This Dell Black Friday deal is still available! Score a bonus $50 Xbox gift card when you purchase an Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless gaming controller for $179.99. Since we can safely assume that you'll eventually redeem the gift card, you're essentially paying $129.99 for the controller. That beats the other Xbox Elite Series 2 controller deal of $139.99 over at the Microsoft Store. It's your pick: get the bigger discount but you're forced to buy a game (of course, you'll be buying one eventually), or get the easier but smaller cashback discount.

Black Friday Deal: Buy an Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, Get a Bonus $50 Xbox Gift Card

This is the controller to get if you want the most precise and customizable Xbox controller on the market. This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, custom profiles saved on your controller itself, and included USB Type C cable with charging dock. It boasts up to 40 hours of battery life and is compatible with the Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, and PC.

Black Friday Deal: $40 off the Xbox Elite Series 2

Microsoft Store is offering the Xbox Elite Series 2 for a straight up discounted price of $139.99. In the end you're paying $10 more than the Dell deal, but at least you don't have to remember to use that Xbox gift card. You better hurry, though, because this Black Friday deal definitely won't last for much longer.

For the final hours of Black Friday, Dell is offering the Alienware Aurora gaming PC, equipped with the powerful RTX 3080 Ti video card, for $2699.99. You can't match that price from any other vendor that's selling an RTX 3080 Ti equipped gaming PC. This deal is supposed to expire end of day on Black Friday, which means you only have a few hours to take advantage of this deal (and it will probably sell out before then). RTX 30 series video cards have been very hard to come by. An RTX 3080 Ti video card easily sells for $1800 on eBay. Instead why don't you pick up a fully-warrantied, fully-decked out Alienware gaming rig for $600 more?

Dell Black Friday Deal: Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3080 Ti Gaming PC for $2699.99

This Alienware Aurora R12 gaming PC is equipped with the lastest AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-core processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and the RTX 3080 Ti video card. The RTX 3080 Ti is just about the fastest consumer video card on the market; technically the RTX 3090 is a few percentage points faster, but it's also way more expensive. Get the RTX 3080 Ti and you can pretty much handle any game at max settings in 4K. Or you could take on 1440p at 240Hz. The possibilities are endless.

Dell Black Friday Deal: Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3090 Gaming PC for $3199.99

This Alienware Aurora R12 ups the ante by upgrading the video card to the RTX 3090. Yes, it's slightly faster than the RTX 3080 Ti, but the main reason you'd want this card is for intensive non-gaming applications like, for example, if you need a graphics rendering or video editing workstation. For those purposes, the RTX 3090 blows the RTX 3080 Ti out of the water because of its copious amounts of GPU RAM (24GB to be precise). The processor has also been upgraded to an Intel Core i9 10-core.

Dell Black Friday Deal: Alienware Aurora R12 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC for $1399.99

This Alienware Aurora R12 gaming PC is equipped with an 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, and the RTX 3060 Ti video card. The RTX 3060 Ti is much more powerful than the standard RTX 3060; in fact, it's comparable to the RTX 2080 SUPER, which was the top-of-the-line video card until the RTX 30 series cards came along. That means that this rig will handle 1440p and VR gaming with ease, and even has the chops to take on some 4K gaming as well.

All the Best Black Friday Deals and Sales

There have been several Black Friday deals on headphones, but some of the most lucrative deals have come in the form of slashed prices on various Apple AirPods. If you're looking to buy a new pair, replace the old ones you already have, or just want to try something new, many of Apple's entire line are seeing big savings this year.

Apple AirPods Deals

Right now, Apple's higher-end earbuds, the AirPods Pros, are down to their lowest price yet of $159. These buds look and feel more "premium" than their predecessors and offer active noise cancellation to help you lock the sound in and the outside world out. They also offer light customizability, with three pairs of silicone ear tips included with every unit that help you find the best fit for your ear canal. The more unyielding plastic of the second and third-gen AirPods can be a bit hard to fit for some, so these silicone tips are a useful extra.

The 2021 AirPods Pros case can also be charged via MagSafe as well as through wireless Qi charging). That means AirPods Pro users have three different options when it comes to juicing up their new pair of earbuds, which also happen to be sweat and water-resistant. You'll get up to 4.5 hours of listening time on a single charge.

You can also choose from the third-gen AirPods, which are just over a month old. They'll normally go for $179.99, but they're on sale right now for just $149.99. The official Amazon discount states you'll pay $169.99, but you'll get an additional $15 off wat checkout. These budss are similar in design to the AirPods Pros, but do come without active noise cancellation. Still, they're nothing to sneeze at, with sweat and water resistance, spatial audio, and support for MagSafe charging.

If you want to go all out and grab a new pair of over-the-ear headphones, you can get the AirPods Max for as low as $429.99 (Space Gray and Sky Blue). This is the lowest price we've seen them at yet. Right now, this discount applies to select colors in stock: the Green and Silver options. You can also pick up the Pink option right now for a few cents less at $478.33.
