The 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is the first 57" Dual 4K UHD monitor on the market, boasting an eye-watering 7680x2160 resolution, or the equivalent of two 4K UHD monitors stacked next to each other. Despite the display being so large, you're treated to a pixel density of 140ppi. To put that into perspective, it's as sharp as a 32" 4K monitor. Wow.

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

The Samsung Neo G9 isn't a one trick pony, and all the other specs live up to what we'd expect from a top-end gaming monitor. The display boasts an aggressive 1000R curve that practically hugs you as you play games. Curved panels are useless with small monitors but extremely helpful with super-wide ones. It also features a 1ms response time and 240Hz refresh rate. It is HDR1000 certified, which means that it can maintain peak brightness up to 1,000nits. It's explicitly FreeSync Premium Pro certified (although it will probably also work in G-Sync compatibility mode).

Obviously the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn't a monitor for everyone. You need a rather generous gaming budget. Also, not all games support this resolution and aspect ratio. Some games will have letterboxing to compensate. Finally, gaming at dual 4K UHD resolution is extremely GPU intensive. Make sure you have a good graphics card that can handle the load. We'd recommend something no less powerful than an RTX 4070 Ti.

Apple's top-rated earbuds have been discounted by over 35% for Black Friday. Both Amazon and Best Buy have dropped the price of the Apple AirPods Pro to $153.99.

This deal makes the AirPods Pro even more affordable than the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation. Despite the lower price, the AirPods Pro deliver superior sound quality and noise cancellation. For most people, they remain the better overall choice.

Amazon has also dropped the price of many Apple iPad models for Black Friday, but the current best deal is on the newest Apple iPad. Right now, the 10th gen Apple iPad is down to $249.99 after clipping the extra $29.01 voucher.

Tips for Shopping Amazon Black Friday Deals

Just so you know, this article will be updated throughout the Black Friday sale, so be sure to bookmark it to check back in. Otherwise, consider following @IGNDeals on Twitter or Bluesky for immediate updates on the best deals this year.

With Black Friday getting closer, it's a good time to start planning your shopping in earnest. Here are a few Black Friday tips that you should be considering ahead of the event:

1. Set a Budget – Keeping track of how much money you can actually spend is important to avoid overspending. When everything is on sale, it can be easy to buy more than you really should just because things are at their lowest price of the year.
2. Create a Shopping List – Knowing exactly what you're trying to find discounts on is a great way to avoid making unnecessary purchases. It can also make it easier for you to compare prices between retailers or set price drop alerts ahead of time.
3. Compare Prices – Although Amazon tends to automatically price match most things, it's still good to compare prices to other retailers before you buy. You can also use the website CamelCamelCamel to compare current prices against Amazon's historical pricing.
4. Find Unbiased Reviews – Amazon reviews have gotten somewhat better in recent years, but you should still do research outside of the site before making a decision. Seek out unbiased reviews on expensive purchases before you buy. IGN's Tech reviews, for example, are a great place to look.
5. Be Wary of Sponsored Products – Search results in Amazon include sponsored sales that may not be what you're looking for. Look for the little 'sponsored' tag before you click. You may want to scroll past those.
6. Make Sure to Clip Coupons – One of the easiest ways to save money on Amazon that many folks seem to miss is the clipping of coupons. There are a ton of coupons available for Prime Members, and all you need to do is check a box on the product page for additional savings.

"Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special."

Nintendo has rolled out a standout Black Friday deal for 2024, offering the Switch OLED bundle at $275 and the standard Switch bundle at $225. Both bundles include a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 12-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription, marking them one of the best Black Friday deals available in 2024.

Even with the anticipated Switch 2 expected next year, this deal is likely to be extremely popular. Together, the bundles represent a $155 saving compared to buying each item separately. The inclusion of a full year of NSO membership is also a notable upgrade from past bundles, which typically featured just three months of Nintendo Switch Online.

Black Friday is a perfect time to pick up any Nintendo Switch controllers you could use, because they pretty much all go on sale for the lowest prices of the year. That goes for both Joy-Con controllers and standard Pro-style controllers.

Thankfully, Black Friday sales make storage upgrades much more affordable. A 1TB microSD card is now available for $57.99, while a 512GB card can be picked up for just $32.99, offering ample space for games, DLC, and updates. Portable gaming needs are also covered, with one of the best power banks on the market dropping to its lowest price ever at $77.99. Additionally, Switch Pro controllers are now just $49.99, making this Black Friday an excellent time to grab essential accessories at significant discounts.

Free In-Store Upcoming Switch Events

Nintendo is also organizing in-person demo events at Target, Best Buy, and GameStop, giving players a chance to try upcoming games and participate in giveaways.

• Dec. 7: Best Buy Family Fun Day will offer hands-on demos for games like Mario & Luigi: Brothership, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Just Dance 2025.
• Dec. 14: GameStop will host demos for the same lineup.

What About Switch 2? The Current State of the Nintendo Switch

Nintendo also shared more about sales of the current Switch and its software, including that it was cutting the sales projection of its current hardware for the financial year ending March 2025 from 13.5 million units to 12.5 million units.

Nintendo had a 17% revenue drop and a 69% profit drop versus the same quarter from its last financial year, and it sold 4.72 million Switch units in the six months ending September 30. That latter figure is down from the 6.84 million units sold during the same period last year.

On the software side from April to September 2024, Nintendo said The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sales have reached 2.58 million, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's have jumped up 2.31 million, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's have climbed to 1.94 million, and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD's have scared to 1.57 million.

Nintendo has confirmed that the yet-to-be-announced Switch 2 will be backward-compatible with original Switch games and will feature Nintendo Switch Online.

Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared the news during the company's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, revealing a bit more about the successor to 2017's Nintendo Switch.

"This is Furukawa," Nintendo wrote on X/Twitter. "At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well. Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date."

We have a ton left to learn about this new Switch as we are still waiting for its actual announcement, which Nintendo has previously said will happen by the end of March 2025.

One of our favorite gaming chairs is included in Amazon's Black Friday sales. The Razer Enki X can tilt from 90 to 160 degrees, and the seat can adjust in height from 17.7-21.6". It's got built-in lumbar support, which is going to come in handy for longer gaming sessions at your desk. It sports a mixture of faux leather and fabric so it breathes well, too.

What Gaming Chair Expert, Chris Coke, Said in His Review of the Razer Enki: "The Razer Enki surprised me with how comfortable it is. At $399, it’s premium-priced but offers the kind of all-day comfort, seamless style, and premium build gamers demand. Its lumbar doesn’t quite match the Secretlab Titan Evo, but it remains a comfortable sit over entire workdays and beyond."

2. Best Office Chair Deal: FlexiSpot Ergonomic Chair for $150

In our review of the higher-end FlexiSpot C7, Bill Loguidice said, "The FlexiSpot C7 is a solid chair. For the price, however, I would have preferred a more premium-feeling leather or leather-like material instead of fabric, as well as more attention to some other aspects like cushioning. I also found the fact that you can't lock the wrist rests in place an occasional annoyance. If you don't mind some of its quirks and prize adjustment in a chair, then the C7 makes a good choice. Compared to straight-up gaming chairs, its sedate styling means it won't be out of place in even the most conservative of office environments. If you'd like a flashier or more luxurious offering, however, look elsewhere."

The chair currently on sale is substantially less expensive, meaning you'll get that same "office" look and general build and comfort, just without the dedicated lumbar section.

Premium Ergonomic Picks:

This Secretlab NeueChair is ergonomic and the bottom and back are made of mesh, very similar to the Herman Miller Aeron chair I use. While it is certainly more expensive than the other options, I have found chairs like this to be the pinnacle of comfort, even as I work long 12-hour days at my desk. While my eyes may get tired from staring at screens, my posterior never complains. It's kinda wild, but certainly worth highlighting, particularly because I know I'll never buy another type of chair for myself ever again.

3. Best Rocking Chair Deal: Tufted Floor Rocker for $120

Back in the day, most of the "chilling in front of the TV" crowd piled onto beanbag chairs. While those are still certainly around and have made a big comeback, the floor rocker has become a modern rival in the gaming space, giving you the benefit of back support and a higher vantage point while you game from the comfort of your living room. If you want to keep yourself rocking for a very affordable price, this is a great choice for console gamers who want something different than their couch.

4. Best Ergonomic Chair Deal Under $500: Branch Verve

This Branch Verve chair is a top pick for a mid-tier budget. It is built for comfort and long hours at a desk PC gaming six points of adjustment, including seat height and depth, armrest height, lumbar height, tilt and tilt lock, and tilt tension, so you'll have options to customize it. Branch has branded itself as "made to last," so if you want to buy a chair that gives you the ability to work for a full day comfortably and for years to come, look no further.

5. Best Gaming Chair Deal Under $100: Homall

If you want a much less expensive take on the "classic gaming chair" aesthetic, the Homall gaming chair is a solid pick. It comes with a lumbar pillow, two-tone color scheme, and racer chair wings to keep you locked in during gaming sessions and working sessions. If the lower price tag makes you sceptical, know this model is backed by thousands of good reviews (4.3 average on Amazon) and is considered the classic gaming chair.

6. Best Premium Gaming Chair Deal: Secretlab Titan Evo for $519

Secretlab's Black Friday sale is a go! Secretlab is one of the premier gaming chair manufacturers, and the company usually participates in big sales events. Black Friday is no exception, and Secretlab has a broad spectrum of really nice gaming chairs discounted, including the Titan series – our favorite gaming chairs. There are also deals on Secretlab gaming desks to check out too, if you're in need of an upgrade.

In our 9/10 Secretlab Titan Evo Review, Chris Coke said: "The Secretlab Titan Evo is the first gaming chair in years that really feels like an evolution of the formula while still keeping the stylish racing-seat look. It may be expensive, but the benefits in all-day comfort are well worth the added cost."

Walmart has a killer deal on this RGB gaming desk right now for just $60. You can't beat that.

Premium Gaming Desk Option: Secretlab Magnus for $549

In IGN's 9/10 Secretlab Magnus Desk Review, Nic Vargus wrote: "I can’t remember the last time a company forayed into a new category with a product as opinionated and confident as the Magnus. It’s minimalistic and stylish, the magnetic ecosystem is far more than a gimmick, and it has an RGB system that succeeds in feeling gamer-y without feeling niche. But best of all, the rear hinge and cord management is nothing short of a revelation. While height constraints and questions around accessory durability remain, the Magnus is more than a promising start."

The 10th gen Apple iPad is all the way down to $249.99 exclusively on Amazon. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers nearly all the benefits of the iOS operating system and snappy performance at an affordable price. This model has significant improvements over its predecessor. For starters, it boasts a larger 10.9" screen without adding to the overall dimensions thanks to a slimmer bezel. It also has a faster A14 Bionic chip, which is a 20% increase in CPU performance and 10% increase in GPU performance over the A13. It's now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard so you can convert it into a mini laptop for better workflow (making it one of the best iPads for students). Other upgrades include the transition to a USB Type-C port, a better camera, and the Wi-Fi 6 protocol.

If you want to get a brand new iPad for the lowest price possible, then this is it. 9th gen Apple iPad is a fully featured and capable tablet. The 10.2" Retina display is bright and crisp, and the Apple A13 Bionic chip offers good CPU and GPU performance. The iPad is also equipped with both a front-facing camera for voice chat and rear camera for taking photos and videos. This is a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service.

The 2024 iPad Pro is the best tablet, iOS or otherwise, thanks to the new M4 processor which is both powerful and power efficient. Amazon has dropped the prices by up to $200 and I don't think the price will drop any further. In our iPad Pro M4 review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote, "For creative professionals, the 2024 iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet on the market and is going to shine if your work revolves around a touchscreen. For the rest of us, though, the iPad Pro is simply the most beautiful display you'll find in a tablet, with hardware that's powerful enough to be a top-end device for years to come."

Compared to the previous generation iPad M2, the new M4 chip boosts performance across the board by about 20%. However, the biggest update of the iPad Pro is actually the newer processor, but instead the tandem OLED panel which hadn't previously been seen on an Apple product. Tandem OLED is better than traditional OLED in two ways: (1) it's far brighter and (2) it's less prone to burn-in. If you're wondering why this technology hasn't found its way into TVs, the answer is simply because it's not cost effective. The iPad can get away with it because the display is much smaller, but that's also why the iPad Pro is priced much higher than the other iPads in Apple's 2024 lineup.

The 2024 iPad Air is nearly as powerful as the iPad Pro but at a much lower price point. It comes in two sizes, an 11" display with 2360-by-1640 (264ppi) resolution and a 13" display with 2732x2048 (264ppi) resolution. The display is superior to the one found on the standard iPad model with more premium features like P3 wide color, True Tone, and an ultra-low reflectivity film that helps combat glare and direct sunlight. Upgrades over the previous gen iPad Air include an M2 chip that's 15% faster in CPU performance and 25% faster in GPU performance over the M1, compatibility with the Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, and adoption of newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 6E and USB Type-C.

We chose the iPad Air as our best iPad of 2024 because it’s the ideal tablet for both casual and professional use -- from watching videos, listening to music, drawing with the Apple Pencil to getting some work done with the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio or Apple Magic Keyboard.

Update: Note that the price of this iPad Mini dropped to as low as $399.99 for Black Friday. I'd suggest you wait and see if the price drops back down again.

The 2024 iPad Mini is now only $399.99 $459, again exclusively at Amazon (make sure you clip the coupon code on the product page). This is a pretty huge discount, considering the fact that it was released just over a month ago on October 23. The iPad Mini may be the most diminutive tablet of the bunch, but that doesn't mean it's hindered in any way. This is the most compact and portable iPad measuring 7.7" long, 5.3" wide, and only 0.25" thin, but still manages to pack in a gorgeous 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. This new generation improves upon its predecessor, with a more powerful A17 Pro processor, double the base storage capacity, an updated faster Wi-Fi 6e protocol, a USB Type-C port that offers faster charging, compatibility with the newer Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C), and upcoming support for Apple Intelligence.

Update: Note that the price of this iPad Mini dropped to as low as $299.99 for Black Friday. I'd suggest you wait and see if the price drops back down again.

Don't discount the older iPad Mini just yet. Even with the release of the new iPad Mini, the 6th gen iPad Mini has plenty of power and features under the hood that keep it up to date. As part of Target's Black Friday Sale, you can get it for $299.99 $349, making it an attractive buy. Like its successor, the 6th gen iPad Mini boasts an 8.3" Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 Wide Color, and ultra-low reflectivity. It's powered by an Apple A15 Bionic processor, which is still superior to the A14 Bionic found on the 10 generation iPad. It's also equipped with a USB Type-C port for supports the Apple Pencil 2 Apple Pencil (USB-C) for better workflow.

Update: This deal is expired, but I expect it to return on Black Friday.

The 5th generation iPad Air M1 tablet is down to $359.99 exclusively at Target. You'll need to be logged into your Target Circle account (which is free to join) and the discount will be automatically applied in your shopping cart. Although this isn't the newest iPad Air model, it's still a very relevant tablet in 2024. It features the same 10.9" 2360x1640 Retina display with True Tone and P3 wide color found in the newer iPad Air, it's updated with USB Type-C, and the Apple M1 chip is more powerful than the A14 Bionic chip in the newest iPad and the A17 Pro in the newest iPad Mini.

The Quest 3S is an improvement over the original Quest 2 in every way and, amazingly, without a price increase. It adopts many of the same features of the Quest 3, like the new Touch controllers, the upgraded SnapDragon APU, and full color AR passthrough. In IGN's 9/10 Quest 3S review, Gabriel Moss wrote that "raw processing power, full-color passthrough, and snappy Touch Plus controllers make the Quest 3S a fantastic standalone VR headset that also brings entry-level mixed-reality gaming to the masses for – arguably – the very first time.

Target Has Now Matched This Deal

But with a $75 Target Gift Card

As seen in the Target Black Friday Sneak Peek, Target is matching this deal with its own bonus $75 Target gift card. If Target is your preferred shopping destination, or if you have a Target Circle credit card for the 5% stackable discount, then you should get it from here. Chances are, you can even pick it up at your nearby store for instant gratification.

Best Buy Now Has a Deal on the Meta Quest 3

Get it with a $75 Best Buy Gift Card

The Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset normally costs $499.99. However, Best Buy is throwing in a $75 gift card for Black Friday. This deal is exclusively at Best Buy for now, but I expect it to show up on Amazon as well. The Quest 3 benefitted from a $150 price drop last month to get to its current $499.99 price point. The Quest 3 is better than the 3S primarily because of the optics. The Quest 3's display boasts a higher resolution, higher FOV, and a thinner pancake lens design. It also hosts much more storage capacity.

How Is the Quest 3S Different from the Quest 3?

Even at retail price, the Quest 3S comes in at $200, or 40% cheaper than the $500 Quest 3. Obviously, some compromises were made to get the 3S to its competitive price point. The spec comparisons are listed below:

Quest 3S vs. Quest 3 Similarities

• Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
• Touch Plus controllers
• 120Hz refresh rate
• Mixed reality passthrough (same cameras, different layout)

Quest 3S vs. Quest 3 Differences

• Lower per-eye resolution (1832x1920 vs 2064×2208)
• Fresnel lens vs. pancake lens
• Lower FOV (96°/90° vs 104°/96°)
• Smaller storage capacity (128GB vs 512GB)
• Longer battery life (2.5hrs vs 2.2hrs)

In essence, the Quest 3S is nearly the same headset but with downgraded optics. On the plus side, since both headsets use the same processor, running at a lower resolution reduces the load on the APU, which could theoretically improve performance in games and also account for the increased battery life.

For the price, the Quest 3S is unquestionably a better value than the Quest 3, and a better choice for most gamers, especially if the Quest 3 was completely out of your budget in the first place. Compared to the previous generation Quest 2, the decision is even easier.

The PlayStation VR2 Is Also on Sale

Now Steam (PCVR) compatible

The PSVR2 is currently just $349 at Amazon and Best Buy after a massive $250 (40% off) discount. This is easily one of the most advanced headsets available right now and a huge upgrade from the original PSVR headset. You can also use it as a Steam-based PCVR headset by getting this PSVR2 PC adapter.

The PSVR2 is equipped with high-end hardware and features. The display consists of two 2000x2040 OLED panels with 120Hz refresh rate, 110-degree FOV, and eye tracking with foveated rendering. There's even a motor built into the visor to mimic rumble effects in the headset itself. The controllers are a huge update over its successor. Not only have they been redesigned for comfort and precision, they feature haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, precision tracking and finger touch detection. Unlike the Meta Quest 3S, however, PSVR2 is tethered, but at least it's only a single USB cable tying you down.

If you're able to play on a PlayStation 5 console, there are currently two must-own exclusives for the PSVR2, and that's Horizon: Call of the Mountain and Gran Turismo 7. Call of the Mountain is included in this bundle. Gran Turismo is currently on sale for $29.99. Either way, this is a great chance to own an excellent next-gen piece of hardware - which is now cross-compatible - for an incredible price.

The SN850X is the latest in WD's high-performance Black series M.2 SSDs, offering top-tier specs for those on PlayStation or PC. With read speeds up to 7,300MBps, write speeds of 6,600MBps, and up to 1,200K IOPS for random reads, it's significantly faster than its predecessor, the SN850.

For PS5, this doesn't matter too much, and you should focus on the decent price, and the fact is can be slotted into your console with ease. Other Black Friday SSD deals include:

The SN850X is also an excellent choice for PlayStation 5, matching Sony's official SSD specs and even exceeding their recommendations. It has the required M.2 2280 form factor, PCIe Gen4x4 interface, and more than enough speed for seamless performance. Plus, the SSD is backed by a five-year warranty.

For gaming PCs, on the other hand, WD includes Game Mode 2.0 software to optimize performance during intense sessions. A 2TB model strikes the best balance of capacity and cost for most users, providing ample space for your OS and games.

The Razor Crest 75331 consists of 6,187 pieces, which makes it the third largest Star Wars set in brick count. The resulting build is impressively large at 20" long, 29" wide, and 10" high. This is an offical Ultimate Collector Series kit and a faithful recreation of the iconic ship from The Mandalorian TV series. The detailed interior is easily accessible and features two removable engines and cockpit, two side hatches, a cargo compartment with space for the Blurrg, a weapons cabinet, a LEGO minifigure sized carbon-freezing chamber, and detachable escape pod with space for another minifig. Five minifigs are included: exclusive The Mandalorian, The Mythrol and Kuiil LEGO Star Wars minifigures, a Grogu LEGO figure in a pram, and exclususive buildable Blurrg LEGO figure.

Luke's Landspeeder is another Ultimate Collector Series set that consists of 1,890 pieces and the resulting build is impressively large at 20" long, 12" wide, and 4" high. This is a faithful recreation of Luke's X-34 Landspeeder from the original Star Wars: A New Hope movie. There are plenty of cool little details here, like the exposed engine turbine with the guts exposed, the two seater cockpit with driving stick and detailed dashboard, a large specially molded windscreen, and more. Two minifigures – Luke Skywalker with his lightsaber and electrobinoculars and C-3PO – are included. This set is a refreshing change from the largely monotone grey builds we're used to seeing in the vast majority of UCS models (not a fault of LEGO and more a product of the Star Wars universe).

The LEGO Spider-Man Daily Bugle 76178 is LEGO's third-largest Marvel set ever and includes 25 iconic mini-figures from the Spider-Man universe. This is another impressively sized build measuring 32" tall, 10" wide, and 10" deep with a brick count of 3,789 pieces. This is a four-story rendition of the famous newspaper building, including the offices of demanding editor J. Jonah Jameson and budding photographer Peter Parker. The collection of mini-figures includes Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man, Venom, Miles Morales, Spider-Ham, Green Goblin, Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, Mysterio, Sandman, Robbie Robertson, and even some characters unique to this set like Blade the vampire hunter, J. Jonah Jameson, Black Cat, Daredevil, and Punisher.

Normally these types of builds are meant for display and feature very little room for personal creativity, but the Daily Bugle is different. Characters and building design elements can be moved around so that you can recreate your own mini-stories and customize the action in and around the Daily Bugle. It complements the LEGO Avengers Tower, which is very similar in scale, although currently it's far more expensive.

LEGO Art sets are interesting because they are mostly 2D sets with 3D elements that are meant to be mounted on the wall and displayed as artwork. The Amazing Spider-Man is one such example. This is one of the larger LEGO Art sets, weighing in at 2,099 bricks (including the LEGO dots). Spider-Man is the 3D element himself. His body is a second layer above the LEGO dots, and his hands are gripping the picture "frame", quite literally breaking the fourth wall. As an homage to the comic, LEGO positioned fifteen spiders through the picture to represent issue no. 15 of Amazing Fantasy in which Spider-Man first appeared in August 1962. How cool is that?

LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 42146

I pay respects to any hardcore LEGO enthusiast who purchases this LEGO Technic set with the intent on building it. The LEGO Techno construction vehicle sets are one of the most complicated that LEGO carries, and they're definitely not for the faint of hear. This particular model consists of "only" 2,883 pieces, which seems low for the whopping $700 retail price. That's mainly because this is motorized LEGO set and includes 2 smart hubs and 6 large motorsto power the articulated functions via an app on your smartphone. This is also one of the tallest LEGO sets, measuring 38" high from top to bottom. This set goes on sale rarely and only during special events like Black Friday or Prime Day.

More LEGO Sets Are on Sale for Black Friday

Check out our guide to all of the best LEGO Black Friday deals available right now, and not just the one for adults. There are plenty of big discounts on sets for all ages from multiple retailers, including LEGO Shop, Amazon, Best Buy, and of course, Target.

PlayStation's Black Friday deals on the PS5 are now live, offering some of the best prices of the year. Both the Fortnite Cobalt Star Bundle and NBA 2K Bundle were available on Nov 23, starting at $374.99 for the Digital Edition and $424.99 for the Disc Edition, but now the deal has been removed. As this is the most significant PS5 discount we've seen in 2024, it’s likely going to return. Stay tuned.

This is one of the standout deals of Black Friday: the PSVR2 Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle is now just $350, a massive $250 discount. At this price, it matches the cost of the standalone PSVR2 in the sale, but the bundle is the clear choice—offering an excellent game to pair with your new high-performance VR headset.

This deal puts the PSVR2 in direct competition with more budget-friendly options like the Meta Quest, making it an enticing option for those looking to dive into premium virtual reality. It’s a great opportunity for newcomers to experience top-tier VR gaming at an unbeatable price.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is one of the most expensive phones out there, but you can save over 20% today at Best Buy just in time for Black Friday. On the front, you'll find a 6.2" display, similar to many Samsung phones. However, it's what's inside that makes this phone unique. As the name implies, the Z Fold 5 folds out, revealing a 7.6" screen that's perfect for games, movies, and anything else you can think of.

In our 8/10 review, Jacqueline Thomas wrote, "The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a great phone – at $1,799 it kind of has to be – but it's not without its limits. While this is about as powerful as a smartphone can be, the size and shape of the two displays can make some content a bit awkward to consume. While the crease in the middle of the main display will probably be a distraction for some people. If you can see through that and the high price tag, this is one of the best phones you can buy today, both for work and play."

Save 35% Off Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is our pick for the best smartphone of 2024, with it utilizing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to provide amazing performance for any task. The 6.8" Super AMOLED panel is excellent for both gaming and watching content, with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate supported.

We gave the device a 9/10 in our review, saying, "The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an incredible smartphone. It might look like yet another Galaxy device, but its titanium chassis and powerful processor makes this a durable gaming phone that can outrace the best of them."

Save Over 45% Off Samsung Galaxy S24 FE

The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE just released last month, but it's already on sale for only $349.99. This is an incredible deal for the value, with the FE offering many of the features you can find on the S24 Ultra. While you still have a Super AMOLED panel, the resolution of the display is only 1080p, compared to 1440p on the Ultra. Additionally, the FE only has 8GB of RAM, a smaller battery, and lower megapixel cameras.

Above all, the biggest difference between the S24 Ultra and S24 FE is the processor. While the Ultra packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the FE uses the Exynos 2400e. Don't expect the performance of the Ultra here, but you should have no problem using any games and apps. Overall, the FE is an excellent choice if you're wanting to save a lot on a great phone.

What Can You Watch on Hulu?

There is a bonkers amount of shows and movies you can watch on Hulu. Let's start at the top and simply talk about the verticals on offer with the base subscription because if we also talk about what is available via Disney+, ESPN+, or live TV, we'll be here forever. (You can also sync up Hulu with HBO to gain access to things like Succession and the new season of House of the Dragon.)

Here's what you get:

• Network and Hulu Original television shows (AMC, Adult Swim, ABC, A&E, FX, etc.)
• Movies (HBO, Hulu Originals, anime films, etc.)
• Sports (NHL, Soccer, MLB, Auto Racing, NFL, College Football, PGA, Tennis, etc.)
• News (ABC News Live, Good Morning America, World News Tonight, 20/20, The View, etc.)

Hulu TV

Hulu has some amazing shows, including many that are finished or are ongoing. For comedy, Community and New Girl are awesome for self-contained highjinks, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has a whopping 16 seasons available. What We Do in the Shadows, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Broad City, Abbott Elementary, and Drunk History; there is a ton of great stuff to get into, whether your sense of humor is edgy or not.

There are also some big originals, like The Bear, The Handmaid's Tale, and Only Murders in the Building.

As far as animated fare, there are modern adult classics like Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers, as well as Futurama, Family Guy, and King of the Hill. Anime staples like Cowboy Bebop and Trigun are available, and Hulu is one of the more reliable simulcast hubs outside of Crunchyroll for many new anime series all year long. And if you want to bring more youth-friendly fun, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Animaniacs, Adventure Time, and Curious George are just a small sample of what Hulu has available.

The Future of Hulu

Hulu isn't going anywhere. As a matter of fact, beyond it being awarded the best streaming service of 2023 by us and receiving a 9/10 in our updated Hulu review, it was bought in full by Disney in November last year and the House of Mouse has created a one-app experience for those bundling Hulu and Disney+. With an FX partnership, Hulu is also home to those shows, including the Emmy-sweeping Shogun.

Will Streaming Deals Be Better on Black Friday?

Hulu is one of the first official streaming deals, alongside Paramount+, that we have on the books for Black Friday 2024. We'll see more streaming deals announced throughout the week, but this is definitely the best deal you'll get for Hulu and Disney+, specifically. The 12-month deals are a great chance to try out a new streaming service and see if the library keeps you around.

With endless price increases and a crackdown on password sharing, I think we’re all starting to question what streaming services are worth it. Well, these Black Friday sales are offering an opportunity to sign up for new services (or ones you previously cancelled) at the lowest prices you’ll get all year. I cut back on most of my streaming subscriptions after price hikes over the summer in hopes I could get better deals, and thankfully, I was right.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

We’re in the home stretch: Black Friday falls on November 29 this year. All month long, retailers like Amazon and Target have been rolling out sales, ramping up to massive discounts on Black Friday and through the weekend into Cyber Monday. There are already some fantastic deals available on Kindle Unlimited, Audible, and all things Apple.

Luke's Landspeeder is a UCS, or Ultimate Collector Series, kit. It consists of 1,890 pieces and the resulting build is impressively large at 20" long, 12" wide, and 4" high. According to LEGO, "the LEGO Ultimate Collector Series represents the very best in collectible LEGO sets. Featuring hard to find, exclusive, and impressively-large LEGO sets, made especially with adult collectors in mind."

This is a faithful recreation of Luke's X-34 Landspeeder from the original Star Wars: A New Hope movie. There are plenty of cool little details here, like the exposed engine turbine with the guts exposed, the two seater cockpit with driving stick and detailed dashboard, a large specially molded windscreen, and more. Two minifigures – Luke Skywalker with his lightsaber and electrobinoculars and C-3PO – are included.

This is a really enjoyable build with a lot of different color coded interior components to make the build more user friendly, although it's still recommended for builders ages 18 and up. It's also a refreshing change from the largely monotone grey builds we're used to seeing in the vast majority of UCS models (not a fault of LEGO and more a product of the Star Wars universe).

The Razor Crest 75331 consists of 6,187 pieces, which makes it the third largest Star Wars set in brick count. The resulting build is impressively large at 20" long, 29" wide, and 10" high. This is an offical Ultimate Collector Series kit. The LEGO UCS models are the largest Star Wars sets that LEGO produces and with the highest brick counts. These are technically complex builds and the instruction manuals are often hundreds of pages long. This is a really fun and challenging build aimed at adult collectors rather than children.

This is a faithful recreation of the iconic ship from The Mandalorian TV series. The detailed interior is easily accessible and features two removable engines and cockpit, two side hatches, a cargo compartment with space for the Blurrg, a weapons cabinet, a LEGO minifigure sized carbon-freezing chamber, and detachable escape pod with space for another minifig. Five minifigs are included: exclusive The Mandalorian, The Mythrol and Kuiil LEGO Star Wars minifigures, a Grogu LEGO figure in a pram, and exclususive buildable Blurrg LEGO figure.

Although this is a complex build, the interior is made of different color-coded interior components and different steps are individually packaged in bags to make the process more user friendly. Although the Razor Crest is fully intended to be more of a display piece, it's more interactive than most other UCS sets with a lot of internal elements that you can explore even after the build is completed.

LEGO Sets Are Also on Sale for Black Friday

This deal has already sold out multiple times before Black Friday (today!), and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes again before the end of the day. Even with the rumored Switch 2 likely arriving next year, it’s worth grabbing this bundle for your kids, a friend, or yourself, but do it quickly to avoid missing out, as it’s unlikely to last much longer.

These bundles offer a $155 discount compared to purchasing everything separately at full price, making it an excellent value even with the Switch successor on the horizon. Plus, the inclusion of a 12-month NSO subscription is a step up from previous bundles, which only offered three months of online membership. Stay tuned for updates here or follow @IGNDeals on Twitter/X or Bluesky.

If you're unaware, the 12-month NSO membershup includes access to online multiplayer, cloud saves, and a growing library of classic NES, SNES, and Game Boy titles. Paired with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, these bundles provide excellent value at highly competitive prices, no matter which one you choose.

Other standout Black Friday Switch deals include The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (digital) for $30 at Walmart—a significant drop from its $70 launch price and the lowest price yet for IGN’s 2023 Game of the Year. These discounts come as speculation grows about Nintendo’s next console, commonly referred to as the Switch 2. Reports hint at a 2025 release, and backward compatibility with current Switch games and Switch Online has already been confirmed.

More Switch Black Friday Deals

The final phase of Nintendo’s Black Friday sale is now live, and these are the best deals, which aren't getting any better! To be fair, they are mostly excellent as it is.

The sale features feature discounts on popular Switch titles, including Sonic X Generations for $29.99, Super Mario Odyssey for $29.99, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for $44.99, and Balatro for $19.99.

Switch MicroSD Card Black Friday Deals

The Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED offer 32GB and 64GB of internal storage, respectively, with some of that reserved for the operating system. To put this into perspective, Tears of the Kingdom takes up 16GB, while Breath of the Wild requires about 13.5GB. Downloading both games digitally would nearly fill the original Switch's storage, making a high-capacity memory card less of a luxury and more of a necessity.

The LEGO Spider-Man Daily Bugle 76178 is an impressively sized build measuring 32" tall, 10" wide, and 10" deep with a brick count of 3,789 pieces. This is a four-story rendition of the famous newspaper building, including the offices of demanding editor J. Jonah Jameson and budding photographer Peter Parker.

The LEGO Batman Tumbler is an impressive sized set, measuring 17" long x 9" wide by 6" tall. The set includes a total of 2,049 bricks, so you're paying almost exact 10 cents per brick. This Batmobile is modeled after the burly armored Tumbler design from the Dark Knight movie trilogy. Features include an opening roof which reveals a very detailed cockpit, oversized tires, and more. Unlike most LEGO vehicle models which use Technic bricks, this one uses standard LEGO bricks and looks more organic with a more realistic overall body shape. The iconic Batman and Joker minifigs are also included.

The Batman Tumbler is set to be retired by the end of the year. That means you won't be able to get your hands on one at retail price, let alone at a discount, soon. Although I wouldn't recommend buying LEGOs as an investment, history has shown that the expert-level LEGO sets have consistently gone up in price after they are pulled off the assembly line.

The MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is a buildable 3:4 scale replica of the Xbox 360 console with a brick count total of 1,342 pieces (5.5 cents per brick). The details in this build are, frankly, incredible, and include interactive elements, lighting effects, and the coolest accessories. Here's a rundown of the biggest highlights:

• The Xbox console exterior is well represented with details like a removable hard drive, ventilation holes in the rear, text in the right places, and lighting effects. Unfortunately, there's no option to swap in a red ring of death.

• The Xbox console internals are just as faithfully reproduced as the exterior. There's a tray to pop in the supplied Xbox game disc (we'll get to this later), the motherboard, various heatsinks and doodads all connected by wires, and even a fancy little Cortana chip. It's also easy to get into the console (just press a little green button).

• The set includes an authentic looking mini Halo 3 game disc complete with a detailed Halo game box that looks just like the real thing. That's not even the best part. You can place the Halo disc into the console's internal disc tray and it will light up the Cortana chip inside. How cool is that!?!

• The Xbox controller has a removable battery pack. When you slide in the battery pack, the controller's guide button lights up. That's because the light brick is installed in the battery itself.

So why the big price drop? According to the user reviews, the fit and finish of the bricks is not as good as LEGO sets, so the build process won't go as smoothly (you might even need to whip out the Kragle). But once you're done, I'm sure you'll appreciate the incredible amount of authentic features that the designers put into this set.

GTRacing is a brand you may or may not have heard of; it sells gaming chairs and desks at budget-friendly prices on Amazon and Walmart. This particular desk is very popular at Walmart because of its value. It features a steel frame that supports up to 300 lbs and a 55"x24" MDF desktop surface that's wrapped in a water-resistant carbon-fiber patterned skin.

The desk features two cable grommets, one on either end to route your cables. There's also integrated LED accent lighting around the perimeter that can cycle through different colors and patterns.

In terms of accessories, you get a large 24"x24" mousepad, as well as an under-desk headphone hook. A one-year warranty is also included. Seriously, for $60, you can't ask for more. You could get one of the top-rated gaming desks but know you'll likely end up paying up to 10x the cost. Make sure to set your maximum budget before you decide.

Also see: This L-shaped desk is under $75 at Walmart right now

Looking for a gaming chair deal, too?

This is the cheapest option we could find for Black Friday.

Walmart has also discounted the GTRacing GT099 Series gaming chair to only $93.99 for Black Friday. This is one of the most popular budget gaming chairs at Walmart with over 2,300 reviews giving it a 4.3/5 star rating. This sub-$100 gaming chair features PU leather upholstery, an adjustable headrest and lumbar pillow, up to 160 degrees of recline with a rocker toggle, and a weight limit of 300lbs. Sure, it's not as fancy as other chairs, but it also costs a fraction of the price. If you are willing to spend a little more, you can browse the Secretlab gaming chair deals and more Black Friday gaming chair deals across brands.

More RGB bling for your gaming setup

Earlier this year, Govee launched a new line of Evangelion-themed RGB LED lights. They're based on existing Govee products that have been meticulously designed to faithfully recreate the futuristic space-mecha vibe of the Neon Genesis Evangelion anime, from the color palette, patterns, shapes, and text to custom lighting presets that you won't find on the standard models. They do cost a premium compared to Govee's non-Evangelion-themed offerings, but right now for Black Friday, they're significantly discounted. There are several designs to choose from and they all look amazing.

For a premium standing bike option in addition to Peloton, there's a deal right now on Carol Bike. The brand claims to deliver the same results as a 45-minute run in just five minutes. Pretty intriguing, even with its higher price tag. The deal on this stationary bike only lasts until Saturday, November 30.

I personally own and use the Yosuda indoor cycling bike. I wanted to find one that was easy to build, simple to use (I didn't need a screen or an app), and tracked the absolute basic metrics I wanted. I've really enjoyed this bike and think it was a good value for the price!

Top Apple Watch Deals

As Chris Reed mentions in his roundup of best Black Friday Apple Deals, the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch for iOS users. If you don't have an Apple Watch, you want to upgrade, or you are gift shopping, we've got good news for you: All three Apple Watch models – the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 10, and the Apple Watch Ultra – are all on sale right now at Amazon, Target, and Walmart.
