Month: January 2020

The Nintendo Switch was the best selling console of 2019 and we’re not surprised at all. The Switch was released nearly 3 years again and still no other console is able to match the Switch’s versatility. In addition, the already stellar gaming library has been bolstered with several high quality games in 2019, including Pokemon Sword and Shield, Super Mario Maker 2, Link’s Awakening, Ring Fit, and much more. With increased pressure from Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo is likely to be more aggressive with deals and promotions during 2020. Check here for all the best deals on Nintendo Switch consoles, accessories, and games.

Marvel’s Infinity Saga spanned a whopping 23 movies, but the four Avengers movies will always be seen as the tentpoles. Last August, Best Buy released a gorgeous steelbook box set featuring all four Avengers movies in 4K UHD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and digital. Though it usually goes for $150, collectors can pick it up for $50 off right now.

• The Avengers (2012)
• Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)
• Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
• Avengers: Endgame (2019)

At $100, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Avengers 4-Movie Collection, besting the $120 Black Friday price. The Best Buy-exclusive box set includes four individually packaged steelbooks, each emblazoned with the Avengers logo.

Make no mistake about it: This is a really good deal. Individual (non-steelbook) 4K UHD versions of the Avengers movies go for around $30 each. You’re getting each movie for $25, with the added benefit of this being a collector’s item that will likely become scarce in the coming years (maybe even months).

As an added bonus, the collection includes an exclusive letter written by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

Even in an era where streaming services dominant home media, Best Buy often releases attractive Blu-ray box sets. Star Wars fans will want to check out Best Buy’s Skywalker Saga box set, which includes all nine mainline films and is available to pre-order now.

Xbox Game Pass has kicked off the new year with a bang. While a full list of new arrivals for January has not been announced, Microsoft announced today that it has added Grand Theft Auto V to the Xbox One edition of the service, letting you play the full campaign or jump into GTA Online if you have a Gold (or Game Pass Ultimate ) subscription.

GTA 5 received a positive critical reception including a 9/10 from GameSpot when it launched on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013, but its ports to current-generation platforms and ongoing support for GTA Online have kept it going strong for years. The latest update, released in December, added the Diamond Casino Heist. The sprawling multiplayer mission lets you plan a big score with various approaches. Unexpected problems appear on the fly, to boost replayability.

If you enjoy your time in Los Santos enough to buy some DLC, the Game Pass membership entitles you to 10% discounts on the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack or Shark Cash Cards. You can also save 20% on the base game to add it to your permanent collection. And if you don’t have Game Pass yet, you can buy your first three months of a Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $1 through January 6.

Including GTA 5 in Game Pass is a surprise, especially given that the game is still consistently a top-seller after so many years. It even made the NPD list of top-sellers in October and November, in the midst of a busy shopping season filled with new game releases.

GTA 5 is playable now on Xbox Game Pass, and presumably there will be other games coming later this month to Game Pass. The service recently added some other notable games like The Witcher 3 and Pillars of Eternity.
