Daily Deals: PS5 In Stock, Save on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S for the Holidays

Christmas is only a few weeks away. There’s a better chance for you to find a great deal the earlier you start your holiday shopping; as we get closer to December 25, the price of items and shipping cost both start to go up. There are still plenty of excellent deals left over from Black Friday, as well as a few new deals that have popped up.

PS5 God of War Bundle with 2nd DualSense Controller

PlayStation 5 Disc Edition God of War Ragnarök Bundle with 2nd DualSense Controller

The PlayStation 5 gaming console might have been a *little* easier to find during the Black Friday season, but that inventory has all but dried up… until now. Fortunately, for at least a little while there’s still one other place you can get it without having to wait in a queue. Dell has this PS5 Disc Edition console bundle with God of War: Ragnarok and a second DualSense controller for $634.98. That’s essentially the same as getting all three items separately at retail price, but at least it’s available right now.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The Illustrated Edition Hardcover (Book 5)

If you buy any two Harry Potter Illustrated Edition hardcover books at Amazon, you can get a third book of lesser or equal value for free. This gives you the opportunity to pick up three of these books at a smoking price. It’s too bad there are only five Illustrated Edition books total, otherwise you could run this deal twice to get all six at a steal. However, if you buy the other two, you can always pick something else that’s part of this Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer. For example, the Dog Man kids comic books are also on sale.

Meta Quest 2 VR Headset + 2 Games for $349

$50 Off Meta Quest 2 VR Headset + 2 Games (Beat Saber & Resident Evil 4)

This Black Friday deal is still around for the holiday shoppers. The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset is normally $399.99 for the 128GB model. Walmart still has it for $50 off and two bonus games: Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4. Beat Saber is the most popular (and in my opion, the best) VR game ever and Resident Evil 4 is probably the scariest game you’ll play in VR right now. To get both would easily run you over $50.

Discounts on Nintendo Switch Consoles

Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and 3 Months of Switch Online Membership

Bonus $35 Dell eGift Card

Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition

Bonus $35 Dell eGift Card

Nintendo Switch (Neon)

The Black Friday Nintendo Switch bundle, which includes a copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and a 3 month subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, is still available at Best Buy for $299.99. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, Dell has the Nintendo Switch Animal Crossing Edition for $299.99, and you also get a bonus $35 promotional Dell egift card.

Xbox Series S for $239.99

Amazon still has the Xbox Series S for $239.99, a $60 price drop from its original $300 MSRP. That also makes it over 50% cheaper than the $500 Xbox Series X console. It might not have the same power as the Xbox Series X (it runs games at 1440p to achieve 60fps instead of native 4K), it can still play all of the same games.

2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB)

There’s a new 2022 iPad out this year, and guess what? Apple raised the base price to a whopping $449! Right now the 2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad costs only $269, a $60 price drop from its $329 MSRP and $180 less than the base model 2022 iPad. It features a 10.2″ Retina display with TruTone paired with an Apple A13 Bionic CPU and 64GB of internal storage.

2TB PS5 Compatible SSDs for Under $200

Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 6600MBps)

XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7400MBps) with Heatsink

Mushkin Vortex 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7415MBps)

It’s not too late to score a great deal on a massive 2TB storage upgrade for your PS5 console. You can’t use any old SSD and expect it to perform well on the PS5 console. You’ll want to pick up an PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid state drive with a rated 5,500MB/s read speed to match the PS5’s internal drive. Sony recommends you install an SSD that has an attached heatsink. If the SSD you purchase doesn’t include one, it’s simple enough to buy one for about $10 on Amazon and add it yourself.

1TB Nintendo Switch Micro SDXC Memory Card

Nintendo Switch Compatible

AmazonBasics 1TB U3 A2 Micro SDXC Card

AmazonBasics 512GB U3 A2 Micro SDXC Card

AmazonBasics 256GB U3 A2 Micro SDXC Card

This AmazonBasics MicroSDXC card is fully compatible with the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. It has very high-speed U3 A2 rating, which also makes it a good card for your GoPro, camera, or 4K video capable smartphone. The AmazonBasics memory card is manufactured by Longsys (Lexar). The Nintendo Switch carries a paltry 32GB of onboard storage, so if you get a 512GB or 1TB card, you’ll probably never have to worry about running out of space.

LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime for $144.99

Transforms from robot to truck

LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime 10302 1508-Piece Building Kit

Earlier this year, LEGO increased the MSRP of many of its popular building kits. The LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime (10302) was one of the sets, but this deal brings the price back down to way below the original MSRP. The total brick count is 1,508 pieces, which averages to under 10 cents per brick. That’s a solid deal, especially if you factor in the sheer awesomeness of this set. The best feature of all is the ability to transform; Optimus Prime can transform from robot to truck and back without taking the model apart.

27″ Dell G2723HN 1080p 1ms 165Hz Gaming Monitor for $199.99 + Bonus $100 Dell eGift Card

Bonus $100 Dell eGift Card

Dell G2723HN 27″ 1080p 1ms 165Hz Gaming Monitor

This deal is actually better than what we saw on Black Friday. Save $60 off the Dell G2723HN monitor and also get a bonus $100 Dell promotional eGift card that you can use on pretty much anything at Dell.com. The G2723HN is a very capable gaming monitor, thanks to its fast 1ms response time and 165Hz refresh rate. It’s also a good general all-purpose monitor thanks to its IPS panel.

Black Friday Deals That Are Still Available

Although the majority of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have come and gone, there are still some straggler deals that are definitely worth your attention. These will be the best deals you’ll find leading up to Christmas.
