    Nintendo gear is always sought after during the holiday shopping season, but this year likely more so than others. The Nintendo Switch 2 is the console launch of 2025 and it will undoubtedly be at the top of many wish lists for both kids and adults alike. If you were hoping to save a bit on the console during the Black Friday shopping season, you may be disappointed. The Nintendo Black Friday sale was announced earlier this month, and unsurprisingly, there aren't a lot of true "deals" to be had. This is typical of Nintendo — legit Nintendo Black Friday

Below, we’ve collected the best Black Friday deals you can still get today. We expect many of these to run through Cyber Monday this year, but we'll keep this post updated

    You’re not alone if you’re consistently aghast at the rising cost of streaming services. This year in particular has been bleak, with Disney+ and HBO Max being just a couple of the services that have increased prices as of late. If you’re like any of us at Engadget, you probably subscribe to more than a few of these services, and costs quickly add up even without the period price increases. While you can find the occasional streaming deal throughout the year, Black Friday is the time when they are most abundant. These are the best Black Friday streaming deals we

    Black Friday is technically a thing of the past, but many of the best deals we told you about yesterday — including deep discounts on the AirPods Pro 3, the Pixel Watch 4, and the latest Kindle Paperwhite — are still kicking for now.

You don’t have to worry, though, as we’ve confirmed that every deal below is both in stock and selling at a great price.

  • Anker’s handy little 3-port charger is just 35 bucks 12 hours ago by Allison Johnson

    Is there anything quite like the satisfying snap of folding prongs? Earlier this year, I decided to level up my travel game and invest in a charger to bring on trips, rather than raiding my desk outlets every time I packed. I needed a multitasker, something that could power my MacBook Air, charge my phone, and accommodate the random USB-A cord I always seem to need for some reason (I’m looking at you, electric toothbrush). That multitasker turned out to be Anker’s Prime 67W charger, and I haven’t looked back since. ANKER PRIME CHARGER (67W) The 67W Prime charger includes two USB-C ports

    Earlier this year, I reviewed the Fractal Scape, a wireless gaming headset made for PC (also compatible with Switch 2) that really wowed me. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much in this debut headset from a company known mostly for making PC cases, but it’s one of the most thoughtfully-designed models that I’ve tried recently. If you’re in the market for an elegant headset that sounds great and docks to recharge (keeping cable clutter to a minimum on your desk), I suggest checking out the Black Friday special on the Scape. The discount on these initially brought them down to $169.99, but

    Our picks include carrying cases and ones you can leave on during handheld and docked play. | Image: The Verge, Getty Images Editor’s note: Black Friday deals are still happening, so check out the latest and greatest discounts that today has to offer. You might find it kind of sad to put your hard-earned Switch 2 into a protective case. To me, it’s freeing. Using a case relieves me of the worry that it will accumulate tons of little scratches, or worse. I’ve tested several types of cases on the Nintendo Switch 2 since its June 2025 debut, including flimsy shells that snap

    Fujifilm knows how to commit to a bit. | Photo: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Fujifilm’s unusual X Half elicited a lot of feelings from photographers when it came out earlier this year — from “That looks like so much fun,” to “Wait, it costs how much?“ Its $849.95 list price felt way too high for what is, by all accounts, a fun, unserious little point-and-shoot. But its $649 sale price? Much easier to stomach. The X Half comes with a 1-inch sensor, a fixed 32mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens, and a whole lot of nostalgia-inducing features, designed to make it feel like you’re
