The deals are slowly starting to trickle in for the new year. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can pick up a copy of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for free. You'll also find more deals on Ring Fit Adventure, Bowflex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells, Nintendo Switch Online membership, Xbox gaming headsets, free video games, and more below.
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.
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 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.
Do you want to work out but simply don't enjoy working out? Ring Fit Adventure is one way to get around this hurdle. Ring Fit incorporates a huge variety of excellent workout exercises disguised as an RPG game. An epic adventure awaits you slaying monsters and dragons, tackling new levels, traversing different environments, acquiring powerups and skills, all the while toning your abs and burning calories.
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. Nintendo Switch Online is required for online play in games like Super Mario Kart or Splatoon, downloading custom maps in Super Mario Maker 2, playing free retro SNES games, saving your game data to the cloud, and much more. 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.
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.
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.
Alternatively go with an RTX 3060 equipped PC and save $250. Besides the video card, the difference between the two configs is the amount of RAM and storage: this config is equipped with 16GB compared the 32GB for the pricier config and includes no hard drive (only a 512GB SSD). If you're planning to play games at 1080p, the RTX 3060 is definitely the card to get. The RTX 3060 handles that resolution almost as well, even at frame rates of up to 144Hz. It's about as powerful as the previous generation's RTX 2060 SUPER and almost as powerful as the RTX 2070 SUPER. It can definitely handle 1440p gaming as well, although if you want to push 100+ fps, the RTX 3060 Ti is still the better option.
Newegg is offering a straight up $5 off an eShop gift card, good for any game or DLC up to $50 at Nintendo's online store. It's stackable with any sales and deals currently going on there. There's not really any promotion going on now but that's the beauty of gift cards; you can lock in the discount now and wait patiently for a sale to make your purchase.
