Spoilers follow for IT: Welcome to Derry Episodes 1-7.
Episode 7 of IT: Welcome to Derry introduced us to Bob Gray, a character briefly glimpsed in the movie IT Chapter Two but one who is of great interest to fans of Stephen King’s creation. Essentially, Bob Gray is the original, human Pennywise, whose form It began to favor taking to hunt the children of Derry. Now Welcome to Derry is finally telling his story.
Andy Muschietti, who directed the IT movies and developed Welcome to Derry with his sister/producing partner Barbara Muschietti and co-showrunner Jason Fuchs, told me that the goal of the show was always to dig into the “big enigmas” that are presented in the Stephen King book. He felt that King intentionally created an incomplete puzzle, with cryptic characters and events that lent themselves to being further explored. And chief among them was the character of Bob Gray, aka the man who would become Pennywise.
“Bob Gray, the man behind the clown,” said Andy. “[He’s] an absolute mystery. It's mentioned a couple of times [in the book], but never is there really a fleshing out of the story.”
Barbara points out that the mystery of this character was a big part of what brought the show into existence, and it all came from the conversations that Andy and Pennywise actor Bill Skarsgård had during production of IT Chapter Two in 2018.
“Bill did a very small flashback into Bob Gray and loved it,” she recalled. “So they started talking about exploring that. And when the pandemic came, Andy's like, ‘Let's start talking about that!’”
With the development time the pandemic allowed, the Muschiettis and Skarsgård started to really dig in on what Bob Gray’s story might be, as it has never been fleshed out by Stephen King. Yes, we know about Pennywise’s cosmic origins, but the dancing clown? Not so much. Until now.
“It's more like an incarnation of Bob Gray [in IT Chapter Two], it's an IT incarnation, so you can see the evil behind,” said Andy. “But who was Bob Gray really? It all started there. And then delving deeper into it, I went back into all the interludes and all the catastrophic events that are depicted in every one of the cycles. And I saw a story there, a hidden story that was worth telling. And of course there was a lot of invention, which was part of the excitement of it. It's like, OK, we're going to fill the gaps, put all the pieces of the puzzle that are missing.”
The approach then was to figure out who the human character was. For starters, the writers and producers knew they didn’t want him to be some kind of a psychopath. And they wanted to find the humanity of the character.
“It's shrouded in a bit of darkness and ominousness,” said Andy. “But we presented him as someone that was benign, that was basically someone that life didn't work very well for. He has a daughter and he wants to do well. And then when Bill finally came in, we started really granularly exploring the character and he said, ‘All this is good, but I don't think we should do such a wholesome thing.’ And that's where alcoholism appeared, the grumpiness. And so it's very nuanced. You see a character that is taking swigs from a flask in between when the curtains fall. And there's a reason for that. The reason is the death of his wife.”
This is the backstory that was created for the character by Muschietti, Skarsgård, and the show’s writers, and which we get a true feel for in Episode 7.
“Bob Gray was a big clown in a big circus,” explains Andy. “One day he lost his wife and that sort of pushed him into a down-spiraling hole where he became an alcoholic. He was fired from the circus, rehired sometime later into a small traveling circus, and we have this scene where he's basically talking to his daughter and he reminisces about the good old times. And even though he's in bad shape right now, because he's an alcoholic, he has hope. And Ingrid, his little daughter, is what keeps the hope alive for him.”
Of course, Ingrid is Ingrid Kersh, aka Periwinkle (another invention of Welcome to Derry’s), the adult version of whom is played by Madeleine Stowe. And certainly her dad’s disappearance after his run-in with IT leads her life to a not-great place, to say the least. But that’s a different story.
The Muschiettis told me that when they started putting the story together for the show, they had much more than they could possibly include in just one season. And so a three-season plan was hatched, as the writers had to take chunks of story out and save them for future seasons.
“It's a bigger story that goes across the two following seasons,” Andy explained. “It talks more about the reason of IT, what is IT, what does IT want, and why is IT in this plane of existence? But also, it's a glimpse into the bigger mythology that looms on the other side. The thing with the book is that it's told from the perspective of our human characters very much. There's only like two or three moments that, through the Maturin root or the Smoke-Hole, we access other planes of reality, but it's very sparse. It's just very, very contained, but it does really connect to other works of Stephen King, mainly The Dark Tower. And there's so much about the turtle, Maturin. That is one of those things that people who love these movies, they really are into Maturin. So basically across the two more seasons, we're going to explore the bigger mythology.”
The final episode of IT: Welcome to Derry Season 1 will debut on HBO Max at 6pm PT/9pm ET on Sunday, December 14. Tell them Bob Gray sent you!
Ah, AI. A word that a lot avoid like the plague. A word that can make a lot of players boycot the games that use such tools, just like they do with games that use Denuvo. And you know what? To a point, I can understand it. YouTube has been bombarded with fake AI videos. … Continue reading This AI Remake of The Witcher 3 Will Leave You Speechless →

As I wrote in my PC Performance Analysis a few months ago, Borderlands 4 had serious performance problems when it launched on PC. The game was poorly optimized and had many technical issues. Now, in December 2025, a big new PC update has been released, and it promises to fix many of those problems. Going … Continue reading Borderlands 4 Gets a Major Performance Update on PC →

Razer is offering a great deal on its best gaming chair for the holidays. Only at Razer.com, you can get the flagship Razer Iskur V2 gaming chair for just $399.99 with free delivery . That's $250 off its usual $650 retail price. This is a more premium product than both the Razer Iskur X and the Razer Enki.
We like the Razer Iskur V2 here at IGN. It made it into our 2025 gaming chair buying guide. We also reviewed it earlier this year and gave it a 9/10 rating. This is a premium chair through and through, featuring a durable steel frame with aluminum wheelbase, high-performance PU leather upholstery, an extra wide seat that covers heights up to 6'2" and decked out in dual density foam, and an included ultra-soft memory foam head pillow.
There's plenty of adjustability here too. Your customization options include 6D adjustable lumbar, 4D armrests, and 152 degrees of recline alongside more standard features like height and tilt adjust.

Audible's new Harry Potter full-cast audiobook series is already receiving its second entry. This new form of the Harry Potter books kicked off just last month with a unique interpretation of The Sorcerer's Stone, and you'll soon be able to listen to the second book starting on December 16.
If you're curious about this series, you can currently grab a free 30-day trial of Audible directly from Amazon to listen at no cost. Audible is also still running a deal that gets you three months of the service for only $0.99 until December 16. I had the chance to listen to the full audiobook for The Sorcerer's Stone when it released in November and genuinely loved it. At just over eight hours, I though it was a unique experience that landed somewhere between reading the books and watching the films. I'll definitely be listening to The Chamber of Secrets as soon as it comes out.
Audible has already announced release dates for the full line-up of these audiobooks. All seven of the books in the series will be getting the full-cast treatment with new releases every month from now until May 2026.
The official Harry Potter website released a full list of voice actors we know about after the first audiobook. More cast announcements are on their way for the second book, but here's the core list of names we know so far:
As you may have noticed, the voice actors for Harry, Ron, and Hermione are the same for the first three books and then shift to new people. This is due to Audible launching all of these audiobooks within the span of seven months rather than over years of time. We don't yet know what these character's voices will sound like in the jump between The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire, but we can assume that they will be more mature.

Looking for a cheap (under $20) item that's sure to be a hit for your tech-savvy giftee? Then check out this really run STEM toy for both kids and adults, now on sale at a pretty deep discount. Amazon is currently offering Amazon Prime members the Syma S107H-E RC Helicoptor for just $19.88 after you apply coupon code "N5NYAFZR". According to camelcamelcamel, the price has hovered consistently around $50 for most of the year. Everything you need to get off the ground is included, including the remote control and rechargeable batteries.
The S107H-E RC Helicoptor is easy to use, even if you've never flown RC choppers before. The helicopter itself is small, lightweight, with a sturdy metal alloy body that's built to withstand rough landings, bumps, and even crashes.
The remote is deceptively simple with just two joysticks. The left joystick controls throttle and yaw (up/down, left/right while holding in place). The right joystick controls pitch (forward and back). Beginner-friendy features include one button takeoff and landing, an "altitude hold" feature that keeps the chopper at a constant height, and two speeds.
The chopper can last about 8 to 10 minutes before needing to recharge. You don't need to remove the batteries, simply plug the included USB cable into the body of the chopper. Keep in mind that this chopper is mostly for indoor use; it's so lightweight that it wouldn't be able to cope with any kind of wind if you try it outside.

The Lord of the Rings has maintained its cultural significance since the 1950s through books, movies, and now television, expanding a fandom that stretches across generations, which makes it an excellent starting point as you shop for the One Gift in 2025. Now that the holidays are almost here, a good LotR gift idea could be just what you need to bring some Middle-earth flavored joy into the equation.
There’s no shortage of options for the Lord of the Rings fans in your life, so we’ve narrowed down the best gifts across different areas of interest, from must-have movie and book sets to collectibles of all kinds. There's a little something for everyone here.
Our top pick for Lord of the Rings readers is this gorgeous 1,248-page compilation of the full trilogy featuring 30 maps and sketches illustrated by Tolkien himself. With unique cover art and red-sprayed edges, this edition of Tolkien’s fantasy saga is an eye-catching addition to any bookshelf that holds within it one of the greatest and most beloved works of fantasy.
You can also pick up the massive Deluxe Illustrated editions of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion, all of which have reduced prices at Amazon. We've also included a couple of popular book sets as well and other coffee table books worth adding to your collection below. These are some of our overall favorite gifts for readers in general, so definitely worth considering.
Our top pick is a fairly new release that came out last December. This collection bundles the theatrical and extended cuts of all three Lord of the Rings movies with faux-leather packaging and a high-quality replica of the One Ring engraved with the same Elvish text seen in the book/movies: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
If you'd rather pick up each trilogy separately, you can do so in their own 4K collection. You can also pick up War of the Rohirrim, the most recent animated film as well. There are a lot of different LotR Blu-rays available, but we've found that the box sets make for the best overall gifts and are usually less expensive than buying individually.
The LEGO Balrog Book Nook set is great for fans of the books looking to give their bookshelves an extra flair, and the size of this set pair nicely with the Deluxe Illustrated Editoins of Tolkien's collected works. We built the set earlier this year, and highly recommend it for both LEGO fans and avid readers. It's one of the best LEGO gifts of 2025.
One of the other awesome Lord of the Rings LEGO sets we recommend is a majestic depiction of the Elven settlement Rivendell, complete with 15 minifigures and movable models of key locations like Frodo’s bedroom and the Council of Elrond. The 6,167-piece set is sure to keep its new owner busy well into the season. Kevin Wong, LEGO fanatic and builder, said the LEGO set is "an epic tribute to Fellowship" froom his LEGO build guide from earlier this year. And finally, more recently LEGO released a Shire set that is also quite delightful and about half the price of Rivendell.
Our top pick is the perfect gift for experienced board game players. War of the Ring is an expertly crafted, fairly advanced strategy game for 2–4 people that pits the armies of the Free Peoples against those of the Shadows in a battle for Middle-earth.
Outside of that game there are actually quite a few other Lord of the Rings tabletop options available. If you're looking for a re-skinned version of a classic, you can pick up LotR Monopoly or even a themed chess set. Tolkien's world makes for a really cool chess set if you don't mind spending a bit of money to snag one.
The Lord of the Rings starter kit provides two gifts in one: the cards themselves and the ability to immediately jump into the game with two ready-to-play, 60-card decks. It’s a great value at $20, and it’s our top pick for those looking to learn the ins and outs of MtG with a friend. Be sure to also see the best Magic the Gathering gift list which also includes these LOTR highlights!
There are a lot of great jigsaw puzzles for adults out there, but Lord of the Rings puzzles are some of the most enticing. J.R.R. Tolkien's world has been expanded beyond well beyond the movies and books all kinds of merchandise, so it shouldn't be too surprising that there are some enticing jigsaw options worthy of gifting as well.
We've featured the theory11 puzzle because it has the same look and feel of illustrated Lord of the Rings books. It's a cool design that is worthy of hanging on the wall when you're done. But there are plenty of other Lord of the Rings puzzles where that came from, including 3D builds that are a much cheaper LEGO alternative.
There are a lot of great jigsaw puzzles for adults out there. If anything, there are way too many options to choose from. Because of this, it can sometimes help to narrow down your search to a specific franchise you love and then start looking for options within that. You can never go wrong with a puzzle depicting one of your favorite stories or characters, and the end result can sometimes even be display worthy.
One such franchise that has some great puzzle options is The Lord of the Rings. J.R.R. Tolkien's world has been expanded beyond books to be portrayed in movies, video games, and even LEGO sets, so it shouldn't be too surprising that there are some enticing jigsaw options too. I've found seven of the best best Lord of the Rings puzzles that are available online right now. All of these would make for a great gift for any adult LotR fan in your life.
If you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings movies like I am, then this Return of the King puzzle is an excellent option. It features main characters and scenes from the final film in the trilogy and has a nice border around the whole thing. You've got Frodo struggling to drop the ring into the fires of Mount Doom, Gandalf in the heat of battle, and Aragorn accepting his rightful role as king. What more could you need?
This puzzle was also made by Ravensburger, which is one of the best overall puzzle brands out there. Every piece is unique and fits together perfectly. If you like the idea of a movie-themed puzzle, there are actually quite a few movie poster puzzles available I'd recommend you check out. We also have a pretty substantial guide for the Lord of the Rings movies on Blu-ray that's worth checking out if you don't already own the films.
The main reason this theory11 puzzle is featured here is because it just flat out looks awesome. The design of this 1,000-piece puzzle has a similar look and feel to some of the original illustrations from J.R.R Tolkien himself. The green and gold colors also go really well together with the illustrated style.
If you like the look and feel of illustrated Lord of the Rings books, you'll like how this puzzle comes together. It's a great option if you are looking for something to frame and display once it's completed. This brand also has some really cool Harry Potter puzzles if you're interested in more like this from a different franchise.
Although the standard jigsaw puzzles on this list are all great options, there's a growing market of model kits for adults out there that bring puzzles into 3D space. This particular puzzle kit from 4D Build features the massive tower of Sauron in all its glory. Unlike many other model kits, it doesn't require any glue or tools to put together.
With a total of 204 pieces that come in 14 sheets, this is also an excellent LEGO alternative to the massive Barad-Dur LEGO set because it's less than $40. It's one of our most recommended 3D puzzle kits out of any franchise.
Another great option for anyone looking for a puzzle worthy of displaying somewhere is this 1,000-piece map of Middle Earth. The map features prominent locations from the story with the Shire as a focal point. Since this is the map from the Hobbit, it doesn't include every location in Middle Earth, but it is the overall best Lord of the Rings map puzzle I've been able to find. You can always browse the interactive map online if you want to see where Mordor and Gondor are located.
While I prefer the challenge of a good 1,000- or 2,000-piece puzzle, not everyone likes digging through a mountain of pieces to complete a picture. This simple 100-piece puzzle is a great option for beginners or casual puzzlers who just want something easy to put together in an afternoon. The image itself depicts a lovely Hobbit home in New Zealand and it's an actual destination you can visit!
This last puzzle is my top pick for anyone looking for an alternative to movie posters. This is essentially all three movie posters from the trilogy on top of a map, but in puzzle form. So you'll be able to piece together the image and then have something worth hanging on your wall. This is an awesome gift for any Lord of the Rings fan who loves the movies and puzzles.
Technically, there is an official Lord of the Rings book nook you can buy, but it's actually a LEGO set. The LEGO version is a recreation of Gandalf taking on the Balrog in that epic "You shall not pass" moment from the books and movies. But that LEGO set will cost you $130. If you're interested in the idea of building an LotR book nook of your own that won't destroy your budget, I recommend checking out this knock-off version on Amazon. It comes complete with a ring, and nice little scene, and LED lighting. If you ignore the fact that it says 'Spirit Valley of Magic Rings' on the side then you're golden.
There are actually a ton of cool book nook puzzle kits out there, but none of them are licensed to specific IP in the same way other puzzles are.
If you're fairly new to puzzles or are looking to purchase one as a gift for someone else, there are a few things you'll need to consider before you buy, even for Lord of the Rings puzzles.
You can determine how difficult a jigsaw puzzle will be based on a few factors. The first and most obvious question to ask is how many pieces is it? A 100-piece puzzle is more ideal for kids or beginners, a 500-piece puzzle is great for intermediate puzzlers, and a 5,000-piece puzzle is a true undertaking. If you want a relaxing puzzle you can do in an afternoon or with a young kid, you should stick to 300 pieces or less.
Another important thing to consider is how much room it's going to take up. Even smaller puzzles can be pretty big and if you don't have room for it on your table, it's going to be hard (or even impossible) to put together. This is especially true for larger puzzles that will take days to complete; the table where you eat meals might not be its ideal home if it's going to take up the whole thing. This is where a decent puzzle board or mat can really make a difference.
The last thing to consider is the actual image itself. Obviously you want to choose a puzzle of something you like, but you should also consider the composition of the image itself – certain qualities will make the puzzle more of a headache to put together than others. Do the colors blend together? Is there a lot of empty space? Puzzles with more unique elements will be easier to put together than something with a bunch of clear blue sky, for example.
In many cases it's fun to just put a puzzle together and then pack it back into a box for later. But if you're looking for a more permanent situation for your finished puzzle, you'll want to think about that ahead of time. If you are planning on putting it on your wall or framing it, then you'll want to pick up a puzzle that works well for that. Map puzzles are a great option for displaying as well as 3D puzzles that are more akin to a model kit.

Holiday shoppers, there's still time. We're still in that peak window where you can reliably get your orders delivered before Christmas, often with free shipping. If you've missed out on the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals bonanza, don't fret. You still have opportunities to pick up some amazin gifts for the holidays and save a ton of money while you're at it. There are plenty of great deals on popular tech products like gaming handhelds, AirPods, video games, and more. In fact, most of these prices are lower than what I saw during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
The Xbox Ally was released just two months ago, with the AMD Ryzen Z2 A model retailing for $599.99. Just for the holiday season, Walmart has docked it down to $489 after a nearly 20% off instant discount. The Xbox Ally is based on the ROG Ally platform but with Microsoft's collaboration. Alongside the new Ryzen Z2 A CPU is a 7" 1080p panel with 120Hz refresh rate, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. This gaming handheld runs off Windows 11 with Xbox integration.
You don't need to overpay for a lightweight gaming mouse. The Attack Shark X11 costs about $30-$40 on Amazon, which is already pretty cheap. However, you can get it for way less than that directly from the manufacturer. Attack Shark's official AliExpress storefront currently has it for a mere $13.47. It ships free from a local US warehouse, so you don't need to worry about long shipping times or hidden tariff fees. The Attack Mouse X11 weighs only 63 grams and has 2.4GHz WiFi, Bluetooth, and wired connectivity options. It even comes with a charging base!
Amazon just kicked off an excellent VR gaming deal for the holiday season. It's offering $100 in bonus Amazon digital credit when you purchase a Meta Quest 3 VR headset for $499.99 and apply coupon code "QUEST30". Order it now and you'll receive it before Christmas, even with the free shipping option for non-Prime members. The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset and is a significant upgrade compared to its cheaper Quest 3S sibling.
Heads up: AirPods Pro 3 earbuds just got a new price cut that beats all previous deals, including Black Friday. Amazon and Walmart have once again lowered the price of the Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds, this time dropping it down to $199. That's $20 lower than the Black Friday sale price, and a big drop compared to the retail price of $249. This would make a fantastic (albeit extremely generous) gift for any iOS user, even if that person already has an older generation AirPods Pro. The upgrades are more than just incremental this time around.
Looking for a cheap (under $20) item that's sure to be a hit for your tech-savvy giftee? Then check out this really run STEM toy for both kids and adults, now on sale at a pretty deep discount. Amazon is currently offering Amazon Prime members the Syma S107H-E RC Helicoptor for just $19.88 after you apply coupon code "N5NYAFZR". According to camelcamelcamel, the price has hovered consistently around $50 for most of the year. Everything you need to get off the ground is included, including the remote control and rechargeable batteries.
Nintendo and LEGO fans rejoice, because one of our favorite sets just got a major discount ahead of the holidays. Amazon has lowered the price of the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426 to just $35.99 after a 40% off instant discount. This happens to just barely clear the free shipping threshold for non-Prime members. The 18+ rating means that this set is relatively challenging, but I've built this one myself and I think it's a great set for builders of all ages. It would make a pretty amazing gift for the holidays and, unlike many new LEGO sets, won't cost an arm and a leg.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 came out just a month ago and already there is an absolutely huge discount on it for the holiday season. Best Buy has the PlayStation Cross-Gen bundle, which includes both the PS4 edition and the enhanced PS5 edition, for just $39.99. Better yet, it even comes with a steelbook. Love it or hate it, BO7 is still one of the bigger releases of 2025. Seth Macy found the multiplayer component to be enjoyable, according to his review of the game.
If you're planning to gift someone an Xbox or PC gaming controller for the holidays, then look no further than the official Xbox wireless controller. The Electric Volt colorway is down to $39.99 with free delivery at Amazon (it's normally $65). Not only is this one of the best Xbox controllers at this price point, it's also one of the best PC gaming controllers.
Steelseries direct is currently offering PC gamers an outstanding deal on its top rated gaming headset. Right now you can pick up a blemished box SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro wireless gaming headset for just $239.39 after coupon code "FROST10". Free delivery on your order as well. This is the lowest price I've seen for this headset, which is especially impressive now since SteelSeries recently raised the prices on its headsets as a response to the tariffs. Blemished box just means the packaging is slightly damaged, but the product itself is in perfect condition and has the same 1 year warranty.
The recently released Apple Watch Series 11 just dropped to a price that's lower than the best deal I saw during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Amazon currently has several models available for just $299, or $100 off the retail price. This beats the Cyber Monday price by $30, making this the new lowest price I've seen. An Apple Watch would make a worthwhile upgrade for yourself if you're still rocking an Apple Watch 8 or older, or a great gift idea for any iPhone user.
Keeping a tidy desk doesn't have to be labor intensive or expensive. Compressed air canisters used to be the standard but nowadays there is a better way. Most electric air dusters under $50 on Amazon are pretty much identical, so I'd recommend just getting whichever one is least expensive.
For Black Friday, Amazon is offering the JVSCAM Cordless Rechargeable Electric Air Duster (Air Blower) for just $19.98 after coupon code "U6C8Z5P7". Although I've seen this deal in the past, it is usually reserved only for Amazon Prime members. During Black Friday, it's available for everyone.
Walmart is offering a great deal on a wonderful gift idea for anyone who is constantly fiddling with small electronics, building PCs, or modding consoles and controllers. Right now you can get the Fantik S1 Ace 3.7V Precision Cordless Screwdriver for just $21.99. Walmart states the list price is $100, but I've generally seen it closer to $50. Nevertheless, this is still a great deal on a versatile product.
Razer just dropped the price on its highest end gaming chair. The Razer Iskur V2 is normally priced at $649.99, but right now you can pick it up for $399.99 with free delivery. This is a more premium product than the Iskur X because it has 6D lumbar (vs fixed lumbar), 4D armrests (vs 2D), high-performance PU leather upholstery, and included memory foam head pillow.
Follow these instructions for the extra $50 off:
During Black Friday, Dell lowered the price of its venerable 34" Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED gaming monitor from $900 to just $499.99 shipped. That was a new historical price low, but today there's a way to get it for even less - $449.99 to be exact. It does require a bit of legwork to get the extra discount, but everyone should be eligible. The AW3423DWF is one of Alienware's highest end gaming monitors, with a gorgeous QD OLED panel, WQHD resolution, and a respectable 165Hz refresh rate. Alienware OLED monitors also include a 3 year warranty that includes OLED burn-in protection.
It's smart to have a light source on hand for emergencies, especially since everyday carry flashlights can be had for a throwaway price. Just in time for the holidays, Aliexpress is offering a great deal on two powerful Sofirn flashlights. These are popular amongst the enthusiast flashlight community. They're much more expensive if you bought them from Amazon, so why not save over 50% off by getting it direct from Sofirn's official AliExpress storefront. They ship free from a local US warehouse, which means no hidden tariffs or obnoxious shipping times. These would make a pretty great, and extremely practical, gift for the holidays, since they'll arrive before Christmas.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but Sonos has decided to continue the deals extravaganza with a new Cyber Sale. For this week only, you can score some new discounts on select certified refurbished soundbars, speakers, and subs. Sonos refurbished products come like new, in pristine packaging with all the original accessories. They even come with the same one year warranty as a brand new product.
Bambu is widely considered one of the premier 3D printer brands. The Bambu P1S printer is one of its most popular models and it went on sale for Black Friday, but sold out relatively quickly. Fortunately, it's back in time for the holiday season.
Best Buy has the Bambu P1S Combo 3D Printer with Automatic Material System for multi-color printing for just $549.99 after a $200 off instant discount. This printer was $899 when it first launched, but prices have been steadily dropping since then. This was one of the best 3D printer deals I saw during Black Friday and I'm glad it's back.
