Today the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller has dropped another $10, making it the lowest price we've ever seen. If you're looking for a super precise controller for games like Forza Horizon 5 or Halo Infinite, you can't get much better than this. In other deal news, a new Switch Lite themed gaming system is up for preorder starting today. If you're a Pokemon fan, you don't want to miss this one. Also, Retailmenot's Cash Back Day ends today; this is your last chance to save 5%, 10%, or even 15% cash back at some of the biggest retailers.
New Price Drop
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.
The newest themed Nintendo Switch Lite features a metallic gray body with the legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia from the upcoming Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl games embossed in gold on the back. The Switch Lite is $100 cheaper than the Switch. It's a pure handheld; there's no docking station that allows the Switch Lite to be played on the TV. If all you plan to do is play on the built-in display, then you might as well save some money.
Cash Back Day is an annual retail event hosted by Retailmenot that started in 2019. This year, Cash Back Day runs for 48 hours, spanning November 4-5. In order for you to take advantage of this offer, you'll need to follow these steps:
Over 1,000 stores are eligible for cashback, ranging from Amazon and Target to LEGO, Home Depot, Verizon, Nike, Old Navy, and more. Here are some of our favorites:
Starting today, Amazon is offering Black Friday pricing on their two newest TVs: the Omni Series, which allows for complete voice control over your TV (no remote required), and the 4-Series, which is like the Omni in every respect minus the voice control. The Omni is only about $30-$40 more expensive than the 4-Series, and is like having a TV and Echo Dot in one complete package. If you're worried about privacy, Alexa and Omni are built with multiple layers of privacy protection. Omni has a microphone off switch that electronically disconnects the microphones. You also have control over your voice recordings and can view, hear, or delete them at any time in the Alexa app.
Save an extra $10 off the 128GB model and $20 off the 256GB model. The Oculus Quest 2 has so far been the best value when it comes to VR gaming. It's hundreds of dollars cheaper than its competitors, it has phenomenal tracking, it doesn't need to be tethered to a PC, and it boasts a huge library of games (even Half Life: Alyx is easily playable on the Quest 2). Now, Oculus has re-released its Oculus Quest 2 VR headset with double the storage (128GB vs 64GB) for the exact same price. There's even less of a reason now to pick something else. I purchased an Oculus Rift when it first launched, played the heck out of it, and now own a Quest 2. In my opinion, and with price factored in, it's far and away the best VR headset to get into Beat Saber.
Forza Horizon 5 is out on Friday and its shaping up to be one of the best games of the year. This game is good enough to be worth paying full price, but fortunately you won't have to. Forza Horizon 5 will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, which means you could enjoy this spectacular game come Friday for as little as $1. Halo: Infinite comes out on December 8. Your 3 months of Xbox Game Pass for PC will still be active by then.
Battlefield is out on November 19, but Xbox Game Pass members can play the game one week early on November 12 for up to 10 hours. That will give you a chance to test out the release version of the game and decide if you want to preorder it yourself. Note that Battlefield 2042 will NOT be coming to Game Pass at launch, so if you do want to continue playing the game, you'll have to preorder the standalone game.
Available for New AND Existing Members!
Xbox Game Pass for PC is exactly what it sounds like; access to a library of Xbox games that are also playable on PC. There are plenty of top shelf games including Forza Horizon 4, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Destiny 2, Back for Blood, Scarlet Nexus, Cris Tales, Crusader Kings, and much, much more. You'll also get launch day access to huge upcoming games like Halo: Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. And you'll get to test out Battlefield 2042 one week prior to release. The best thing about this deal? Anyone can sign up, even those of you who already have the subscription.
The sheer amount of value you get with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is impressive. This membership gives you both Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass for PC. Xbox Live Gold is required for online gaming. Xbox Game Pass gives you access to a huge library of games that is free as long as you maintain your membership. The list includes AAA games that you can play as early as launch day. These include MLB The Show 21, FIFA 21, The Medium, and every Bethesda game ever. If you've also got a great gaming PC, Xbox Game Pass for PC offers games like Crusader Kings 3, Forza Horizon 4, Nier Automata, and more.
This is one of the newest 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, but for whatever reason you'll have to put it on the SSD itself (which isn't hard, it's just adhesive).
Not only is this the best Alienware gaming PC deal right now, it's probably the least expensive prebuilt gaming PC equipped with an RTX 3060 Ti video card anywhere. With the RTX 3060 Ti video card selling for over $800 on eBay, getting a fully built Alienware system with an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of memory, and 512GB of SDD storage for $1399 seems like an absolute steal.
