Today’s Top Deals: Monster Hunter Wilds, 11th Gen iPad, Xbox Series X, and More

The weekend’s here—finally! So, what deals are shouting at us right now? Let me take you through a little tour of what I found, though honestly, I got kind of sidetracked halfway through.

### Monster Hunter Wilds for $54.99

First up, we’ve got “Monster Hunter Wilds,” a game that’s just gobbling up 2025 attention like a kid with candy. It’s $54.99 on Woot if you’re quick—saving 15 bucks! Heard it’s the friendliest of them all for beginners. I don’t know, maybe it’s the Focus Mode that lures folks in. Our review said it was an 8/10, but that’s neither here nor there. It’s about new ways to smack monsters, I guess. Anyway, that’s your chance to jump in… or not.

### 11th Gen iPad for $299

Switching gears to tech—well, sort of. The new iPad’s down to $299. This little gadget, all powered by the A16 chip, could basically fit right into any work setup. Use it with an Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard Folio—sounds fancy, right? I’m kind of a sucker for fancy names. You don’t need the Air or Pro for this one. Scratch that, maybe you do. I’m a notorious over-thinker.

### Pre-Order Ghost of Yotei Now

Ever heard of “Ghost of Yotei”? Yeah, me neither. But it’s up for pre-order on Amazon. It’s all set in 1603 Hokkaido—sounds historic. Not much out there about it yet, except you need some serious revenge skills playing as Atsu. It’s like “Ghost of Tsushima,” so if you’re into that, maybe this will tickle your fancy.

### Visions of Mana for $34.99

There’s a whole new Mana game—first in 20 years. Wow. Never thought I’d see the day. It came out around August’s end. “Visions of Mana” is spinning tales of a world-saving quest. It’s on sale for $34.99 this weekend. Our take was an 8/10, something about clever play systems, but I was more captivated by the nostalgia. Don’t you love when they hit you right in the childhood?

### Xbox Series X for $479.99

This was a shocker—Xbox Series X is about to leap to $599.99. Uh, what? Apparently, you can still snag one for $479.99 at Amazon. That’s saving $120, if you do the math. Quick, grab one before they vanish into expensive oblivion. I’m not a numbers person, but even I can tell this is a steal.

### LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for $10

Here’s a treat for the Star Wars geeks—LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a mere $10. Yeah, ten bucks. All nine films in one explosive, blocky universe. Seriously, who doesn’t love a bit of LEGO madness every now and then?

### Super Mario Party Jamboree for $44.99

Nintendo’s at it again. The new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are going to cost you, but you can save a chunk by grabbing “Super Mario Party Jamboree” for $44.99 at Woot. I mean, who doesn’t love a good value party game?

So, that’s a wrap on this chaotic little roundup. Deals come and go, but these… well, they kind of stood out. Good luck, happy hunting, or whatever you do when you’re shopping online!
