Black Friday 2020: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is $10 Off Right Now

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a great way to snag some of the most iconic 3D Mario games all on one system. It’s also on sale this Black Friday 2020. Between Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy this collection can provide hours of classic 3D platforming fun and now you can grab it at a discount!

Best Deal: $50 at Amazon and Walmart

Deals on Super Mario 3D All Stars are available on both Amazon and Walmart. You can snag it for $50 at both retailers. Note that this deal is specifically for the physical version of the game, digital codes are regular price on the Switch eShop. 3D All Stars is a limited-time release, and will only be available to purchase until March 31, 2021. This ties the best price we’ve seen on the collection, so don’t sleep on this deal!

“3D All-Stars presents the three classics in their original, unvarnished forms. Outside of modified controls to better suit the Switch hardware, Nintendo has not altered the content of these games, so they arrive on Switch with all of their original highlights and blemishes intact. As such, the appeal of this collection hinges entirely on the strength of the games themselves, and they have all weathered the test of time with varying degrees of grace,” Kevin Knezevic said in GameSpot’s Super Mario 3D All Stars review. If you’re looking to catch up on some staples of gaming history and culture, this is an easy way to do it.

We’re covering Black Friday 2020 news and deals through Thanksgiving weekend and into Cyber Monday, so keep it locked here. And if you’re looking for even more savings, check out our roundup of the best Black Friday gaming deals available this year, including the best deals for PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X, and Nintendo Switch.

Amazon’s Black Friday Kindle Deals Are Awesome

I love my Kindle. I’m not joking or putting on an act here, I’m completely serious. The Kindle might be my favorite non-gaming electronic device. I’ve had a few over the years, and right off the bat I noticed how much more I was reading than I was before.

My love for Kindle makes it easy for me to recommend getting one for your own use, and the full gamut of Kindle deals are now live during Amazon’s Black Friday week event.

Personally, I recommend getting the entry-level Kindle Black Friday deal, but the new waterproof Kindles are pretty sweet, too. The Kindle Oasis is probably the model I’ll get to replace my current Kindle Paperwhite when I eventually break it (my previous Kindle only stopped working after I managed to knock it off my nightstand in the middle of the night and step on it in the morning).

Black Friday: Oculus Quest 2 is in stock, game bundles are on sale

You wouldn’t know it among all the next-gen console launches, but virtual reality is still an awesome way to play games. The Oculus Quest 2 is the latest headset of choice for those who prefer to ditch the cords and keep things simple and clean. That is…if you can find one. Thankfully, Walmart and Amazon have restocked their Oculus Quest 2 inventory, meaning you can have VR perfection by Christmas.

The hottest item would be the 256GB version, which vastly defeats the smaller 64GB version. You’ll pay a bit more, but it’s worth it considering the Quest 2 is meant to be played on the go, and VR game file sizes are often pretty huge.

Oculus is also running some great deals on VR game bundles, which is an easy way to experience some classic titles without digging through a storefront. Check those deals out further below. Don’t forget to check out all the best Black Friday deals as well.

Oculus Quest and Rift Game Bundle Deals

Oculus is offering some solid bundle deals on many of its most popular games. They’re sort of organized into varying tastes and scope, so if you’re in the mood for short but replayable stuff, or longer narrative-focused games, there’s options.

I particularly recommend the Quest Black Collection, which includes Superhot VR, Robo Recall Unplugged, Moss, and other great games. If you have an Oculust Rift or any other Oculus PC-connected headset, the Diamond Collection includes the fantastic Lone Echo.

Get a MacBook Air for $799 with This Black Friday Deal

The Black Friday deals are finally live at all retailers, dropping prices to appealingly low ranges on items of all kinds. And now that Apple’s new M1 MacBook Airs are in stock, laptop sellers are dropping prices on the Intel models released earlier this year by up to $250. So if you’ve been eyeing a new Apple laptop lately, now is a fantastic time to buy.

Before we dive into the MacBook Air Black Friday discount details, though, you should know we’re covering the deals from all angles this year. You can see all our top picks for the best Black Friday deals in our mega-post. Or if you’re more interested in specific items, you can check our Black Friday video game deals article. Now on with the MacBook discounts.

Save Up to $250 on MacBook Air

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=macbook-air-deals”]

The discounts apply to both early-2020 MacBook Air models Amazon sells. For the 256GB model with an Intel Core i3, you can save $200, bringing the price down to an extremely agreeable $799. The 512GB model with an Intel Core i5 has the same $200 off deal, plus you get an extra $49.01 taken off at checkout, bringing the price down from its usual $1299 all the way to $1049.

Both deals are pretty killer discounts on items you don’t normally see for those kinds of prices. It is Black Friday, after all, and Apple has just released a newer model of the MacBook Air, but one that uses Apple-made chips instead of Intel-made ones. If you prefer Intel, or you just like the discounted price point, grab up one of these machines. They may well sell out before long.

These MacBook Airs both sport speedy 10th-generation Icy Lake Intel Core processors (Y-Series) and batteries that last up to 11 hours between charges. They have pixel-dense Retina screens with True Tone technology. They also have football field-sized trackpads and way better keyboards compared to previous models.

About that keyboard. For years, Apple’s butterfly-switch keyboards have been getting dragged in the press for keys ceasing to work just because a speck of dust drifted underneath and got stuck. Also, the tall left and right arrow keys looked nice, but they were much harder to use by touch than the previous “inverted T” arrow keys were. The new “Magic Keyboard” features deeper travel for a much better feel while typing. The short left and right arrow keys are back, which are great for navigating by feel. You also still have a TouchID in the upper corner to replace entering passwords.

One of the Best Black Friday Deals Is On One of the Best 4K TVs

Technically it’s Thanksgiving, which means Black Friday is still a day away. But retailers don’t care about dates anymore: Black Friday is an event now, not just a single day of savings. One of the best Black Friday deals is a slight modification of one of the best 4K TV deals of 2020.

Right now, Amazon is offering the LG CX OLED 4K TV, which is one of our absolute favorite 4K TVs, for a discounted price. But the deal is made all the sweeter by the addition of a $47-off coupon on the item page

When you add in the savings from the coupon, the 65″ LG CX 4K TV is at its lowest price, ever, on Amazon, making it one of the best Black Friday deals on anything.
