Amazon's Book Nook Deals Are an Awesome Gift Idea for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 04:35

Amazon has some of the best DIY book nooks on sale during its massive Black Friday sale. There are seemingly endless themes to slot onto your bookshelf, each perfect for fans of specific genres and aesthetics. Brands like Funpola and Cutebee have their buildable nooks on sale for between 15% and up to 40% off, so if you've been looking for a way to add some style to your bookshelves, now's the time to do so on the cheap. You can also check out the Black Friday book deals going on at Amazon while you're at it.

Book Nooks On Sale For Black Friday

Book nooks function similarly to book ends, in that they can slot in between books on your shelf to fill gaps and keep your books upright. But unlike bookends, most book nooks are buildable model kits that are a blast to put together if you like working with your hands. The book nooks on offer at Amazon for Black Friday come in all kinds of sizes and themes, so if your collection is mostly sci-fi, the Funpola Endless Dimensions book nook would look pretty awesome slotted in with your favorite series, and so on.

There are also currently four LEGO book nooks featuring iconic scenes from The Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, and Wicked, but unfortunately they are not on sale for Black Friday like other LEGO sets. If you're still curious about them, we built the LEGO Lord of the Rings book nook set, and it was an awesome build that includes a to-scale buildable Balrog figure.

I Made a List of the Best D&D Deals You Can Get For Holiday Gifting on Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 03:15

Do you have someone who loves diving through dungeons, exploring magical worlds, doing random voices, or just wants something you can do with your family and friends this holiday? Luckily for you, there are some great Black Friday deals going on right now on Dungeons & Dragons goodies, and get ready for that special holiday one-shot with your friends or just to give your family something to play and do instead of talking about politics and all those other awkward conversation topics.

TL;DR - Top DnD Deals Right Now

  1. DnD Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands
  2. Dungeons & Dragons Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game
  3. DND Spinner Dice DNDND 7-in-1 Fidget Spinner Metal D&D Dice Set
  4. DnD Handbook Bundle
  5. Dungeons & Dragons Icewind Dale: Rime of The Frostmaiden (D&D Adventure Book)
  6. Dungeons & Dragons Eberron Bundle
  7. Curse of Strahd Campaign Book
  8. DnD Tomb of Annihilation
  9. 7 Sets (49PCS) Polyhedral Dice sets
  10. Limited 50th Anniversary Edition Strongheart Figure

'Tis the season for great deals and bundles, and Dungeons & Dragons has some great ones. For brand new DnD players, or a group that has been showing interest in trying out the game, there is no better gift than the brand new Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set that was released earlier this year. With a bunch of dice, an easy-to-understand card-based gear system, and three distinct types of adventures (one focusing on combat, exploration, and roleplaying) this is a wonderful jumping-in point and is on sale now!

Shop Top DnD Deals

For folks that simply want to upgrade to the new 2024 version of 5th Edition, Wizards of the Coast is offering a bundle that includes the brand new versions of the Monster Manual, Player’s Handbook, and Dungeon Master's Guide. With enhanced monster stat blocks, reworked classes, and new tools for the DM, these books are great to add to your shelf, and all three still work with all existing 5th Edition books as well.

For experienced players and DMs, there are sales on some truly classic adventure modules, including the Tomb of Annihilation and the Curse of Strahd, both of which every D&D group should experience at least once in their lifetime, as both are such quintessential stories for the game. If a more modern and topical quest is more your and your friends’ style, then the Stranger Things: Welcome to The Hellfire Club Adventure Game is also on sale. This special box, featuring the heroes that the characters from the Stranger Things series play as, will let you finish the campaign that Eddie never got to back in the last season.

Of course, to play those games, you will need some dice too, and thankfully, some dice are also on sale. Grab yourself multiple sets of dice so you and your friends can all start new characters with fresh, untainted new dice, or grab that special player in your life a sweet metal spinning dice. This nifty contraption is all your dice in a single, pocket watch-like package that spins and gives results.

What makes a good D&D Gift?

When it comes to my general philosophy and approach to getting a TTRPG gift for a friend, there are three things I consider. First, is the person a Game/Dungeon Master (the person who does the actual running of the game, aka GM or DM) or are they a player (someone who takes part in the story)? Lastly, I try to figure out how they play, asking myself “do they play online with folks,” or “do they get together in person with a regular group to play”?

For the Dungeon Masters

For the GMs, I would look toward campaign or adventure books, like the Curse of Strahd and Tomb of Annihilation books. These are self-contained stories that provide the person running the game with all they need to run a great multi-session story for their players.

If you know they run a bunch of games in person, then surprise them with a really nice GM Screen (a divider that separates the players from the GM and their notes), such as the Wymwood DM Screen.

Another solid option for your GM friends is a nice dry-erase grid rollable map and markers. These are powerful tools to allow them to quickly draw out the dungeon of the week or dense forest that they are sending their players into that night during the game.

Or if they already have all of that, then giving them some sweet new miniatures to send at the heroes is a great last option, and WizKids has an incredible line of D&D-specific colored miniatures you can get, and currently has a holiday bundle available too!

Gifts for Heroes

If you are looking for gifts for the heroes themselves, I have some general suggestions for you, too. For the newer releases like the Heroes of Faerun, Wizards of the Coast is making it easier to tell which books are more geared towards DMs and which ones are for players, and in the player’s cases, you will want to seek out ones with either the “Player's Expansion" label or “Rules Expansion” found on books like the upcoming Eberron: Forge of the Artificer book releasing in December. These books add new classes, spells, feats, and more for players to try out and make characters with.

If you are looking for a more personal touch though, a fun gift idea for that special D&D player in your life may be a gift card to heroforge.com, a site that allows you to build a custom small character miniature and either buy a physical version of it (including a fancy metal version) or the 3D file so they can print it themselves on their own 3D printer at home.

Roll the Dice

Finally, if none of those ideas are speaking to you, then you can always get the person dice. Us folks who play TTRPGs will never have enough dice (don’t listen to us if we say we don’t). It seems like nowadays, with the hobby's explosion in popularity, you can find whatever sort of dice you want, be it any color, aesthetic, theme, shape, or whatever you could imagine. Want a set of dice with little ice cream cones in them? You can buy them. What about dice cut from Amethyst – yes, the gemstone kind of Amethyst. Those are out there too!

Handcrafted Dice Brands

A whole industry has rolled out from the shadows based completely around luxury and handcrafted dice such as Dispel Dice, Baron of Dice, Artisan Dice, and Die Hard Dice just to name a few, with most of them hosting their own holiday deals right now. Pretty math rocks will always be a great gift for players and game masters alike.

See more Dice we rounded up in our DnD Holiday Gift Guide below:

Hopefully, with these recommendations, you’ll find your inspiration and the perfect gift for that role player in your life. If all else fails, you can always just offer to play in a one-shot with them or run a one-shot for them, too!

TCGPlayer's Cyber Sale Has 10% Cashback on All Pokémon Cards This Weekend

29 novembre 2025 à 03:00

TCGPlayer is joining in on the Black Friday and Cyber Monday fun with their Cyber Weekend event.

Starting on November 28 at 9 am ET, trainers will get 10% back in store credit on their TCGPlayer account from whatever they buy.

This promotion will be running until December 1, 11 pm ET. So if you've been waiting for your favorite chase cards to go down in value to snap them up, this is it.

TCGPlayer does these promotions once or twice a year for a big holiday like Black Friday and Halloween, but this 10% credit offer comes while Pokémon TCG is finding a new floor.

That much is clear just by looking at the most recent Pokémon TCG set, Phantasmal Flames. But more on that later, long story short, this is a great time to pick up chase cards.

But which chase cards should you buy on TCGPlayer's Cyber Weekend? Well, I've handpicked some of the best cards from Mega Evolution, Scarlet and Violet, and the Sword and Shield eras of Pokémon TCG for you to catch.

The Best Modern Chase Cards to Look Out For

Scarlet and Violet has been one of the best era's in recent memory for chase cards with multiple banger sets, and yes I know Evolving Skies from Sword and Shield was insane, more on that later. 151, Black Bolt/White Flare, Destined Rivals, Prismatic Evolutions and Twilight Masquerade collectively hold the most expensive chase cards of this era.

That's great and all, but it means more money spent on catching the best cards going. Then the latest era, Mega Evolution is off to a flying start with its base set and Phantasmal Flames expansion bringing back Pokémons most popular gimmick from the main games. There's a lot to focus on, just the carousel above will proove that much, but just focus on what stands out to you and what fits into your budget.

So the top 5 cards here value wise are Umbreon ex SIR, Mega Charizard X ex SIR, Mega Charizard X ex Gold Hyper Rare, Team Rocket's Mewtwo ex SIR and Mega Lucario ex Gold Hyper Rare. Even though Mega Evolution sets have dropped in value significantly since launch, they're still putting out some of the most valuable cards in modern Pokémon TCG.

Umbreon is never going to be knocked off the top spot, not even Charizard can do that, but it's going to be the best time to snap it up on TCGPlayer. Let's do some quick math; 10% of $1,294.99 is $129.49, which is going to be the minimum cashabck you'll recieve after purchasing Sunbreon. That means you could put that credit towards Roaring Moon ex SIR from the same set and grab it for $42.14 instead of $171.63. Oh, then you'd also get another 10% cashback from that purchase which is $17.16. It's the best kind of snowball i've ever seen.

But even with the cashback, Sunbreon will still cost a fortune regardless of how good the deal is, so let's pick out something that you're other half won't kill you (as much) for. Greninja SIR ex from Twilight Masquerade absolutley pops and is easily one of the best artworks in the Scarlet and Violet era. Whilst you might think $325 is steep, this card was touching $380 just a week or two ago. So getting $32.50 back as 10% cashback to effectively get this card for $292.50. Now that's a great investment, which is also the near-mint price.

The Best Scarlet and Violet Promo Cards To Catch

The Scarlet and Violet era has also been a very strong era for promo cards. This means anything from a STAFF stamped card to a Pokémon Center stamped card found inside Pokémon Center-exclusive Elite Trainer Boxes.

One of my favorites from the Scarlet and Violet era is the Paldea Evolved Pokémon Center exclusive Elite Trainer Box (Takes a deep breath). It features Pikachu alongside the Paldea starter Pokémon in a "Let's go suit shopping" pose that has the power to cause genuine cardiac arrest. A stunning card.

Now considering the exclusive Elite Trainer Box is currently going for $500 sealed right now, the $119 price tag for the card is actually quite cheap. And when you consider the $11.90 cashback you'd get off buying the card, that's not a bad deal at all.

Keeping in with the Pikachu theme, one of my favorite promos from Scarlet and Violet that I actually own is Pikachu with Grey Felt Hat. This costs even more than the ETB at $547.99 right now, which is a big drop from around $647 just days ago. I've written about the full story behind this infamous card previously, but this is a fantastic time to get this card thanks to the extra $54.79 you'll get in cashback this weekend.

The Best Sword and Shield Chase Cards You Can't Miss

Yes, we're about to talk about Evolving Skies, well done for waiting until the end of the article. I remember walking into stores on release and not being able to move for Evolving Skies boosters, premium collections and Elite Trainer Boxes, often below MSRP. It's frankly insane how much this set it worth compared to how available it used to be.

It's the home of the most valuable Sword and Shield era chase cards for the most part, including Moonbreon, Rayquazza VMAX Alt Art, Umbreon V Alt Art, Dragonite V Alt Art, most of the Eeveelution VMAX Alt Arts and the stunning Rayquaza V Alt full art.

Apologies for just going mad listing cards, but this is why it's costing north of $2,000 just for a Booster Box. Of course you'd also get $200 in cashback which is awesome, but just wow. If you're looking to get some big chase cards for a steal in TCGPlayer's Cyber Weekend, start with Evolving Skies.

Sword and Shield isn't just about one set though, Fusion Strike, Lost Origins and Silver Tempest also have some god tier level grails. The Secret Alt Art of Gengar VMax for example is currently $730, which is over double the worth of the next Fusion Strike chase card down the line, Espeon VMAX Secret Alt Art, running at $329.58 right now.

If you're looking for an amazing chase card that isn't going to require a remortgage, Lugia V Alt Full Art from Silver Tempest is a banger. Other than me being really proud of myself getting it for under $150 earlier this year, the mood in this card thanks to Lugia jumping out of the ocean in the middle of a storm over a fisherman is stunning. Hands down the best Lugia Pokémon Card ever printed.

TCGPlayer Subscription

If you're planning on snapping up quite a few Pokémon cards in the sale, this is a great time to become a TCGPLayer subscriber. It costs $8.99 a month and gives users free delivers and 1% cashback regardless of the time of year.

Whilst this climbs to 3% after a years membership, subscriber will get a boosted 13% cashback over cyber weekend on top of their usual cashback. For longtime members, this could equate to 16% cashback, which is frankly insane.

Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man Collector Booster Boxes Are $100 Off For Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 00:30

Amazon is offering Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man Collector booster boxes (12-packs) for just $349.99 (originally $455.88), saving you over $100 for a chance to crack open some of the hottest Magic cards in awhile. The Spider-Man expansion isn't the only set getting a price drop on Amazon either; Avatar: The Last Airbender and Tarkir: Dragonstorm sealed products are on sale, as well.

Spider-Man Collector Booster Box Discounted For Black Friday

While the MTG Spider-Man set wasn't the most well-received in terms of mechanics and playability, collector booster packs like this offer a nice chance to open some expensive chase cards. These packs, which contain 15 cards just like a regular booster pack, may seem pricey, but compared to normal booster packs, they tend to come with with more foils, which are shiny, holographic versions of every card available in the set. They also often come with very sought-after alternate prints of existing cards and a higher chance for Rare or Mythic Rare cards.

For individual cards, I'd recommend checking out online card retailer TCGPlayer. From today until December 1, it's running a Cyber Monday deal on everything it sells – for every purchase you make, you get 10% cashback in store credit, or 13% back if you're a subscriber. So if you're a long-time player looking for metagame staples, this is a good opportunity to get more than you were expecting to finish some decks.

More Magic: The Gathering Items On Sale

Be sure to have a look at our handy Magic: The Gathering gift guide for more deals and inspiration for that card player in your life. In it we cover everything from accessories, playmats, dice, sleeves, and so much more. And if you're a big fan of the Final Fantasy expansion, Amazon's Black Friday sale on playmats has some of the most iconic character mats at discounted prices as well.

This Sonos Arc Soundbar Costs $500 Less Than the Arc Ultra for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 00:30

Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good 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 at Sonos direct, however for Black Friday you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $399. That's $500 less than its original retail price of $900. It's a heck of a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently "on sale" for $879.

Sonos refurbished products go through rigorous testing; they 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 Black Friday

If you care more about getting the superior speaker, even if it might not be as cost-efficient, then the Arc Ultra might bhe the soundbar 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 enhancement technology to isolate and boost the clarity of dialogue and voices. It also has a built-in microphone so that it can be controlled using voice commands from the Sonos app or your favorite smart assistant. Check out our own Sonos Arc Ultra review.

This deal is part of a greater Sonos Black Friday Sale that starts now. Check out more deals on soundbars, speakers, and headphones, including the lowest prices of the year on the Sub 4 and Sub Mini to complement your soundbar.

The Best Star Wars Unlimited TCG Black Friday Deals

29 novembre 2025 à 00:00

The force is strong this Black Friday, and I've managed to force grip the best prices for Star Wars: Unlimited TCG moving into Cyber Weekend for young apprentices and masters (Not acolytes, we don't talk about that in my articles).

TL:DR: Star Wars Unlimited Black Friday Deals

The fight for the best deal isn't in a galaxy far far away though, it's on Amazon and TCGPlayer, and I've compared deals on sealed products from the two so you have a good idea on what this trading card game is running you right now.

With TCGPlayers Cyber Weekend cashback event going live starting Black Friday, it's also going to be the best time of year to snap up your favorite chase cards from Star Wars: Unlimited. More on that below,so let's get into it:

10% Cashback TCGPlayer Cyber Weekend Event

If you're going to start destroying opponents bases like an absolute Sith or Rebel, you're going to need to build out your deck with the best leader and aspects that match your base. Of course there's flashier variants such as Serialized cards, which can get really expensive. But if you're look to turn you deck into something flashier or just fancy having come chase cards graded or in your binder, it's nearly the best time of year to do so.

Starting from from 9 a.m. ET on November 28 to 11 p.m. ET on December 1, you can get 10% cashback as in-store credit on anything on site, not just Star Wars: Unlimited. If you're a TCGPlayer subscriber, this bumps up to a maximum of 16%, 13% if you're a new sign up plus free delivery.

Legends of the Force Sealed Deals

This is the third set for Star Wars: Unlimited following Sparks of Rebelion and Shadows of the Galaxy, which suprisingly is based around Jedi and Sith including legends characters. There's plenty of top-tier duels from animation and cinematic Star Wars stories, alongside fan-favorite force abilities details in card mechanics. Naturally this set is packed with force-based synergies, combat manipulation and leader strategies.

TCGPlayer looks the cheapest across the board with the exception of the Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn decks. Amazon also has a good deal on the Intro Battle Hoth set, which is great for begginers to live out the opening of The Emwpire Strikes Back.

Top LOTF Chase Cards

Anakin Skywalker - Champion of Mortis is naturally going to be one of the most expensive cards in the set, and quite a deep cut from The Clone Wars series. It's also a high-impact card once deployed, naturally an aggressive light side leader and unit.

Grogu - Mysterious Child is more of a support unit for light-side decks, focusing on healing, defense and synergy with other force users. It's best played in control decks, and Grogu cards in general will likely spike with the release of Mandalorian and Grogu film dropping next year.

Baylan Skoll - Enigmatic Master makes for a solid midrange or control Darkside lewader and unit. It's good at resource manipulation, efficient dueling and board stabilization. Want to put a tactical edge to your dark side deck? Baylan is your man.

Ezra Bridger - Attuned with Life pushes card advantages and focuses on Force synergies and flexibility. Force-user tempo and value-based decks will make Ezra feel right at home. Plus with Ashoka Season 2 coming, there's every chance we'll see a spike in Ezra Bridger card values.

I don't really need to explain why a serialized Yoda card is worth $500, but in terms of gameplay, Yoda - My Ally is the Force is a great card. It's a classic control/value Light-side Force user that's great for dueling and has fantastic synergy with Force and upgrade cards.

Secrets of Power Sealed Deals

Secrets of Power is the latest Star Wars Unlimited set, with over 260 new cards and a general theme around political power struggles, espionage and manipulation. In this set, starfighters and Force users are overshadowed by spies, schemers, saboteurs and politicians. The new "Plot" keyword mechanic can be played once your leader deployed and pretty much turn resources into extra cards in your hand. Play's like Deploying Palpatine at 7 resources to bring out multiple units and extra plot cards that have been panked is a powerful tempo strategy.

TCGPlayer is cheaper across the board here with the booster box, Padmé and Chancellor Palpatine decks.

SoP Top Chase Cards

Queen Amidala — Championing Her People focuses on hand manipulation, specifically revealing or discarding an opponents hand. it has great synergy with the Padmé Amidala leader card by being solid at revealing command and heroism cards.

Cassian Andor — Climb! focuses on Stealth, Sabotage, tactical manipulation and repositioning, with some great synergy when it comes to other cards based on the Andor series.

Karis Nemik — Freedom is a Pure Idea is a good engine and support unit and works great with small rebel unit. The main play here is buffing combo-heavy deck and helping win over time by building value.

Zam Wesell - Inconspicuous Assassin is a ground unit, and when upgraded she gains Grit, which equates to a +1/+1 for each damage on her. Jar Jar Binks - Mesa Propose... is one of the new Plot cards in Secrets of Power that gives another friendly unit +2/+2 for a phase.

Spark of Rebellion Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

Spark of Rebellion was the launch set for Star Wars: Unlimited and is still ridiculously proper for it's easy-to-learn gameplay mechanics, making it ideal for newcomers to the trading card game. It focuses on the original Star Wars trilogy, Rebels vs. Empire and also features Jedi Survivors whilst going deep into Imperial Special Forces.

Once again TCGPlayer is the cheapest for sealed product, with the chase cards being showcase cards of fan favorite characters Boba Fett, Leia Organa, Emperor Palpatine, Sabrine Wren and Han Solo. It's simply a banger of a set that brings original and new fans together by addressing everything that's going on around the time of A New Hope.

Jump to Lightspeed Sealed Deals

Jump to Lightspeed is focused on starfighter combat and pilots, with the latter being a central game mechanic. They're used to attach to ships, boost ship performance, enable special actions whilst flying and trigger new keyword interactions. It expands Star Wars: Unlimited without bloating overall gameplay.

In a shock to absolutley no-one, TCGPlayer is the cheapest place to pickup Jump to Lightspeed sealed product during Black Friday.

Top JtL Chase Cards

Of course Boba Fett is one of the most valuable Pilots here, I love to see it. It's just a shame Slave 1 didn't rock up in the top 5 chase cards of Jump to Lightspeed. However there's two Millenium Falcons, because of course their is. We've also got Grand Admiral Thrawns Chimaera Star Destroyer, which is an absolute vibe in itself.

Shadows of the Galaxy Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

If you're more into the dark underbelly of Star Wars, this set is for you. It focuses on bounty hunters and the criminal underworld set in the Star Wars Galaxy, with a big focus on the Outer Rim. Specifically you can expect cards to be themed around appearances from The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Solo: A Star Wars Story and the underworld storylines from Rebels.

Amazon is the best place to buy the booster display box and starter set with Shadows of the Galaxy, with top chase cards including Cad Bane and Han Solo.

Twilight of the Republic Sealed Deals and Top Chase Cards

Twilight of the Republic focuses on the Clone Wars era, bringing in Ashoka Tano and General Grevious as new leaders to Star Wars: Unlimited. There's new keywords too such as "Coordinate", with new token units like Battle Droids and Clone Troopers (also known as canon fodder). The sets starter set is a good way to jump into the TCG whilst learning some of the newer mechanics over Sparks fo the Rebellions basic gameplay.

Amazon is the place to go for Twilight of the Republic sealed product this Black Friday. Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and even Quinlan Vos rock up in the top 5 chase cards in Twilight of the Republic, with welcome additions such as Cancellor Palpatine and Captain Rex all recieving their own showcase cards with a nod to The Clone Wars animated series art style.

Who Needs 'Essentials,' I'm Getting All of My Favorite Anime on Blu-ray for Black Friday

29 novembre 2025 à 00:00

Black Friday sales are well underway, with every retailer competing for the attention of physical media collectors. Amazon is running its usual '3 for 2' sale on books and movies, while the Crunchyroll Store has launched a 40% discount across most home video releases. Between the two, there are some pretty ridiculous discounts on anime Blu-rays.

Amazon has more offers, sure, but even Bezos can't match Crunchyroll's discounts on exclusive releases, like the incredibly overpriced Blu-ray release for Cyberpunk Edgerunners. After scrolling through all of the Blu-ray sales I could find, I can now report back with the best anime deals for Black Friday 2025.

Anime Blu-ray Deals Actually Worth Getting

The best deals are split between full collections of older classics and individual seasons of newer releases. I prefer the big collections, but that might be because I’m reaching unc status in my anime taste. Along those lines, we’re seeing all-time low prices on the OG Naruto series, Ouran High School Host Club, Soul Eater, and Samurai Champloo.

If there’s one series I check any time there’s a sales event, it’s the 1997 adaptation of Berserk. Life-changing stuff, I know. Amazon has knocked a couple dollars off the standard Blu-ray, but the better deal is actually the Crunchyroll-exclusive version of the Blu-ray steelbook (particularly if you tack on the Crunchyroll member discounts).

On the newer wave, the collector’s editions of both Chainsaw Man and Dan Da Dan, which include tons of extra merch, have reached new all-time low prices. The Cyberpunk Edgerunners Blu-ray is still ridiculously overpriced in North America (and not even available on Amazon), but if you're desperate for those storyboards, the Crunchyroll Store has given it a 20% discount.

Anime Movies Hitting All-Time Low Prices

While there aren't quite as many doorbusting discounts, at least some anime movies are included in the Blu-ray deals. New all-time low prices are limited to a spread of Studio Ghibli movies, Naoka Yamada's The Colors Within, and, for whatever reason, most of the Evangelion Rebuild movies. Many tears have been shed across this group.

Crunchyroll Knocked $20 Off Annual Mega Fan Subscriptions

If you’re also on the streaming wave, Crunchyroll dropped a Black Friday deal seemingly out of nowhere. $20 off a full year of Mega Fan Crunchyroll is pretty much nothing, I know, but it does give you access to the extra 15% discount in the Crunchyroll Store as well as 12 months of unlimited anime streaming. If you’d already pay for it, might as well get it for cheaper.

The Cheapest Electric Bike Black Friday Deals for Adults Will Cost You Well Under $500

28 novembre 2025 à 23:30

It's time to retire that bike of yours and upgrade to electric! Just a few years earlier you wouldn't be able to find an electric bike for under $1,000. Although there are still plenty of premium brands that still sell ebikes for well above this threshold, it's no longer an accurate blanket statement.

For Black Friday, several eBikes are down to egregiously low prices, some well under $500. Chinese brands offer excellent value for what you get, as long as you don't overpay for one of their entry level ebikes. That's why it's best buying directly from the manufacturer off AliExpress instead of going through Amazon or a personal website where they'll just charge you more money to make up for all the marketing fees and other BS.

The deals below stand out for the following reasons: 1) they're a lot less expensive than buying the exact same bike off 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 $420

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 pretty mod-friendly in case you wanted to do your own upgrades.

Luckeep X1 Lite 750W Electric Bike for $435

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.

UrLife E20 Lite 750W Electric Bike for $276

The UrLife E20 Lite is the least expensive ebike in this roundup as well as the lightest. Whereas the Luckeep X1 Lite weighs 70 pounds and the Amyet V9-G60 tops the chart at 77 pounds, the E20 Lite comes in at a modest 60 pounds. It's also equipped with a tamer 750W brushless motor with a peak rating of 1,000W, so the top speed is limited to a still respectable 20mph. The 48V 13AH (624Whr) battery, while being the smallest capacity battery in the roundup, has the best range at up to 80 miles, most likely because of the lighter weight and less power-hungry motor.

HeyBike has an office here in the United States, but they are actually a Chinese brand similar to the other listed above.

Electric Scooter Deals Starting at $109

The LADPED electric scooters are solid entry level options that are meant for adults. Both models are equipped with a peppy 350W brushless motor that can push the scooter at speeds of up to 19mph. The LP80 is equipped with a 36V 10.5aH battery that lasts up to 18 miles on a single charge. The LP60 has a much smaller 36V 5.2AH battery that will give you half that range. Both scooters weigh about 34 pounds (the LP60 is a bit lighter because of the smaller battery) and can be folded for easier transport and storage. They're equipped with standard 8.5" maintenance free honeycomb tires which are good for smooth, paved surfaces.

I've Rounded up All of the Best 4K Movie Deals for Black Friday 2025

28 novembre 2025 à 23:03

With streaming prices rising steadily, 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 Black Friday. 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.

Featured in this Article

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 Game of Thrones, Friends, Dragon Ball Super, and Twin Peaks are all on sale now for the lowest prices they've been all year. Grab them before Black Friday ends.

And for upcoming releases, check out our roundup of upcoming 4K UHD and Blu-ray movies and TV shows.

Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection is up For Preorder, and it's Cheapest at TCGPlayer For Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 23:00

Well Black Friday is officially underway despite it starting over a week ago across the internet, but not every deal is what it seems. Mega Venusaur ex is getting it's own Premium Collection because it's the best start Pokémon (fight me), and it's available on Amazon right now, but hold that thought.

Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection Box

The problem is it's $80 price tag, just yesterday it was $63.75 down from $79.99, now it's down from $94.90. In a period of time when we're forced to buy sealed product for more than MSRP (In this case, $39.99), it's my job to make sure you're paying a little premium as possible.

TCGPlayer also has listings available for Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection starting from $61.59. They're also having a Cyber Weekend event that gives buyers 10% cashback as account credit on any purchase.

If you're a subscriber, this bumps up to 13% on-top of your existing subscriber cashback for a total of 16% cashback between now and the end of Cyber Monday. That means you'll get from $6.15 to $9.85 cashback credit just for buying this collection at the best price currently. Win-win, right?

Inside the Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection is:

  • 2 x Mega Evolution Boosters
  • 3 x Destined Rivals Boosters
  • 3 x Journey Together Boosters
  • Mega Venusaur ex Giant Lenticular promo card
  • Mega Venusaur ex promo card

Mega Venusaur ex is actually pretty playable when combined with Meganium from Mega Evolutions (There's an awesome looking Stamped promo version too), with it's ability allowing it to transfer energy between Pokémon combined with Meganium's ability that doubles Grass energy in play. That means Mega Venusaurs Jungle Dump attack, costing four grass energy, can be set up and used in one turn if you play this strategy right. That's 240 damage set up instantly, and is frankly mad.

The Only Way to Get a Peacock Black Friday Deal This Year Is Through Walmart

28 novembre 2025 à 23:00

Walmart's Black Friday sale has been all over the place so far, but there's one clear highlight: For a limited time, new subscribers can pick up one year of Walmart+ for half the price. So instead of paying $98, you'll pay just $49 for the first 12 months of your subscription.

This may not seem like a streaming deal at first glance, but once you factor in the benefits of a Walmart+ membership, this discount starts to look pretty great. With a membership, you'll get a choice between a Peacock Premium subscription or a Paramount+ subscription in addition to free shipping and grocery delivery. Now that we know Peacock isn't bringing back their killer Black Friday deal from last year, this is one of the best Black Friday streaming deals for anyone who shops at Walmart.

Streaming Service Savings Breakdown

Paramount+ does have a Black Friday deal, dropping the monthly price to $2.99, but it only lasts two months. Peacock had one of the best Black Friday deals last year, offering a full year with ads for $19.99, but we haven't heard a peep from the service in 2025. So with that in mind, I think it's worth breaking down the savings you'll get on just those subscriptions with this deal:

  • Peacock Premium (no ads) - $109.99 annually (Save $60.99 with Walmart+)
  • Paramount+ Basic (with ads) - $59.99 annually (Save $10.99 with Walmart+)

It's pretty clear just looking at the prices that choosing the Peacock Premium subscription will net you the most savings. But it's worth noting that Walmart+ actually gives you the option to change your subscription for free every 90 days. So if you start with Peacock Premium, you can switch to Paramount+ about three months in. With an annual subscription you can swap services up to four times before the year is up.

What's on Peacock?

Peacock isn't as well known as a Netflix or Disney+, but it does have some good originals. Most recently there is The Paper, a spin-off series from the creators of The Office. There's also the popular mystery series Poker Face that I binged myself and loved. Peacock also has exclusive rights to movies from Universal and Focus Features (including things like Jurassic World Rebirth). If you've never had a Peacock subscription before, it has a surprisingly deep catalog of things for you to stream.

What's on Paramount+?

Paramount+ is the home of pretty much anything Paramount. That means you'll find things like the Mission: Impossible movies, Transformers, and the entirety of the Star Trek Universe. It is also the new home of South Park, meaning it's the only place you can stream new episodes of season 28 as they air. You'll also find a roster of Nickelodeon shows spanning decades, from SpongeBob and iCarly to Rocko's Modern Life. Walmart+ only gets you access to a basic subscription, however, so you'll need to deal with ads. (And if you want access to shows like Yellowjackets or Dexter, you'll need a Paramount+ Premium plan that includes Showtime, which is, obviously, not included in this Walmart+ deal.) There is currently a free trial of Paramount+ you can try if you want to test it out before committing to an annual subscription.

eBay Still Has the Best Meta Quest 3 Black Friday Deal at Nearly 30% Off Retail Price

28 novembre 2025 à 22:50

We are through much of Black Friday and the best Meta Quest deal is still one that I first spotted last week. The Meta Store on eBay is offering refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headsets for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. Since these headsets are reconditioned and shipped by Meta itself, it's not much different from buying a brand new one. Although there are other Meta Quest deals, none are as enticing as this one.

Refurb Meta Quest 3 for $359.99

Includes extended 2 year warranty

The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset and is a significant upgrade compared to its less expensive Quest 3S sibling. The two share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. I own it myself (and I reviewed it for IGN) and have logged over a thousand hours in Beat Saber alone.

TL;DR:

  • Quest 3 has sharper resolution (2064x2208 vs 1832x1920)
  • Quest 3 has better lens array (pancake vs fresnel)
  • Quest 3 has wider FOV (104°/96° vs 96°/90°)
  • Quest 3 has higher storage capacity (512GB vs 128GB)
  • Same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
  • Same Touch Plus controllers
  • Same 120Hz refresh rate
  • Same Mixed reality passthrough functionality
  • Same tetherless and tethered functionality

All of the Harry Potter Interactive Illustrated Editions Are on Sale for Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 22:45

There are a lot of different versions of the Harry Potter books. There's the original hardcovers, paperbacks with stencilled edges, and even a full-on Hogwarts trunk filled with the books you can buy. If you're looking for a gift to buy the Potter fan in your life while Black Friday deals are on, it can be a little overwhelming to decide exactly what set of books is worth purchasing for their collection. If you're buying for someone who has already read the entire series multiple times over, however, I'd suggest going with the illustrated editions that Amazon currently has in its buy 2, get 1 free book sale today.

Surprise, surprise, though, there are actually two different illustrated editions to choose from! There's the larger hardcovers (illustrated by Jim Kay) and the interactive illustrated editions (from MinaLima). Of the two, only the interactive illustrated editions are all included in Amazon's promotion.

Harry Potter Interactive Illustrated Edition Sale

Amazon's buy 2, get 1 free sale is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is add three items to your cart and the least expensive of the three will be discounted from the final price at checkout. Since there are currently four of the illustrated interactive editions available, you'll need to choose which three to add to your cart to get the discount. Whatever you choose, you'll be looking at an additional $21 off by purchasing three at once. Since each of these books is already reduced in price, that comes out to $89.90 for the full collection of four if you buy them all at once.

As you may have noticed, only the first four books in the series have gotten the interactive illustrated treatment so far. The first three books feature illustrations and papercraft from MinaLima while the Goblet of Fire was taken over by Karl James Mountford (Illustrator) and Jess Tice Gilbert (Designer). This discrepancy between artists is due to MinaLima announcing that she wasn't going to continue with the project. The most recent edition, The Goblet of Fire, was the first new book in this line of special editions since 2023 and was released a only a month ago in October 2025. The change in artists means that there are still plans to finish giving the rest of the series the same treatment in the coming years.

What is the "Interactive" element of these illustrated editions?

I actually own all of the MinaLima editions and have had the chance to read through them myself. The interactive element here refers to papercraft hidden within the pages. These are essentially illustrations that spin, open up, or can be played with in some way. It actually makes for a really fun experience as you make your way through the story. The only issue I've had with it is that it's not really meant to be used too heavily. The paper elements are obviously quite fragile and this isn't a book that you're supposed to be reading over and over again. As a collector's item and an occasional read, however, they are pretty cool. For an idea of what to expect you can check out some of the interactive elements featured in my copy of The Sorcerer's Stone.

Is Now the Best Time to Buy These Books?

Right now, this is the best deal on these books anywhere. It's certainly possible that prices could drop further on Cyber Monday, but it's unlikely that this buy 2, get 1 free promotion will still be around by then. Amazon recently dropped a bunch of new book deals for its Black Friday sale, so this is as good as it's going to get.

That being said, Amazon's "3 for 2" sale offers a unique opportunity to save on the entire collection. Even if Amazon further discounts the individual titles, you'll most likely end up saving the same amount as you would purchasing now. This type of deal is especially great for buying full collections at once, which we've seen with the the Lord of the Rings illustrated editions and popular book box sets that are eligible for the discount.

After Silksong DLC, Team Cherry Is Thinking About Making a Brand New Game Rather Than Hollow Knight 3 — Their Only Time Concern Is a Morbid One: 'Death'

28 novembre 2025 à 22:40

Team Cherry has revealed it’s thinking about making a brand new game rather than a Hollow Knight 3 — but admitted that their only time concern is “death.”

Co-founders Ari Gibson and William Pellen took seven years to make Silksong, the hotly anticipated follow-up to breakout hit Hollow Knight — although they didn’t plan to. During a sweeping interview with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, in which the duo confirmed plans for Silksong DLC, talk turned to what’s next.

It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen are thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all.

“... we do have other games that we plan to make,” Gibson said. “The only time concern really is — and we’ve talked about this before — death. It’s not that far off if you spend seven years per project, and potentially add another two. So it’d be nice to do a few more games. Apparently our timeframe still allows us to fit a few more in. Short of an unexpected tragedy.”

It’s a grim thought, but one that's been on the minds of a number of high profile video game developers. In 2023, ahead of the release of Starfield, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard said The Elder Scrolls 6 may be the last game in the fantasy series he makes, given how long the Microsoft-owned studio takes to make its games.

“And then as we look to an Elder Scrolls 6, that is one where... I probably shouldn't say this, but if I do the math, I'm not getting any younger,” Howard said. “How long do people play Elder Scrolls for? That may be the last one I do. I don't know.”

In May, 62-year-old Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima revealed he had thought about his own mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic, during which he became very sick. “Turning 60 was less of a turning point in my life than my experiences during the pandemic,” he said. “I fell seriously ill at that time, and also had an eye operation. Until then, I didn’t think I was old, you know? I just didn’t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live.

“But then I became sick, and I couldn’t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, ‘Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?’ Perhaps I have 10 years?”

Kojima even put a number of ideas on a USB stick and gave it to his assistant during the pandemic "kind of like a will," at a time when he was worried about his studio, Kojima Productions, and making sure the staff would continue to get paid if he was unable to make games.

As for Team Cherry, Gibson and Pellen said whatever they end up doing next, whether it’s a brand new game or Hollow Knight 3, it’ll be along similar lines to the games the studio has made before.

“We have said we’ll go elsewhere as well,” Gibson said. “Although we’ve also said those experiences will still be about exploring big worlds full of weird characters and giant bosses and whatnot. So there would be a through line there that people will be familiar with. That’s not to say we won’t return to these Hollow Knight worlds. We do have ideas around what forms those would take. But we also don’t want to be exclusively people that make Hollow Knight.”

Elden Ring and Its Shadow of the Erdtree Edition for PS5 Have Received Huge Discounts for Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 22:21

Elden Ring has gotten one of the best video game discounts that's popped up during this year's Black Friday sale. At the moment, the base game on PS5 is down to $19.99 at Amazon, while the Xbox Series X version is down to just $15 – its lowest price yet.

That's not all, though, as the Shadow of the Erdtree edition for PS5, usually listed with a huge $79.99 price tag, has dropped back to its lowest price yet of $39.99. Tarnished, if you've yet to become Elden Lord, now is the best time to do it.

Elden Ring won Game of the Year back in 2022 – and earned a glowing 10/10 IGN review, to boot. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion also earned a 10/10 review score from IGN. Needless to say, they're both absolutely stellar picks that you're sure to have a blast immersing yourself in.

If you're craving even more after playing the main game - and its expansion, if you opt for that edition - FromSoft's co-op multiplayer outing, Elden Ring Nightreign, is also on sale right now during Black Friday. It's currently marked down to $34.99 at Amazon. So, if you want, you could set yourself up with hours and hours of Elden Ring fun over the holidays.

For those looking to add even more video games to their library while the Black Friday sale is still going on, there's an abundance of discounts to look through. We've broken down some of the best gaming deals available right now from PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo so you can stock up on the best offers from your favorite platforms.

The Baseus 20,800mAh 145W Power Bank Drops to $40 for Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 22:10

If you're looking for a power bank that can handle the demands of even the latest and most power hungry gaming handhelds at a great price, check out this popular Black Friday deal. Amazon is offering the Baseus 20,800mAh Power Bank with 145W of Power Delivery for just $40 shipped after applying coupon code "Q4PSW5C3". You don't need to be a Prime member. Baseus makes good power banks and I recommend them as a less expensive alternative to Anker.

Baseus 20,800mAh 145W Power Bank for $40

The Baseus power bank has a 20,800mAh or 77Whr battery capacity. Factoring in a roughly 80% power efficiency rating (which is about standard for power banks), this power bank will charge a Steam Deck (40Whr) or Asus ROG Ally (40Whr) from empty to completely full 1.5 times, an Xbox Ally X (80Whr) 0.8 times, a Legion Go S (55Whr) about 1.1 times, and a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 (20Whr) about 3 times. You can see why a smaller 10,000mAh power bank might be fine for the Switch but is insufficient for the more power hungry handheld gaming PCs.

The power bank is equipped with four ports: two USB Type-A ports that can deliver 33W each and two USB Type-C ports that can deliver 100W each. The power bank supports a total maximum output of 145W. So, for example, if you were using both USB-C ports, one port could deliver 100W and the other power would then be capped at 45W.

The 100W of maximum power output is more than enough for every handheld gaming PC released so far. The Steam Deck supports up to 45W of charging, the Asus ROG Ally up to 65W, the Xbox Ally X and Legion Go 2 up to 100W, and the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 between 20W and 30W. You should be able to charge all of these gaming handhelds at their fastest rate while you're playing games at the same time, even on Turbo settings.

Here's Our First Look at Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's Techmarine Class — Complete With PNG File Name Easter Eggs

28 novembre 2025 à 21:46

We finally have our first look at Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s new class, the Techmarine, as well as an image of its Omnissian Axe.

Publisher Focus Entertainment released one screenshot of the Omnissian Axe, below, as well as an image showing off the Techmarine model from multiple angles.

The Techmarine is set to hit Saber Interactive’s explosive third-person action game as part of Patch 12 early next year. Its Omnissian Axe is a new melee weapon — a halberd-style weapon that comes with its own set of unique animations, finishers and progression, Focus confirmed in a blog post.

Meanwhile, the Techmarine has a Servo-Gun ability. Activating it will enable the gun to automatically engage enemies. The new class also has a passive ability to restore Tarantula Sentry Guns that can spawn on existing PvE levels. It all sounds pretty powerful.

As has become Space Marine 2 tradition, Focus popped fun little Easter eggs in the PNG file names for the Techmarine and its Omnissian Axe. The Omnissian Axe PNG is called ‘toothpick,’ and, brilliantly, the Techmarine PNG is called ‘01100110_01101001_01101110_01100101_00100000_01110011_01101000_01111001_01110100.’

Fans were quick to work out that this binary sequence actually translates to a phrase: "fine shyt."

  • 01100110 = f
  • 01101001 = i
  • 01101110 = n
  • 01100101 = e
  • 00100000 = (space)
  • 01110011 = s
  • 01101000 = h
  • 01111001 = y
  • 01110100 = t

If you’re not into Warhammer 40,000, that might be a tad confusing, but it will make most fans of the grimdark setting smirk. For the uninitiated, a Techmarine is a Space Marine engineer-type class who's a big fan of the Cult Mechanicus as well as their Chapter. They’re big on technology and specialize in soothing the machine spirits of wounded war engines, such as tanks and Dreadnoughts. All those bits and bobs coming out the Techmarine’s back are its servo-arm, mechadendrite, and a shoulder-mounted forge bolter.

Focus wouldn’t say which Traitor Legion the Chaos Techmarine will be associated with in PvP. Expect more on that soon.

In August, Focus revealed plans for Space Marine 2 patches all the way up to 15, taking fans to the end of the second quarter of next year (June 2026). The Techmarine is set for release during the first quarter of 2026, a new Battle Barge expansion is due during the same period, and a new Siege map is planned for Q2 2026.

Of course, Saber Interactive is also working on Space Marine 3, although it’s insisted ongoing Space Marine 2 support and the sequel are "definitely not competing for resources."

If you're hunting for the best offers this week, we're actively rounding up the strongest Black Friday deals on video games, tech, and more. You can find all our top picks and price drops in our full Black Friday hub, or check out our relevant pages for PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox deals.

This Fun Magic: The Gathering Commander Deck Is Reduced For Black Friday

28 novembre 2025 à 21:45

Black Friday is here, and Magic: The Gathering fans can grab all sorts, including Collector Boosters, at a discount - but this Commander Deck is worth a look.

Sultai Arisen comes from the Tarkir: Dragonstorm set, and Amazon has lopped 21% off of the list price to bring it down to $44.91. Looking for a new deck to try, or your first taste of the Commander format? This could be ideal for you.

This Commander Deck Is Under $45 For Black Friday

There are five Tarkir Dragonstorm Commander Decks, with each representing a three-color combination of the Magic color pie.

Sultai is black, green, and blue, meaning you get some graveyard recursion, some big creatures, and slick control opportunities all in one.

Its two Commander options are Teval, the Balanced Scale, a 4/4 with flying that helps you build your lands from the graveyard and create Zombie Druids, and Kotis, Sibsig Champion, which also brings cards from the graveyard to power himself up.

Teval is worth around $12 on its own, while other cards of value include the $7 Dauthi voidwalker and $6 Colossal Grave-Reaver. Add to that Life from the Loam ($6) and Teval’s Judgment ($10) and that’s a decent package in terms of value as well as gameplay.

Looking for more Commander Decks from the Tarkir set? Good news - a bundle of all five is discounted, too, including Temur Roar - the deck that occasionally goes for much more than the others.

For more on Magic: The Gathering, check out a hefty discount on a Final Fantasy 6 Commander Deck, one of my personal favorite precons for new players, and even a big saving on Final Fantasy booster boxes.

The $20 Cordless Electric Air Duster Black Friday Deal Is No Longer Reserved for Amazon Prime Members

28 novembre 2025 à 21:30

Keeping a tidy desk doesn't have to be labor intensive or expensive. Compressed air canisters used to be the standard but nowadays there is a better way. Most electric air dusters under $50 on Amazon are pretty much identical, so I'd recommend just getting whichever one is least expensive.

For Black Friday, Amazon is offering the JVSCAM Cordless Rechargeable Electric Air Duster (Air Blower) for just $19.98 after coupon code "U6C8Z5P7". Although I've seen this deal in the past, it is usually reserved only for Amazon Prime members. During Black Friday, it's available for everyone.

JVSCAM Cordless Electric Air Duster for PC for $19.99

The JVSCAM cordless rechargeable electric air duster is a fairly straightforward device. An internal fan spins at up to 130,000RPM to move an appreciable amount of air. A nozzle funnels the air into a tight, high-velocity stream that's more than strong enough to kick up layers of dust that's been sitting on top of your computer components. It has three speed settings, although I would recommend keeping it at the max speed for optimal results. You also get four different sized nozzles, including a narrow funnel for tight spaces like between your keyboard's keys, and a wider nozzle for AoE damage.

The best thing about an electric duster as opposed to a compressed air canister is that it isn't disposable. It's rechargeable via the included USB-C cable, and its battery lasts more than long enough for your PC maintenance. And that's not all it's good for; I use a similar duster for all kinds of cleaning, including cleaning my coffee grinder, drying my dog, blowing leaves, and killing spiders.

The LEGO Pac-Man Arcade Set Is the Best New Toy Deal at Amazon Today

28 novembre 2025 à 21:28

Amazon has dropped its new LEGO deals for Black Friday, which includes the intricately-designed 2,651-piece Pac-Man Arcade set, currently down to $188.99 (30% off), its lowest price ever according to camelcamelcamel. If you've had your eye on other sets, make sure to check out other retailers like Target or go directly LEGO to see its specific Black Friday deals.

LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade On Sale For Black Friday

Licensed LEGO gaming builds are plentiful these days, and the more than 12-inch high, 10-inch wide Pac-Man Arcade set is one of the most detailed and impressive we've ever assembled, and filled with a ton of Easter eggs. By turning the crank on the side, the Pac-Man and Ghosts on the screen will actually move, and the figures on top will rotate. It even has a light-up coin slot – an awesome detail that recreates that old-school arcade feel.

More LEGO Black Friday Deals at Amazon

Amazon's LEGO Black Friday sale also has a few other great licensed sets, like the Star Wars Battle Droid buildable figure and the Disney Cruella De Vil car. And there's a tidy 30% discount on a LEGO build of NASA's Mars Perseverence rover.

LEGO Sets Retiring Soon That Are On Sale

Amazon also is also discounting a handful of LEGO sets that are retiring soon, so now's the perfect time to get in on those. I may finally pull the trigger on the LEGO Star Wars Droideka, myself.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Pokemon Legends Z-A Bundle Is Hard To Find This Black Friday - Here's Where You Can Get One

28 novembre 2025 à 21:08

If there’s one thing that looks to be a popular item this Black Friday, it’s the Nintendo Switch 2.

We’ve already covered why the console is unlikely to see discounts (TL;DR, it’s super popular), but if you’re looking for bundle options, then Nintendo is offering two of its own.

While the Mario Kart World Bundle has been around since the console’s launch, the more recent Pokémon: Legends Z-A bundle is getting tough to find ahead of the Holiday shopping season. In fact, we’ve been watching stock dwindle all day, but there’s one place that still has it - Gamestop.

Gamestop Still Has The Nintendo Switch 2 Pokemon: Legends Z-A Bundle In Stock On Black Friday

The good news is that the console is in stock, but the bad news is that there’s no additional discount on the bundle right now.

You’re saving around $20 from buying the bundle rather than getting the game and console separately, though, and hey - it’s in stock, not something we can say about other big retailers right now.

We’ll keep checking stocks throughout Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday, so be sure to check back.

In IGN’s review of Pokémon: Legends Z-A, Rebekah Valentine said, “Pokémon Legends: Z-A finally feels like Game Freak hitting its stride in Pokémon’s 3D era, with a fun setting to explore, a well-written story, and a total battle system overhaul that works surprisingly well.”

She awarded the game 8 out of 10, making it a great game to start your Switch 2 library with.

Already got the console and just want the game? Good news - you can save 20% today only at WOOT.

OnePlus 13 Deal

The OnePlus 13 is our favorite smartphone, and for Black Friday, 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 Black Friday deal to grab while it’s still live.

Apple iPhone Deals

Apple is offering gift cards on select iPhone 16 models, and you can score $50 off an iPhone 16 from Best Buy. Beyond that, you'll need to look to carriers for iPhone 17 deals, as we've detailed below.

See our review of the iPhone 16.

Carrier Deals

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 Black Friday. 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 Flip7 with select trade-ins. Both new and existing customers are included in this deal.
