Cyber Monday gaming deals are offering both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on sale for next to nothing. If you haven’t had the chance to pick up either console yet, the remaining hours of Cyber Monday are the time to do so. Best of all, with the hardware having been on the shelves for a while now, these prices won’t drop lower until well into Black Friday 2020, if ever, so there really has never been a better time to add a new console to your gaming arsenal.
The PlayStation 4 is available at an incredible price this Cyber Monday, no matter which version you want to buy. The PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB 3 game bundle is the standout. Just $199 snags you a PlayStation 4 Slim, a controller, and three award-winning games. It’s the best console deal available this Cyber Monday.
Nintendo’s popular Switch isn’t seeing deep discounts this Cyber Monday, but numerous bundle deals are available. These deals are the best you can expect to see this holiday season, or in the near future. Nintendo is notoriously stingy about discounts.
Microsoft slashed the Xbox One S to insane lows for Cyber Monday. If you want a console at the lowest price possible this holiday, the Xbox One S is the way to go. The more powerful Xbox One X is also at new lows, and even comes bundled with a hot new game. You can also get a subscription to the Xbox One’s Game Pass service for a ludicrously low price.
Cyber Monday 2019 is an excellent time to pick up new games, as well as the best titles from last year. We’re seeing record low prices on standout PlayStation 4 hits, as well as surprisingly good deals on Nintendo Switch classics.
While the deals above are our favorites, there’s plenty more to choose from. Here’s all of our favorite Cyber Monday 2019 gaming deals.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
