The Gears 5 Limited Edition Xbox One X comes with a unique design for the 1 TB console and controller, in addition to digital download codes for Gears 5, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, and Gears of War 4–yes, the entire core series.

Xbox One S All-Digital Edition | $200 ($250)

Microsoft’s digital-only Xbox One S normally sells for $250, but gamers may find it more appealing at its current sale price of $200. This console doesn’t have a disc drive for playing physical games or movies. It does come with download codes for Minecraft, Forza Horizon 3, and Sea of Thieves, a wireless controller, and a one-month Xbox Live Gold subscription.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate: Buy 3 months, get 3 months free | $45

Combining Xbox Live Gold with Game Pass for both console and PC, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a worthwhile membership for any Xbox owner. Walmart is offering three months free with any purchase of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, essentially getting you six months for $45. While you can currently get your first month for $1 over at the Xbox Store, this is still a solid deal if you’re already a subscriber, since you could tack this onto your existing membership. [Update: Newegg is now offering the same deal for just $40 with code EMCUTVY32 at checkout.]

Vizio 55″ 4K HDR Smart TV | $398 ($428)

Outside the realm of gaming, Walmart also has discounts televisions and other electronics, including two great 4K TVs from Vizio in 55- and 65-inch options. If you’re waiting for Black Friday to buy a TV, this deal is worth considering ahead of time. Both sets feature HDR, Apple AirPlay, and Chromecast support, in addition to Alexa/Google voice control and its own built-in smart apps like Netflix. I actually own the 55-inch version of this particular series of TV, and when paired with a soundbar, it’s a great experience for gaming and movies.

Apple AirPods | $144 / $169

Apple AirPods are all the rage these days, and while I can’t shake the fear of them dropping out of my ear, falling into a sewer, and then going on a perilous journey through crocodiles and mole people, this deal sure is enticing. There are options for the AirPods with both wired and wireless charging cases.
