There are a lot of good deals today on space-saving workout equipment for your home. That includes all-in-one adjustable dumbbells and barbells and folding treadmills. If you're not really in the workout mood and still need something to keep busy, there's also good deals today on an excellent board game, the entire Hobbit Trilogy in 4K, video games, online gaming subscriptions, and more.
The newest Nintendo Switch OLED model has been incredibly difficult to find throughout the holiday season. It's back today on Amazon with quick delivery. This Switch features a larger, more vibrant OLED touchscreen display, an upgrade to the terrible OG kickstand, and an ethernet port on the docking station.
Walmart is offering an excellent price on a pair of NordicTrack adjustable dumbbells, far lower than comparable brands like Bowflex and Power Bloack. If there's any one piece of exercise equipment you should decide on, free weights would be a very good investment. These super popular dumbbells haven't been discounted for months. Investing in some exercise equipment at home means there's less of a reason to take the risk (and the extra cost) of going to your local gym. Because these dumbbells are adjustable, you don't need a rack of individual weights lying around. Each dumbbell can be adjusted from 10 to 55 pounds.

Investing in some exercise equipment at home means there's less of a reason to take the risk (and the extra cost) of going to your local gym. Because the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells are adjustable, you don't need a rack of individual weights lying around. Each dumbbell can be adjusted from 2.5 pounds all the way to 52.5 pounds.
The Bowflex SelectTech 2080 Barbell with Curl Bar is normally $599. It's "on sale" for $100 off at Bowflex direct, but Walmart has it way cheaper right now with over $200 off. Like all the other adjustable weight sets that go on sale at Woot!, this will most likely sell out before it expires at the end of the day. Adjustable from 20lbs to 80lbs in 10lb increments.
There's a new $100 discount on one of the most popular treadmills on Amazon. The Nordictrack T 6.5 S treadmill features a 20" x 55" tread belt with speeds of up to 10mp, incline up to 10%, and a weight capacity up to 300lbs. It also folds up and away when not in use. Note that you can use this treadmill without an iFIT membership (which costs money) so make sure you opt out of that or skip activation altogether when you set the treadmill up.
Save $120 off one of the highest end Apple Watch Series 7 models on Amazon. This particular watch features cellular capability so you can use it without having your iPhone nearby (separate cellular service subscription required). It's also the larger of the two Apple Watch Series 7 sizes and boasts a much more robust stainless steel case instead of the more common aluminum. The Series 7 itself is currently the best smartwatch on the market and Apple's newest iteration. The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it's 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG.
This is the controller to get if you want the most precise and customizable Xbox controller on the market. This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, custom profiles saved on your controller itself, and included USB Type C cable with charging dock. It boasts up to 40 hours of battery life and is compatible with the Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, and PC.
This is a great price for a 27" monitor with QHD (2560x1440) resolution and a good quality IPS panel that offers wide viewing angles and excellent color reproduction. It makes for an excellent all-purpose or workstation monitor, and we've never seen it priced this low from Dell.
This set includes both theatrical and extended editions of all three movies: An Unexpected Journey, Desolation of Smaug, and The Battle of the Five Armies in glorious 4K Ultra HD. Digital copies are included as well.
Scythe is a competitive engine-building game that takes place in an alternate history. It's designed for 1 to 5 players and offers about 2 hours of playtime per session. It's consistently rated one of the top 20 board games of all time on BoardGameGeek. It's also one of the more complex games on their list, so board game newbies should shy away from this one. For serious board game enthusiasts, though, Scythe is well worth the (discounted) cost.
Save $10 off the 20th Anniversary Edition of the official Xbox wired headset for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. This is essentially the wired version of the Xbox Wireless Headset. Having a cord isn't such a big deal since you can connect it to your Xbox controller instead of the console itself. The standard version of the stereo headset is also on sale, if you want to save an extra $13.
Best Buy is offering a free 128Gb Micro SDXC Memory Card when you pick up a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online Family Membership.

The "Family" membership allows for up to 8 different account holders, not necessarily in the same household. The 128GB memory card is basically required as well; it will increase your storage capacity by quadruple the stock amount.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition and the Outer Wilds are both excellent games for the Xbox console and they'll be playable for free for Xbox Game Pass users starting January 6. Currently you can sign up for 1 month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for only $1 (normally $14.99). Ultimate gives you access to both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live.
Walmart Exclusive
It's cold and the fires are still stoking. The annual KFC Firelog is available for purchase at Walmart, and now it's 75% off. For only $5, you can make your house to smell like Colonel Sanders' fried chicken without actually eating fried chicken (or while eating fried chicken?). KFC does explicity state some warnings that you should heed: (1) may result in a craving for fried chicken, (2) please do not attempt to eat it, and (3) please do not put your face directly into the fire in attempt to smell fried chicken. Believe it or not, this isn't a gag; it's an actual, legitimate product endorsed by KFC themselves and Enviro-Log is the official manufacturer.
Save up to 41% off these popular Mario and Zelda titles for the Nintendo Switch. Sure they aren't as cheap as the prices we saw during Black Friday, but that ship has long since sailed. These are the lowest prices you'll see for a while, at least until Mario Day (March 10) or E3.
This Black Friday deal is back. The XPG Gammix S70 Blade is one of the more recently released SSDs that's specifically designed for your PS5 storage upgrade. It also happens to be the lowest priced PS5-compatible 1TB SSD with heatsink available. In fact, it's even less expensive than most compatible SSDs without heatsink. The S70 Blade boasts transfer rates up to 7,400 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. It includes a PS5-compatible low-profile aluminum heatsink. It's not beefy, but it works and it fits.
Amazon Prime Gaming is offering this game for free for everyone who has an Amazon Prime account. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an outstanding game created by Respawn Entertainment, the same studio that crafted other excellent titles like Titanfall and Apex Legends. Fallen Order isn't that old of a game (it was released in November of 2019), so it sports some very impressive graphics even when judged against today's standards. The sound quality and voice acting are top notch, the story is engaging, and there's a lot to do in the world including light saber battles, gunfights, platforming, exploration, collecting loot, upgrading, and much more.
