It’s the best time to buy an Xbox right now, as the Xbox Series X is selling for just $349. You can get Microsoft’s flagship console at either Amazon or Walmart and save $150.
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).
The Xbox Series X is Microsoft’s flagship console, serving as its most powerful (and biggest) option focused on fast, 4K gameplay. Read our review.
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.
Apple’s AirTag can help you find your lost items with its ultra-wideband technology. You’ll get the best compatibility with an iPhone, though Apple released an Android app that can detect an AirTag’s location and notify you if one seems to be following you. Read our review.
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.
Google’s Pixel Buds Pro are the company’s first earbuds to include active noise cancellation. But that’s not the only thing that makes them Google’s best buds yet: the Pixel Buds Pro combine impressive sound, great battery life, and good comfort — all without the connection issues of earlier models.
