Launched to appeal to the crowd that wants a big TV but doesnt want that TV to dominate their decor, one of the newer features, released last year, introduced an anti-reflection matte display that took the framed artwork aspect to new levelsand with 4K picture quality. As the name implies, the allure of this TV is that it can double as a digital art frame, with its anti-glare matte display and customizable frame.I first saw the 2022 version up close when it was released, admittedly having been fooled by my brother into thinking it was an actual painting (it really does look like one). The matte screen does a good job of making the TV seem like a painting, and it's great for bright rooms that might otherwise get a lot of glare from the screen. This version had an "average" review from PCMag due mainly to poor contrast and its price. However, the new 2024 version is the latest generation of this series and has notable improvements. You'll get an improved refresh rate of 120Hz, the same QLED display, and 4K resolution with a Quantum 4K processor. You can buy frames separately to your taste, and even design them with a Harry Potter theme, like this guy did on TikTok.

My Favorite Gym Bag Is on Sale for Cyber Mondaylifehacker.comWe may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.My favorite duffel bag is on a Cyber Monday sale, and if you didn't snag one last time it was discounted, take another look, because this is one of the best (and most affordable!) gym bags out there. I'm talking about the Adidas Defender. It comes in different sizes; I own the Small, which is on sale for just $26.99 in black today. Prices vary by color, but you can also get the Medium for $26.50 in black, or the Large for $38.50 in red, to name a few. adidas Defender 4 Medium Duffel Bag, Black/Silver Metallic, One Size $30.00 at Amazon $45.00 Save $15.00 Get Deal Get Deal $30.00 at Amazon $45.00 Save $15.00 Im not kidding when I say its my favorite gym bag. I bought mine five years ago, almost to the day. Ive used it almost daily since then, and it still looks brand new. (Minus the purple ink that I spilled in one of the inside pockets, but I was able to get almost all of it out.) This is my regular duty gym bag, and heres what I normally carry in it:A pair of Nike Romaleo 3 weightlifting shoes in the side pocket with the mesh panelA wealth of snacks and electrolytes in the other side pocket, including a sack of fun-size sour patch to share with my friends.Small items like my inhaler, lip balm, and a phone charging cable in the little front zipper pocketA leather belt (Pioneer Cut 3 suede single-prong), which I keep in the main compartment, curled around all the rest of my stuffAlso in the main compartment, inside the belt: two pairs of knee sleeves, two pairs of knee wraps, a resistance band for my shoulder warmup routine, a water bottle, a training journal, and probably a dozen other things Ive forgotten about, but they are in there when I need them, if I can find them, probably. (UPDATE: I found a long-lost phone battery in the bottom of my bag today. Water bottle is missing, though. Watch this space for more as this story develops.)And this is the small bag! Theres even enough room to add a lunchbox and/or a packing cube with a change of clothes for when I go to competitions.The only place it feels cramped is in the shoe compartment: If I had bigger feet, I'd probably appreciate the Medium bag. Credit: Beth Skwarecki The Medium is also a handy size for non-gym purposes. Our managing editor, Meghan Walbert, snagged two Mediums for her teenager sons the last time these duffels were on sale. When I asked her today how theyre holding up, she sent a picture of them packed for a holiday road trip, with the note, Theyre great!Ill add that if you want to use these duffels as a travel bag, you may want to pick up some packing cubes to use with them. May I suggest a two-pack of the U+U clean/dirty packing cubes that are also on sale today? Each one has a zipper on the back to put your dirty laundry in for the trip home (so the two-pack will give two people each room for their clean and dirty clothesor one person can have a cube for their gym bag and a cube for their suitcase, which is how I use them.)Here are those links again:Adidas Defender duffel bag in Small (38 liter) ($26.99 in black, normally $40)Adidas Defender duffel bag in Medium (66 liters), ($26.50 in black, normally $45)Adidas Defender duffel bag in Large (110 liters) ($38.50 in red, normally $55).These prices are for the classic black version with white logo, but there's a whole rainbow of colors available.

The design allows you to steam and even bake foods in the zapper box while also acting as excellent food storage containers.The best Cyber Monday deals on coffee and tea gearPhoto by Sam Rutherford/EngadgetLike most workplaces, Engadget runs on coffee or at least the people responsible for it do. Many of us put our collective caffeinated experiences together to come up with a gift guide for coffee lovers. Of course, some of us are partial to tea, so we put a guide to tea gifts together as well. Right now for Cyber Monday, many of the picks from both lists are on sale.Breville the Bambino Plus Espresso Machine for $400 ($100 off): As we said in our coffee gift guide, this quality machine has two things going for it for the home barista: Its not gigantic and not crazy expensive (compared to the $1,000-plus options out there). The controls are simple enough for newbies, but the results are cafe-quality. Also at Williams Sonoma and direct from Breville.Fellow Tally coffee scale for $148 ($37 off): If you, or someone youre buying presents for, are Very Serious about coffee, this scale might make sense.

And the hold feature keeps water hot for up to an hour. Its great for coffee pour over but is also excellent for tea.Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano for $97 ($52 off): We've seen this price for much of the past month, so it's not exactly a new deal, but still a good discount on the machine that led Engadget's Avery Ellis to dub the sous vide stick the Millennial crockpot. She uses this one a few times a week to make unfussy meals that keep her alive. The Nano model is a slightly smaller and less expensive version of the top pick in our buyers guide. Also direct from Anova for $99.The best Cyber Monday deals on air fryers and Instant PotsInstant BrandsAir fryers make microwaves jealous. Food that would otherwise come out hot yet soggy comes out hot and crisp and doesnt take that much more time.

Here are the best Cyber Monday deals on the air fryers and Instant Pots we recommend.Instant Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer for $99 ($70 / 41 percent off): This is the top recommendation in our guide to air fryers and happens to be the model I bought for myself after reading our guide.

Plus clean-up is easy and the window is handy for making sure the nachos don't burn. Also at Walmart.Cosori 9-in-1 air frier for $88 ($32 off): This is the newest addition in our list, earning a runner up nod for best overall.

Also at Best Buy.Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer for $280 ($70 off): This is the non-Pro version of the Breville air fryer we recommend. It has a slightly smaller capacity (0.8 cubic feet instead of one cubic foot). But still has most of the same features including 11 of the 13 cooking functions.Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 pressure cooker (6QT) for $99 ($71 off): These ubiquitous and highly versatile cookers can make just about anything you can dream up Instant Pot recipes make up a considerable portion of online recipes. This is the pro version of the model we recommend in our buyer's guide to kitchen tech and it has five favorite buttons and extra wattage for a faster preheat. Best Buy has the eight-quart model on sale for $120.Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker for $80 ($50 off): We like this Instant Pot model because it's simple to use and has several quick-cooking modes including beans, cake, sous vide and more.The best Cyber Monday deals on blenders and mixersKitchenAidCyber Monday is a good time to upgrade an aging hand blender or finally get that Vitamix youve been thinking about.

Also at Amazon and Williams Sonoma.Ninja SS101 Foodi Smoothie Maker for $80 ($40 off): Engadgets Vallentina Palladino recommends this smoothie blender in our gift guide for cooks saying it doesnt take up that much space and the swappable lids make it easy to take ones health shakes on the go.

This is the one he picked for our grilling gear buyers guide.Ninja AF150AMZ Air Fryer for $90 ($70 off): This gets an honorable mention in our air fryer guide. Though the round cooking basket doesnt feel as roomy as square ones, the taller and thinner design might make the most of limited countertop space. Plus it has a dehydrate option for making your own dried fruit.Ooni Karu 16 outdoor pizza oven for $520 ($130 off): The Karu 16 is our favorite multi-fuel outdoor pizza oven but its not cheap, so its best to get it when its on sale. It has a large capacity that can handle full size pizzas and even cast iron cookware using wood, charcoal or propane fuel. Plus the bottom-mounted digital thermometer helps you keep tabs on your cooking.Ninja Creami ice cream maker for $160 ($40 off): One of our favorite kitchen gadgets, this ice cream maker is super easy to use and makes an infinite amount of frozen treats; you're really only limited by your imagination. This is an Amazon exclusive model that comes with just one pint. The model with two pint jars is on sale too, but its $40 more, making it cheaper to buy extra containers separately. The two-pint model is also direct from Ninja.Cosori Electric Gooseneck Kettle for $50 ($20 off, see price in cart): This is a return to a discount we've seen multiple times this year, and it's about $14 more than the all-time low. But this kettle has earned its spot on one of our editors tiny countertops. It has different built-in temperature settings for different types of drinks and an elegant gooseneck pour. Also at Amazon.Anova Culinary Sous Vide 3.0 for $99 ($100 off): This is the best overall sous vide machine, according to testing for our buyers guide and this price beats the one from July. We like the easy digital controls and the high flow rate that maintains water temperature better. Also the companion app is stuffed with recipes. It's $120 at Best Buy and directly from Anova.Ninja DZ401 Foodi 10-quart air fryer for $130 ($100 off): What if you want to air fry two different foods at once? Go for our recommendation for a dual-zone air fryer. Its best for larger kitchens and big meals and takes up a commensurate amount of space. It went as low as $150 for Cyber Monday last year.Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon for $160 ($40 off with Prime): Our own Sam Rutherford admitted that $200 is a ridiculous price for a pepper mill (and this $160 Cyber Monday price is not much saner). But in his writeup, he details how the Pepper Cannon has become one of his favorite kitchen tools in such a way that makes me strongly consider it, ridiculous or not.Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-best-cyber-monday-kitchen-deals-will-save-you-up-to-41-percent-on-ninja-breville-kitchenaid-fellow-and-more-184142267.html?src=rss0 Comments ·0 Shares ·103 Views

Cyber Monday gaming deals for 2024: The best sales for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox and PCwww.engadget.comWhile many of Cyber Monday's better deals are leftovers from Black Friday, it's still a good time to restock on video games and gaming gear on the cheap. If youre looking to pad out your backlog, pick up a new console or refresh your desktop with new peripherals, weve rounded up a bunch of Cyber Monday gaming deals that aren't total junk below.Weve dug through reviews and used price history trackers to ensure each offer below is a genuine deal. As of this writing, the selection still includes a ton of popular Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC games for their lowest prices to date, $75 off PS5 consoles and several discounts on accessories weve tested and recommended.PlayStation 5 (slim) for $424 at Amazon ($76 off MSRP): This isnt the absolute biggest price drop to date for Sonys console, but larger discounts have been extremely uncommon over the past year. This bundle throws in a few Fortniteskins and V-Bucks; if it runs out of stock, the standalone console is available for the same price. Walmart and Best Buy, meanwhile, have separate bundles that pair the machine with the recent RPG Dragon Age: The Veilguard or one of EAs sports games for $450. Also available at Best Buy, Target, GameStop and PlayStation Direct, among others.PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (slim) + NBA 2K25 bundle for $374 at GameStop ($76 off): If you have no interest in buying physical media, you can save an extra $50 upfront by going with the PS5s disc-less model. This bundle comes with the latest NBA 2K game as a freebie. If it runs out of stock, you can grab the same Fortnite bundle noted above for the same price. The console alone is $75 off as well. Its a good price either way, though its difficult to get too excited given that the Digital Edition once sold for $400 before this slim revision launched with a $50 price hike. Also at Target, Amazon, Best Buy and PlayStation Direct, among others.Xbox Series X All-Digital for $375 at Best Buy ($75 off): Though we've seen the standard version of Microsoft's higher-end Xbox go for less, this is the best price to date for the newer all-white model without a disc drive. Whether any Xbox is a must-have is another question, as Microsoft has put less and less emphasis on exclusives. You also need to be sure you can live without physical media in this case. But if youre sold on Xbox Game Pass or just have friends who use the platform, the Series X is still a nice piece of kit. Also at Walmart and Target for $400.Xbox Series S (512GB) for $250 at Xbox ($50 off): The entry-level Xbox has had a difficult time keeping up with the technical demands of some new games, and the 512GB of storage in this model can run out fast. That said, it still has value for casual players or Game Pass subscribers who dont care about high frame rates and just want a cheap way to play the latest stuff. This $50 drop isnt an all-time low, but it makes the console a bit more palatable. Just remember theres no disc drive. Also at Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon and Target.PlayStation VR2 + Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle for $349 at Amazon ($251 off): To be candid, its difficult to widely recommend the PlayStation VR2: The hardware is excellent, but Sony's software support has been weak. Like the Meta Quest, you can use the headset on PC with an optional adapter, but some reviewers have said that getting that to actually work can be a hassle. So, were mostly noting this deal for posterity. But if you do have cash to burn and want to dive into games like Gran Turismo 7, Tetris Effect or the Horizon spin-off bundled here, this deal matches the lowest price weve seen. If the bundle goes out of stock, the standalone headset is on sale for the same price. Also at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop and PlayStation Direct, among others.The ASUS ROG Ally X.Photo by Sam Rutherford / EngadgetASUS ROG Ally X for $700 at Best Buy ($100 off): The ROG Ally X is the top Windows pick in our guide to the best gaming handhelds. Its better-equipped to handle recent AAA fare than the Steam Deck, and its 120Hz VRR display does wonders to keep those games looking smooth. Windows itself remains something of a UI tire fire on handheld devices, but it does give you the flexibility to play games from any PC client. This $100 drop isnt massive but nevertheless ties the handhelds all-time low.Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for $150 at Retroid ($49 off): The Pocket 4 Pro is the best under $200 pick in our gaming handhelds guide. Its an Android device primarily aimed at emulating retro games, so it takes some legwork to get the most out of it. If youre willing to tinker, though, it can run many games up to the PlayStation 2 and GameCube range fairly comfortably, which is rare at this price. Its responsive buttons and bright 4.7-inch display are nice, too, though you might want to grab Retroids grip add-on to make it a little more comfortable. Retroid recently launched the bigger and slightly more powerful Pocket 5 which were currently testing but this is a strong value for about $70 less. This discount is a new low. A few lower-power Retroid handhelds are on sale as well.The Retroid Pocket 4 Pro.Photo by Jeff Dunn / EngadgetPlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller for $54 at Amazon ($21 off): While Sonys official PS5 controller has sold for less in the past, steeper discounts have been fairly uncommon over the past year, so this is an decent time to stock up if you need a spare. The offer applies to several different color options, though a few are priced $5 higher than the others. Also at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, PlayStation Direct and others.Xbox Wireless Controller for $35 at Lenovo ($25 off): This is another deal weve seen in the past, but its a decent $10 or so off the Xbox pads typical street price. Use the code BFCMXBOX at checkout to see the final price. Also at Amazon, Best Buy, Target and others for $40, with other colorways available for $45 or $50. Just remember that each one requires a pair of AA batteries or a separate pack for power.PlayStation Plus 12-month membership for 30 percent off at PlayStation: Sonys online service became a worse deal with last years sizable price hikes, but its still required if you want to play PS5 games online or use cloud saves. This years holiday deal is geared more toward upgrading than saving on your current plan, annoyingly, but those just signing up can grab an annual membership for 30 percent off. That brings the standard Essential tier down to $64. If youve been thinking of stepping up from the base service to the higher Extra or Premium tiers, you can take 25 or 30 percent off the usual cost of that upgrade. You can check Sonys overview page for a refresher on what perks are included with each tier.Astro Bot for $50 at Walmart ($10 off): The wonderfully inventive 3D platformer Astro Bot is the closest thing the PS5 has to a modern Super Mario game, even if it is a bit too reverential to the PlayStation brand. Engadget Senior Editor Jessica Conditt called it nothing less than one of the best games Sony has ever made in her review. The game was briefly available for $43 at Amazon, but this is the best price we've seen otherwise. Also at PlayStation, Best Buy, Target and others.Elden Ring for $20 at Bandai Namco ($40 off): There isnt much we can say about Elden Ring that hasnt already been said. Its world runs almost unfathomably deep and feels lived-in (died-in) in a way few games ever have. Its both haunting and darkly funny (hello, Ordina). It is unafraid to test your resolve and make its quest matter, yet it grants you the freedom to simply walk in a different direction and find new paths forward. Its great, and this deal brings it down to the best price weve tracked. Also at Amazon and Walmart, though stock has been spotty. If you want to double up with the games Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, a copy that comes with that DLC is on sale for $52.Metaphor: ReFantazio for $50 at Amazon ($20 off): Its about as subtle as youd expect a game named Metaphor to be, but the latest from the minds behind Persona 5 is a fantasy JRPG through and through: bombastic, stylish and deeply earnest. (And long.) This deal is a new low. Also at PlayStation and Xbox for $2 more.Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for $40 at Amazon ($30 off): Engadget UK Bureau Chief Mat Smith gave this grandiose action-RPG a favorable review earlier this year, and its one of the years highest-rated games overall. You need to have played its predecessor and, ideally, the original PS1 game to really get where its going, but its absolutely stuffed with things to do (for better and worse), and its combat system is still a rush. This is a new low for the PS5 exclusive. Also at Best Buy, or PlayStation for $2 more.Helldivers 2 for $30 at GameStop ($10 off): The co-op shooter Helldivers 2 straddles the line between Starship Troopers satire and genuinely rousing, strategically engaging action. You could do much worse if you want a multiplayer game you can hop in and out of at your leisure. This deal matches the lowest price weve seen for the PS5 copy. Also at Amazon, Target and Best Buy, or at PlayStation for $2 more.Marvels Spider-Man 2 for $30 at Walmart ($40 off, in and out of stock): Spider-Man 2 is essentially more Spider-Man, but bigger. It might not be the most creatively daring thing, then, but leaping from skyscrapers and stylishly beating the tar out of bad guys remains a joy, and none of it is overly self-serious. This discount is another new low. If Walmarts listing goes out of stock, Target, Best Buy and PlayStation have it on sale for $40, which is the second-best price weve seen.The Last of Us Part I for $30 at Target ($40 off): The PS5 version of Naughty Dogs tense zombie drama may be the most unnecessary remake ever made, but if youve never given it a try, its still the best way to jump in. This deal is a new low, and it comes as part of a wider suite of discounts on first-party PS5 games, including Gran Turismo 7, Returnal, God of War Ragnark, Demons Souls and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for $30 a pop. Also at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop and others.Dragons Dogma 2 for $40 at Target ($30 off): Another one of the years highest-rated RPGs, Dragons Dogma 2 is unusually opaque and unforgiving for a major-studio release, but it owns that. If you can deal with some jank and hate the glut of self-serious hand-holdy adventures thatve come out in recent years, it should be worth the occasional frustration. Dont bother if you didnt like the first one, though. This the biggest discount to date for the PS5 and Xbox versions. Also at Amazon, or at Xbox for $2 more.The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $30 at Walmart ($40 off): Its story may run in place at times, but Tears of the Kingdom remains a prime example of an open-world game done right. Its world doesnt kowtow to the player at every turn, and its delightful contraption-building mechanics provide a similar sense of freedom in solving puzzles. This discount is a new low, though as of this writing it only applies to a digital copy.Super Mario RPG for $38 at Best Buy ($12 off): The lively and brisk Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars remains one of the Super Nintendos essential games. It didnt necessarily need a Switch remake, but it got one last year anyway. Thankfully, the new version keeps the originals oddball spirit in tact as it spruces up the visuals for true 3D. The game fell to $32 last week, but if youre in the market for a lighter RPG, this is the second-largest discount we've tracked.Portal: Companion Collection for $5 at Nintendo ($15 off): Portal and Portal 2 are two of the most fully actualized games ever made, a pair of human-lab-rat simulators overloaded with wit and mind-opening puzzles. The second is also one of our favorite couch co-op games. This discount ties the lowest price weve seen for the Companion Collection, which bundles both games for the Switch, and it comes as part of a wider range of digital game deals at Nintendos online store.Mass Effect Legendary Edition for $5 at Steam ($55 off): The Mass Effect trilogy doesnt hold up perfectly the original is very much a game from 2007, while the overarching morality system feels ancient in a post-Baldurs Gate 3 world but it remains as accessible and deeply entertaining as any action-RPG series out there. The Legendary Edition remasters all three titles, and this discount brings the compilation down to its lowest price to date. Also at Epic.Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon for $20 at Bandai Namco ($40 off): Armored Core VI is a big loud action game about building a mech and using it to blow up everything in sight. It rules. Yet its not mindless: Its many boss fights are genuine duels, and its deeply flexible in how it lets you tweak your death machine to tackle stages in different ways. This price is another new low. Also at GameStop.Unicorn Overlord for $30 at Best Buy ($30 off): Unicorn Overlords story leans a little too hard on RPG tropes, but its gorgeous, and its battle system should satisfy those who pine for classic Fire Emblem or (especially) Ogre Battle games from yesteryear. Engadget Senior Writer Sam Rutherford called it a must-play for tactics fans in his review. This discount is the largest weve seen for the PS5 and Xbox editions, and it ties the all-time low for the Switch copy. Also at Amazon and GameStop.Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol.1 for $19 at Amazon ($21 off): Few games take the responsibility of entertaining you as seriously as the Metal Gear series; even fewer have as clear of a voice and point of view. The Master Collection may not go as far as it should in updating the landmark stealth games for modern consoles, but if youve yet to give them a try, you really ought to take the ride. This deal comes within $1 of the lowest price weve tracked for the Switch copy.Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for $40 at GameStop ($20 off): The moody action-RPG Cyberpunk 2077 started as a technical disaster, but years of patches have ultimately left it in a healthy place, one that lets it more easily lean on its surprisingly pointed narrative and dirty-techno-future art style. This is a new low for the games Ultimate Edition, which includes last years well-regarded Phantom Liberty expansion.Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth for $25 at Amazon ($45 off): Infinite Wealth is the kind of goofy, playful and wholly excessive RPG thats come to define the series formerly known as Yakuza. It can border on too much, and youll need to have played past entries to get the most out of it, but its turn-based combat is fun, and its more endearing than obnoxious in the end. This discount ties the best price weve seen for the next-gen versions of the game.Halo: The Master Chief Collection for $10 at Xbox ($30 off): This matches the all-time low for The Master Chief Collection, which gathers five of the venerable FPS series essential games in one package. It also includes Halo 4 (we kid). Also at Steam.Pentiment for $10 at Xbox ($10 off): Pentiment remains one of the Xboxs true gems, a gorgeous and unusually soulful 2D adventure/visual novel that examines the nature of truth itself. This deal for the Xbox version represents an all-time low. Several other digital Xbox games are on sale as part of Microsofts Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale.Psychonauts 2 for $6 at Steam ($48 off): Another entry on our list of the best Xbox games, Psychonauts 2 is a distinctly eccentric, wonderfully written 3D platformer that tackles heavy themes with real warmth. This is another all-time low. Also available for $12 at Xbox and PlayStation.Tekken 8 for $30 at Amazon ($20 off): Tekken 8 may not be the most accessible fighting game to complete beginners, but its far from impenetrable, and its battles can be thrilling once you start plumbing the mechanics of its many characters. Best of all, two of those characters are big goofy bears. This is the lowest price yet for the PS5 and Xbox versions of the game. Also at Walmart, Target and others.Madden NFL 25 for $30 at Amazon ($40 off): Madden could pretty badly use a creative reset, but its ultimately still Madden, so theres fun to be had if youre in the football mood and feel like denying Patrick Mahomes a championship in at least one realm of existence. This is the best price to date for this years latest installment. Also at Walmart, or at PlayStation, Xbox and Steam for $5 more.EA Sports FC 25 for $30 at Amazon ($35 off): Were not going to sit here and tell you the series formerly known as FIFA is good AI defending is still a mess, and the Ultimate Team mode still blends grinding with gambling to mind-numbing effect but we realize that many people just want to mess around as their favorite footy team. This is a new low for the PS5, PS4 and Xbox editions. Also at Walmart, or at PlayStation, Xbox and Steam for $5 more. The Switch version is down to $30, too, though it wont run as well.WWE 2K24 for $25 at Amazon ($10 off): We acknowledge that this is $1 off the best-ever price for the physical PS5 and Xbox copies of the latest WWE game, which should scratch the itch for most people looking to do some fantasy booking and digital powerbombing. Just dont be surprised if you run into a few bugs every now and then; this is a 2K game, after all. Also at Walmart, Target and Best Buy, for $23 at Xbox, and for $20 at Steam. The last-gen versions are on sale for a few bucks less as well.NBA 2K25 for $30 at Walmart ($40 off): NBA 2K has its own longstanding issues with pay-to-win online modes and occasional glitchiness, but its on-court play is generally rock solid if youre looking to play through a season or run some offline games with friends. This is a new low for the PS5 and Xbox copies of the game. Also at Target, Best Buy and Amazon. Nintendo has the Switch edition for $3 less, though that version is generally slower and more watered-down than the others.WD Black C50 Expansion Card for Xbox (1TB) for $99 at Amazon ($59 off): Its aggravating, but the only way to fully increase the storage of an Xbox Series X/S is to use a proprietary expansion card. Only two of those currently exist, but the C50 is one, and this discount drops the 1TB model to a new low. Its normally sold for about $40 more in recent months. Is this still expensive compared to a normal SSD with the same capacity? You bet. But any extra savings should be welcome. A 512GB model is a couple bucks above its all-time low at $67 as well. Also at B&H and Best Buy.Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Xbox Series X/S (2TB) for $200 at Amazon ($160 off): Seagate makes the other official storage expansion card for the Xbox Series X/S. This discount isnt the best weve ever seen, and its been live for most of the month, but its still roughly $35 below the 2TB models typical street price. Theres little performance difference between this and the C50, so which is best merely comes down to how much space you need and whatever one costs less.Crucial P310 (1TB) M.2 2230 SSD for $70 at Amazon ($102 off): The P310 is a small-size SSD you can slot into handheld PCs like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally. It uses cheaper QLC memory, not the faster and more durable TLC, but other reviews suggest that it still performs well for what it is. This is a new low for the 1TB model. The 2TB version is down to its best price yet at $140 as well. Also at B&H.Backbone One mobile game controller for $70 at Amazon ($30 off): The Backbone One is a nifty mobile gamepad that makes playing console-style games on your phone feel a little more natural. This matches the lowest price weve tracked for the second-gen model. Both the USB-C and Lightning versions are discounted. Note that the PlayStation-branded version officially supports Sonys Remote Play app on both Android and iOS, while the standard model only supports it with the latter. Also at Backbone, Walmart and Best Buy.8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller for $48 at Best Buy ($12 off): Weve raved about this wireless gamepad for Switch and PC in the past. Its on the small side, but its comfortable, and its durable Hall effect joysticks should avoid the drift sensation that plagues many modern controllers. This discount isnt the absolute lowest price weve seen, but its a solid $12 off the devices typical street price. If you dont need Bluetooth support, a version that only connects over a USB dongle and uses Xbox-style face buttons (instead of Switch-style ones) is on sale for $40.Turtle Beach Atlas Air wireless gaming headset for $135 at Amazon ($45 off): The Atlas Air is our pick for the best gaming headset. Its one of the few wireless pairs with an open-back design, which helps it create a wider, airier and more natural sound than most of its competition. Its exceptionally comfortable on top of that, though it lets in and leaks noise fairly easily, so you should only buy it if you normally play in a quiet environment. This deal marks the headsets all-time low. Also at Best Buy.Astro A40 TR gaming headset for $90 at Amazon ($40 off): The A40 TR is our favorite wired gaming headset. Its not quite as comfy or spacious-sounding as the Turtle Beach Atlas Air, our top overall pick, but its open-back design still makes games sound like theyre happening all around you instead of feeling confined in your head. Just know that it wont block much outside noise, and its mic isnt the best. Also at B&H.HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 gaming headset for $30 at Amazon ($20 off): The Cloud Stinger 2 is the budget pick in our gaming headset guide. Its comfortable, with a solid mic and full-bodied bass, though you shouldnt expect a particularly accurate sound or exceptional build quality. This deal ties the headsets all-time low. Also at Target and Best Buy.Keychron Q3 Max mechanical keyboard for $182 at Keychron ($32 off): The Keychron Q Max is the top pick in our guide to the best mechanical keyboards, pairing an upscale (if heavy) aluminum case with a lovely typing experience and extensive customizability. This is the lowest price weve seen for the tenkeyless model, but other size layouts are similarly discounted. Also at Amazon for $6 more, but only for Prime members.Keychron V3 Max mechanical keyboard for $87 at Amazon ($22 off, Prime only): The V Max is our favorite mechanical keyboard in the $100 range. It has a plastic frame and suffers a bit more from rattling in the larger keys but otherwise carries most of the same perks as the Q Max line. This Prime-exclusive deal marks the best price weve tracked for the tenkeyless model, but other size options are 20 percent off too. Also at Keychron.Keychron C3 Pro mechanical keyboard for $22 at Amazon ($15 off, Prime only): If you want to pay as little as possible for a decent mechanical keyboard, the C3 Pro is the budget pick in our buying guide. Its keycaps are a bit slick, but its typing feel and sound are still levels above the membrane boards you usually find in this price range. This is a new low for the model with Keychron's linear Red switches. Be aware that this version isnt hot-swappable and only has a red backlight; if youre willing to pay extra, a more customizable version with RGB lighting is also on sale for $33.The Keychron C3 Pro.Photo by Jeff Dunn / EngadgetRazer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse for $40 at Amazon ($30 off): We recommend the Basilisk V3 in our gaming mouse buying guide for those who dont mind using a cable and prefer a more ergonomic right-handed shape. Weve seen this discount several times before, but it matches the devices all-time low. Note that Razer released an revised version with an improved sensor a few months ago, but that one costs $40 more, and its not a massive upgrade in practice. Also at Target, Best Buy and others.Corsair Scimitar Elite Wireless MMO gaming mouse for $89 at Amazon ($40 off): The Scimitar Elite is a wireless variant of the top MMO pick in our gaming mouse buying guide. It has 12 customizable side buttons, which make it easier to pull off strings of actions in complex titles like Final Fantasy XIV or World of Warcraft. This is best price weve seen outside of a brief dip to $80 back in June. Also at Best Buy.ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) gaming laptop for $1,650 at Best Buy ($350 off): The 14-inch ROG Zephyrus G14 is the top pick in our guide to the best gaming laptops. We gave it a score of 91 in our review this past April, praising its aluminum and (relatively) understated chassis, beautiful 120Hz OLED display and sufficient port selection. It can get toasty under load, and we wish the RAM was user-upgradeable, but this config can handle more demanding fare at high settings and the screens native 2.8K resolution without much trouble. It comes with a Ryzen 9 8945HS chip, 32GB of memory, a 1TB SSD and an RTX 4070 GPU. You may not want to completely max out certain games, but you can still get over 60 fps much of the time. In general, youd buy this because it gets that level of power from a design thats more portable and elegant than most gaming machines. Outside of one drop to $1,600 back in July, this ties the best price weve seen.ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) gaming laptop for $1,615 at Amazon ($285 off): While not a top pick in any of our guides, this configuration of the ROG Strix G16 should be a solid value for those in search of a 16-inch all-rounder gaming notebook. It includes an Intel Core i9-14900X chip, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, which should be enough to run many games at high-ish settings without much hassle. The overall build doesnt feel cheap, and the 2,560 x 1,600 240Hz display is both sharp and fast. The RAM and storage are user-upgradeable, too, though the battery life and 720p webcam arent ideal. This deal matches an all-time low. Another model with a 1080p panel, a Core i7-13650HX chip and a RTX 4060 GPU is on sale for a low of $1,100, but youll have to turn down game settings more frequently to get decent frame rates with that one.The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14.Photo by Sam Rutherford/EngadgetLG 32GS95UE 32-inch gaming monitor for $950 at Amazon ($450 off): This is the no-compromise pick in our guide to the best gaming monitors. Its a premium OLED panel with a sharp 4K resolution and a fast 240Hz refresh rate, though it can jump to a super-smooth 480Hz if you drop to 1080p (and own a PC that can handle that). Thats great if you spend a decent chunk of time in esports-style games like Counter-Strike 2. Being an OLED monitor gives it excellent contrast with deep black tones, though its not quite as vivid as the handful of QD-OLED monitors that use quantum dots to boost colors. Still, its well worth a look if you have cash to burn and know youll use the dual refresh rate modes. This deal is a new low. A similar model with a white finish is also on sale for $50 more.MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 27-inch gaming monitor for $500 at Newegg ($200 off): This is within $20 of the lowest price weve seen for MSIs QD-OLED monitor, which blends the high contrast and inky blacks typical of OLED displays with color-enhancing quantum dots. It has a 1440p resolution and 240Hz refresh rate, which should be sufficient for most, though like many OLEDs itll look better in dim lighting than a bright room. Also at Best Buy.MSI MPG 321URX 32-inch gaming monitor for $875 at B&H ($75 off): The MPG 321URX (gesundheit) is a larger high-end monitor with a gorgeous QD-OLED panel, a 4K resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate. It also includes a KVM switch and a USB-C port that can deliver up to 90W of charging power. Its definitely not cheap, but at its current deal price it undercuts its handful of competitors by a fair amount. MSI briefly had it for less than $800 last week, but this is still a decent chunk off its usual street price.ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM 32-inch gaming monitor for $1,000 at B&H ($300 off, backordered): If the MSI 321URX runs out of stock, the PG32UCDM is an excellent alternative with a similar list of features. Some reviewers we trust say it can get brighter than rival monitors with similar specs, plus it supports the popular Dolby Vision HDR format. It's certainly not cheap, but this discount still represents a new low. Also at Amazon and Best Buy.Cyber Monday gaming deals that are no longer availableValve Steam Deck (LCD, 512GB) for $337 at Steam ($112 off): The Steam Deck tops our guide to the best gaming handhelds. Its SteamOS software is much simpler to pick up and use than Windows, and it's still powerful enough to play loads of games that just cant run on devices like the Switch. That said, its starting to have trouble keeping up with the most graphically demanding titles, and the design has always been rather chunky. This deal matches the lowest price to date for the version with an LCD display and 512GB of storage. The OLED model (not on sale) is better across the board, but this is a fantastic value if you can't pay the extra $200. The discount comes as part of Steam's Autumn Sale, which includes many of the game deals we highlight below.Meta Quest 3S (128GB) + $100 Target digital gift card for $300 at Target ($100 off): Meta only released the Quest 3S last month, so while this isnt a cash discount, any sort of bonus is worth noting. The device itself is the budget pick in our guide to the best VR headsets: Its older Fresnel lenses certainly arent class-leading, but theyre good enough for those new to VR, and the whole thing is just as fast and comfortable as the pricier Quest 3. Most importantly, it can play the same wide array of apps and games. Amazon previously had a similar offer, but that appears to be out of stock.Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for $50 at Walmart ($20 off): Nintendos Pro Controller is far more comfortable to hold and satisfying to press than the standard Joy-Cons, so its a fine buy if you mainly keep your Switch docked up to a TV. Its 40-hour battery life is great, too, though fighting game and Tetris diehards will likely find its d-pad too imprecise. This discount matches the lowest price weve seen in the last couple of years.Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers for $60 at Walmart ($20 off): Between their beady buttons, lack of analog triggers and longstanding drift issues, the Joy-Cons are far from Nintendos finest product. Still, theyre the Switchs default controllers. If you need to restock, this is about as cheap as theyve been in recent years.Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite MMO gaming mouse for $50 at Amazon ($30 off): The Scimitar RGB Elite is the top MMO pick in our gaming mouse guide. This deal comes within a couple bucks of the lowest price we've seen.Alienware M18 R2 gaming laptop for $2,300 at Dell ($500 off): The M18 R2 is an iteration of the top 18-inch pick in our gaming laptop buying guide. Its an absolute tank, but its put together well, and this configuration can blow through new games at high settings in 1080p or 1440p. It comes with a 165Hz 2,560 x 1,600 panel, an Intel Core i9-14900HX chip, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. This deal is $100 more than the price we saw on Black Friday but is still a good ways off the notebook's usual going rate. A lower-spec model is on sale for $1,700, though that one will run into issues sooner with more demanding games.Check out all of the latest Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals here.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/cyber-monday-gaming-deals-for-2024-the-best-sales-for-playstation-5-nintendo-switch-xbox-and-pc-180738558.html?src=rss0 Comments ·0 Shares ·102 Views
