The Apple Watch Is Still Only $149 at Walmart Through the Black Friday Weekend

Walmart's Black Friday deals on Apple Watches are still available through the Black Friday weekend. You can still pick up a 1st gen Apple Watch SE for only $149.00 with free shipping. That's a very low price for a watch that's jam packed with useful features and superb build quality. If you want something more current, the Apple Watch Series 8 is also on sale for $349. This deal is on the verge of selling out through; only the Product (RED) color is available, and only in the smaller 41mm watch size. The Series 8 is currently the newest generation; only the pricey Apple Watch Ultra is fancier. Walmart Black Friday Deal: Apple Watch SE for $149 Although there's a new, considerably more expensive 2nd gen Apple Watch SE that was released this year, the 1st gen Apple Watch SE is still a very relevant watch. It was released in September of 2020, making it just over two years old. It might not have all the bells and whistles of the newer models, but it is easily more th...

These Black Friday Deals on 2TB PS5 SSD Upgrades Are Worth Buying

Black Friday might have come and gone, but these deals on PS5 compatible solid state drives (SSDs) are still available through the weekend and possibly until Cyber Monday. 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. High-speed SSDs have gone down in price significantly this year, and that makes Black Friday 2022 a perfect opportunity to finally score some excellent deals on bigger 2TB storage modules for your new PS5 gaming console. The Best Black Friday PS5 SSD Deals There may be other SSD deals out there for Black Friday, but these are the SSDs we've tried ourselves and highly recommend. They also double up as outstanding boot drives for your gaming PC, in case you don't need additional storage for your PS5 console. How easy is it to install the SSD? It's extremely easy!

Black Friday Deal: Metroid Dread Is $39.99

It's rough out there today. There are a lot of Black Friday sales going on, so it can be hard to sift through it all to find the goods. If you're a Nintendo Switch owner who hasn't picked up Metroid Dread for whatever reason (no judgement!) now's a good time to correct that minor error. Amazon has Samus Aran's latest mission, a.k.a. Metroid Dread for Nintendo Switch, on sale for $39.99 for Black Friday. That's the best price we've seen yet on this game. Metroid Dread Black Friday Deal Eschewing the 3D pespective of the Metroid Prime series (and the 2.5D of the best-forgotten Metroid: Other M), Metroid Dread brings the alien surrounds back to their 2D roots. And you know what? It works wonders for this series. All you have to do is check out our 9/10 Metroid Dread review to see what the fuss is about. From said review: "Metroid Dread gets so much right after so many years that I almost feel resentful that we didn’t get this game and a few sequels...

Get a Discounted Nintendo Switch OLED with Splatoon 3 and 2nd Controller for Black Friday

As part of its Dell Black Friday , Dell has the Nintendo Switch OLED with White Joy-Cons, the recently released Splatoon 3 game, and a second wireless controller, all for only $399.99. We haven't seen very many Switch OLED deals during Black Friday (and most of the deals originated for Dell), so any discount is welcome. Splatoon 3 hasn't been discounted very much either, since the game came out very recently. Nintendo Switch OLED with Splatoon 3 and 2nd Wireless Controller for $399.99 Splatoon 3 came out a few months ago, so it's unlikely to get a big price drop. It's an excellent game that's familiy friendly, meaning everyone, including kids, can enjoy this game. It also has fun local and online multiplayer modes so everyone can get in on the action at the same time. The MGC Switchplate wireless controller is an aftermarket controller that normally retails for $39.99. It features two magnetic switchplate covers so you can choose black or white colors, dual rum...

A New Black Friday Nintendo Switch OLED Deal Just Arrived at Woot

Woot currently has the only currently available Black Friday deal on a Nintendo Switch OLED gaming console. You can get it right now for only $319.99. Mind you this is a brand new Switch OLED with the full 1 year Nintendo warranty. Woot! is a legit company that's been around for years. It is currently owned and operated by Amazon, and that's why you get free shipping if you sign in with your Amazon Prime account. Black Friday Deal: Nintendo Switch OLED for $319.99 Is the Switch OLED Worth it Over the Switch? If you can afford the $50 premium of the Switch OLED over the non-OLED model, then we think it's definitely worth the upgrade. The biggest improvement, of course, is the display. The Nintendo Switch OLED features an OLED display that offers better image quality than the original LCD display. That includes deeper blacks, more vibrant colors, and a better color gradient. The text is sharper and easier to read as well. The screen isn't that much bigger (7" o...

Battlefield Can't Keep Up With Call of Duty, Says Sony

Sony has now included EA's Battlefield franchise in its arguments against Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, saying the shooter can't keep up with Call of Duty. As reported by PC Gamer, Sony said in its response to the UK government's investigation into the merger that Call of Duty has found unparalleled success that no other shooter can compete, even Battlefield. "Call of Duty is not replicable," it said. "Call of Duty is too entrenched for any rival, no matter how well equipped, to catch up. It has been the top-selling game for almost every year in the last decade and, in the first-person shooter genre, it is overwhelmingly the top-selling game. "Other publishers do not have the resources or expertise to match its success," Sony continued. "To give a concrete example, Electronic Arts – one of the largest third-party developers after Activision – has tried for many years to produce a rival to Call of Duty with its Battlefie...

The Best Black Friday Deals on Cheap Nintendo Switch Micro SDXC Memory Cards

Image
Black Friday is the best time of year to upgrade the storage in your Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, or Switch Lite gaming console. Right now the best Black Friday deals on Switch memory cards are the SanDisk Ultra models from Amazon. Pick up any one of these and you'll never have to worry about running out of space again. If you've started compiling a collection of digital games, you probably already know just how limited the Switch's base storage capacity. With only 32GB of starting space (and some of it reserved for the OS), you'll barely fit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokemon Sword or Shield, which tap out at 13.5GB each! There's only one expansion slot in the Switch console so you want to make sure you get the biggest card you can afford. Black Friday Deals on Nintendo Switch Memory Cards The SanDisk Ultra Micro SDXC cards are pretty much the exact same memory cards as the ones that have the Nintendo branding on them. In fact, the Nintendo ...

8 Best PS5 SSDs For 2022

Between Final Fantasy XVI , Resident Evil 4 Remake , and The Callisto Protocol , the PS5 is about to get a lot of good games, and if you want to keep them around for easy access, you're going to need an SSD to slot into your PS5. After all, the console comes with less than a terabyte of storage space. That's hardly enough for you to keep all your favorite games, let alone record video clips, take screenshots, and save other data. The good news is upgrading your PS5 storage has never been easier, thanks to the secondary M.2 SSD slot that lets you add a second SSD, similar to adding storage to your gaming PC . Luckily, the best PS5 SSDs are a big step over the days of using a slow external hard drive. Your secondary drive operates as fast as the PS5's primary storage, so loads and saves are quick, and transferring games takes mere moments. Of course, you need to buy a compatible SSD that fits and is fast enough, which means you need an NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive with 5,500MB/s...

Get Horizon Forbidden West Launch Edition at Walmart for $35

Black Friday deals are in full swing, and it wouldn't be a proper sales event without Walmart posting tons of deals on video games. Horizon Zero Dawn made a big splash in the PlayStation ecosystem, and Horizon Forbidden West amped everything up even further with PlayStation 5 optimizations, vastly improved visuals, and expanded gameplay. If you've been looking to jump in, you are in luck because Walmart has a $35 discount, bringing Forbidden West down to just $35. Horizon Forbidden West - Black Friday Deal For reference, we gave it a 9/10 in our review. Here's our verdict: "A triumphant combination of enthralling combat, top-tier creature and character design, and a captivating open world, Horizon Forbidden West is an absolute blast and fantastic showcase for the power of the PS5. Although the return of a couple of familiar series trappings and a noticeable lack of freeform climbing never threatens to derail the enjoyment, it does leave it falling frustratingly ...

Team Ninja Responds to Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden Reboot Reports

Nioh developer Team Ninja has responded to rumours that it's planning to reboot the Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden franchises, indicating that we probably won't see a revival anytime soon. Speaking to VGC , Team Ninja's creative director Tom Lee said that, despite showing both franchises at a conference under the heading "Reboot of popular series", the studio has nothing to announce regarding new entries. "Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden are both long-standing pillar franchises for Team Ninja. These celebrated titles are synonymous with our studio history and reputation," said Lee. "It goes without saying that, when speaking about the development of our past and future projects, both of these important titles cannot be left without mention. However, there are no details or information to share on either of these franchises at this present time. "Like many of our dedicated fans, we share the enthusiasm for the return of these beloved tit...
