The one deal we can\u2019t stop telling readers about is the unexpected $50 discount on <strong>Nintendo\u2019s Switch 2 console bundle that includes <em>Mario Kart World<\/em><\/strong><em>, <\/em>bringing it down to $449.99 (was $499.99). Currently, you can snag the bundle at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FC5FJZ9Z\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Nintendo-Switch-2-plus-Mario-Kart-World-Bundle\/16422361549\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbuy.com\/product\/switch-2-mario-kart-world-bundle-nintendo-switch-2\/J7GSL57HFZ\/sku\/6614325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Buy<\/a>. It\u2019s the best Switch 2 console to buy for the holidays because it comes with <em>Mario Kart World<\/em>, a fun racing game that\u2019s $79.99 to buy outside of the bundle. You\u2019re getting it for free instead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">A price drop for the new handheld was about the last thing we expected to see this week, and we\u2019re happy that the deal has endured over multiple days. We don\u2019t know when it will end, so we\u2019re treating every day like it\u2019ll be the last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">If you\u2019re shopping for a Switch 2 console, there are some extras that you may want to consider buying along with it.

This machine has a ton of modes, letting you craft soft serve or thicker, scoopable ice cream. You can use it to craft sorbet, gelato, frozen custard, or froyo \u2013 or whip up a milkshake.

We get it (some <em>Verge <\/em>staffers feel the same way). However, if you want glasses with some smarts \u2014 the ability to take audio calls and listen to music and podcasts, or get Alexa assistance with questions or commands \u2014 look no further than the Black Friday bundle that includes Amazon\u2019s latest Echo Frames glasses. The glasses typically sold for over $300 before Black Friday, but you can get the glasses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Echo-Frames-3rd-Gen-Smart-audio-glasses-with-Alexa--Rectangle-frames-in-classic-black--with-blue-light-filtering-lenses\/dp\/B09SVDWTYC\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multiple styles<\/a> for just $114.99 at Amazon.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>Amazon Echo Frames (latest verion)<\/h3>\n<div class=\"product-description\">The smart glasses resemble a pair of regular eyeglasses but can be used to listen to music, take calls, and perform a range of Alexa-enabled tasks.

Normally $779, you can snag it for $679. Of course, most people who want <em>this <\/em>much memory probably want a bigger SSD than what\u2019s offered here. Unfortunately, getting 24GB RAM with a 512GB SSD costs $904 at Amazon. If you prefer having a 512GB SSD and are alright settling with just 16GB of RAM, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Apple-2024-Desktop-Computer-10%E2%80%91core\/dp\/B0DLBX4B1K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> has that model for $729. As for my opinion on the matter, get the model with more RAM. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/24289730\/apple-mac-mini-m4-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>JBL\u2019s Tour One M3 over-ear headphones<\/strong> plummeted to their lowest price yet at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0F4RT7HFT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1875212-REG\/jbl_jbltom3avibluam_tour_one_m3_smart.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;H Photo<\/a>, where the black or blue color schemes are $249.99 (originally $449, but commonly discounted to about $380). These hang with other flagship headphones in terms of sound quality, comfort, and have a robust active noise cancellation effect (they hit my radar thanks to a May 2025 review from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/jbl-tour-one-m3-headphones-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Wirecutter<\/em><\/a>). They\u2019re especially interesting because they include an Auracast transmitter, with which you can plug into any device to beam a Bluetooth signal that any other Auracast-enabled device can connect to (the Tour One M3 is supported, obviously). In normal use, the transmitter is handy for setting up no-fuss connections to really any device with a headphone jack, be it in-flight entertainment, a treadmill, a laptop, or a portable gaming console, to provide some examples.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I have another treat for your ears \u2014 this one being particularly good for PC gamers. The <strong>Fractal Scape<\/strong> is a wireless gaming headset better than most at its sale price of $169.99 ($30 off) at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Flip\/dp\/B0D5HK6JRS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walmart.com\/ip\/Fractal-Design-Scape-Light-Circumaural-Gaming-Headset-with-Charging-Base-Grey\/16970268634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walmart<\/a>. Not only does it sound very good while playing games and listening to music, its web browser-based tool makes it very easy to customize equalizers, in addition to tweaking the built-in LEDs built into the ear cups. Two other things make this one worth considering: recharging them is really easy, as you simply put them on the included docking station, and its Digital Crown-esque knob makes adjusting the volume or skipping tracks a breeze. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/797879\/fractal-design-scape-pc-gaming-headset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read our review.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a great time to consider buying Nintendo\u2019s latest console. | Photo: Cameron Faulkner \/ The Verge Cyber week has [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classe"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.actutech.app\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
