Christmas is just a few weeks away. The sooner you start your holiday shopping, the more likely you are to find a bargain; as December 25 approaches, both product prices and shipping costs begin to rise. There are still plenty of great deals left over from Black Friday, as well as some new ones.
PS5 God of War Bundle with 2nd DualSense Controller
PlayStation 5 Disc Edition God of War Ragnarök Bundle with 2nd DualSense Controller
The PlayStation 5 gaming console may have been a *little* easier to find during Black Friday season, but that stock has dried up… until now. Fortunately, at least for a while, there’s still one place to get it without waiting in line. Dell is offering this PS5 Disc Edition console bundle with God of War: Ragnarok and a second DualSense controller for $634.98. It’s basically the same as getting all three items separately for retail price, but at least it’s available right now.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Illustrated Hardcover (Book 5)
If you buy two Harry Potter illustrated hardcover books on Amazon, you can get a third book of lesser or equal value for free. This gives you the chance to pick up three of these books for the price of smoking. It’s a shame there are only five illustrated edition books in total, otherwise you could do this deal twice to steal all six. However, if you buy the other two, you can always choose something else as part of this Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer. For example, Dogman children’s comic books are also sold.
Meta Quest 2 VR Headset + 2 Games for $349
$50 off Meta Quest 2 VR headset + 2 games (Beat Saber & Resident Evil 4)
This Black Friday deal is still valid for holiday shoppers. The Oculus Quest 2 VR headset normally costs $399.99 for the 128GB model. Walmart still has it for $50 off and two bonus games: Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4. Beat Saber is the most popular (and in my opinion, the best) VR game of all time, and Resident Evil 4 is probably the scariest game you’ll ever play . VR right now. You’ll easily be over $50 to get both.

Xbox Series S for $239.99
Amazon still has the Xbox Series S for $239.99, a $60 price drop from its original MSRP of $300. This also makes it more than 50% cheaper than the $500 Xbox Series X console. It may not have the same power as the Xbox Series X (it runs games at 1440p for 60fps instead of native 4K), it can still play all the same games.
2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi, 64GB)
A new 2022 iPad is coming out this year, and guess what? Apple raised the base price to $449! Currently, the 2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad costs just $269, which is a $60 price drop from the $329 MSRP and $180 less than the base model 2022 iPad. It features a 10.2-inch Retina display with TruTone paired with Apple’s A13 Bionic CPU and 64GB of internal storage.
2TB PS5 Compatible SSDs Under $200
Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 6600 Mbps)
XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7400 MBps) with Radiator
Mushkin Vortex 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD (up to 7415 Mbps)
It’s not too late to score a great deal on a massive 2TB storage upgrade for your PS5 console. You can’t use an old SSD and expect it to work well on the PS5 console. You’ll want to choose a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid-state drive with a nominal read speed of 5500MB/s to match the PS5’s internal drive. Sony recommends installing an SSD with an attached cooler. If the SSD you bought doesn’t come with one, it’s easy enough to buy one for around $10 on Amazon and add it yourself.
1TB Nintendo Switch Micro SDXC Memory Card
Compatible with Nintendo Switch
AmazonBasics 1TB U3 A2 Micro SDXC Map
This AmazonBasics MicroSDXC card is fully compatible with Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. It has a very high-speed U3 A2 rating, which also makes it a good card for your GoPro, camera or 4K video-capable smartphone. The AmazonBasics memory card is manufactured by Longsys (Lexar). The Nintendo Switch comes with a paltry 32GB of built-in storage, so if you get a 512GB or 1TB card, you’ll probably never have to worry about running out of space.
LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime for $144.99
Transforms from a robot into a truck
LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime 10302 1508 Piece Building A set
Earlier this year, LEGO increased the MSRPs of many of its popular building sets. The LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime (10302) was one of the sets, but this deal brings the price down well below the original MSRP again. The total number of bricks is 1,508, which averages under 10 cents per brick. That’s a serious deal, especially when you consider the sheer excellence of this set. The best feature is the ability to transform; Optimus Prime can transform from robot to truck and back without breaking the model.

Black Friday deals still available
While most of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have come and gone, there are still some special deals that are definitely worth your attention. These will be the best deals you’ll find in the lead up to Christmas.
