It’s a great time to consider buying Nintendo’s latest console. | Photo: Cameron Faulkner / The Verge
Cyber week is almost over, but there are still some fantastic Cyber Monday deals to grab. One deal we can’t stop highlighting is the unexpected $50 off Nintendo’s Switch 2 console bundle, which includes Mario Kart World. It’s now priced at $449.99 (down from $499.99). You can find this bundle at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. This is the ideal Switch 2 console to pick up for the holidays since it comes with Mario Kart World, a fun racing game that typically costs $79.99 on its own. So, you’re essentially getting it for free!
We certainly didn’t expect to see a price drop for the new handheld console this week, and we’re thrilled the deal has lasted several days. Since we’re not sure how long this will last, we’re treating every day as if it could be the last opportunity.
If you’re in the market for a Switch 2 console, you might want to consider picking up some extras with it. Alongside game recommendations, we have guides featuring budget-friendly wireless controllers, top-notch protective cases, and the best screen protectors we’ve tested for the Switch 2.

We noticed something interesting from our Black Friday coverage: our readers love ice cream. They jumped on the $70 off deal still available at Amazon and Best Buy for Ninja’s Creami ice cream maker, which can seemingly do it all. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more versatile machine at its sale price of $279.99 (if you like treating yourself and your family to ice cream cones, the Creami will pay for itself quicker than you might think). This machine has many modes, allowing you to create everything from soft serve to thicker, scoopable ice cream. You can whip up sorbet, gelato, frozen custard, froyo, or milkshakes. One full batch can fill four small cones or scooped bowls.
Ninja Creami Scoop & Swirl
Ninja’s clever 2-in-1 machine can spin up soft serve and traditional hard scoops in just a few steps, as well as creamy milkshakes, gelato, and frozen yogurt.

Not everyone is ready for smart glasses with built-in cameras, and we understand that (some of our team feels the same). However, if you’re looking for glasses with a bit of intelligence—like the ability to take calls, listen to music and podcasts, or get help from Alexa—check out the Black Friday bundle featuring Amazon’s latest Echo Frames. Typically priced over $300 before Black Friday, you can currently snag these glasses in various styles for just $114.99 at Amazon.
Amazon Echo Frames (latest version)
These smart glasses look like regular eyeglasses but allow you to listen to music, take calls, and execute a range of Alexa-enabled tasks. They provide up to six hours of audio playback with their open-ear design.

Other Verge-approved deals we’ve discovered this week:
For a limited time, B&H Photo has the best price on the M4 Mac Mini with 24GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It’s an unusual configuration, but it’s fast! Normally priced at $779, you can get it for $679. Most folks wanting that much memory might prefer a larger SSD. Unfortunately, the 24GB RAM with a 512GB SSD option costs $904 at Amazon. If you’re okay with just 16GB of RAM but want the 512GB SSD, Amazon has that model for $729. Personally, I’d recommend going for the model with more RAM. Read our review.
JBL’s Tour One M3 over-ear headphones have dropped to their lowest price ever at Amazon and B&H Photo, with black or blue available for $249.99 (originally $449, but often discounted to about $380). They stack up impressively against other flagship headphones regarding sound quality and comfort, featuring robust active noise cancellation. They caught my attention thanks to a May 2025 review from Wirecutter. A standout feature is the Auracast transmitter that lets you connect to any device with a headphone jack for easy Bluetooth streaming.
I have another treat for your ears—this one’s particularly great for PC gamers. The Fractal Scape wireless gaming headset is currently priced at $169.99 ($30 off) at Amazon and Walmart. It sounds fantastic for gaming and music, and its web browser-based tool makes it a breeze to customize equalizers and tweak the built-in LED lights on the ear cups. Plus, recharging is easy—just pop them onto the included docking station. Adjusting volume or skipping tracks is a cinch with its Digital Crown-esque knob. Read our review.
