enticing as this one.

Refurb Meta Quest 3 for $359.99

Includes extended 2 year warranty

The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset and is a significant upgrade compared to its less expensive Quest 3S sibling. The two share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. I own it myself (and I reviewed it for IGN) and have logged over a thousand hours in Beat Saber alone.

TL;DR:

  • Quest 3 has sharper resolution (2064x2208 vs 1832x1920)
  • Quest 3 has better lens array (pancake vs fresnel)
  • Quest 3 has wider FOV (104°/96° vs 96°/90°)
  • Quest 3 has higher storage capacity (512GB vs 128GB)
  • Same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
  • Same Touch Plus controllers
  • Same 120Hz refresh rate
  • Same Mixed reality passthrough functionality
  • Same tetherless and tethered functionality

All of the Harry Potter Interactive Illustrated Editions Are on Sale for Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 22:45

There are a lot of different versions of the Harry Potter books. There's the original hardcovers, paperbacks with stencilled edges, and even a full-on Hogwarts trunk filled with the books you can buy. If you're looking for a gift to buy the Potter fan in your life while Black Friday deals are on, it can be a little overwhelming to decide exactly what set of books is worth purchasing for their collection. If you're buying for someone who has already read the entire series multiple times over, however, I'd suggest going with the illustrated editions that Amazon currently has in its buy 2, get 1 free book sale today.

Surprise, surprise, though, there are actually two different illustrated editions to choose from! There's the larger hardcovers (illustrated by Jim Kay) and the interactive illustrated editions (from MinaLima). Of the two, only the interactive illustrated editions are all included in Amazon's promotion.

Harry Potter Interactive Illustrated Edition Sale

Amazon's buy 2, get 1 free sale is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is add three items to your cart and the least expensive of the three will be discounted from the final price at checkout. Since there are currently four of the illustrated interactive editions available, you'll need to choose which three to add to your cart to get the discount. Whatever you choose, you'll be looking at an additional $21 off by purchasing three at once. Since each of these books is already reduced in price, that comes out to $89.90 for the full collection of four if you buy them all at once.

As you may have noticed, only the first four books in the series have gotten the interactive illustrated treatment so far. The first three books feature illustrations and papercraft from MinaLima while the Goblet of Fire was taken over by Karl James Mountford (Illustrator) and Jess Tice Gilbert (Designer). This discrepancy between artists is due to MinaLima announcing that she wasn't going to continue with the project. The most recent edition, The Goblet of Fire, was the first new book in this line of special editions since 2023 and was released a only a month ago in October 2025. The change in artists means that there are still plans to finish giving the rest of the series the same treatment in the coming years.

What is the "Interactive" element of these illustrated editions?

I actually own all of the MinaLima editions and have had the chance to read through them myself. The interactive element here refers to papercraft hidden within the pages. These are essentially illustrations that spin, open up, or can be played with in some way. It actually makes for a really fun experience as you make your way through the story. The only issue I've had with it is that it's not really meant to be used too heavily. The paper elements are obviously quite fragile and this isn't a book that you're supposed to be reading over and over again. As a collector's item and an occasional read, however, they are pretty cool. For an idea of what to expect you can check out some of the interactive elements featured in my copy of The Sorcerer's Stone.

Is Now the Best Time to Buy These Books?

Right now, this is the best deal on these books anywhere. It's certainly possible that prices could drop further on Cyber Monday, but it's unlikely that this buy 2, get 1 free promotion will still be around by then. Amazon recently dropped a bunch of new book deals for its Black Friday sale, so this is as good as it's going to get.

That being said, Amazon's "3 for 2" sale offers a unique opportunity to save on the entire collection. Even if Amazon further discounts the individual titles, you'll most likely end up saving the same amount as you would purchasing now. This type of deal is especially great for buying full collections at once, which we've seen with the the Lord of the Rings illustrated editions and popular book box sets that are eligible for the discount.

After Silksong DLC, Team Cherry Is Thinking About Making a Brand New Game Rather Than Hollow Knight 3 — Their Only Time Concern Is a Morbid One: 'Death'

28 novembre 2025 à 22:40

Team Cherry has revealed it’s thinking about making a brand new game rather than a Hollow Knight 3 — but admitted that their only time concern is “death.”

Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen took seven years to make Silksong, the hotly anticipated follow-up to breakout hit Hollow Knight — although they didn’t plan to. During a sweeping interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, in which the duo confirmed plans for Silksong DLC, talk turned to what’s next.

It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen are thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all.

“... we do have other games that we plan to make,” Gibson said. “The only time concern really is — and we’ve talked about this before — death. It’s not that far off if you spend seven years per project, and potentially add another two. So it’d be nice to do a few more games. Apparently our timeframe still allows us to fit a few more in. Short of an unexpected tragedy.”

It’s a grim thought, but one that's been on the minds of a number of high profile video game developers. In 2023, ahead of the release of Starfield, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard said The Elder Scrolls 6 may be the last game in the fantasy series he makes, given how long the Microsoft-owned studio takes to make its games.

“And then as we look to an Elder Scrolls 6, that is one where... I probably shouldn't say this, but if I do the math, I'm not getting any younger,” Howard said. “How long do people play Elder Scrolls for? That may be the last one I do. I don't know.”

In May, 62-year-old Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima revealed he had thought about his own mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic, during which he became very sick. “Turning 60 was less of a turning point in my life than my experiences during the pandemic,” he said. “I fell seriously ill at that time, and also had an eye operation. Until then, I didn’t think I was old, you know? I just didn’t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live.

“But then I became sick, and I couldn’t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, ‘Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?’ Perhaps I have 10 years?”

Kojima even put a number of ideas on a USB stick and gave it to his assistant during the pandemic "kind of like a will," at a time when he was worried about his studio, Kojima Productions, and making sure the staff would continue to get paid if he was unable to make games.

As for Team Cherry, Gibson and Pellen said whatever they end up doing next, whether it’s a brand new game or Hollow Knight 3, it’ll be along similar lines to the games the studio has made before.

“We have said we’ll go elsewhere as well,” Gibson said. “Although we’ve also said those experiences will still be about exploring big worlds full of weird characters and giant bosses and whatnot. So there would be a through line there that people will be familiar with. That’s not to say we won’t return to these Hollow Knight worlds. We do have ideas around what forms those would take. But we also don’t want to be exclusively people that make Hollow Knight.”
