It’s the best time to buy an Xbox right now, as the Xbox Series X is now selling for just $349 with or without a free game. You can get Microsoft’s flagship console in a bundle with a digital copy of Diablo IV at Walmart (saving you $210). Or, if fantasy ARPGs really aren’t your thing, you can get the console only for the same price at either Amazon or Walmart (saving you $150 total).
Xbox may not have all the heavy-hitter console exclusives these days like Sony’s PlayStation and its cadre of AAA single-player experiences, but it’s a great 4K-capable gaming machine with handy features like Quick Resume to get you back into your game in a near instant. Plus, if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, there are all kinds of great and unique games to enjoy for just $16.99 per month — like sleeper hits Hi-Fi Rush, Cocoon, and Remnant 2 (the last of which just stealth-dropped on the service within the last few days).
Best Buy is discounting a whole slew of Apple gear today only, but one of the cheapest and handiest on offer is an Apple AirTag for just $23 ($6 off) — which is a buck cheaper than during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Additionally, if you need more, you can get a four-pack of AirTags for around $80 at either Best Buy or Amazon.
AirTags are the most streamlined and easy-to-use trackers if you use an iPhone. They can be incredibly handy for keeping track of your keys, purse, bag, or even whole pieces of luggage. Just keep in mind that unless you can slip the tiny discs into a pocket, you may need to get a key ring or attachment loop for it, as Apple does not include anything with them.
The Google Pixel Buds Pro are once again available for their Cyber Monday price of $119.99 ($80 off). You can get them at that price in their lemongrass color at Amazon or a larger assortment of colors at Wellbots when you use code VERGE80BUDS. Additionally, if used earbuds don’t gross you out too much, you can get them in refurbished condition from Best Buy for just $64.99.
The Pixel Buds Pro are a very good option for most Android phone users, though the flagship noise-canceling wireless earbuds from Google are an especially good match with a Pixel phone. Recent Pixel phone users can take advantage of new features like Google’s Clear Calling voice enhancements and conversation detection. But those software tricks aside, the Pixel Buds Pro are a great all-around earbud option.
