Early Black Friday deals are in full force at Amazon and Best Buy today, but where to begin? Well Xbox Controllers are on sale in most flavors across the big box retailers, including the Sky Cypher clear controller that sets off my Gameboy Pocket and Color nostalgia off something chronic. There's plenty of gaming deals to choose from too, such as FC 26 going for $29.99 on PS5, Switch 2 and Xbox.
There's two Meta Quest 3S deals going too, same price of $249.99 but one comes with The Walking Dead at Best Buy and the other comes with Cardboard Heroes, which is locked to Amazon. The biggest deal for me today is The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy box set. It's got the theatrical and extended cuts in 4K for just north of $15 off, yes please! Let's get straight into today's early Black Friday deals:
Nintendo Switch 2 (Import) with Mario Kart World for $436
If you're not looking at getting the Sky Cipher or any of the Breaker series controllers, we can't be friends. These are all usually over $70, so this is a cracking time to pick one or all of them up for your collection. The standard Carbon Black and Robot White controllers are available too for $15 less, but where's the fun in that?
FFVII-Rebirth for $29.99? Say less. That's a banging early Black Friday deal, not to mention Silent Hill f avoiding the new game tax at $49.99 instead of $69.99. Deals aren't just locked to PlayStation 5 either, with Battlefield 6 being available on Xbox Series X too. By the way, this is the better Meta Quest 3S bundle, but that's just my opinion. Which is correct. Sorry not sorry.
Beats Studio Pro for $169.99, game over. That's a lovely $30 saving, but Sony WH-10000XM6 is over $60 off. They feature best-in-class noise cancelation and are all around beasts, but they're more than double the price of Beats Studio Pro, so it all depends on your budget. Either will work great with the ridiculous deal that is the Nvidia RTX 5060-powered DyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme pre-built gaming PC for under $800. Granted, it's not the most powerfull DLSS 4-enabled GPU, but it has it, which means 1080p gaming with decent frame rates is well within reach.
Dragon Quest I, II and III HD-2D remakes are all out now on Nintendo Switch, with I and II also out on Nintendo Switch 2. Nintendo Switch titles can be played on Nintendo Switch 2 if you want the full game on-cart rather than a game-key card, which requires a sizable content download to play. Of course you'll miss out on graphical fidelity and other upgrades.
Imagine getting Pokémon TCG Booster Bundles for free, or paying $20 to $30 for an Elite Trainer Box, cool right? Well it's a real deal, and here's how to do it. Start by applying for a Amazon Visa card, then if accepted you'll get an instant $60 Amazon gift card added to your account, which means free Booster Bundles, Premium Collections and Booster Blisters.
If you're after something more expensive and want to knock the price down before using the $60 gift voucher, you'll need an AMEX or Discovery card. By paying $1 on your Pokémon TCG items in your basket, you'll receive an automatic discount up to 50%. So whatever you need to pay after the gift card is cut in half. That's not bad when you're talking Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Boxes. If this discount doesn't apply, check the loyalty page on Amazon to see if you're eligible.
You read that right, everything is eligibe too. Buy something, get 10% back as in-store credit. With sets like Mega Evolution and Phantasmal Flames finding new floors, this is 100% the best time to fill those gaps in your binder. The sale kicks off on Black Friday, November 28. and ends on Cyber Monday December 1.
The Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra line of Resin printers are perfect for anything that needs intricate detail, especially the 16k model, although the standard ultra does an amazing job too. The Saturn 4 Ultra and Mercury V3.0 wash is a perfect starter kit for anyone wanting to get into the hobby.
What if I said I printed a full sized Stormtrooper helmet on a Neptune 4 Max in one go? It was such a fun project and this printer can handle some insane projects on the large and small side. In fact all of these FDM 3D printers are great for printing anything practical. I'm looking at you cosplayers.
