One of our top picks of all Black Friday deals was the Sonos Era 100 smart speaker, and we’re happy to report that deal has returned. Right now, you can get the Era 100 in black or white for its lowest price of $199 ($50 off) at Amazon Best Buy, , or direct from Sonos.

The Era 100 is one of Sonos’ latest Wi-Fi-connected speakers, offering some impressive sound in a compact package. It may not have the spatial audio tricks of its much bigger Era 300 cousin, but the Era 100 can fit just about anywhere in your home, and if you own a turntable, you can even pump that audio through a multiroom Sonos system by way of a simple USB-C adapter.

Read our review of the Sonos Era 100.

Sonos’ Era 100 smart speaker is a replacement for the older Sonos One, utilizing two tweeters (left and right) and one larger woofer. In addition to Wi-Fi, the Era 100 also supports Bluetooth audio and line-in playback via an optional 3.5mm to USB-C adapter.

If you want to score a sizable deal on some of the many games that came out this year, you may be in luck. HSN is by $6 to $7 off each, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III ( / ), Assassin’s Creed Mirage ( / ), Detective Pikachu Returns (), and Sonic Superstars ( / ). But it gets really good if you’re a first-time shopper and use code HOLIDAY23 at checkout to save $20 on a purchase of $40 or more.

This knocks down the price of a recent game like the newest ($27 off), which is a great deal — especially if you’re in it just for the online multiplayer (my apologies, campaign devs). Also, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom () may not have any additional discounts, but you can use that same code to get it for a very good price of $49.99 ($20 off).

Tears of the Kingdom is the latest installment in the Zelda franchise. The storyline and gameplay are similar to Breath of the Wild’s, but enough has changed to make Link’s return to Hyrule plenty special. Read our review.

The latest Call of Duty for 2023 features a new campaign, online multiplayer, and a new open-world Zombies mode.

The Google Pixel Tablet is currently available once again for its lowest price of $399 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and . Android tablets may not have quite the breadth of full-size optimized apps that iPads have at their disposal, but the Pixel Tablet is a great device with some neat around-the-house handiness by way of its included speaker dock. When you drop this 11-inch slate onto its magnetic dock, it switches the audio source to the dock’s much larger speaker and also begins charging.

If you’ve ever been the type to leave a tablet unused in a drawer for days or weeks at a time — only to find it completely drained when you actually want to use it — you may especially see the appeal of having a dedicated spot to keep it charged and doubling as a smart display.

Google’s 11-inch Pixel Tablet uses the same Tensor G2 chip found in the Pixel 7 lineup. It also comes with a magnetic charging dock so you can use it as a de facto smart display.

Some more Monday morning quarterbacking (of deals):

  • Samba de Amigo: Party Central on the Nintendo Switch is selling for just $14.99 ($14 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That’s a very low price for the fun musical party game. It may not have proper maracas controllers like the originals on the Sega Dreamcast, but you can easily get into it with just Joy-Con controllers, and it’s especially fun for kids. Read our review.
  • Alright, one more game deal: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch is selling for $39.99 ($20 off) at Amazon. The anthology includes much of the ’90s and early 2000s MGS classics like Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater as well as their original NES predecessors. Read our impressions.
  • Apple’s third-gen AirPods with a Lightning charging case are $139.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. This is about as cheap as it gets for the latest incarnation of the base-model AirPods, with the small sacrifice of them not being the versions with a wireless charging / MagSafe case. But they’re still very fine non-ANC earbuds that support spatial audio and Apple’s convenient and easy pairing. Read our review.
  • The white version of the Elgato Stream Deck MK. 2 macro controller is selling for $119.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. It’s not the lowest price for the 15-key device that we’ve seen (it has dipped as low as $109.99 before), but it’s a great deal if you do livestreams or want to set up all kinds of fun one-button shortcuts on your computer.
