There are some great spotlight deals today. You can score the first ever major discount on the overbuilt Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which is confirmed to be compatible with the next generation Xbox release. Nioh 2 Special Edition is also available, and for just $20 more you score the steelbook case and the season pass. The Apple AirPods is still at its lowest price ever, and there’s a crazy deal right now on a high quality QLED TV under $500.
Out 3/14: Nioh 2 Special Edition Now Up for Preorder (Includes Season Pass)
We rated Nioh an “Amazing” 9.6/10 and have high expectations for the sequel. This PS4 exclusive is out in two months and the Special Edition just went up for preorder this week. The Special Edition includes the game with steelbook case, season pass, and an art book for only $20 more than the base edition. Preorder it now and you’ll automatically be adjusted for any and every price drop the game might see before its release.
The First Discount on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, Now $159.99
Amazon is offering a Prime exclusive discount of about 11% off, dropping the price from $179 to $160. This is very likely the nicest first party controller you can buy. This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, and includes a USB Type C cable with charging dock. It boasts up to 40 hours of battery life and can be used for both the Xbox and PC and will supposedly work with the next gen console too.
55″ TCL Series 6 4K QLED Smart HDTV for $467.49
The 2019 TCL 6-series might have the best image quality of any 55″ TV under $500. The biggest upgrade from the 2018 model is the Quantum LED (QLED) technology. In addition, this is a fully HDR capable TV thanks to its excellent wide color gamut and local dimming.

Newest Apple AirPods 2 Wireless Earphones for $129
It’s a bitter fight to the end to get Apple to drop prices on their very popular Apple Airpods. Today, the AirPods have dropped 20% off down to $129, which is the lowest price that we saw on Black Friday. These are truly wireless earphones with no cord connecting the two ear pieces. It also includes a charging case.
6th Generation Apple iPad 9.7″ 128GB WiFi + Cellular for Only $349 at Walmart
The 6th generation Apple iPad is only one generation old (the 7th gen was released in 2019) and is certainly far from being outdated. This particular model boasts both WiFi and cellular connectivity for internet access anywhere and everywhere. It normally runs for $559 but today you’d be saving over $200 off. Best of all, it’s brand new with a full Apple warranty.
Dell XPS 13 Touch 13-Inch 4K Intel Core i7 Laptop with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD (Lighter Than Macbook Air) for $1399.99
Use code “LTXPS132AFF”
This is the ultimate laptop for the road warrior or student at a very, very good price. This laptop is lighter than a MacBook Air thanks to its unibody aluminum and carbon fiber materials. It has a gorgeous 4K display that’s even touchscreen. Paired with the speedy Intel Core i7 processor is a generous 16GB of memory and a huge 2TB solid state drive. There are no discrete graphics, but for the intended audience, this would just add unnecessary heat, noise, and power consumption and reduce battery life.

Out Friday: Dark Samus and Richter Amiibo up for Preorder at Walmart
These two amiibo have been sold out, but they are back and just in time. Both amiibo will be released this Friday. Dark Samus in particular looks fantastic.
Out Friday: Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Collector’s Edition
If you’ve ever bought any Dragon Ball collector’s editions in the past, then you should know that the statues that come with them are some of the best we’ve seen from video game bundles in general. This collector’s edition includes the game with steelbook case, an 8″x8″x8″ diorama statue, 10″x12″ hardcover artbook, and some DLC. Kakarot is the biggest game for this month, and it’s out this Friday. Unlike FighterZ, which is a versus fighter, Kakarot promises to be a big open world adventure (with tons of fighting too, of course).
