Black Friday 2018 Nintendo Switch Deals Starting: Games, Consoles, And Accessories On Sale

Posted: 18 Nov 2018 07:44 AM PST

Black Friday is now days away. 2018's deals look to be better than last year's and you can actually find some Nintendo Switch game deals right now, as Best Buy has launched its Black Friday sale for select My Best Buy members. But the majority of the deals, including Switch bundles and games, start next week.

Many stores have already released their ads, and in some cases, their offers will be available hours or even days in advance. In terms of the Nintendo Switch console, we're seeing an identical deal popping up in a lot of places since we first saw it in Target's preview ad. Target, Walmart, and Best Buy will sell the system for $300, as per usual (or $299 in Walmart's case), but the system will be a special bundle that comes with a free copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Unfortunately, if you were hoping for a sub-$300 Switch, we have yet to see anyone drop the system's price. If the aforementioned bundle doesn't appeal to you, Kohl's has a more expensive option that also comes with $90 in Kohl's Cash.

A large number of Switch games are on sale, although the sheer scale of these deals is not the same as on PS4 or Xbox One, as you'd expect. Still, there are some good offers: last year's surprisingly excellent XCOM-like, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, drops to $20 at Best Buy; Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate drops to $35 at Target, Walmart, and Best Buy; Arms goes to $35 at Walmart; and Bayonetta 2 (which includes the previous game) will be $40 at Best Buy.

Nintendo will presumably launch its own game sale through the Switch Eshop, but as of yet that has not yet begun, as is the case with the PSN and Xbox Live sales. We'll report back if (but, more likely, when) it does.

Below, you'll find all of the Black Friday deals on Switch consoles, games, and accessories that we've spotted so far. More deals should be announced in the day ahead, and we'll keep this page updated. For even more, check out our full Black Friday deals coverage.

Black Friday 2018 Hottest Tablet Deals: iPad, Amazon Fire, Nook - Updated With Fire Kids Edition

Posted: 18 Nov 2018 06:45 AM PST

Black Friday is less than a week away so the big sales are achingly close. If you are looking for a tablet or ebook reader, then read on…

Apple iPad 2018 and Apple Pencil.Apple

This post is now updated to include details of reductions on all Kids Edition Fire tablets, all available right now.

The deals highlighted in this post were independently selected and do not contain affiliate links. If Fitbit smart trackers are also of interest, check out my round-up of Black Friday Fitbit deals here which has already been updated. I've also rounded up the best Apple Watch deals so far and the best smart home deals from Target

I'll update this post so do check back or please click the Follow button on my contributor's page to follow me here at Forbes. Please also check out the masterful Black Friday guides on Forbes across numerous topics by Gordon Kelly. 

Apple iPad, Amazon Fire and other tablets are the pre-eminent way to consume media that your phone is just too small to handle. And ebook readers are ideal for reading without distractions. There are no major discounts yet on the best ebook readers of all, the Amazon Kindle, but check back to see what is announced in the next few days. Meantime, here are the best deals on tablets and ebook readers from Barnes & Noble, and the cheapest way to snag an iPad or Amazon Fire…

The two new sizes of Apple iPad Pro.Apple

Apple iPad Pro

The latest model is currently reduced by up to $50 at Mac Mall, so prices start at $759 for the 11in wi-fi model with 64GB storage ($40 off the regular $799 price) and from $949 for the 12.9in screen wi-fi model with 64GB, that's $50 off the regular $949 price. Check back here to see what other stores are offering reductions as they are announced.

iPad and Pencil.Apple

Apple iPad

Although the new iPad Pro is the latest and most powerful tablet, the latest-generation entry-level iPad, released in March this year, is a superb and keenly-priced gadget. Especially since it's now compatible with the Apple Pencil stylus (that's the first-generation one, not the new one that works only with the latest iPad Pro models).

Anyway, that entry-level tablet has a great ticket price, $329, but for Black Friday it'll be available for a massive $80 less, just $249. This is one of the best prices for an iPad and comes highly recommended. So, where can you buy it? Walmart, for a start, but expect others to join the fray.

Rapper 2 Milly Intends to Take Legal Action Against Epic Games Over 'Stolen' Fortnite Dance Moves

Posted: 17 Nov 2018 12:15 PM PST

fortnite dance emote

2 Milly, the rapper behind the popular “Milly Rock” dance move, has told CBS that he intends to take legal action against Epic Games for using his signature dance as an emote that players could buy in Fortnite.

“Everybody was just like, ‘Yo, your dance is in the game,'” he said. “They actually sell that particular move. It’s for purchase. That’s when I really was like…oh nah, this can’t go on too long.”

Back in July 2018, it was Chance The Rapper who highlighted the issue, noting that the original creatives behind Fortnite‘s popular dance emotes did not monetize the moves while Epic is making money from their sales.

Business and entertainment lawyer Merlyne Jean-Louis told CBS that the lawsuit won’t be straightforward. “There’s a lot of case lawsuits surrounding the copyright of music. Lyrics. Sounds,” she explained. “There’s a full body of case law related to that. But regarding choreographic works, that does not exist.”

2 Milly clarified that he doesn’t want to sue Epic “for all the millions” but wants to “protect what’s mine.”

Epic Games declined CBS’ request for comment.
