Like most retailers, Best Buy has already revealed what it plans to have on sale during Black Friday 2019. As with Target, Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has been released early, and it features several PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch deals along with the usual excellent savings on TVs, computers, movies, and numerous other items.

Some of these deals are even live now and will refresh daily in the days leading up to Black Friday proper, so make sure to check back every day to see what’s on sale for its Black Friday price. But you’ll have to wait for the big Black Friday sale itself to get most of the deals, which include offers like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $40 on PS4 and Xbox One, Resident Evil 2 Remake for $15 on both consoles, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Switch for $45.

The highly acclaimed Better Call Saul returns next year. Season 5 of the Breaking Bad prequel spin-off premieres on AMC in February, and the first teaser has been released.

The promo was tweeted by the show’s official account. It opens with a close-up of attorney Saul Goodman’s business card, before the camera moves back, revealing that is is being held by a felon in handcuffs. The premiere date is then confirmed: February 2023, 2020. Check it out below:

Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk as Goodman–real name Jimmy McGill. As fans will know, the show has spent the last four seasons charting McGill’s attempts to kickstart a legitimate legal career, before his final transformation into the shady Goodman at the end of Season 4.

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Odenkirk spoke about where the character goes from here. “He just needs to get the office and come up with the idea that, ‘Who will be beneficiary of these particular skills? Who would value them the most?’,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s a long journey to drug dealers and scumbags are gonna appreciate how fast and loose I play with the truth. They’re gonna marvel at it and appreciate it and not in any way have any issue with being a con-job lawyer.”

In related news, the Breaking Bad movie El Camino hit Netflix last month. Check out GameSpot’s El Camino review here.

In the midst of Google Stadia‘s launch window, another cloud-based game streaming service is dropping its price for Black Friday 2019. The service is called Shadow, and it’s been around for a while. Shadow requires you to pay a subscription to access its data centers, which grant you your own virtual Windows 10 PC with high-end specs–you’re essentially renting a gaming PC and then streaming it to your device. While a year-long subscription comes out to $25 per month, Shadow’s price will drop down to $13 a month (one-year commitment) for Black Friday.

Since you’re accessing a remote, high-end desktop PC, you’ll be able to sign in to your own digital store accounts. Be it Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, or anywhere else, you’ll have access to their storefronts and your library. Google Stadia is a closed platform with its own store and titles, so you won’t be able to play any of the games you already own. However, Stadia doesn’t require a subscription if you’re okay with streaming your games in 1080p with stereo sound. An optional Stadia Pro membership is available for $10 a month and gets you 4K streaming, surround sound, free games, and special discounts.

Shadow lets you stream a gaming PC to any compatible device with a decent internet connection.

Shadow streaming service | $13 per month

You’ll also have access to the internet speeds of Shadow’s data centers to download content and game online, which is rated at about 800 Mbps down with 1ms latency–remember, you’re only using your internet connection to view your remote PC. Currently, Shadow’s specs are made up of the following:

• OS: Windows 10 Home Edition
• CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2678 v3 @ 2.5GHz
• GPU: Nvidia Quadro P5000
• Memory: 12 GB
• Storage: 256 GB QEMU Drive

With Shadow, you’ll be streaming a video feed of your virtual desktop, and like Stadia, data consumption and internet speed will be part of the equation. Shadow’s app is compatible with any Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 or MacOS computer and certain Android and iOS versions (controlling Shadow between different platforms will vary).

The app lets you set your bit rate between 5 Mbps to 70 Mbps at 5 Mbps intervals, giving you some control over image quality and data usage. It’s recommended you have at least 15 Mbps down and connect via wired Ethernet or 5GHz Wi-Fi; Shadow consumes between 5 Mbps to 25 Mbps depending on settings and conditions.

Like many other cloud-based game streaming services, Shadow has its ups and downs–we reviewed the service and its separate set-top box earlier this year, so be sure to check out our Shadow Ghost and Shadow cloud gaming service review.

We’ve already seen some great Black Friday 2019 deals on the PS4’s PlayStation VR headset, and now we’re seeing some nice discounts on Oculus headsets for the upcoming Black Friday weekend. The Facebook-owned VR company has a new bundle for its Oculus Quest headset, in addition to deals on the Oculus Rift S, the Oculus Go, and Facebook’s Portal camera.

Oculus plans to bundle its all-in-one Oculus Quest headset with all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, starting November 21 until January 31. You’ll need to activate your Oculus Quest within 30 days of your purchase to get Vader Immortal for free, with March 2 being the last possible day to redeem the offer.

While the Quest doesn’t receive a special price, Oculus is discounting the rest of its VR headsets for Black Friday. Starting November 28 until December 2, the Oculus Rift S and both versions of the Oculus Go will be discounted by $50.

Facebook also plans to discount its Portal devices, which are touchscreen displays that let you video call your friends and family, display photos, and control your smart home with built-in Alexa support, in addition to a lot more. The Portal, Portal Mini, and Portal TV are all discounted by $50, while the Portal Plus sees a price cut of $30. You can see the full list of deals below.

Black Friday Oculus Rift VR deals

Oculus Quest 64 GB or 128 GB + Vader Immortal bundle | $400 or $500

Oculus is bundling all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, with every purchase of the Oculus Quest headset from November 21 to January 31. The Oculus Quest is an all-in-one, completely cord-free VR headset–no PC required–that comes with 64 GB or 128 GB of storage. There’s no discount, but you save $30 getting the Star Wars VR series for free. On top of that, Vader Immortal is a great way for Star Wars fans to experience virtual reality.

Oculus Rift S | $350 ($400)

Oculus Rift S is the latest revision of Oculus’s PC VR headset. You’ll need a PC with the hardware specs to run the VR headset and its software, but everything else comes with the package, including the Touch controllers. Starting on November 28, the Oculus Rift S will be $350.

Oculus Go 32 GB or 64 GB | $150 ($200) or $200 ($250)

The Oculus Go is a completely portable headset that’s better used for movies, shows, and other media than gaming. It’ll be available for $150 for the 32 GB version or $200 for the 64 GB version on Black Friday from November 28 to December 2.

Portal | $130 ($180)

Facebook’s Portal is a 10-inch, touchscreen display that lets you video chat with friends and family through Facebook’s Messenger and WhatsApp–thankfully, they can use any device they want to communicate with you. The cool thing about the Portal is that the Smart Camera automatically follows your position by panning and zooming to get you in the frame. On top of all that, you can control your smart home and listen to music with Alexa support as well as display photos while you’re not talking to anyone. For Black Friday, the Portal will be $130 from November 28 to December 2.

Portal Mini | $80 ($130)

The Portal Mini is exactly like the regular Portal–except it’s mini. The eight-inch Portal does everything the 10-inch does, including the Smart Camera movement, Alexa support, and photo display. From November 28 to December 2, it’ll cost $80.

Portal TV | $100 ($150)

The Portal TV plugs into your television, turning your television into a Portal device. It also gives you the ability to watch and listen to streaming services like Prime Video, CBS Access, and Spotify. Like other Portal devices, it features the Smart Camera, Alexa support, and more. It’ll cost $100 during Black Friday, from November 28 to December 2.

Portal + | $250 ($280)

The Portal Plus features everything the other portals do except with a much bigger, 15.6-inch 1080p screen. It also comes with two 20w speakers that offer richer sound than the other Portal devices. For Black Friday, it’ll cost $250 from November 28 to December 2.
