Justin Lin is set to direct the upcoming film adaptation of Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lin is best known for his work on a number of Fast & Furious movies, and was the director of the series from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in 2006 until Fast & Furious 6 in 2013.
It won’t mark the first time Lin has set his sights on outer space, as he also directed Star Trek Beyond in 2016 – and later returned to the Fast & Furious series to direct 2021’s F9 (in which he sent Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson into literal orbit in a 1984 Pontiac Fiero).
The Helldivers movie has been written by Gary Dauberman, the writer of several Annabelle films and The Nun – as well as the co-writer of 2017’s It and the writer of its 2019 sequel, It Chapter Two.
Heavily inspired by Paul Verhoeven’s vision for 1997 sci-fi cult classic Starship Troopers, Helldivers 2 is “the rare modern multiplayer game that does almost everything right” by boasting a ton of freedom and a smart progression system that doesn’t nickel and dime players, according to IGN’s review.
After originally arriving on PlayStation 5 and PC, Helldivers 2 also came to Xbox Series X|S in August, 2025.

Cyber Monday is hitting its twilight moment, but that hasn't stopped Lenovo from bringing back its best Black Friday gaming PC deal. Right now you can score a Lenovo Legion Tower 5 RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC for just $1,492.49 after you stack two coupons: "EXTRAFIVE" and "LENOVOHOLIDEAL".Free delivery is included. This was the lowest price for an RTX 5070 Ti prebuilt desktop when it first went on sale, and no other deal since then has been able to beat it!
Lenovo Legion RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC for $1,492.49
The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 10 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. According to the product page, the processor is equipped with a 240mm liquid cooler, which is a rare upgrade for a Legion Tower 5 series. An 850W 80Plus Gold power supply provides plenty of power for future upgrades. The case offers toolless entry and non-proprietary components.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is normally a laptop CPU
This PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU on a customized Intel HM870 mATX motherboard. The 255HX is traditionally a laptop-class CPU, and it's important to note that laptop CPUs are (permanently) soldered onto the motherboard. Unlike a desktop CPU, a laptop CPU cannot be upgraded. If you do plan on swapping the CPU for something better in the future, then you'll have to stick with a gaming PC equipped with a traditional desktop CPU. If you don't intend on swapping the CPU, then you'll get excellent desktop-level performance out of this chip.
The RTX 5070 Ti GPU has excellent 4K gaming performance
Despite the fact that the CPU is a mobile chip, the RTX 5070 Ti is a desktop-class graphics card with 16GB of RAM and 1,406 AI TOPS. Unlike the CPU, the GPU can be user upgraded.
Of all the RTX 50 series GPUs released thus far, the RTX 5070 Ti offers the best bang for your buck for 4K gaming performance. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and marginalizes the RTX 5080, which is only about 10%-15% faster but costs 33% more. Like all Blackwell cards, the RTX 5070 Ti supports DLSS 4. It also has 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM same as the RTX 5080, making it suitable for AI.

Black Friday may be behind us, but the deals bonanza isn't over just yet. If you're looking to upgrade from your outdated gaming laptop, or you want to transition from a desktop computer to a more mobile setup, there are still plenty of excellent deals to choose from for Cyber Monday. Some of these deals are better than Black Friday. I'm not sure which deals are expiring tonight and which are being extended, so if you find a laptop that's perfect for your needs, don't hesitate.
Alienware Aurora Gaming Laptop Deals
Alienware's new mainstream gaming laptop for 2025 is dubbed the "Alienware Aurora" and it replaces the previous generation's x16 and m16 series of laptops. It comes in two models: the 16 and 16X. The 16 is the more economical model, but gamers should definitely opt for the higher-end 16X model. If you're looking for build quality and performance on par with the previous generation m16, then the 16X is its spiritual successor. It features an anodized aluminum lid and base, a higher quality display, a more powerful CPU, and a GPU that isn't throttled for maximum gaming performance.
Lenovo has several strong deals, string with this Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 for $1,753.74 after you stack two coupon codes "LEGIONKRAZE" and "LENOVOHOLIDEAL" The Legion Pro 7 is Lenovo's highest end 16" gaming laptop, featuring a full metal chassis (both lid and body).

This system is also preinstalled with Windows 11 Pro instead of Home.
This Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 laptop deserves special mention because the 9955HX3D processor is the most powerful mobile gaming CPU on the market, easily besting anything that Intel has in its repertoire, thanks to AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. The rest of the specs include a 16" 2.5K 240Hz OLED display, RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
HP OMEN MAX 16 Gaming Laptop Deal (RTX 5070 Ti)
Lower than Black Friday price
HP has the OMEN MAX 16 for $1,299.99 after coupon code "STUFFING50". New for 2025, the OMEN MAX 16 is almost entirely constructed of aluminum, including both the top lid and chassis. The OMEN MAX 16 also features a new OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro design that combines vapor chamber cooling, redesigned fan configuration, and an improved thermal interface material to maximize heat transfer.
The laptop weighs in at about 6 pounds. Specs include a 16" 1920x1200 144Hz IPS display, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The laptop can be customized, and I'd recommend bump the display up to an OLED model for $150.
HP OMEN MAX 16 Gaming Laptop Deal (RTX 5080)
Lower than Black Friday price
HP has the OMEN MAX 16 for $1,799.99 after coupon code "GOBBLE100". Specs include a 16" 2.5K 240Hz IPS display, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

It features a 16" 1920x1200 165Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen AI 7 H350 processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 5060 is about 15%-20% more powerful than the RTX 4060 that it replaces and approaches the performance of the RTX 4070, especially with DLSS 4 enabled.
Walmart has the MSI Vector HX gaming laptop for $1299.00 after a $700 off discount. This is the lowest price I've seen so far for an RTX 5070 Ti equipped laptop. It weighs in at about 5.9 pounds. Specs include a 16" 2.5K 240Hz IPS display, AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, 32GB of RAM. and a 1TB SSD.
Alienware Area-51 Gaming Laptop Deals
Alienware 18 Area-51 (18")
Alienware 16 Area-51 (16")
The Area-51 is Alienware's new flagship gaming laptop for 2025. It features an anodized aluminum shell for both the lid and bottom chassis with a gorgeous iridescent finish. The frame is made of a durable and lightweight magnesium alloy. Cooling has been upgraded with generous amounts of copper and a new thermal interface material to better transfer heat away from your hottest components as well as more fans and bigger cutouts for greater airflow. Dell claims that the laptop can handle a higher power ceiling of up to 240W TDP without raising acoustics.
Design-wise, the Area 51 has a sleeker, more contoured shape compared to previous models, with rounded edges and soft corners replacing the traditional squared off design. The hinges are internally positioned so that they're near invisible. There's a transparent window on the undercarriage to show off the internal components. As befits an Alienware laptop, there's plenty of RGB illunimation, although most of it can be turned off if you want your laptop to be a bit more subtle.

Over the holiday weekend, Ayaneo announced the Next II, a Windows-based handheld gaming PC. It looks beefy, full-featured and, from here, a whole lot like an overpowered, probably very expensive Steam Deck running a worse operating system.
The Ayaneo Next II features a 9-inch, up-to 165Hz OLED display with a 2400x1504 resolution and a peak brightness of 1100 nits. The company says it's powered by an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chipset – the same powerful chip used by the Asus ROG Flow Z13 gaming laptop, which earned a 9/10 for its impressive gaming performance in IGN's review earlier this year. The Next II has an 85W thermal design power (TDP), or roughly how high its power consumption ceiling is. It's also got dual cooling fans, and a 115Wh battery – a huge gain over the original Next, which had just a 47Wh battery. It also outdoes the 80Wh capacity of the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X. Whether that translates to longer life between charges remains to be seen, though, especially with that 85W TDP.
Taking a page from Valve's book, Ayaneo put two touch pads on the front of the Next II, which the company writes "support customizable key mapping and intuitive gesture control." Otherwise, the console has two Hall effect joysticks, Hall effect triggers with two-stage trigger locks, four bumper buttons, four face buttons, and four configurable rear buttons. And there's an 8-way D-pad that looks similar to the one Microsoft uses on its Xbox Wireless Controller. It's a lot.
It sounds like Ayaneo is going hard with this handheld – nearly everything about it sounds like the company is trying to one-up every handheld on the market today. Ayaneo didn't say when the Next II is coming out or offer pricing information, but the company isn't shy about pricing premium handhelds like, well, premium handhelds (See the $1,265 starting price of the Ayaneo Next Advance).
There's no better time to find an excuse to start 3D printing your own products than during Cyber Monday sales, because that's when 3D printers drop to their lowest prices of the year. Bambu is widely considered one of the better 3D printer brands on the market, and its most popular models are all still on sale after Black Friday.
New for 2025, Best Buy has become an official reseller of Bambu Lab. As part of Best Buy's Cyber Monday Sale this year, every Bambu Lab 3D printer is on sale right now. Although Bambu Lab now ships its products from US-based warehouses if you order from them directly, I'd still recommend getting the printer from Best Buy because the return policy is much easier (simply return to your local Best Buy store) and you accrue Best Buy rewards.
Black Friday Bambu 3D Printer Deals
Not sure which 3D printer to get? Read on below for a bit of detail on each deal.
Bambu P1S Combo 3D Printer
The Bambu P1S is the best Bambu 3D printer for most people; this is Bambu's mid-range model and offers several useful premium features at a reasonable cost. It's almost entirely fully assembled out of the box and setup should take under 15 minutes. Unlike cheaper 3D printers, the P1S features a fully enclosed chamber, which is necessary to stabilize temperature and ambient conditions in order to produce more consistent results. It boasts an acceleration speed of up to 20000 mm/s² and can print a benchy in 18 minutes. A built-in camera allows you to remotely monitor the printing process.
The P1S Combo model includes the Automatic Material System or AMS. This module basically allows for multi-filament printing, which means you can use up to four different types of filament material or colors per AMS (you can daisy chain up to four AMS to manage as many as 16 different filaments). The AMS itself normally retails $350, so it's best to get it in this combo, especially if you plan on getting it anyway in the long run.
Bambu A1 Mini 3D Printer
The A1 Mini is Bambu's most affordable 3D printer, so a $50 discount is still significant. This is an excellent entry level printer for someone who's just starting out. It doesn't take up much space at all, the touchscreen interface is intuitive to use, and maintenance is designed to be quick and easy. Since this is a more compact design, the A1 Mini is ideal for smaller projects using PLA filament.
Bambu A1 3D Printer
The main difference between the A1 and the A1 Mini is the build volume; the A1 has a larger working area. There are some other benefits to the A1's larger footprint like a larger touchscreen, but functionally the two are nearly identical. The A1 Combo model includes the Automatic Material System or AMS for multi-filament printing.
Bambu H2D AMS Combo 3D Printer
If you're ready to graduate to the best of the best, than Bambu's H2D printer should be on your list of potential candidates. This printer has every feature you could ask for, like an enclosed and heated working space, a dual-nozzle system that minimizes purge waste, built-in multi-filament printing, larger build volume than the P1S, and a bigger touchscreen.

With streaming prices always on the rise, it makes sense to own your favorites outright, if you ask me. And now’s the time to grab as many as you want. In all the year, there’s no better time to stock up on physical movies and TV shows than Cyber Monday. Right now you can pick up 4K UHDs and Blu-rays on sale for all-time low prices at places like Amazon, Gruv, and Target.
A Big List of Cyber Monday 4K Deals
Here’s a loooong catalog where you can find all of the 4K and Blu-ray deals we’re highlighting in this article. For a more categorical approach to the mountain of deals, read on below.
Movies on Sale
While some newer movies are on sale for excellent prices (lookin' at you, Superman), most of the deeper discounts are on older movies. Thankfully, many of those older movies are stone-cold classics. We're talking Jurassic Park, Intersteller, Reservoir Dogs, and the like. You can bulk up your 4K movie collection right now for way cheaper than most any other time of year.
Movie Collections on Sale
If you want to top off your physical movie collection even faster than buying films one at a time, grab some of these collections. And they're not just any collections – these are some of the best movies ever made. The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 4K should be on any film buff's shelf. So should The Dark Knight trilogy. And while you're at it, you can add the Indiana Jones and Matrix movies as well.
TV Shows on Sale
Why buy two hours' worth of entertainment when you can buy a hundred hours? That's the question posed by TV shows on disc. You can binge some of these shows all week and still have seasons left to go at the end. Shows like Friends, Dragon Ball Super, and Twin Peaks are all on sale now for the lowest prices they've been all year. Grab them before Cyber Monday ends.
By now everyone's probably aware of the two Cyber Monday deals floating around for Apple's new AirPods Pro 3 wireless noise canceling earbuds. They normally retail for $249 but you can get either of these modest discounts:
But there's actually another way you can get it for significantly cheaper. Quickshipelectronics via eBay has certified open box Apple AirPods Pro 3 earbuds for just $149.99 with free delivery. "Open box" usually implies that these buds are new and unused. There's no mention of an official Apple warranty, however eBay does back this sale up with a 1 year Allstate warranty. Quickshipelectronics itself is a pretty well-known retailer of used or open box goods and its eBay account has nearly 400,00 reviews with a stellar 99.7% feedback rating.
Open Box AirPods Pro 3 Earbuds for $149.99
Update: Now you have to join a livestream to get this deal. You'll need to add a credit card for payment. Click on the little icon with the 3 dots to see all of "Buy It Now" items and scroll down to find the deal.
The AirPods Pro 3 launched on September 19, so it's just over 2 months old and you can already get it for over 30% off. Like its predecessor, this is easily the best earbuds for anyone who uses an iPhone. Although it looks pretty similar to the 2nd gen AirPods, there are some pretty significant improvements under the hood. The most notable new feature is the built-in heart rate sensing, but the AirPods Pro 3 improves in other subtle ways as well, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.
Released alongside the AirPods Pro 3 was Apple's "Live Translation", which is an Apple Intelligence feature that will translate other languages on the fly. This isn't exclusive to the AirPods Pro, however, since it can also be used with the 2nd gen AirPods Pro and the AirPods 4.

Streaming has gotten pricey, and that includes Paramount+, which is home to a lengthy list of Paramount movies as well as cartoons like South Park and SpongeBob. Thankfully, until midnight, you can get two months of any Paramount+ plan, including the ad-free Premium subscription, for $2.99 each month.
Get 2 Months of Paramount+ Without Ads for $6
It's a nice deal for the ad-supported Essential plan, normally priced at $7.99, but an even better one for the ad-free Premium plan, which normally costs $12.99. It's one of the only Cyber Monday streaming deals that applies to an ad-free subscription, even if it only lasts for a couple of months.
The other benefit of going with the Premium plan is you’ll get access to the Showtime library. I see no reason not to go with the Premium plan, as long as you remember that your plan will auto-renew at $12.99 each month after the deal ends.
What’s on Paramount+?
The new season(s) of South Park are streaming exclusively on Paramount+, so you can catch up on all of the drama happening there without scrolling through Twitter (sorry, X). It’s also the streaming home for Nickelodeon, where classic cartoons like SpongeBob, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Fairly OddParents live.
On the movie side, Paramount+ is home to big franchises like Mission Impossible, Transformers, and Star Trek, and also includes some recent additions include Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Smile 2, and Gladiator 2. With the Paramount+ Premium plan, also get access to the Showtime library, which includes otherwise hard-to-find series like Yellowjackets and Dexter: Resurrection.

With Cyber Monday deals coming to an end tonight, pretty much all of the best LEGO discounts we've seen will be coming to an end. Many of those deals have already expired as stock has run out for the more popular sets. If you're looking for LEGO Harry Potter sets, however, Target still has some great options available for pretty cheap.
Target's Cyber Monday LEGO sale ends tomorrow, so this is your last chance to pick up one of these sets for a discounted price. These are some of my most recommended Harry Potter gifts for fans of all ages and I don't expect the prices to go any lower than this before Christmas.
Target LEGO Harry Potter Sale
The selection of Harry Potter themed LEGO sets is quite vast and these discounts are only a drop in the bucket compared to what's actually available. There's even a massive multi-set Hogwarts Castle build that has been getting new releases over the years, but don't expect to find discounts on that here. These deals are all on smaller sets that are great for all ages and aren't too expensive.
My top pick from this sale is the Chomping Monster Book of Monsters. I actually had the chance to build this set myself back when it was first released this year and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It's small enough that you can put it together in a single afternoon while also detailed enough to feel like a challenge. Best of all, it actually rolls and chomps once it's all put together. I'd definitely recommend checking it out at this price.
Also included in this sale are a few other sets that are great for display or play. The Knight Bus Adventure set is a recreation of the iconic scene from The Prisoner of Azkaban complete with a little swinging chandelier inside. And a potted Mandrake set looks like it's straight out of Professor Sprout's Herbology class. You can pull it out of its pot and it will actually open its mouth as if to shriek. Either of these sets would look great on a desk or a bookshelf.
The most expensive LEGO Harry Potter set I've featured here is the Sorting Hat. It is unique compared to most LEGO builds in that it can move and talk once you fully put it together. The design has all of the wrinkles and stitches you'd expect and it comes with a single minifigure of Harry Potter from The Sorcerer's Stone. We actually had the chance to build this set ourselves and loved the final product, although we felt the process of putting everything together was overall a bit monotonous.
Throughout Black Friday and the weekend, there were quite a few worthy gaming PC deals from several retailers including HP, Lenovo, Best Buy, and Walmart. For whatever reason, these deals have either sold out or gone up in price. There's really just one retailer that still has its best deals still running for Cyber Monday, and that's Alienware. It's still not too late to score a great deal on a powerful gaming PC, but the clock is ticking.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 Gaming PC From $1,750
Even when all the other deals going on, Dell (Alienware) consistently had the lowest price on a prebuilt RTX 5080 gaming PC. You can get an Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5080 gaming PC starting at just $1,750 (it was $1,815 on Friday). This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for an extra $100. The RTX 5080 is a phenomenal card for playing the most demanding games in 4K resolution with ray tracing.
Alienware Aurora R16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming PC From $1,500
Most gamers can step down from an RTX 5080 to an RTX 5070 Ti without any noticeable performance drop in gameplay. You'll notice the cost savings, however. This base configuration is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The RTX 5070 Ti GPU was our best reviewed RTX 50 series GPU because it offers strong 4K gaming performance at a reasonable price point. It performs neck-and-neck with the RTX 4080 Super and pulls ahead in games that support DLSS 4.
Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090 Gaming PC (New) for $3,900
Dell has its flagship Alienware Area-51 gaming PC equipped with an uber powerful GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card starting at $3,899.99 after a $1,150 instant discount. The base system features a 240mm liquid cooled Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 2TB SSD. The RTX 5090 is the most powerful consumer GPU on the market. Although with this generation Nvidia has prioritized software updates, AI features, and DLSS 4 technology to improve gameplay performance, the 5090 still boasts an impressive 25%-30% uplift over the RTX 4090.

Right away, the biggest perk of IGN Plus is an ad-free experience on IGN. That means no more banner ads, pop-ups, or video ads when you read articles, check out guides, or watch trailers. Plus, this ad-free experience continues across other IGN sites. Additionally, you also get free games available monthly. If you're always on the lookout for new games to add to that ever-growing backlog, this is a great way to check out new games you might have never heard of otherwise.
For platinum trophy hunters and completionists, IGN Plus can make your life easier, too! Your membership includes access to MapGenie Pro, which allows you to check out interactive game maps and tracking tools as much as you'd like. If you're hunting down collectibles or tracking down an NPC, this can save you dozens of hours.
And for collectors, IGN Plus gives you immediate access to exclusive discounts at the IGN Store. You can save on merch, collectibles, game bundles, and more. These discounts are often significant, typically sitting at ~15%. Even the purchase of one major figure can quickly offset the cost of IGN Plus.
Overall, IGN Plus is the best way to support IGN and the content you love for years to come. It's packed with value for every gamer, whether you're a fan of IGN content, a collector, a trophy hunter, or even just a gamer. Each membership helps IGN continue to deliver high-quality articles, videos, reviews, and guides for readers all around the world.
How to Sign Up for IGN Plus
Go to IGN’s subscription page and choose a plan - monthly or yearly (annual typically gives the best value per month).
Sign up and link your account - once active, the benefits (ad-free, discounted store access, MapGenie, free games) should be available immediately.
Browse IGN as usual. Watch for monthly free games / giveaways, check MapGenie for new maps, and keep an eye on IGN Store for member-only deals.
If you’re not sure - try it for a few months. Many people find that cancelled subscriptions still return when they want those perks again.

Heart Breaker Special Edition Xbox Controller Drops to $49
Unlike the other two controllers that dropped as part of Xbox's Breaker series, the Heart Breaker really pops with splashes of bright pinks, purples, and blues. It's sure to be a lovely, colorful addition next to your Xbox console. It features a bright pink D-pad, purple sticks, and purple face buttons with pink lettering.
The Heart Breaker controller is one of a number of Xbox controllers on sale during Cyber Monday, so it's a great time to stock up. Beyond gamepads, be sure to check out the other Xbox deals still available as this holiday sales period winds down.

HP is offering an outstanding Cyber Monday deal on its flagship gaming laptop. Right now you can score the powerful OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop for just $1,299.99 with free shipping after $50 off coupon code "STUFFING50". The RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful mobile GPU that should easily handle the newest and most demanding games.
OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $1,299.99
New for 2025, the OMEN MAX 16 is an upgrade to the OMEN 16 both in terms of build quality and cooling potential. Unlike the OMEN 16, the OMEN MAX 16 is almost entirely constructed of aluminum, including both the top lid and chassis. The exception is the palm rest, which is still plastic so that it doesn't get too toasty for your hands. The OMEN MAX 16 also features a new OMEN Tempest Cooling Pro design that combines vapor chamber cooling, redesigned fan configuration, and an improved thermal interface material to maximize heat transfer. Not only does this keep the OMEN MAX 16 cooler during gaming marathons, it also allows for the current-generation graphics cards to perform optimally without throttling.
This particular configuration features a 16" 1920x1200 display, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX CPU, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Both the memory and storage can be user-upgraded. I would recommend upgrading to the 16" 2560x1600 OLED display for an additional $190.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 255X is a top performing CPU
The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX is a 20-core processor with a max turbo frequency of 5.2GHz. In terms of gaming performance, upgrading to an Ultra 9 would be a waste of money. Games are typically GPU-bound, so getting the best GPU within your budget should be the highest priority. Most games also can't utilize more than 4-8 cores, so the extra cores on the Core Ultra 9 are unnecessary. The Ultra 9 275HX does have a slightly higher clock speed (5.4GHz vs 5.2GHz) but that's just a 4% difference in performance, completely unnoticeable in actual gameplay.
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU can handle the most demanding games
The RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU is comparable in performance to the previous generation's RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4. It should be able to handle even the newest and most demanding games like Ghost of Yotei, Battlefield 6, and Borderlands 4 on the native 1920x1200 resolution. It can also run the same games at 2560x1600 if you opt for the OLED upgrade, although you may have to minimally tweak some graphics settings to maintain 60fps.
The Cyber Monday sales are here, and that means it's the last day to score some of the biggest deals of the year. Smartphones are seeing some deep discounts for the holiday sale, so if you’ve been looking to grab a new phone for yourself or want to give a holiday gift that just about anyone will love, you need to act now. Amazon and Best Buy are delivering some of the lowest prices of the year on top smartphones from Samsung, Google, and OnePlus. Some phones are available for over 30% off, and all of them are unlocked for easy use with a range of carriers.
If you’re looking for even deeper discounts, many of the top wireless service providers have dropped killer device bundles or individual phone deals. You could potentially score a brand new iPhone or other smartphone for free. Take advantage of these deals while you can, as most are set to expire today.
Samsung Galaxy Deals
All of the latest Samsung Galaxy phones are on sale for Cyber Monday. Whether you opt for the top-of-the-line model or something more affordable, you can enjoy some of the biggest discounts we’ve seen on these phones. Select models are up to 30% off for some absolutely killer savings on these unlocked devices.
Samsung’s folding phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, are up to 20% off. As a tablet/phone hybrid, the Z Fold 7 is ideal for multitasking, and even gaming, thanks to its ultra-powerful processors. The Z Flip 7 is a major upgrade to the flip phones of yesteryear, offering a standard-sized smartphone with a screen that can be folded for a more pocketable design.
As for Samsung’s classic Galaxy phones, the best deals are on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 FE. If you’re after the best performance, a nice-sized display, stunning cameras, and a built-in S-Pen, the S25 Ultra is the phone for you, and it’s $400 off. The entry-level S25 FE is a solid, perfectly capable budget option discounted over $150 right now.
Google’s new Pixel 10 lineup has the best Cyber Monday deals. Even its tablet-style Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which just came out in October, is discounted, at $400 off. The biggest savings are on the rest of the Pixel 10 phones, which are up to 30% off and down to their lowest price ever. I'm especially hyped to see that Best Buy has even reduced the price of many Pixel 10 phones by $50 compared to its Black Friday deals. Therefore, it has a slight edge over Amazon in terms of pricing. If you’re after an unlocked Pixel 10 model, the time to buy is now. You can even save big on a last-generation Pixel 9 if you’re not after the latest and greatest.
The standard Pixel 10 offers a solid triple-camera system and plenty of performance for the average user. For those looking to add a little extra oomph for multitasking and gaming, go for the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL, which offer better cameras and more RAM. No matter what phone you end up with, just know you’re getting a good deal on a quality device.
The OnePlus 13 is our favorite smartphone, and for Cyber Monday, Amazon is selling it with a $200 discount. In IGN’s review of the OnePlus 13, reviewer Mark Knapp was enthralled with the gorgeous display, elegant design, and superb performance, and called it "a value champ" compared for great value compared to other smartphones. If you’ve been looking for a great iPhone alternative or want to step away from Google or Samsung Androids, the OnePlus 13 is the phone to get. This unlocked model is a great Cyber Monday deal to grab while it’s still live.
The deepest discounts on phones often come from wireless service providers. Adding new lines or trading in phones are usually the best ways to save. Below are some of the best deals from top carriers:
Verizon
Verizon has tons of “On Us” promotions for Cyber Monday. That includes a free iPhone 17 Pro, iPad (A16), and Apple Watch Series 11 when signing up for a new phone line on select Unlimited plans, along with tablet and watch plans. Best of all, no trade-in is required, and you could still save over $1,800. Buyers who don't need the tablet and watch can still get a free iPhone 17 Pro when adding a new line on certain Unlimited plans, or an iPhone 17 on some of Verizon’s more basic plans – again, no trade-in required
Verizon is offering effectively the same bundle deal for Samsung Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy Watch. Same goes for the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, Tab, and Watch. All of these devices are free when signing up for new lines on select plans, with no trade-in. Verizon is also offering the standard Google Pixel 10 or Samsung Galaxy S25 for free with new lines on more basic plans.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile’s Black Friday sale includes up to four new iPhone 17s for free for subscribers bringing their phone numbers from other carriers to its $25-per-line, per-month Essentials Plan. The carrier is also offering a similar Apple bundle deal to Verizon's, with an iPhone 17 Pro, iPad, and Apple Watch SE for free when adding new lines to select Unlimited plans, albeit with trade-in required for the 17 Pro.
The company is also offering a free Samsung bundle worth $2,299 that includes a Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Tab S10 FE, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Buds 3 FE for an Experience Beyond plan with eligible trade-ins. Other deals include up to $1,000 off select Google Pixel Phones, and some don’t even require a trade-in with the Experience Beyond plans.
AT&T
AT&T is also offering an Apple bundle that includes a free iPhone 17 Pro with sign-up for a new line and trade-in of an iPhone 14 Max or better. Subscribers can also get an iPad (A16) and Apple Watch SE 3 for $0.99 per month each, again with new cellular lines for each. This applies to both new and existing customers. The company is also offering an iPhone Air for less than $3 per month with no trade-in when adding a new line.
For Android users, a Samsung bundle that includes Galaxy Z Flip 7 for free with eligible trade-in, along with a Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Watch for $0.99 per month. It’s a great deal, delivering up to $1,600 in savings. If you’re interested in a phone only, you can score up to $1,100 off the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or a free Galaxy Z Flip 7 with select trade-ins. Both new and existing customers are included in this deal.

Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a good idea to jump on a decent sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. It's no longer available new straight from Sonos, but you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $399 during Cyber Monday. That's nearly $500 less than its original retail price of $900, and a better deal than the Arc Ultra, currently on sale for $879.
Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing, come with all accessories, manuals, and documentation, and are reshipped in "pristine" packaging. Most importantly, Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new. I like when retailers offer the same warranty as new because that means they have faith in the reliability of their refurbs.
Sonos Arc Soundbar (Refurbished)
The release of the Arc Ultra doesn't make the Arc any less of an outstanding speaker. The 45" soundbar houses eleven precisely engineered internal speakers, including three tweeters and eight midwoofers each paired with Class-D amplifiers. It's capable of room filling audio by itself, but you'd still benefit from a separate subwoofer to round out the low end. Unlike the Sonos Beam, which only has virtual height channels, the Arc has two physical height channels for true Dolby Atmos support. The Arc also has a built-in microphone for smart assistant compatiblity, including voice control.
Save $120 off the Sonos Arc Ultra for Cyber Monday
If you'd rather have the newer model, then the Arc Ultra might be the one for you. This imposing 46" soundbar houses 14 total speakers, including five tweeters (plus two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos supported height channels), six midwoofers, and a four-motor, dual-membrane Sound Motion woofer for impressive low-end that the original Arc lacked. The Arc Ultra uses AI to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone for voice commands from the Sonos assistant or the likes of Google and Alexa. Check out our Sonos Arc Ultra review.
Check out our Sonos Black Friday Sale guide for more deals on the company's soundbars, speakers, and headphones, including the lowest prices of the year on the Sub 4 and Sub Mini to complement your soundbar.

If you're hoping to find a deal on an unlocked Google Pixel phone before Cyber Monday deals come to an end, I've got some good news: Both Amazon and Best Buy still have slashed prices on all of the latest models from the Pixel lineup. The Google Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, and 10 Pro Fold have all dropped to their lowest prices for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with a whopping 25% savings. These deals launched earlier this month and have come back just in time for Amazon's official Cyber Monday sale.
Google's line of smartphones is mostly known for its high-quality camera and helpful AI features, both of which make them great iPhone alternatives. As someone who has owned a Pixel for well over a year now, I have no problem recommending them to anyone looking for a smartphone upgrade at a reasonable price.
The Best Google Pixel Phone Deals at Amazon Today
The only exception to the 25% Cyber Monday discount is the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which is only getting 17% off the retail price. But even that is still substantial when you consider that this is the best discount we've seen on Google's latest foldable phone since it was released in October. With these price drops, right now is the best time we've seen all year to pick up an unlocked Google Pixel phone at a discount. None of these price drops are attached to a carrier plan, so you don't need to sign any sort of contract before you buy. You can currently find these savings at Amazon or at Best Buy if any of any of the colors are out of stock.
Which phone should you buy?
Pixel 10 Pro vs. Pixel 10
Deciding which Google phone to buy really comes down to what features you want and how much you're willing to pay. My Google Pixel 8 is a few generations old at this point, but I decided to grab the Pro because of the increased screen size and bigger battery. I'd highly recommend picking up either the Pro or Pro XL if you plan on using your phone to watch videos or play games at all. Otherwise the cheaper Pixel 10 is probably your best bet at this price.
We reviewed the Google Pixel 10 Pro earlier this year and found that it didn't offer that many improvements of the Pixel 9 Pro. However, with the discount right now, the latest model is definitely the one worth buying over the previous generation.
The Google Pixel 9 deal is the best value option
If you don't mind going back a generation to save even more cash, I'd recommend checking out the Google Pixel 9 deal Amazon also has going on right now. We reviewed the Google Pixel 10 when it came out in September and overall found it to be not as big of an upgrade as we hoped it would be. It's definitely an improvement over the Pixel 9 in terms of performance thanks to the Tensor G5 chip and additional AI features, but it isn't a massive leap. Considering the Pixel 9 is currently $100 cheaper than the Pixel 10 right now, it's worth considering going back a generation for additional savings.
While these are indeed the best prices we've ever seen on the Google Pixel 10 phones this year, that doesn't mean the prices won't drop further next year. Google always launches its new phones sometime around August and will usually drop bigger and bigger discounts on its latest generation phones as the we get closer to that date. So if you really want to maximize your savings on Pixel 10, it's probably better to wait until 2026. If you need a phone right now, though, these deals are really great for how recently the new phones were released.
It's time to retire that pedal-powered bike of yours and upgrade to electric! For Cyber Monday, AliExpress is offering two of its most popular ebikes down to historically low prices, both well under $500. The deals below stand out for the following reasons: 1) they're a lot less expensive than buying the exact same bike from Amazon, 2) they're all shipped from a local US warehouse so you don't need to worry about tariffs or shipping delays, and 3) they're sold by reputable vendors with plenty of reviews and sales to back them up.
Amyet V9-G60 1000W Electric Bike for Less Than $400
The Amyet V9-G60 boasts a 1,000W (1,500W peak) brushless motor that can push the bike at speeds up to 32mph. The 48V 20AH (960Whr) battery can last up to 70 miles on a single charge (the actual distance is dependent on other factors like your speed, terrain, elevation, etc). Other features include a lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano components for its 7-speed transmission, dual suspension, and 20" wheels with 4" fat tires for a more comfortable ride. The bike comes 90% preassembled and includes a one-year warranty. It's also mod-friendly in case you wanted to do your own upgrades.
Luckeep X1 Lite 750W Electric Bike for $446.76
The X1 Lite's 750W (1,500W peak) brushless motor can hit a top speed of about 28mph. The 48V 15AH (720Whr) battery can last up to 50 miles on a single charge. Like the Amyet V9-G60, it also features a lightweight aluminum frame, Shimano 7-speed transmission, and 20" wheels with 4" fat tires, and is covered by a 12-month warranty. The feature that sets this bike apart is its ability to be folded in half with the wheels stacked next to each other. This design makes it much easier to fit in a smaller space. A little engineering magic is needed to make sure that the frame maintains its rigidity and so this feature isn't commonly found in entry level bikes.

If you're exhausted by the ever-increasing price of Xbox Game Pass, there's relief at Amazon in the form of three months of Game Pass Ultimate for just $56.99. That's $18.99 per month, or more than $10 cheaper than the Ultimate plan's usual $29.99 monthly.
Microsoft charges promotional rates first, even if a deal like this is added to existing Game Pass subscriptions, so buyers don't pay their usual rates until the three months is up. And for those who can swing it, the company lets subscribers stack deals. That $30+ savings every three months adds up – it's the difference between paying $240 vs $360 annually.
Save $30 Off Three Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
That stacking can not only stave off your current subscription price; it can hold off future increases, too. There's no telling how high Game Pass will go – its most recent price hike occurred in October, with Microsoft throwing in more benefits for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in an attempt to sweeten the deal, such as monthly subscriptions to both Fortnite Crew and Ubisoft+ Classics, and a promise that subscribers will get access to more than 75 day one releases each year.

It’s back, tabletop fans. Both Amazon and Target are running a “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” sale on board games, many of which are already individually discounted for Cyber Monday. And these deals are stackable, an elite-level deal-hunting move I always appreciate. Let’s take a look at what board games are eligible for the sale.
Buy 2, Get 1 Free at Amazon
The deals include a lot of standards that should be in most people’s game collection, like Ticket to Ride, Catan, and Azul. It’s also a great sale for parents looking to pick up family board games, as tons of classic games are on sale. Games like Scrabble, Operation, Mouse Trap, Guess Who, Twister, and the like are all represented here.
I’d especially recommend Flip 7, a simple card game that only takes a few minutes to teach newcomers, with matches that last just 15 - 20 minutes. That makes it great to whip out with a group of friends when you’re looking to kill some time. Check out our Flip 7 review for more information.
Flamecraft is an excellent strategy game with dragons (see our review here). The latest edition of Talisman brings a classic dungeon-crawler into modern times (review). And The Lord of The Rings Journeys in Middle-Earth Board Game made it on our list of the best fantasy board games.
Those are just a few of the games eligible for the Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale at Amazon. You can click through to the full sale here to see every game available. There are plenty. And remember, you can also check out the same sale at Target, where you may find a handful of different games available.

LEGO sets are popular this Cyber Monday, and the best LEGO Star Wars deal is the Battle Droid with STAP from the Phantom Menace. It's currently down to $89.99 on Amazon, saving you $50 off of its original price of $139.99. It's not the only LEGO Star Wars set discounted, but it's definitely the biggest bang for your buck. LEGO's Cyber Monday sale ends today, so make sure you look through what they're offering in case there's a set you've had your eye on.
LEGO Star Wars Battle Droid With STAP
This awesome 1,088-piece model is one of the most detailed buildable droid figures we've had. It stands over a foot tall when the droid is mounted on the STAP (Single Trooper Aerial Platform) and comes with a display stand and information marquee that's great for displaying with other LEGO sets or on a bookshelf. You also get a minifigure battle droid and a scaled down version of the STAP with clear support bricks to give it that floating illusion. The Battle Droid buildable figure itself can be removed from the STAP, and it's fully posable with the included brick-built blaster. At just over 1,000 pieces, this is the perfect set to lock in on while The Phantom Menace plays in the background.
If you're unfamiliar, LEGO will schedule their sets to retire after some time. Some other great LEGO Star Wars sets will soon be sunsetted, like the Droideka buildable model, which pairs perfectly with the Battle Droid and STAP set for all those prequels fans out there. The Mos Espa Podrace diorama is another great set for displaying in a home office, and the Tantive IV recreates one of the most iconic ships in the entire saga.
If you're after a LEGO set that isn't Star Wars-themed, there are dozens of other sets retiring soon to pick from (check out the full list on BrickEconomy).
Phantasmal Flames has exploded in popularity from release, but the good news is larger print runs are starting to pay off with more stock floating around. We're not out of the woods yet, but prices are coming down for both sealed and single card values, so it's having the right effect on the market.
With TCGPlayer running their Cyber Weekend event until 11PM ET today, this is your last chance to knock an extra 10% off whatever you purchase on there. If you're already a TCGPlayer subscriber, that cashback percentage goes up to 16% depending on how long you've been a subscriber for. If you right up today for $8.99 per month, that flat 10% goes up to 13%, which adds up if you're stocking up.
Phantasmal Flames Booster Packs
The cheapest way to get in on Phantasmal Flames are single booster packs and blister packs. If you're collecting, i'd reccomend going for the sleeved booster packs or the blisters. It just means you'll get better chances of cards being in a gradable condition if you pull something worthwhile.
Phantasmal Flames Boxed Products
Looking to keep some Phantasmal Flames in your sealed collection? This is a great time to catch the Pokémon Cernter Exclusive Elite Trainer Box and The Mega Charizard X ex Ultra Premium Collection. With 10% knocked off, they'll run you $173.70 and $165.59 respectively, which is going to be the best price you're likely to ever find on these products.
If you're planning on ripping booster packs i'd go for the Booster Bundle that contains six boosters for $43.84 after cashback or the Booster Box for $243, which is $12 cheaper than Amazon's cheapest price right now. Just remember, this cashback offer ends today at 11PM ET, so make sure to lock in yuour order today if you're in the market.
Bulk / Case Phantasmal Flames
If you're looking at really bulking up your sealed collection or ripping a high amount of booster packs, buying a case of Phantasmal Flames product is the way forward. It's usually cheaper buying in bulk, and keeping this all sealed is extremely collectable.
For example, buying the case of six Phantasmal Flames booster boxes means you're paying $227.99 per Booster Box after cashback, which is currently a saving of $15.01 per Booster Box, or $90.06 total by comparrison.

It’s Cyber Monday, and possibly the last day to enjoy the best discounts this year. That includes deals on Xbox accessories, like Amazon's 23% discount for the Xbox-approved 2TB Seagate Storage Expansion Card, now available for just $199.99.
Seagate's 2TB Xbox Storage Expansion Card Is $75 Off
The Xbox Series X and Series S come with up to 1TB total storage, some of which is already taken up by the console's operating system. AAA titles can fill that space up fast, and the Xbox Series consoles don't have standard M.2 SSD expansion slots like the PS5. It does support external SSDs via USB, but for full-speed storage that will actually play games optimized for the Xbox Series X/S, you need one of a few approved cards that fit a specific slot on the back of the console. The Seagate Storage Expansion Card was the first of those, and is IGN’s pick for best Xbox Series X/S SSD.
That approach means Xbox storage expansion isn't often as cheap, but there's at least one nice trade-off in its ease of use. Plugging a card into the back of your console is way easier than opening it up and connecting things to the internal board – and a lot less anxiety-inducing for those who don't do that sort of thing all the time.
The Seagate Storage Expansion Card is available in three different capacities: 4TB, 2TB, and 1TB. The $379.99 4TB card is the best per-terabyte deal, but 2TB is the sweet spot, providing ample space for a healthy gaming library without costing almost as much as a new Series S.
It's not a proper discount, but it's a nice salve for the burn of the console's $649.99 starting price, giving you some extra money to put toward on-sale Xbox games and accessories, or any of the other things Best Buy is discounting for Cyber Monday. The deal also applies to open-box consoles, which can net you extra savings if you happen to find one in stock near you. Alas, the deal doesn't extend to the cheaper Series S.
Buy an Xbox Series X 1TB Console, Get a Free $100 Best Buy E-Gift Card
For those unfamiliar, this Xbox Series X comes packed with 1TB of storage to hold a massive gaming library. Those games will look great when you boot them up, too, as this console can make your games shine with crisp 4K resolution and up to 120 FPS silky smooth frame rates.
Not seeing Xbox consoles pop up in Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales this year has been a big bummer, especially considering the recent price hikes. Yet just because there weren't any console deals doesn't mean the seasonal sale events have been a complete bust for Xbox fans. Our full breakdown of the best Xbox deals that are still available highlights some of our top picks at the moment. Some of these deals may not last much longer beyond today, so make sure to grab the ones that catch your eye while they're still available.
