Today’s spotlight deal is the return of the Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle from Black Friday (well, it’s very similar). The super popular Oculus Quest VR headset is back in stock as well. Rounding out the list are some super cheap totally wireless earbuds, a killer Alienware gaming PC, and a great deal on the best Raspberry Pi 4 kit.
Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $299
Back from the dead! This deal is very similar to the Black Friday deal we saw everywhere (now expired), except that this Switch includes the gray Joy-Cons instead of the neon ones. Note that the Switch is a first generation model (identical but with ~2 hour shorter battery life than the current model). It’s still an excellent deal considering you get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for free – one of the few games that never dropped in price during Black Friday.
Free Vader Immortal with Oculus Quest VR Headset (Back in Stock at Walmart)
The Oculus Quest has been one of the hottest selling gaming peripherals over the holidays and it’s sold out practically everywhere. Although you can get it from Oculus directly, it ships out at in March. Walmart currently has it with an earlier ship date.
For a limited time, purchase an Oculus Quest and you’ll get all three episodes of the Vader Immortal VR game for free. There are many reasons why the Quest is the best VR headset to get right now. It’s completely untethered with no external sensors to set up, it’s powerful enough to play games like Vader Immortal, Beat Saber, and Pistol Whip, and it’s far less expensive than all the other newer generation VR headsets that have been released. An Oculus Link beta software is also out in the wild, which allows you to connect the Quest to a PC using a Type C cable and use it like a regular VR headset powered by your gaming PC.

Alienware Aurora R9 Intel Core i7-9700K Unlocked 8-Core GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming PC with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $1514.99
This is a fully decked out gaming rig right out of the box with no DIY upgrades required. It features an unlocked 9th gen Intel Core i7-9700K processor for better overclocking headroom and the latest RTX 2080 SUPER video card (considerably faster than a GTX 1080 Ti). It’s also loaded with 16GB of memory and a very generous 1TB SSD.
- Use code “50OFF699” to get it at Dell for $1514.99
55-Inch Vizio M-Series Quantum 4K QLED Smart HDTV for $378
This TV is actually cheaper than on Black Friday (was $398). This “M556-G4” model came out in November right before the holiday season. It uses the same “Quantum Dot” technology used in Samsung QLED TVs. It hcan display full HDR content thanks to its full-array LED backlighting with local area dimming, wide color gamut, and plenty of brightness.
Monster Clarity 101 AirLinks Truly Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for $39.99
If you’ve wanted the completely wire-free earphones but didn’t want to pay $100 or more on AirPods, Galaxy Buds, or PowerBeats Pro, then this is a much, much less expensive alternative. Monster is the same brand that made those uber expensive cables in the past, so they are no stranger to the audiophile market. These earbuds normally go for $100, but there’s a $20 instant discount and a $40 coupon code that brings it down significantly. User reviews on Amazon are great.
- Use code “6U8QWFNK” to get it on Amazon for $39.99
Rockstar Energy Drink Pure Zero Energy Drink, Silver Ice, 16oz (Pack of 24) for $24
You won’t find Rockstar for $1 per can (or less) at any neighborhood grocery store. This one is calorie free, so you won’t have to worry about ruining your diet. Don’t drink too much at a time, but this is a handy drink for those late night gaming sessions (or for work the next morning).
Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Complete Starter Kit with Clear Transparent or Black Case and Built in Fan
This is the best kit you can buy for the RaspBerry Pi 4, mainly because it includes a small 40mm cooling fan and a case that fits it. Overheating is not uncommon with some of the other kits because of the fact that the only cooling is provided by heatsinks and the case is fully enclosed. You also get a 32GB MicroSD card, power supply, and HDMI cable. This same kit sells for $100 on Amazon.
Out March 11: Ori and the Will of the Wisps Collector’s Edition for Xbox One for $49.99
The sequel to the excellent Ori and the Blind Forest (which we scored an 8.5/10) is out early this year and the Collector’s Edition is up for preorder at a very reasonable price. You’ll get the game with a steelbook case, artbook, and both physical and digital soundtracks.
BestOffice Gaming Chair for $49.99
If you’re looking for the absolute cheapest gaming chair, then look no further. I’m not going to tell you that this $55 chair holds its own against a $400 chair, but it will get the job done and in style. This is a remarkably low price for a gaming chair, but do your own research to make sure this is what you’re looking for.
WD Black P10 “Game Drive” 5TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive for $109.99
You better hurry on this deal because shipping is already slightly delayed (an indicator that it will sell out soon). This portable hard drive is compatible as external storage for your PC, PS4, or Xbox One. Portable drives are physically much smaller than their desktop hard drive siblings. They are just as fast and require no additional power other than the USB port. The only tradeoff is the higher cost per GB, but that point is moot with today’s deal.
PlayStation 4 DualShock Controllers for $39.99 Each
A few styles of DualShock controllers are back down to Black Friday pricing for a limited time. There is no better alternative for the PS4 and you’ll want extra controllers on hand f you scored some great deals on sports titles like NBA 2K20, FIFA 20, and Madden NFL 20.
