Whether you’re on PlayStation or Xbox, you can pick up the open-world fantasy epic for $19.99 – a 60% drop from the MSRP.

Given that it’s IGN’s Game of the Year 2022, it’s a must-play, especially for under twenty bucks.

“Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path,” Mitchell Saltzman said in his review, and we stand by it.

It’s worth noting that this version doesn’t include the huge expansion Shadow of the Erdtree, which is large enough to be its own game – and even more challenging. We awarded it a 10 out of 10 score in our review, too. Unfortunately, the Shadow of the Erdtree version of Elden Ring is no longer discounted anywhere..

If you’re looking for something to play with friends, then Nightreign is well worth checking out. It condenses Elden Ring’s combat into a three-player hybrid between roguelite and battle royale as you’re pushed ever closer to challenging bosses.

It’s getting a 36% discount, bringing it down to just $34.99 on PS5 and Xbox.

Mitchell gave Nightreign a 7 out of 10 in his review, saying, “When Elden Ring Nightreign is played exactly as it was designed to be played, it’s one of the finest examples of a three-player co-op game around – but that’s harder to do than it should be, and playing solo is poorly balanced.”

Subsequent patches have smoothed out those jagged edges, but it’s still best played with a couple of buds.

Paper-Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is one of the most beloved Mario games of all time. The Nintendo Switch remake introduced several new features and quality-of-life updates, including the Partner Ring, which lets you quickly flip between partners, and new badges to unlock. Additionally, you can explore concept art and listen to the soundtrack in the Art and Sound Galleries, which can be filled out by obtaining Star Pieces. Beyond this, much work was put into the visual department, with updated sprites, enhanced graphics, and new lighting added to create a more premium experience.

Of course, the star of the show is the turn-based combat that Paper Mario is known for. Battles take place on a stage with toads in the audience, who actually can help change the course of battle by refilling the SP gauge. Each turn, you’ll have the chance to choose your attack, whether that be a jump, hammer, or special move. The Thousand-Year Door is a game of strategy, which is a huge shake-up to the traditional Mario formula found in the 3D platformers.

This pairs greatly with the Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box on TCGPlayer, as the card-selling marketplace has listings for unopened boxes from around $87 right now. Amazon’s Phantasmal Flames ETBs are available from $94.99, thanks to some new price cuts from various sellers — making these a good back-up option if TCGPlayer’s run out.

The same goes for the Mega Charizard X ex Ultra Premium Collection; TCGPlayer is currently listing these for as low as $175.99 at the time of writing, while Amazon has a steeper price point of $189.99. For those who don’t know, this collection is like an Elite Trainer Box, but on a more premium level, as the name implies.

These come with foil Mega Charizard X ex & Oricorio ex promo cards, a Charizard playmat, deck box, metal coin, damage counter dice, a Pokemon TCG Live code, and 18 booster packs from various sets (Phantasmal Flames, Mega Evolution, Destined Rivals, Journey Together, and Prismatic Evolutions).

Amazon does have a decent offer on Phantasmal Flames Booster Display Boxes, now priced at $254.99 for 36 packs at 15% off from $299. This Cyber Weekend / Black Friday deal works out at $7.08 per Phantasmal Flames booster pack — compared to the $7.90 minimum for individual boosters at TCGplayer, and the very high $15.99 price per booster at Amazon.

If it’s only a half-dozen packs or so you’re after, TCGPlayer is still the best place for buying Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundles (six packs) for listings sitting at around $48, while Amazon’s are going for $61.50 at the lowest.

The same goes for the Phantasmal Flames Build & Battle Box, currently being sold for just under $50 at TCGPlayer. Thanks to a Black Friday price cut, the difference isn’t too big, with Amazon’s available for $52.99 after having 29% taken off from its $74.94 listing price.
