It's getting close to pinch time, when gifts bought online will probably arrive in time for the holidays, but then again, might not. If you're willing to assume the odds are in your favor — or don't really care when something arrives on your doorstep — you'll be happy to know this turned out to be a pretty good week to save on tech.
The holiday season is upon us and, while that means lots of merriment and fun, it also brings the inevitable stress of picking gifts for all your loved ones.
Spotify's 2024 Wrapped results arrived this week, and while the whole package seems a bit thin compared to previous years, we're still getting a kick out of seeing our listening habits laid bare. Apple Music also dropped its annual Replay, and Tidal's 2024 Rewind has landed, so non-Spotify users have some data to pore over too. For those among us who don't use any of the big streaming apps, well, it's still a nice time to reflect on personal favorites from this year.
While many of Cyber Monday's better deals are leftovers from Black Friday, it's still a good time to restock on video games and gaming gear on the cheap. If you’re looking to pad out your backlog, pick up a new console or refresh your desktop with new peripherals, we’ve rounded up a bunch of Cyber Monday gaming deals that aren't total junk below.
There are two (well, technically, three) optimal times of the year to pick up Echo speakers, Kindle ereaders and other Amazon devices: Amazon Prime Day (now multiple days) and the Black Friday and Cyber Monday time period. While Amazon likes to save its steepest discounts for its members-only shopping event, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see the same deals (or similar ones) during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Here’s a collaboration I wasn’t expecting. The hit gaming franchise Call of Duty and the hit Netflix show Squid Game are teaming up for some kind of game mode to commemorate the latter’s second season.
The expensive tech gets all the attention — thousand-dollar phones and $500 tablets. But the supporting players, the cables and batteries and chargers that make those devices work properly, are just as important. Right now for Black Friday, many of those smaller gadgets are on sale for less than $50 even after the day has passed.
Black Friday is usually a good time to restock on video games and gaming gear at a discount, and this year has been no exception. If you’re looking to pad out your backlog, pick up a new console or refresh your desktop with new peripherals, we rounded up the best Black Friday gaming deals you can still get today.
