For many of us TV reviewers, the current pinnacle of television technology is OLED. It delivers inky blacks, incredible contrast, and pixel-level brightness control. Most of the time when we’re talking about OLED TVs, we’re thinking about the LG G5, Sony Bravia 8 II, Samsung S95F, or Panasonic Z95B — the cream of the crop. Those cost thousands of dollars. But the more budget-friendly LG B5, which is now less than $900 for a 55-inch model, is joining the conversation as one of the best TV deals I’ve seen during Cyber Monday. You can get it for $896.99 at Amazon and $899.99 at Best Buy (originally $1,499, but regularly $1,100 or more before November).
When I first saw the B5 up close earlier this year, I was impressed and a bit intrigued. Primary RGB Tandem display technology featured in the high-end LG G5 rightfully stole the show, but the WOLED-based B5 was still able to display a great-looking image, and do it at a lower price than any other OLED I’ve seen so far.
Now that we’ve reached Cyber Monday, the time is right for the B5 to truly shine. Sure, it doesn’t get as bright as the C5, G5, or other OLEDs from competitors. But according to review site RTINGS, it still is capable of over 800 nits in HDR, which is more than enough in a light-controlled environment, such as a living room with curtains. Its colors are accurate and look realistic, and thanks to its four HDMI 2.1 inputs and a 120Hz native refresh rate with VRR support, the B5 is a great gaming TV.
If you’ve been considering adding an OLED TV to your home, but have balked at the cost of most models out there, the 55-inch LG B5 is an ideal option for less than $900.
If you’re an iPad user who prioritizes portability, you’re in luck. Amazon and Best Buy have both discounted the latest-generation iPad Mini to $349 ($150 off) in its base Wi-Fi configuration, which is the lowest price we’ve seen on the miniature tablet since it launched last year. You can also pick up the 256GB model with Wi-Fi at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $449 ($150 off), its lowest price to date.
iPad Mini (2024)
The seventh-gen iPad Mini comes with Apple’s A17 Pro chip and support for Apple Intelligence. It’s also compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and offers faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds. Read our review.
The 2024 iPad Mini has an 8.3-inch 60Hz LCD display, portrait-oriented webcam, and the same overall design of its predecessor. With this difference: the tablet is the first model to be compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, which magnetically attaches to its side to pair and charge. The premium Pencil allows you to assign an action that’s executed when you squeeze the stylus.
The latest iPad Mini is equipped with the A17 Pro processor, which makes it powerful enough to handle the multi-window multitasking system introduced with iPadOS 26 earlier in the fall. It’s also compatible with Apple Intelligence, which may become more helpful as features continue to roll out. The Mini’s small size makes it a great choice for reading in bed, or as a travel companion when space is tight.
If you do need more power, Best Buy and Amazon have knocked the 256GB 11-inch M5 iPad Pro’s price to an all-time low of $899 ($100 off).
December is kicking off with a bang. Cyber Monday is today, and it’s one of your last chances to score major deals before the holiday rush plows us all over. It’s a great moment to snag gadgets — many of which have been tested by The Verge — at (or close to) all-time lows if you missed out over the weekend, or if you methodically waited to shop until now.
We’ve combed through the thousands of deals and gathered the best available below, so you can make the most of what’s left. Not only that, but we’ve also created some budget- and category-specific roundups: looking for items under $50? We’ve got you covered. Only interested in TVs or Apple gear? We’ve got those, too.
The recently released AirPods Pro 3 have a new design that improves their fit, superior noise cancellation, better bass, and fairly accurate heart rate sensors. Read our review.
Powered by the M4 chip, Apple’slatest 13-inch MacBook Air is faster than its predecessor and offers double the base RAM. It can also connect to two external displays with the lid open, unlike prior models, and features an improved 12-megapixel Center Stage webcam. Read our review.
Target has marked the AirPods 4 down to around $69.99 ($60 off), which is their best price to date. Apple’s latest non-Pro AirPods sound great despite their open-style build, support voice isolation for clearer-sounding calls, and have a streamlined setup process and multipoint pairing with Apple devices. The version with active noise cancellation is also on sale for $99.99 ($80 off) at Amazon. Read our review.
The AirPods Max (USB-C) are Apple’s latest pair of over-ear headphones, and they’re $399.99 ($150 off) at Best Buy and Walmart. The headphones can last up to 20 hours per charge. The AirPods Max also support personalized Spatial Audio for better performance when listening to Dolby Atmos-ready tracks. Read our review.
Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Air with the M2 processor is still a great laptop for most people, despite being a bit old, and Best Buy has discounted it to $599 ($200 off). It has the same design as the M4 MacBook Air, and comes with 16GB of RAM.
The 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 is $949 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon — the same discount as the 13-inch. It’s much the same excellent computer as the 13-inch version, just with a bigger screen, more battery life, and better speakers. Read our review.
AirPods Pro (second-gen with USB-C)
The second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with much better noise cancellation, sound quality, and onboard volume controls. The latest refresh also ships with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning. Read our review.
If you need to sizable step up in power for a Mac laptop, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro processor is down to $1,699 ($300 off) at Amazon. It has a 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD like the base M5 model, but 24GB of RAM and faster Thunderbolt 5 ports. You can also step up to a bigger and beefier 16-inch version with a 14-core / 20-core M4 Pro chip, 48GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD for $2,499 ($400 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.
The Mac Mini is one of the best bargains available if you want a lot of computing power in a wildly small desktop. The base M4 model is down to $479 ($120 off) at Best Buy and Amazon, which is just $10 shy of its all-time low. Meanwhile, the more powerful M4 Pro version is going for $1,249.99 ($150 off) at Amazon, which is also one of its better prices to date. If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, there’s no better deal for this kind of power. Read our review.
Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2025, M5)
The M5-equipped MacBook Pro is mostly a chip bump from the M4 model of 2024. But it remains an excellent choice for beginners and students in creative fields. Read our review.
You can also buy the newfangled Apple Watch Ultra 3 at Amazon with either an Ocean Band, a Trail Loop, or an Alpine Loop for $699 ($100 off). Apple’s latest wearable is its most rugged and capable to date, with a larger wide-angle OLED display, satellite and 5G connectivity, and a battery that can last up to 42 hours on a single charge (up from 36 hours on the Ultra 2). Read our review.
You can pick up the 40mm Apple Watch SE (second-gen) with GPS at Walmart starting at $129 ($120 off), which is a new low price (the 44mm variant is also on sale starting at $159). If you’re on a tight budget, the last-gen Apple Watch SE is still worth considering. It lacks some of Apple’s newer sensors and doesn’t offer an always-on display, but it remains relatively fast, given that it uses the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 8. It also provides all the essentials, including daily activity and sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, fall and crash detection, and access to the newer Vitals app in watchOS 26.
Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS)
Although the Apple Watch Series 11 is the same size as its predecessor, it features a 5G cellular modem, a display that’s twice as durable, and slightly improved battery life. Read our review.
The Apple Watch SE 3 offers some big upgrades over its predecessor, including an always-on display, allowing you to glance at the time or unread notifications. It also has Apple’s powerful S10 chip, which enables on-device Siri requests. Read our review.
The second-gen HomePod is Apple’s latest smart speaker, and you can pick one up for $269.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy right now. The great-sounding speaker can play Dolby Atmos tracks with proper separation, though you can also pair two together for even better separation. The speaker doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means your device has to be on the same network to stream music to it. You can also ask Siri to play tunes, control various smart home accessories, set timers, or answer questions, but all of those functions still require a stable internet connection. Read our review.
The latest 11-inch iPad Pro has only been out for about a month, but that hasn’t stopped Amazon from cutting the price of the 256GB / Wi-Fi model to $899 ($100 off). Apple’s newest, most powerful iPad has the same design as last year’s model, but features a faster M5 processor, which you’ll notice most when performing resource-intensive tasks like playing games. Lower storage configurations of the iPad Pro also have 12GB of RAM (up from 8GB), while all models have faster memory bandwidth. Read our review.
11-inch iPad Air M3
The new 11-inch iPad Air comes with Apple’s M3 chip and GPU upgrades. It’s available in dark gray, blue, purple, and a “starlight” cream shade. Read our review.
Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use. Its high resolution screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps. Read our review.
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black is back down to $599 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, one of the lowest prices we’ve seen this year. The upgrades to the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 are relatively minor, so you may as well save as much as possible if you want Apple’s most rugged smartwatch. The Ultra 2 comes in one size — 49mm — and is geared more toward athletic types. It also features a bright display and fantastic battery life, though the Ultra 3 can last longer between charges.
iPad Mini (2024)
The seventh-gen iPad Mini comes with Apple’s A17 Pro chip and support for Apple Intelligence. It’s also compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro and offers faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds. Read our review.

Apple is hosting a Cyber Monday sale that lets you lock in six months for just $5.99 per month, which is over 50 percent off the usual cost.

You can get a two-month subscription to Paramount Plus Essential (ad-supported) or Paramount Plus Premium (ad-free) for $2.99 until December 2nd. The deal saves you up to $20 and includes access to a catalog of over 40,000 TV shows and movies, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Naked Gun, South Park, and The Daily Show.

Sony’s latest pair of flagship headphones feature improved comfort, better noise cancellation, and the ability to charge while in use. They even fold down for travel, which can’t be said about the last-gen XM5. Read our initial impressions.
Bose’sUltra Open Earbuds are the brand’s boldest, most unique earbuds — and you can pick them up at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $199 ($100 off), their lowest price to date. Instead of sitting in your ear canal, the earbuds cling to your outer ear like a piece of jewelry. That design means you’ll always hear external noise, which isn’t ideal if you want to block out noisy coworkers; however, it’s great if you need to remain aware of your surroundings, such as when walking or riding a bike. Read our review.
The Google Pixel Buds 2A are currently on sale for an all-time low of $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store.

Significantly smaller and lighter than their predecessors, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 also offer stronger noise cancellation, a crystal clear transparency mode, and lengthy battery life. Read our review.
The second-gen QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds have dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds. They’re a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.
Now through December 1st, you can snag Sony’s WF-1000XM5 earbuds for around $228 ($101 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony’s online store, which matches the price drop we saw during Amazon’s most recent Prime Day event. Sony’s flagship earbuds improve upon the prior model with richer sound, slightly more powerful noise cancellation, and vastly superior comfort thanks to their reduced size and weight. They also come with four foam-style ear tips, offer around eight hours of battery life with ANC enabled, and carry an IPX4 rating with support for multipoint connectivity. Read our review.
Technics’ EAH-AZ100s are a premium pair of wireless earbuds currently available for an all-time low of around $219.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and B&H Photo. The earbuds’ key feature is that they support three-device multipoint audio, so you can switch between a trio of sources seamlessly. They also sound great (Technics’ app has a five-band EQ, if you’d like to make tweaks), feel comfortable to wear thanks to a slimmed-down design, and sound excellent. Read our review.
Soundcore Space One
The Space One headphones can’t compete with higher-end ANC models from Sony or Bose, but they offer great sound, marathon battery life, and active noise cancellation for under $70.
Nothing’s Ear (a) earbuds have the same general design as the company’s previous earbuds — but you can get these in a snazzy yellow. They include ANC, more than decent sound quality, and other features like multipoint for just under $100. Read our impressions.

Read our hands-on impressions.
The Fitbit Versa 4 is on sale at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy for $119.95 ($80 off), which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year. The smartwatch features heart rate, activity, sleep, blood oxygen, menstrual health, and stress tracking, as well as more than 40 exercise modes that automatically detect and track specific workouts. Although it doesn’t support ECG, it can record heart rate variability and monitor it 24/7. It also supports services like Fitbit Pay and Google Maps, extending its usefulness beyond its core fitness tracking capabilities.
The entry-level Fitbit Inspire 3 has returned to its all-time low of $69.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. The basic fitness band nails the basics, providing heart rate, sleep, exercise, blood oxygen, and menstrual health tracking. It can also provide you with a sleep score every morning, along with tips for improving your sleep. You can also remove the Inspire 3 from its band and wear it as a necklace, which is less obtrusive but disables heart rate tracking. Read our hands-on impressions.
Fitbit Sense 2
The Sense 2 delivers premium health tracking, highlighted by top-tier stress sensing via continuous EDA and heart-rate variability. It also offers strong battery life and monitors sleep, ECG, and temperature. Read our review.

It can even track over 100 activities and create a running or strength training regimen via Garmin Coach.

It can also provide a quick snapshot of your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, and more. Read our hands-on impressions.

It also features a vibrant OLED display, an estimated 10 days of battery life, and enough built-in sports modes to accurately track every part of your workout routine. Read our review.
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is an excellent complement to a Samsung smartphone, and it’s hit an all-time low of around $249.95 ($150 off) at Amazon (Best Buy and Samsung are also selling it for $279.99). The newer smart ring has a slim, lightweight design, long battery life, and, unlike competitors like the Oura Ring, doesn’t lock features behind a paywall (yet). That said, its battery lasts longer when paired with a Samsung phone, and certain features — including the ability to view your daily Energy Score — aren’t available when paired with another Android phone. Read our review.

The device also offers up to 10 hours of battery life, providing plenty of fun while on the road.
The Bravia 8 II was chosen as the “king of TV” by a panel of judges (including TheVerge’sown Nilay Patel) in Value Electronics’ 2025 shootout. The OLED TV has excellent color accuracy, a bright panel, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Roku’s latest Pro 4K TV has a 120Hz refresh rate, four HDMI ports (two 2.1 ports), full array local dimming for even brightness, and supports both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR 10 Plus for better color accuracy.

LG’s 55-inch C5 OLED is down to around $1,196.99 ($803 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and from LG’s storefront. The midrange TV is a good entry point into the world of OLED technology, offering a solid balance in terms of design, brightness, and high-end gaming features, including four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K at 144Hz with variable refresh rate tech. The C5 Series also handles glare and ambient light better than the step-down B5 Series; however, OLED panels are still not ideal for really bright rooms.

The QM8K is one of the best (and brightest) mini-LED TVs of 2025. And a 65-inch model under $1,000 is an absolute steal.
LG’s 77-inch G5 OLED is an expensive set, but you can currently snag it for $2,946.99 ($1,553 off) — one of its best prices to date — at Amazon. The high-end 4K TV delivers better brightness than the aforementioned C5, allowing you to use it in rooms that are exposed to a lot of ambient light.

If Philips Hue’s Festavia lights are outside your budget, Govee’s Christmas Lights 2 are also on sale, with the 66-foot going for an all-time low of $63.99 ($36 off) at Govee’s online storefront. You can also grab the 99-foot strand for $11 more (Govee), the longer 164-foot set for $129.99 (Amazon / Govee), or the 328-foot string for $249.99 (Amazon). The Matter-compatible lights offer an IP65 rating so you can use them indoors and outdoors, but their dro-style head LEDs aren’t as attractive as the Festavia’s. Plus, the Festavia offer nicer preset scenes.

You can buy the latest Echo Show 8 for $159.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is the best price we’ve seen on the eight-inch smart display.

The wired doorbell can record clear 2K HDR footage and store video clips locally on a microSD card, the Reolink Hub, or an FTP server.

The Dreame X50 Ultra recently replaced the X40 Ultra as our favorite mopping bot for hardwood floors, and it’s currently available for an all-time low of $799.99 (50 percent off) from Amazon and Dreame. In addition to having a higher 20,000Pa of suction power and an improved dual rubber roller system, it has a motorized “swing arm” leg that allows it to climb over higher thresholds (up to 6cm), so it can maneuver around even more spaces than its predecessor.
You can buy the Dyson 360 Vis Nav from Amazon, Best Buy, and Dyson for around $399.95 ($600 off), its best price to date. Although it lacks an auto-empty dock, the powerful robovac is one of the best robot vacuums we’ve tested for carpets, boasting a whopping 65 air watts of suction. It also features a large roller brush that can reach the edges of rooms and into corners, along with a removable 500ml dustbin. That said, it struggles with more complex floor plans, so it’s best suited to simpler setups. Read our impressions.

Its charging station thoroughly cleans and dries its mopping pads automatically upon its return, and it supports Matter, allowing you to easily integrate it into any smart home.

The Eufy Omni S1 Pro is also matching its all-time low of $699.99 ($800 off) at Amazon andfrom Anker’s online storefront (with promo code WS24T2080111).

Tapo RV30 Max Plus
Our favorite budget-friendly robot vacuum offers high-end features, including room-specific cleaning, a capable mop, carpet boost, and smart navigation. It also features an auto-empty dock.
The Ecovacs Deebot X9 Pro Omni features an extendable mop that can clean itself, just like its predecessor. However, it also features Ecovacs’ Boosted Large-Airflow Suction Technology, which optimizes the airflow path from intake to exhaust, rather than relying solely on suction power.
Sony’s Bravia Theater Bar 6 is a 3.1.2 audio system, meaning the soundbar comes with a wireless subwoofer and features multiple drivers pointed at you — and upward — for playing Dolby Atmos audio. You can also purchase the soundbar in a bundle with rear speakers if you want a more traditional surround sound setup.
JBL’s Charge 6 is marked down to an all-time low of $129.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. The powerful Bluetooth speaker carries an IP68 rating, offers up to 28 hours of playback per charge, and uses JBL’s AI Sound Boost tool to prevent distortion at higher volumes. You can also plug your phone into its USB-C port and use it as a battery pack, but JBL says it can’t be used to top off a laptop.
The JBL Flip 7 has returned to its all-time low of around $109.95 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and REI. The portable Bluetooth speaker features several notable upgrades over its predecessor, including a more rugged design, an enhanced tweeter, and an additional two hours of playtime. It also features JBL’s AI Sound Boost technology, which can boost the speaker’s volume without introducing distortion, as well as a PushLock system that lets you attach interchangeable accessories, such as the included wrist strap.
Echo Pop
The Echo Pop is one of Amazon’s smallest Alexa-enabled smart speakers. It offers a unique semisphere form factor and can function as an Eero mesh Wi-Fi extender.
The Wonderboom 4 might feature a compact design, but it still delivers big sound for its diminutive size. It also carries an IP67 rating, meaning it’s both water- and dust-resistant (it can even float if you need it to).
The Bose SoundLink Plus is on sale for $179.99 ($90 off) at Amazon, which is its best price to date. Despite being about the size of a 20-ounce water bottle, it delivers loud, impressive sound with a rugged IP67 build and USB-C charging. It supports multipoint Bluetooth connectivity and, unlike the Micro, doubles as a 15W power bank, with longer battery life that lasts up to 20 hours. Read our review.
The new Echo Dot Max is on sale for $89.99 ($10 off), its best price to date, at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target.

Bose TV Speaker

Another soundbar that delivers surprisingly full sound and Dolby Atmos performance for its size is the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar. It’s currently priced at around $699 ($200 off) for Cyber Monday at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, which is its best price to date. It sounds great with both movies and music, and has a nice slim profile that’s low enough for practically any TV.
The latest Bose SoundLink Micro is on sale for a new all-time low of $109 ($20 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The rugged Micro is the brand’s smallest Bluetooth speaker, but it still offers big sound and up to 12 hours of battery life.

Sonos Beam (second-gen)
The latest Sonos Beam fits into the middle of Sonos’ soundbar lineup. It supports Dolby Atmos through virtualized surround sound and offers eARC compatibility with newer TVs. Read our review.
The Sonos Era 100 is the company’s entry-level smart speaker, one you can grab for $169 ($50 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo. The speaker has a single woofer and two tweeters, which allows it to play music in stereo — though you’ll get a far wider soundstage by pairing two Era 100s together. You can stream music to it over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or connect it to a turntable if you pick up an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. Read our review.
You can pick up Sonos’ Era 300 at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo for $379 ($100 off), which is $20 shy of the smart speaker’s lowest price to date. It offers the same connectivity options as the aforementioned Era 100, plus the ability to play Dolby Atmos audio with surprising depth.

Sonos Roam 2
Like its predecessor, the Sonos Roam 2 is a compact and travel-friendly Bluetooth speaker that easily syncs up with Sonos’ home audio ecosystem via Wi-Fi.

With double the battery life of its predecessor and better-sounding stereo audio, the Sonos Move 2’s improvements don’t stop there. It supports line-in audio, can stream Bluetooth audio to other Sonos speakers, and more. Read our review.
Microsoft’s slightly smaller, entry-level Surface Laptop trims some of the size and a few features from its bigger 13.8-inch counterpart, but it maintains excellent battery life and solid performance. Read our review.
In addition to the base-model 13-inch Surface Laptop hitting a new low of $549.99 ($350 off) at Amazon, the same model with 512GB storage is down to $729.99 ($270 off) at Amazon.
If you want a Surface with a slightly bigger, nicer display and a higher-end Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Surface Laptop 7th Edition (13.8-inch) from 2024 is on sale for $899.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s still a great machine if you prioritize battery life on Windows and want a nice screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2304 x 1536 resolution. Read our review.
Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch
Microsoft’s latest Surface Pro is smaller, with a new design and updated keyboard. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Arm64 Snapdragon X Plus chip. Read our review.
Microsoft’s flagship 13-inch Surface Pro is also receiving a big discount, selling for as low as $749.99 ($450 off) at Microsoft with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. It’s quite a deal, though the keyboard and stylus are sold separately. The convertible tablet has great battery life and solid performance.
We’re currently testing the 14-inch HP OmniBook 5 and liking it, especially for the value it offers. It’s very affordable for a laptop with an OLED display and marathon battery life, and it’s around $519.99 ($180 off MSRP) at Amazon and direct from HP. Its base Snapdragon X1 Plus chip isn’t very speedy, but it’s manageable if you’re not going too wild on multitasking. But the star of the show is this nice 1920 x 1200 OLED panel for such a low, low price.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)
Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. The base model with RTX 5060 graphics is fairly thin at around 0.63 inches, while the highest-end model with RTX 5070 Ti is a little thicker.
The base Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop with a last-gen Intel Raptor Lake 14650HX CPU, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is $1,199.99 ($300 off) at Amazon. For a higher-end model that doesn’t skyrocket in price, the Strix G16 with AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070 Ti is $1,599.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy. Strix models are much chunkier than their ROG Zephyrus cousins, but they’re a better deal if you prioritize performance over portability.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16-inch, Intel)
Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i is a well built gaming laptop with a lovely 2.5K OLED display and a powerful RTX 5080 GPU, enough to handle 4K gaming on an external monitor. Its only major downsides are a lack of face or fingerprint unlocking and Lenovo’s tendency to pre-load some annoying bloatware.
The Lenovo Legion 7i above is one of our preferred gaming laptops if you like a beefy boy with high-end RTX 5080 graphics, but a solid alternative for less is the similarly-specced HP Omen Max 16. The Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is just $1,899.99 ($1,400 off) direct from HP. It’s also at Best Buy with a 2TB SSD for $2,559.99 ($600 off), but the one at HP is the screaming deal that you should nab before it’s gone (you can always do your own SSD upgrade later).
HP Victus 15 (2025, RTX 4050)
The Victus 15 is a popular, budget-friendly gaming laptop that now comes with RTX 4050 graphics, more RAM, and an improved 144Hz screen.
Razer’s latest and greatest version of its Blade 16 laptop returns to a thinner, more travel-friendly chassis. It comes with RTX 50-series GPU options but each configuration features an excellent OLED display. Read our review.
The closest competitor to the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, which is on sale for a new low of $599.99 ($50 off) direct from Lenovo. It’s the base model with a non-touch OLED display, 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and the power-sipping MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor. The higher-end $749 model with a touchscreen that we tested for our review is slightly better, but these kinds of Chromebooks rarely go on sale.

Nintendo’s Black Friday discounts are still available, allowing you to save $30 on several fantastic Switch titles that every owner should consider playing.

Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller is still on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy starting at $39.99 ($25 off) for Cyber Monday. It doesn’t have bells and whistles like programmable buttons or RGB lighting, but in our experience, it’s one of the most reliable controllers around. Its batteries don’t need to be swapped out very often, and that inconvenience is outweighed by not having to plug in a wire every time you want to play a game.

Seagate’s Storage Expansion Card is as fast as the Xbox’s internal storage, comes in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes, and fits into a proprietary slot without any cables.

If you have (or soon plan to buy) a Nintendo Switch 2, you may need a microSD Express card if you foresee quickly expanding beyond the console’s internal 256GB of storage, as it’s the only kind of storage you can run Switch 2 games off of. Fortunately, Samsung’s 512GB P9 is down to its lowest price yet, selling for $74.99 (was $99.99) at Amazon.
8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller
If you want something cheaper — and in some ways better — than Nintendo’s official Pro controller, there’s 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2, which works with the original Switch and Switch 2. It features TMR joysticks with trigger switches for adjusting the feel, as well as vibration and motion-control support.
Viture’s Luma Pro VR glasses — which put a 120Hz, 1,200p screen on your face — are on sale at Amazon for an all-time low of $424 ($205 off) for a limited time.

You can buy the Google Pixel 10 with 128GB of storage at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $549 ($250 off), which matches the lowest price we’ve seen on Google’s base-model handset.

Read our review.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra is still one of the best phones you can buy, even if its “Ultra”-ness is a little diminished. Two telephotos, a built-in stylus, and a big screen are the main attractions. Read our review.
Anker’s 25,000mAh power bank sports two built-in USB-C cables (one of which is retractable), plus one USB-C and USB-A port. It tops out at 165W when charging two devices simultaneously, or 130W when charging three or four.

It’s down to $53.99 at Amazon from its original $77 price.
If you’re planning on going camping next year, Amazon and Anker have marked the Solix C2000 down to $679.15 ($181 off).

Anker’s MagGo Wireless Charging Station features a MagSafe charging stand, a Qi wireless charging pad, and an Apple Watch charger, allowing you to charge three devices simultaneously. It also comes with a 40W USB-C power adapter and cable.

Nomad’s ChargeKey V2 is a six-inch USB-C cable with a loop that allows you to attach it to your keyring, and it’s available for $22 ($7 off) at Nomad.

Board game deals

You can pick up Monopoly Dealon sale for $5.59 (about $3 off) at Amazon, which is one of its best prices to date. To win in this card game, players must be the first to collect three property sets using cards that correspond to spaces on the Monopoly board. There are no dice to roll like there are in the board game, but action cards let you collect rent, steal, or swap properties to get ahead. It also takes about 45 minutes to play, which is far more approachable than an actual game of Monopoly.
Happy Salmon is currently matching its all-time low of $6.50 (about $7 off) at Amazon. It’s one of the best icebreakers at social gatherings, for both adults and parents alike, and it takes just minutes to learn and about an hour and a half to play.

Wits & Wagers, which recently received a callout in our 2025 Installer gift guide, is down to $33.99 ($11 off) at Amazon and North Star Game Studio.

Exploding Kittens (Party Pack)
In Exploding Kittens, each player draws cards until someone draws the titular Exploding Kitten. If the player doesn’t have the proper diffuse or action card, they’re out.

Update, December 1st: Updated to include several new deals, including those for the second-gen AirPods Pro and Microsoft’s official Xbox Wireless Controller.
If you’re in the mood for horror, you can catch It: Welcome to Derry on HBO Max.
If you’ve been looking for a new TV show or movie to watch, Cyber Monday is a great time snag a new streaming subscription. Right now, Disney, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV, and more are offering discounts on monthly and annual plans starting at just $2.99 a month. That means you save a bit of dough before catching the first few episodes of Vince Gilligan’s new sci-fi show Pluribus. HBO Max also has the new prequel series, It: Welcome to Derry, which follows Pennywise the Clown long before his reign of terror on the Loser’s Club.
Seeing as just about every streaming service got a price hike this year, today may be your last chance — at least for a while — to lock in the lower rates. Right now, you can sign up for six months of Apple TV for just $5.99 a month, which is over 50 percent off the usual price. An annual subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus, meanwhile, is still available for just $4.99 a month, saving you nearly $100 over 12 months. Unfortunately, neither Netflix nor Peacock is offering discounts, which means if you want to check out the latest season of Stranger Things or the new Knives Out installment, you’ll have to pay full price.
You can entertain both parents and kids with a subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus. Now through December 1st, new and returning subscribers can get an annual ad-supported subscription to both streaming services for just $4.99 a month ($8 off), saving you nearly $100 over 12 months. If you’d rather not have ads interrupting episodes of Bluey — trust me, there’s no quicker way to make your toddler throw a Muffin-level tantrum — you can also get an annual ad-free subscription to Hulu and Disney Plus for $14.99 per month ($5 off), saving you a cool $60 over the course of a year.
Both discounted plans provide access to TV shows and movies from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and the Star Wars franchise. Over on Hulu, you can watch Hulu originals like The Handmaid’s Tale and classics like Gilmore Girls, along with The Bear, Alien: Earth, and the latest season of King of the Hill. You’ll also get access to holiday favorites, including Home Alone, The Santa Clause, and The Polar Express. You can watch everything offline with the ad-free tier, too, which is handy when you don’t have access to a consistent cellular or Wi-Fi connection, like when you’re stuck at the airport.
Sports fans can also throw ESPN Unlimited into the mix with discounts on ad-supported and ad-free bundles, which you can choose from the drop-down menu when selecting your plan. A subscription to the Disney Plus, Hulu, and ESPN Ultimate Bundle is up to 44 percent off for Cyber Monday, with an annual ad-supported bundle available for $29.99 a month, down from $53.97 per month. Meanwhile, you can grab the same bundle without ads for $38.99 a month for a year (about $29 off). For those who need a refresher, ESPN Unlimited provides access to all ESPN networks and ESPN Plus, with sports like NFL, NBA, MLB, and more.
If you’re in the mood for prestige television, HBO Max is offering one of the best Cyber Monday deals we’ve seen this year. New and returning subscribers can sign up for an annual subscription to HBO Max with ads for $2.99 a month ($8 off) through December 1st, saving you about $100 over 12 months. Like Apple TV, HBO Max received yet another price hike about a month ago, so this deal is particularly welcome right now.
It’s worth noting that the deal provides access to HBO Max Basic, which only allows you to stream TV shows and movies in HD quality on up to two screens at once. If you prefer to watch in 4K, you’ll need to step up to a Premium subscription, which costs $22.99 per month and is currently not on sale. Bah, humbug! No matter which tier you go with, though, you’ll be able to watch TV shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and It: Welcome to Derry. On the movie front, you can stream James Gunn’s Superman and the horror sensation Weapons.
Before the price hike hits Paramount Plus early next year, you can save for Cyber Monday. Now through December 2nd, new and returning subscribers can sign up for any plan for two months for just $2.99 a month (up to $10 off). No matter which tier you choose, you’ll get access to over 40,000 TV shows and movies, including the latest seasons of Landman and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, along with movies like The Naked Gun reboot and Sonic the Hedgehog 3. A subscription also includes a few Showtime titles, like the original Dexter, as well as live sports, including every single UEFA Champions League game and select NFL games.
If you opt for the Premium Plan, you’ll be granted access to the full Showtime library, which includes TV shows like Dexter: Resurrection, every season of Yellowjackets, and movies like The Substance, Talk to Me, Gladiator II, and Top Gun: Maverick. A Premium plan also provides support for streaming select titles in 4K UHD with Dolby Vision or HDR10 Plus, 24/7 live CBS news via your local station, and the ability to download shows and movies for offline viewing.
Apple TV is home to TV shows like Ted Lasso, The Studio, Pluribus, and Severance, and it’s the only place you’ll be able to stream Joseph Kosinski’s F1 when it drops on December 12th. And if you have a taste for the sport, Apple TV will also be the exclusive home for Formula 1 racing beginning in 2026. In other words, it’s a great time to subscribe, especially now that new and returning subscribers can lock in six months of the service at just $5.99 a month ($7 off). Apple raised the monthly subscription price of its streaming service a few months ago, so this Cyber Monday dealis a great way to save.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for the first time at Walmart.
Plenty of Nintendo Switch games and Switch 2 accessories have gone on sale for Cyber Monday, but we didn’t expect Walmart or Amazon to offer the Mario Kart World bundle of the new console for $449.99 ($50 off). The game costs $79.99 on its own, and Nintendo’s limited-time bundle already saves you $30 compared to buying the console and game separately. Walmart’s discount effectively gets you the game for free while shaving a few bucks off the system’s price as well.
Nintendo Switch 2
The Nintendo Switch 2 has a 7.9-inch LCD display, magnetically attached Joy-Con 2 controllers, backwards compatibility with most original Switch games, and exclusive titles including Donkey Kong Bananza and Kirby Air Riders.Read our review.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to the popular original Switch, and it’s a welcome evolution rather than revolution. It has a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen, and includes a pair of magnetically attached Joy-Con 2 controllers, not to mention speedier chips and memory inside. It can play most original Nintendo Switch games, so you can port your digital or physical library without much fuss.
The system’s library is comprised of a growing number of exclusive titles, including Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Kirby Air Riders. It also supports enhanced versions of original Nintendo Switch games, including Kirby and the Forgotten Land Plus Star Crossed World, and plenty of games being released for the original Switch. The Cyber Monday deal is especially notable since the next big Switch and Switch 2 game, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, comes out this week. Read our review.
Update, December 1st, 1:45PM ET: Amazon is also offering the deal on the Mario Kart World console bundle, so we’ve added in a shopping link.

That means you have another chance to save if you’ve been too preoccupied with holiday leftovers. Be forewarned, though: stock on certain items is dwindling, and in some instances, prices are starting to creep back up. The good news is that we’ve vetted the prices and availability of every deal below, so you can shop with confidence.
If you need a place to start, the AirPods 4 are a great pair of starter earbuds, and they’re nearly 50 percent off. Amazon’s base Kindle, meanwhile, is perfect for casual readers, especially given that it’s down to its best price to date. Me? Well, I was overdue for an upgrade, so I picked up an M4 MacBook Air for a whopping $250 off. I also grabbed a copy of Astro Bot for the PS5, which has dipped below $40.
Below, you’ll find dozens of gadgets spanning a variety of categories, from inexpensive smartwatches and soundbars to TVs and the latest smart home gear.

Target has marked the AirPods 4 down to around $69.99 ($60 off), which is their best price to date. Apple’s latest non-Pro AirPods sound great despite their open-style build, support voice isolation for clearer-sounding calls, and have a streamlined setup process and multipoint pairing with Apple devices. The version with active noise cancellation is also on sale for $139.99 ($80 off) at Amazon and Target, which is about $40 more than their most recent low. Read our review.
The 15-inch MacBook Air with M4 is $949 ($250 off) at Best Buy and Amazon — the same discount as the 13-inch. It’s much the same excellent computer as the 13-inch version, just with a bigger screen, more battery life, and better speakers. Read our review.
Apple AirTags
Apple’s AirTags are unobtrusive, waterproof, and tap into the massive Find My network for out-of-range locating.
If you need to sizable step up in power for a Mac laptop, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro processor is down to an all-time low of $1,599 ($400 off) at Amazon. It has a 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, 512GB SSD like the base M5 model, but 24GB of RAM and faster Thunderbolt 5 ports. You can also step up to a bigger and beefier 16-inch version with a 14-core / 20-core M4 Pro chip, 48GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD for $2,499 ($400 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.

Read our review.
You can pick up the 40mm Apple Watch SE (second-gen) with GPS at Walmart starting at $129 ($120 off), which is a new low price (the 44mm variant is also on sale starting at $159). If you’re on a tight budget, the last-gen Apple Watch SE is still worth considering. It lacks some of Apple’s newer sensors and doesn’t offer an always-on display, but it remains relatively fast, given that it uses the same chipset as the Apple Watch Series 8. It also provides all the essentials, including daily activity and sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, fall and crash detection, and access to the newer Vitals app in watchOS 26.

The second-gen HomePod is Apple’s latest smart speaker, and you can pick one up for $269.99 ($30 off) at Best Buy right now. The great-sounding speaker can play Dolby Atmos tracks with proper separation, though you can also pair two together for even better separation. The speaker doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means your device has to be on the same network to stream music to it. You can also ask Siri to play tunes, control various smart home accessories, set timers, or answer questions, but all of those functions still require a stable internet connection. Read our review.

The speaker has a single woofer and two tweeters, which allows it to play music in stereo — though you’ll get a far wider soundstage by pairing two Era 100s together. You can stream music to it over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or connect it to a turntable if you pick up an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter. Read our review.
You can pick up Sonos’ Era 300 at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo for $379 ($100 off), which is $20 shy of the smart speaker’s lowest price to date. It offers the same connectivity options as the aforementioned Era 100, plus the ability to play Dolby Atmos audio with surprising depth. You can also use a pair of them as rear speakers in a surround sound system when connected to a Beam 2 or Arc Ultra soundbar. Read our review.
Sonos Roam 2
Like its predecessor, the Sonos Roam 2 is a compact and travel-friendly Bluetooth speaker that easily syncs up with Sonos’ home audio ecosystem via Wi-Fi. While it looks much like the original, the Roam 2 has some small quality-of-life improvements, like a separate button for Bluetooth connections. Read our hands-on impressions.
With double the battery life of its predecessor and better-sounding stereo audio, the Sonos Move 2’s improvements don’t stop there. It supports line-in audio, can stream Bluetooth audio to other Sonos speakers, and more. Read our review.
Microsoft’s slightly smaller, entry-level Surface Laptop trims some of the size and a few features from its bigger 13.8-inch counterpart, but it maintains excellent battery life and solid performance. Read our review.
In addition to the base-model 13-inch Surface Laptop hitting a new low of $549.99 ($350 off) at Amazon, the same model with 512GB storage is down to $729.99 ($270 off) at Amazon.
If you want a Surface with a slightly bigger, nicer display and a higher-end Snapdragon X Elite processor, the Surface Laptop 7th Edition (13.8-inch) from 2024 is on sale for $899.99 ($500 off) at Best Buy and Amazon. It’s still a great machine if you prioritize battery life on Windows and want a nice screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2304 x 1536 resolution. Read our review.
Microsoft Surface Pro 12-inch
Microsoft’s latest Surface Pro is smaller, with a new design and updated keyboard. It’s powered by Qualcomm’s Arm64 Snapdragon X Plus chip. Read our review.
Microsoft’s flagship 13-inch Surface Pro is also receiving a big discount, selling for as low as $749.99 ($450 off) at Microsoft with a 10-core Snapdragon X Plus chip, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. It’s quite a deal, though the keyboard and stylus are sold separately. The convertible tablet has great battery life and solid performance.
We’re currently testing the 14-inch HP OmniBook 5 and liking it, especially for the value it offers. It’s very affordable for a laptop with an OLED display and marathon battery life, and it’s just $529.99 ($170 off MSRP) at Amazon and direct from HP. Its base Snapdragon X1 Plus chip isn’t very speedy, but it’s manageable if you’re not going too wild on multitasking. But the star of the show is this nice 1920 x 1200 OLED panel for such a low, low price.
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (2025)
Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14 is the go-to choice for a portable gaming machine that’s great at regular laptop duties. It’s got a lovely OLED display, great keyboard and trackpad, and solid battery life. The base model with RTX 5060 graphics is fairly thin at around 0.63 inches, while the highest-end model with RTX 5070 Ti is a little thicker.
The base Asus ROG Strix G16 gaming laptop with a last-gen Intel Raptor Lake 14650HX CPU, RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is $1,199.99 ($300 off) at Amazon. For a higher-end model that doesn’t skyrocket in price, the Strix G16 with AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070 Ti is $1,599.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy. Strix models are much chunkier than their ROG Zephyrus cousins, but they’re a better deal if you prioritize performance over portability.
Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16-inch, Intel)
Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i is a well built gaming laptop with a lovely 2.5K OLED display and a powerful RTX 5080 GPU, enough to handle 4K gaming on an external monitor. Its only major downsides are a lack of face or fingerprint unlocking and Lenovo’s tendency to pre-load some annoying bloatware.
The Lenovo Legion 7i above is one of our preferred gaming laptops if you like a beefy boy with high-end RTX 5080 graphics, but a solid alternative for less is the similarly-specced HP Omen Max 16. The Omen Max 16 with RTX 5080 graphics, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD is just $1,899.99 ($1,400 off) direct from HP. It’s also at Best Buy with a 2TB SSD for $2,559.99 ($600 off), but the one at HP is the screaming deal that you should nab before it’s gone (you can always do your own SSD upgrade later).
HP Victus 15 (2025, RTX 4050)
The Victus 15 is a popular, budget-friendly gaming laptop that now comes with RTX 4050 graphics, more RAM, and an improved 144Hz screen.
Razer’s latest and greatest version of its Blade 16 laptop returns to a thinner, more travel-friendly chassis. It comes with RTX 50-series GPU options but each configuration features an excellent OLED display. Read our review.
The closest competitor to the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514 is the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, which is on sale for a new low of $599.99 ($50 off) direct from Lenovo. It’s the base model with a non-touch OLED display, 12GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and the power-sipping MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 processor. The higher-end $749 model with a touchscreen that we tested for our review is slightly better, but these kinds of Chromebooks rarely go on sale.

To win in this card game, players must be the first to collect three property sets using cards that correspond to spaces on the Monopoly board. There are no dice to roll like there are in the board game, but action cards let you collect rent, steal, or swap properties to get ahead. It also takes about 45 minutes to play, which is far more approachable than an actual game of Monopoly.

Ecoflow’s Rapid Pro power bank is one of the most powerful portable batteries we’ve tested, and it’s selling at an all-time low price of $149.99 ($70 off) at Amazon and from Ecoflow’s store during Black Friday. The 27,650mAh battery pack has three USB-C ports (one 140W port, plus two 65W ports), a two-foot-long retractable 140W USB-C cable — enough to charge four devices at once — and it has a maximum power output of a whopping 300W. And, yes, you’re allowed to bring this model on a plane, since it falls just below the FAA’s 100Wh limit for carry-on bags.
That speed allows you to charge a pair of 16-inch MacBook Pros from zero to 50 percent in about half an hour, with enough juice left over to charge an iPhone. The Rapid Pro power bank itself takes about 40 minutes to charge when you pair it with one 140W wall adapter, but you can cut that time nearly in half by connecting it to two power adapters simultaneously, supporting up to 280W recharging speeds. The Rapid Pro Desktop Charger that’s sold separately (not currently available in the US, it seems) lets this power bank recharge at a superfast 320W speed.
In our tests, the battery pack was able to charge an iPhone 15 Pro nearly four times before running out of power. Ecoflow claims the power bank will keep its full capacity for 300 cycles before dropping to 80 percent, which should be sufficient for most of your tech. It’s far from the most compact battery pack, but what you lose in portability you gain in raw power.
Every deals holiday, I break my brain and eyeballs scrolling through endless lists of smartwatch models so you don’t have to. Garmin has a ton of deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there are only a few that I’d be putting in my cart if I were buying for the outdoorsy person in my life.
First off, I’m a big fan of the Forerunner 265. It’s comfy, it’s slim, it’s got dual-frequency GPS, and for an OLED smartwatch it has great battery life. When I reviewed it, my only gripe was the $450 price tag. “Good news, everyone,” as Dr. Farnsworth from Futurama would say, because this model is now 33 percent off its original price, selling at $299.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. Sure, it’s a two-year-old watch, but Garmin fans tend to keep their devices for several years, the company is excellent at pushing software updates to older models, and I don’t think you’re missing out on much compared to newer watches.
Garmin Forerunner 265
Garmin’s midrange Forerunner watch has an OLED display, a week’s worth of battery life, and dual-frequency GPS for better accuracy. Read our review.
But for the super, ultra-optimized athlete in your life, Garmin’s Fenix 8 is also 21 to 25 percent off, depending on the size you get. That’s good news since the Fenix 8 starts at a whopping $1,000. The Fenix 8 adds some smart features, like messaging, but the real benefit here is you get top-of-the-line features for what the Fenix lineup cost before Garmin’s ludicrous $350 price hike.
Price will vary depending on color, size, and materials, but for maximum savings: the 43mm silver-and-whitestone option is $749.99 (25 percent off) at Amazon; the 47mm in slate gray and black is also $749.99 at Amazon; and the 51mm in slate gray and black is $849.99 (23 percent off), also at Amazon. These are the base models, but the next step up for sapphire and titanium are about $100 more.
Garmin Fenix 8
The Garmin Fenix 8 is a premium multisport watch that adds a speaker, mic, and on-device assistant for calls, timers, and voice commands. It also offers elite battery life, dual-frequency GPS, and robust sensors. Read our review.
But if those prices are still too much, may I suggest the Epix Pro? The 47mm version is 50 percent off at $499.99 right now at Amazon, while it costs $50 more at Best Buy. As with the Forerunner deal, this is a 2023 older model but my hot take is the Fenix 8 and 8 Pro (the latest and greatest) don’t add that much more as far as daily training features go.
Garmin Epix Pro
The Garmin Epix Pro comes in three sizes and features a handy flashlight, an OLED display, and multiband GPS. Plus, it lasts over a week on a single charge, which is one of the many reasons why it’s our favorite Garmin for endurance sports. Read our review.
Nintendo launched its $69.99 Super Mario Galaxy double pack for the Switch (complete with a free Switch 2 update) in October, but you can get the cartridge containing both games for $54.99 ($15 off) — the lowest price yet — at Woot. To see the discount, you have to select “New – USA Version” from the drop down menu on the product page. After that, you can add the game to your cart. It definitely beats paying $40 per game digitally.
Woot included this game in a day-long deal that expired yesterday, but we’re happy to see it discounted again — with fewer hoops for readers to jump through.
Whether you’re gaming on an original Switch or the new Switch 2, these games feature enhanced resolution, improved user interfaces, and more content. The games look much, much better than they do on the sub-HD Wii. Unsurprisingly, both games run and look better on Nintendo’s newer, more powerful hardware (Digital Foundry surmises based on its own research that they run at a full 3,840 x 2,160 resolution on the Switch 2, but with no anti-aliasing).
Our reviewer wanted more than what these improved, yet very straightforward ports offer, but they set up both new and returning players to get excited for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie coming next year.
