While The Verge’s deals team has namely focused on covering video game deals this past week, our friends over at Polygon have been assembling a nice selection of the analog variety. There are a lot of board games still on sale right now, too, from tabletop classics like 7 Wonders to deep role-playing titles like Gloomhaven.
Black Friday isn’t until next week, but we’re already seeing steep discounts on some of the best TVs of the year, including LG’s C2 OLED. As outlined in Chris Welch’s review, the gamer-friendly set offers quick performance and exceptional black levels, as well as a brighter panel than the last-gen C1.
Right now, the 42-inch model is down to just $899.99 ($400 off) at Best Buy.
Amazon recently dropped a slate of new gadgets — including a new entry-level Kindle and a fifth-gen Echo Dot speaker — but it’s the last-gen devices that are receiving the biggest discounts right now. The latest Echo Show 5 is currently on sale for an all-time low of $34.99, for instance, which is great if you’re looking for a compact smart display for your nightstand.
Call it what you will, but Amazon’s 48-hour sale is set to end tonight at 11:59PM PT. The Verge’s deals team will continue to update our main deals roundup until then, however, there’s still time to save on budget-friendly picks like the Jabra Elite 3, the third-gen Echo Dot, and SooPii’s power meter-equipped charging cable, among others.
For the second time this year, Amazon is hosting a 48-hour deal blitz. The retailer’s Prime Early Access Sale features a lot of not-so-great deals, but it’s still a great chance to save on Apple’s new AirPods Pro, Amazon devices like the latest Kindle Paperwhite and Amazon Smart Plug, and a host of other discounted tech featured in our main deals roundup.
Sweepstakes are still cool, right? Well, we’ve been running one with our friends over at The Strategist for the last several weeks, offering Verge readers a chance to take home a smorgasbord of tech goodies and gadgets. There’s still time to drop your name in the virtual hat, too; the last day to enter is October 19th.
