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.

It's nice to see Amazon's latest and greatest watch, released less than 2 months ago, discounted during the holiday season. $50 isn't a massive discount, but it's better than the paltry $20 price drop we saw on Black Friday. The biggest upgrade the Series 7 has over the Series 6 is the display. It has the same always-on Retina display, but it's 20% bigger and features a more crack-resistant front crystal screen. It also adds on even more health-related features, like measuring your blood oxygen or taking an ECG.

The price of the LG A1 48" OLED 4K TV dropped $100 compared to Black Friday! The A1 TV has virtually the identical image quality as the C1 TV. It also uses the latest WebOS smart TV software and includes the same Magic Remote. The biggest difference is that unlike the C1, the A1 OLED TV only has HDMI 2.0 ports, not HDMI 2.1. That means that it can output 4K @ 60fps but not 120fps. It also doesn't support VRR (variable refresh rate) and G-SYNC. These are gaming niceties you'll only really notice if you hook up a high-end gaming PC, a PS5, or an Xbox Series S|X console. Even if you have these gaming platforms, though, it will still look better than the vast majority of TVs out there. For those of you who don't game on these consoles, then this is a no-brainer purchase.
Tempo offers personalized workout guidance right at home. Right now you can save $500 off your Tempo Studio purchase. Prices start at $1995 and includes an all-in-one station that features a massive 42" HD touchscreen display, Tempo 3D sensor, AI Personal Coaching Engine, and over $1000 in accessories.

It has all the niceties of the new Xbox Series X|S controllers like the textured triggers and bumpers, hybird D-pad, button mapping, and Bluetooth connectivity. The cord is fire resistant, and this can charge almost any device you have in your home, USB or otherwise.
The newest Nintendo Switch OLED model has been incredibly difficult to find throughout the the year. It's back today, but only on Amazon, and only for a very limited time. This Switch features a larger, more vibrant OLED touchscreen display, an upgrade to the terrible OG kickstand, an ethernet port on the docking station, and of course new Joy-Con colors. If you're planning to buy one, don't hesitate!
The Razer Seiren X is an excellent supercardoid USB microphone that's marked down by 50% off. It also features built-in background noise reduction, shock mount, and a compact ball mount adjustable stand.
Battlefield 2024 was released in mid November and already we're seeing a huge price drop. The game has received much criticism, and most of it is justified, but it's still a fun game. Since I myself am a diehard Battlefield fan, I've still put in over a hundred hours into the game. The biggest advantage of this game over prior games is that it is crossplay; so there's a bigger combined player base for every platform. Get the PC version from Green Man Gaming or the Xbox and PlayStation versions from Amazon.
Does this game really need any introduction? We gave it a 10/10 Masterpiece score here at IGN and even now it's still considered one of the very best games to grace the Switch console. It's normally $59.99 and although we've seen it for a bit less than this, you shouldn't expect the price to come down more anytime soon. The game is easily worth it at this price.
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.

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.
The Samsung Odyssey G9 is one of the largest, most immersive gaming monitors on the market. It was a huge hit last Black Friday, and this time around it's even less expensive than ever. Today Amazon is offering the monitor for $999.99, this first time it's ever hit the $1K price point.

Pandemic Legacy Season 1 is an outstanding board game. At BoardGameGeek, it topped the chart when it was released, and has sat at #2 ever since (Gloomhaven being the only board game that trumped it). Pandemic Legacy is essentially Pandemic with a huge non-linear cooperative campaign attached to it. Most people agree that it's a significant upgrade over the original Pandemic. The game is played across 12-24 sessions lasting about 1-2 hours each, and because of the branching nature, no two games will be the same. You'll notice that there are two variants of the game: Blue and Red editions. They are the exact same game with different box art. they are made so that some avid gamers can play the game simultaneously with two different groups; the colors make it easier to not confuse the two.
