The Dark Knight Trilogy Falls Below $30 for Black Friday

Look, you might already own these movies. You might've see them a million times. But, can I interest you in The Dark Knight trilogy once more, now in 4K UHD and featuring HDR for "deeper, more lifelike visuals?" Christopher Nolan's iconic Batman trilogy is on sale for a near-low price of $29 during Amazon's Black Friday sale.

The Dark Knight Trilogy 4K UHD for $29

The Dark Knight Trilogy features three incredible films: 2005's Batman Begins, 2008's masterpiece The Dark Knight, and 2012's The Dark Knight Rises. Christian Bale's performance as Batman is one of the best the franchise has ever seen in live action, and Heath Ledger's legendary depection of The Joker set the benchmark for what a comic book villain can be.

While this isn't as fancy as the Amazon-exclusive steelbook set that was recently released, it's a great package that brings all three movies into the modern era with improved visuals that pop on 4K TVs all for under $30.

Black Friday is also historically the best time to pick up a new TV, so if you're looking to upgrade your current set to something larger or with a better picture (or both), check out our Black Friday TV shopping guide for tips on what to look for and where.

Black Friday sales are just beginning, including early sales from Amazon and Best Buy, so be sure to follow along all week as we round up the best deals this shopping season.

The Brand-New Icon Blue PS5 DualSense Is Already Discounted for Black Friday

Calling all fans of blue – PS5's latest special edition DualSense, Icon Blue, is already discounted during Playstation's Black Friday sale. Despite releasing only a month ago, the Walmart-exclusive color is on sale for $64, which is actually cheaper than a standard DualSense controller. But, don't wait too long as this controller is likely to sell out quickly at this price.

Save $20 Off Icon Blue DualSense at Walmart

This new controller is very blue, with everything from the joysticks, buttons, triggers, and grips all featuring bold and vibrant shades of blue. The touchpad even features glossy blue icons representing the PlayStation symbols.

In the recent PlayStation blog post, Leo Cardoso from the Color, Material and Finish design team said the new DualSense is "inspired by PlayStation’s iconic shades of blue, this design captures the feeling of anticipation and wonder every time you pick up the controller. As a nod to our origins, we added Katakana characters on the back that spell our name the Japanese way: Pureisutēshon."

Sony is no stranger to releasing unique colors of its DualSense controller, but since this is labeled as a "Special Edition," it's not likely to stick around for long. I rarely purchase special edition controllers, but this one has me very tempted.

Check out PlayStation's 2025 Black Friday sale for even more deals on games, consoles, and more.

Target's LEGO Christmas Wreath Deal Is Already Sold Out at Amazon

Target is one of the best places to buy LEGO sets in general, but sometimes it's also the only place to buy them at a discount. One such set is the LEGO Wreath-Making Kit, which is currently discounted to $87.99 as part of a three-day sale. This $12 price cut may not seem significant, but seeing as it is completely sold out at Amazon right now, it's definitely worth picking up at this price while you still can ahead of the holidays.

LEGO Wreath-Making Kit Sale at Target

LEGO actually has a ton of really cool Christmas sets available, but not very many of them are getting discounts right now. There was a LEGO Christmas Tree set that went on sale a couple of weeks ago that was incredibly popular, but that price drop didn't last long before jumping back up to full price. This latest deal on the LEGO Wreath-Making Kit deal appears to be even more popular than that seeing as it has already sold out at Amazon at this price.

The wreath itself is made up of a whopping 1,194 pieces, which has earned it an 18+ age rating. As part of LEGO's Botanical line of sets, each of the pieces are made to look like actual fir tree foliage. The wreath is comprised of a ton of little leaves, colorful berries, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and pine cones. It has all the makings of a great wreath, but without the actual mess and smell of a real wreath. You can choose to hang it on your door or place it on a wall as a nice Christmas decoration ahead of the 2025 holiday season.

According to Target's sale page, this discount will only last through Sunday November 23. Coincidentally, that's also when the official Target Black Friday sale is set to begin. The full Target Black Friday ad has been released and you can already check out what upcoming LEGO discounts will be arriving next week.

More LEGO Christmas Sets

If you're looking for more LEGO Christmas options, there's plenty more to choose from – though not at a discount. The LEGO Poinsettia is a great choice if you like the Wreat-Making kit, but there's also more fun sets like the Star Wars Gingerbread AT-AT that just came out this year.

AirPods 4 Hit New Low Prices for Black Friday

Black Friday is usually the best time of the year to pick up Apple products, as that tends to be when they hit their lowest-ever prices. Apple's official Black Friday sale begins November 28 and includes up to $250 in gift cards with select products, which has been the case for many years now. However, Amazon is actually running better deals than Apple on its products, including a new lowest-ever price for AirPods 4 (both the Active Noise Cancellation and standard models). The best part? You can get the sale price right now. Check out the deals below.

AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for $99.99

Right now, you can pick up the AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) for $99, and the standard AirPods 4 for $79. While many people will likely be happy with the cheaper option, I urge you to consider spending the extra $20 for the better pair, as the difference in sound quality between the two is night and day.

AirPods 4 features a complete redesign of Apple's iconic wireless earbuds, including a new shape that fits better in your ears, improved audio quality, up to 30 hours of total listening time, and better phone calls that isolate your voice for added clarity.

But, the biggest jump is the introduction of a second AirPods 4 model with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). While this feature has traditionally been reserved for the AirPods Pro models, it's a welcome addition for the base AirPods as it helps eliminate distracting external noise while listening to music, podcasts, or talking on the phone. This model also includes a wireless charging-capable case as an added bonus.

For audio enthusiasts, the new AirPods Pro 3 are also on sale for Black Friday as well, which offer improved ANC, an improved fit, and the ability to track workouts without an iPhone or Apple Watch needed. The 11th generation iPad is also on sale for its lowest price of the year as part of Amazon's Black Friday sale.

Astro Bot Is One Of The Best PS5 Games, And It's 33% Cheaper At Amazon For Black Friday

If you're not familiar with the adorable Astro Bot yet, there’s someone we’d like you to meet. The star of a PlayStation VR minigame and the PS5 pack-in has finally got his own full-length, non-VR adventure (although Rescue Mission is well worth playing). It’s one of the best platformers on Sony’s newest console. If you’ve not picked it up yet, you can save 33% during Amazon's Black Friday sale.

Astro Bot Might Be The Best Way To Spend $40 On PS5

Thanks to Amazon’s early-bird Black Friday deals, the game is now $39.97, and it’s well worth a look at that price. It's been one of the most popular PS5 game deals for Black Friday so far.

The 2024 adventure sees Astro’s ship torn asunder by a nefarious alien, and he needs to work across multiple galaxies to bring all the pieces back together and recruit his pals.

What could have become a hollow, soulless brand fiesta of navigating worlds and finding cute Bot versions of iconic PlayStation (and third-party) characters feels like the best celebration of the medium since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as you navigate through worlds inspired by the likes of God of War, Ape Escape, Uncharted, and more.

As reviewer Simon Cardy said, “A fantastically inventive platformer in its own right, Astro Bot is particularly special for anyone with a place in their heart for PlayStation.” He awarded it a 9 out of 10. It also got last year's Game Awards Game of the Year award.

While the game is accessible for just about anyone whether they’re a platforming expert or relative novice, developer Asobi Team has added additional time trial modes for free since launch that are particularly challenging – but add even more gaming icons as their reward.

The Astro Bot DualSense Controller is also on sale

If you're hoping to play Astro Bot the way it was truly meant to be played, you can also pick up the limited-edition Astro Bot Dualsense controller at a discount too. This deal is part of Best Buy's Black Friday sale and probably won't last for long.

Amazon Is Slashing Prices on Ravensburger Christmas Puzzles for Black Friday

One of my favorite family holiday traditions is gathering around a good jigsaw puzzle. It's one of the few activities that draws in people of all ages to work on the same activity. Every year we break out a new puzzle and just slowly work on it throughout the day together. It's relaxing, fun, and you end up with a feeling of accomplishment when you finally place that last piece. It's my turn to bring a puzzle to the family gathering this year, and luckily, Amazon is discounting a ton of puzzles from Ravensburger right now.

Ravensburger is one of the best jigsaw puzzle brands available and one of the few I always look to buy when there's a sale. The collection of Christmas-themed puzzles I've highlighted below are especially good for the holidays, but you can check out the full sale for more options.

Ravensburger Jigsaw Puzzle Sale at Amazon Today

Almost all of the puzzles in this sale are considered Amazon Lightning deals. That means there is a limit to how much stock is available at the discount listed for each item. So the more popular a puzzle is, the more likely it is to have the discount fully claimed before time runs out on the sale. After covering these sales a few times, however, I've found that the "limit" on the discount is only ever reached on the most popular puzzles. And since these discounts are all part of Amazon's official Black Friday sale, it's likely that the deals will last beyond the limit if people are buying enough of them.

Tips for Buying Jigsaw Puzzles

Buying any size puzzle is a commitment. It's one that you can easily just put on a shelf and forget about, but actually starting and finishing it takes time. Unless you are a world champion puzzler, it's going to take you more than one day to put one together unless it's less than 100 pieces or you have many people helping you out.

Make sure you have enough space

The first thing you should consider before buying a puzzle is whether or not you have a place to put it together. Given that many popular puzzles are 500-1,000 pieces, it can be hard to keep track of all of them at any given time. You'll need ample space to both sort through and organize pieces and be able to leave or store it and come back to it later. If you don't already have a table that is ideal for puzzling, there are quite a few puzzle boards and tables you can buy to remedy that. There are also jigsaw puzzle mats to roll up your puzzle and put it away without undoing all of your progress. All of these make for great puzzle gifts and I'd highly recommend them to any puzzle fanatic.

Make sure you actually like the puzzle's image

Perhaps the more obvious tip for buying any sort of puzzle is to make sure you actually like the image you're putting together before you make a purchase. A lot of puzzles feature a ton of tiny intricate details to keep you interested as you put it together, but some feature large swaths of single colors that could get tedious to put together. If you're already investing a bunch of your time into a puzzle, pick something that you'll be happy to see when finished, even for just a moment in time.

Invest in some puzzle glue

While most people put together puzzles just for the enjoyment of it all, it can also be fun to display the finished product once you're done. This is especially true if the puzzle is depicting a work of art, rather than just a photograph. It is, after all, a cardboard poster that you've put together yourself. If you plan on displaying your puzzle after you finish, you'll want to get yourself some puzzle glue to ensure the finished product actually stays together when you frame it.

Astro Bot DualSense Controller Is Down to Its Lowest Price Ever for Black Friday

Playstation's Black Friday sale is now live, offering sweet deals like $100 off PS5 consoles, savings on dozens of games, and much more. It's rare that Sony discounts its limited edition DualSense controllers, but they are all currently $20 off as part of this sale, including the newly updated Astro Bot DualSense, which now features a joyful expression on the touchpad.

If you've been waiting to replace one of your aging DualSense controllers, looking to add another limited edition to your collection, or just can't get enough of that adorable little Astro Bot, then you won't want to miss out on this deal.

Astro Bot DualSense for $64.99

Like many of PlayStation's limited edition DualSense controllers, the Astro Bot DualSense is based on one of its many franchises, specifically 2024's Game of the Year, Astro Bot. The controller features a white and blue trim that perfectly matches the Dual Speeder in-game, as well as a smiling set of eyes on the touchpad.

The Joyful limited edition is actually a slightly updated version of the original controller, which released at the end of October, with the only difference being Astro Bot's cheery expression on the touchpad, as opposed to the original's circular eyes.

If you haven't played Astro Bot yet (and seriously, why not?), it's currently on sale for $39 as part of the PlayStation Black Friday sale. This is a must-play for fans of mascot platformers and especially for fans of PlayStation, as there are countless references to the company's 30-plus-year history littered throughout the game that will have you looking as cheerful as this matching controller.

We gave Astro Bot a glowing 9/10 review, with our reviewer saying, "Team Asobi has crafted a mascot platformer that goes near enough toe-to-toe with Nintendo's best efforts, and that's about as high a compliment as I can give it."

If you're looking for even more savings this season, check out the entire PlayStation's 2025 Black Friday sale for deals on games, consoles, and more.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Drops to $29.99 for Black Friday

It took a long time to get the next chapter of Peter Parker’s journey after that Venom tease at the end of the first game, but we finally got here. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 more than lives up to the first game and the Miles Morales-focused PS5 launch title. And, now that its been out for two years or so, we’re starting to see more discounts on the city-spanning adventure. As part of Amazon’s Black Friday deals, the game is down to $29.99 – that’s better than half price.

Spider-Man 2 Is Over 50% Off

That price is thanks to Amazon jumping the gun on its Black Friday deals, meaning you can snap up the AAA adventure for under $30.

As for the game itself, it tells the story of both Peter and Miles this time around, with both playing key roles. It’s a great way to see more of Spider-Man’s rogues gallery than would fit in the first game, but the biggest threat is Kraven who comes to New York to hunt our two Spider-Men.

It ratchets everything great about the first game up a notch, and even lets you switch between both characters effortlessly in the open world thanks to the PS5’s SSD loading speeds.

Reviewer Simon Cardy gave the game an 8 out of 10 for IGN, saying “Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac's best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip.”

As for what’s next for Insomniac’s fledgling Marvel universe, it’ll be Wolverine arriving next year. The game is slated to launch in Q4 of 2026, and we got our first gameplay overview at Sony’s State of Play in September.

Battlefield 6 Is Already on Sale for Black Friday on PS5 and Xbox

Battlefield 6 has offered a true return to form for the long-running shooter franchise, and while its campaign perhaps doesn’t do anything new, it remains a fantastic multiplayer sandbox.

If your whole friends' list is playing and you’ve been waiting for a chance to jump in with them, then good news – you can save up to 24% on EA’s massive shooter at Amazon in its Black Friday deals.

Save On Battlefield 6 For Black Friday

Battlefield 6 only launched in October, and sold big numbers, but it’s already down to $59.45 from its $69.99 MSRP on Xbox. PlayStation players have it even better, with the PS5 version of the game down to $52.99.

While we didn’t love the campaign, there’s no denying it’s a gorgeous-looking shooting gallery, but as with any Battlefield game, the real draw is multiplayer.

Whether you’re looking for infantry combat, the opportunity to fly a jet or helicopter, or you just want to pile into a tank with your friends and bring down buildings, there’s something for everyone.

Reviewer Justin Koreis gave the multiplayer an 8 out of 10, saying, “Battlefield 6’s multiplayer action is expertly crafted, wrapped in a wonderful layer of destructibility that both looks great and materially affects the flow of combat. The gunplay is excellent, with weapons that are accurate enough to reward skilled shooting, but have just enough sway to promote a bit of careful thought while you take aim.”

Battlefield 6 is currently in the middle of its first season of post-launch content, including new maps and modes, while the RedSec Battle Royale mode is also available as a standalone free-to-play game.

Given how successful the game has been for EA, you can likely expect new seasonal updates well into the future.

This Roomba Robot Vacuum Deal at Amazon Is Too Good Not to Share Ahead of Black Friday

I've only ever owned one robot vacuum in my life and it was a Roomba. I absolutely loved the thing right up until it came time for me to empty it, which was surprisingly frequently. But then once we got a dog who sheds and emptying became an almost daily thing, I ended up giving up on the idea of having a little vacuum butler in my life and retired it to the basement. But as I'm browsing Amazon's latest Black Friday deals this weekend, there's a pretty significant price cut that caught my eye and has me questioning whether or not I do need a robot vacuum.

The Roomba J9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum has dropped in price by a whopping 64% today. That's one of the cheapest prices I've ever seen on a self-emptying Roomba, and by far the most affordable this particular model has ever been. At this price I'm definitely considering picking one up this year.

iRobot Roomba j9+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum Deal

I usually rely on IGN's tech reviews to research things before I buy them, but since we don't actually review robot vacuums I had to look to our sister site, PC Mag. According to an expert review from Andrew Gebhart, PC Mag's Senior Smart Home writer, the iRobot j9+ is "a user-friendly robot vacuum that justifies its high price with strong suction power, reliable obstacle avoidance, self-emptying functionality, and ample app features." The vacuum also made his list of the best robot vacuums you can buy in 2025.

It seems like the main downside of this vacuum is the high price, but that's pretty much negated with the latest discount. At $319.98, the j9+ is down to its lowest price in Amazon history by a pretty significant margin. There are certainly cheaper self-emptying vacuums from other brands out there, but this particular model was expensive for a reason: It comes with a ton of features (like mapping out your home) and has an excellent battery life.

Do you need a robot vacuum?

I'm certainly not a robot vacuum expert, but when I did have a roomba in the past I loved the convenience. They are especially helpful for hardwood floors that gather a lot of obvious dust and hair, but they don't fully remove the need to vacuum entirely. Even with smarter features, robot vacuums still miss spots and have limits to what they can do. They do greatly cut down on how often you need to vacuum, though, and they are great for keeping dust levels down for anyone in the household that gets extra sneezy.

With that in mind, nobody actually needs a robot vacuum. They are a luxury you add to your home simply because you can. If you want one, just make sure you get a good one that will last long enough to be a worthwhile investment.

PlayStation VR 2 Is Back Down to It's Lowest Price Ever for Black Friday

Sony has never been shy about trying new things, and after the PlayStation 4 got the original PSVR, the PlayStation 5 gets, you guessed it, PlayStation VR 2. The PS5 headset is a marked step up from what came before, and thanks to PlayStation's Black Friday deals, you can pick one up for just under $300. The deal is available at every major retailer that sells gaming gear.

Play Horizon: Call Of The Mountain For 25% Less

You can either get the base PSVR, or the one that comes bundled with Horizon: Call Of The Mountain, so you'll obviously want the one that comes with a free game. Both are reduced by 25% from the MSRP, bringing it down to $299, and includes everything you need to jump into VR – except, well, a PlayStation 5. Thankfully, PS5 consoles are on sale for Black Friday as well.

Still, if you do have Sony’s latest and greatest console you can enjoy the headset, two controllers with finger tracking, haptic feedback, and adaptive triggers, and a copy of Horizon: Call Of The Mountain.

We gave the game 7/10 when Simon Cardy reviewed it, writing, “Horizon Call of the Mountain’s exciting highs elevate it just enough above its often monotonous climbing mechanics to create a fun first blockbuster entry into the PS VR 2 library.” But if you were planning on picking up the headset anyway, it’s a nice bonus inclusion.

For those without a PS5, there's also a pretty affordable PC adapter available. The headset has since earned its place as one of the best VR headsets for PC gaming, and actually setting it up with your gaming rig is fairly easy.

So, what of the hardware? The HDR OLED panel inside the headset supports up to 120Hz refresh rate, and there’s a 110-degree field of view for improved immersion, with foveated rendering to know where you’re looking and what to render in more detail.

We gave the headset a huge 9/10 from Gabriel Moss, saying, “With top-notch visual quality and immersively tactile Sense controllers, PlayStation VR2 represents a quantum leap over its predecessor, setting a new standard for console VR gaming.”

Couldn’t have put it better myself.
