While that handheld is only currently offered at a modest 7% off, the Mario red edition is at a steeper discount, if you’d like to go for a themed route.

Xbox Series S/X: How To Pair Controllers
The Xbox Controllers have multiple ways to pair up to consoles; this is how it’s done
Sadly, but not surprisingly, there’s not many savings to report on for Sony fans. PlayStation 4 and 5 players can snag a few games for sale, but when it comes to actual hardware, it looks like this console is benched during Gaming Week. If you’re in the market for a new controller, consider the PDP Victrix Pro BFG Wireless, a feature-rich controller that plays on both PS4 and 5 plus PC.
