Just when you thought all of the Prime Days, and Black Fridays, and Cyber Mondays, and holiday sales were mostly behind us now, Amazon has just officially announced Super Saturday! What on earth is Super Saturday you ask? It is Amazon’s official last-minute holiday sale event and it goes live this weekend. Details await below. 

We are getting down to the wire now folks – there might still be slightly over a week until Santa makes his magical voyage, but we all know UPS and Amazon delivery isn’t nearly as fast as Rudolph. Shipping times are slipping and, perhaps even more importantly, holiday pricing is too. You’re going to want to get on the best gear as soon as you can if you’re hoping to take advantage of both, and we have put together a (relatively) short list of highlights down below. Whether you’re looking land something for a special someone or yourself, now’s the time to get in there.

Arc is a brand best known for its aerospace metal bumper-style cases for iPhone, but it also unleashed an equally as unique and impressive-looking frame-style case for AirPods Pro early this year and now its ready to bring one to Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3. The new model is now available for purchase on the official site and you can get a closer look below.

One of the biggest stories in gaming of the year, despite the launch of Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Bonanza, was Hollow Knight: Silksong. The long-awaited title finally made landfall to rave reviews, and now developer Team Cherry has taken to its official news feed to debut the new teaser trailer for the Hollow Knight: Silksong – Sea of Sorrow expansion and to officially announce the imminent release of an updated version of Hollow Knight for the Nintendo Switch 2. 

Best Buy has now transitioned from yesterday’s 24-hour only Tech the Halls event to a new Last-Minute Savings sale. And by new I mean it appears as though many of the deals are simply carry over offers from yesterday’s event, but that also means there is still time to land some notable discounts on tech and more with holiday shipping. This includes everything from AirPods and MacBooks through to LG smart TVs, Android phones, Dyson vacs, and more. 

The 2025 Game Awards goes live tonight Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with over 3 hours of game reveals and almost certainly some world premiers, musical performances, and…some awards too I guess. I’m really in it for the game reveals and new gameplay footage we are sure to be graced with very soon, so let’s see what Keighley and the gang have in-store for us – watch the show live along with us down below. 

Alongside its holiday daily deals, it already pumped out quite a notable weekly holiday sale that kicked off on Sunday, but it isn’t done just yet. Ushering the best price yet on Apple Watch Series 11, its holiday sales (thus far) are not to be ignored, and not only does it have another weekly event inbound this weekend, it also announced an official last-minute Holiday Countdown Sale. 

Nintendo has now unveiled the next GameCube game coming to Switch 2 via its Switch Online Nintendo Classics library – Wario World – and it’s playable right now. 

Back in September Amazon unleashed a whole slate of new gear, from the latest Echo Dot Max and Show smart displays, through to the latest from its affordable Blink smart home brand, and some new Kindles. Among the headliners here were the all-new Kindle Scribe – Amazon’s second-generation reader-meets-tablet – and the new Kindle Scribe Colorsoft – the first Scribe model with a color display. Both are now up for purchase starting today for the first time. 

A brand new Spigen Apple Watch Band Organizer just surfaced on its official Amazon storefront out of no where. Harkening back to something like Twelve South’s Time Porter, the new Spigen delivers what appears to be a more robust solution with a fabric-wrapped, wall-mounted approach that also feature an accessory shelf of sorts along the top. 

Nintendo has now officially the next games set to land in its Nintendo 64 Switch Online library. While many folks are really waiting on the next Game Cube additions, Nintendo is turning back to its N64 library this month to introduce a pair of classic 3D polygonal platformers (and they are going live every soon). 

Update: The new Virtual Boy hardware is now available for purchase directly from Nintendo for Switch Online members. “This product can be purchased by those who have a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. To play games in the Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics, you will need an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Nintendo Switch Lite is not compatible.”

During today’s lengthy Nintendo Direct, we did not get any updates on the Switch Online GameCube library, but Nintendo did officially announce Virtual Boy! It is ready to add an entirely new console to its Nintendo Classics collection in the form of the ultra-retro Virtual Boy library alongside an actual Virtual Boy peripheral you stick your Switch or Switch 2 inside of. Details below. 

Aulumu is an Apple gear accessory brand that should be on your radar if it isn’t already. It is the maker of a ton of chargers, iPhone cases, and even some unique industrial design-inspired add-on gear, but it is its Apple Watch bands I am most impressed by usually, and it has now unleashed a pair of new models. 

Burton Goods makes one of the nicer looking leather cases for AirPods Pro 2, and it just released its new AirPods Pro 3 model – 9to5 readers can score one with an exclusive 20% off launch deal using code 9TO520 at checkout too. 

Amazon is still carrying over the, thus far, all-time low pricing on Apple Watch Series 11, but after the new official details that landed this morning, you might want to hold off – we now know the Apple Watch Series 11 will be even lower starting very soon. 

Target’s first official holiday deal ad of the season is now live, giving shoppers a solid look at hundreds of upcoming deals set to go live this weekend. As we push closer and closer to the holidays, these final sales before shipping cut-off times hit are a great way to shore up your gift needs without spending full price, and the next major Target sale is set to go live this Sunday. Check out the deals below. 

Spigen makes some of the more interesting and affordable Apple gear accessories out there. We had a chance to take a closer hands-on look at its new Alpine-style Loop this year, as well as its Trail Loop-like model, both of which come in a fraction of the price of the official Apple options, and we just spotted its brand new DA30S Wrist Lanyard for AirPods, iPhone, your keys, and just about anything else for just $17 Prime shipped. 

We have explored many of the best full grain leather-focused accessory brands out there, but a new independent purist straight out on the lone star state was recently picked on our radar – Bluebonnet. After getting our hands-on some of its iPhone 17 cases and Apple Watch bands, we think it should probably be on yours too.
