Hello there, Polygon readers. It’s the weekend, so we’re doing our usual Saturday jig by sharing the best deals of the week across games and entertainment. Some of these deals have already made an appearance on the site, but just as many are first-timers debuting in this post. Halfway down the page, you’ll also find a small list of the top-selling products that we’ve written about.

Just to give you a quick recap of what’s included in this roundup, we’ve got a big sale on 4K Blu-rays from Arrow Video, mostly comprised of cult classics that you’ve either been hunting for, or maybe you’re only now realizing you didn’t know you needed them. Physical flicks aside, gaming deals are bit slow at the moment, but we have you covered with console, headset, and video game deals.

The best entertainment deals this week

At Barnes & Noble, several Blu-rays (and 4K counterparts) from Arrow Video are 50% off. This company’s catalog runs the gamut, with classic films that belong on any physical media collector’s shelves. Take your pick from films like Dune (directed by David Lynch), The Warriors, Ringu (the Japanese film that inspired The Ring), Carlito’s Way, The Conan Chronicles, and others, which are available at the lowest prices that we’ve seen them sell for. (Just a reminder, you’ll need a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player to play 4K discs. One we like is the Panasonic UB420-K, but a disc-based PS5 or Xbox Series X will also get the job done.)

If you have an insatiable appetite for human fle — I mean, AMC’s The Walking Dead, there’s a nice deal happening on the series’ 11-season, 54-disc (yes, fifty-four) collection. Normally $129.99, the DVD version is $94 at Walmart.

The holiday pricing for the Xbox Series X at $349.99 was phenomenal, but sadly it’s a thing of the past. However, reputable eBay seller Antonline is selling the console new with a second controller for $419.99. If you do a little math, subtracting the $50 or so value of the controller, then the console’s price here is well below the $400 mark. This is a great price, so hop on eBay’s offer here if you want Microsoft’s most powerful console for less than the retail cost at, say, Best Buy.

I’d like to take the opportunity to point you to a very popular bundle over at Humble that’s worth your consideration. You can get a heap of Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu RPG adventures and gaming aids (25 in total) for $25. Some of the proceeds collected during this sale will go to the World Wildlife Fund.

For newbies, you can start your descent into madness with the Call of Cthulhu Stater Set (usually $27 in paperback), and you’ll also get the Investigator Handbook (usually $33), plus the Keeper Rulebook (usually $48). It should take you a long while to run through the many adventures you’ll get in this bundle, including Pulp Cthulhu, Malleus Monstrorum, A Cold Fire Within, and more.
