The weekend’s best deals: Disney+, Garmin watches, Xbox Game Pass, and more

Another weekend, another Dealmaster. This weekend's roundup of the best tech deals we can find from around the web includes discounts from a sweeping early Black Friday sale at Best Buy, strong promotional prices on Disney+ and Xbox Game Pass, deals on activity trackers we like from Garmin and Fitbit, and "three for the price of two" sales at GameStop, Target, and Amazon.

We've broken down a few of the highlights and laid out our full curated list of deals below.

Featured deals of the day

Disney+ 1-month membership for $2 (usually $8) at Disney Plus (non-active subscribers only)

Up through November 14, new or returning subscribers can save $6 on a month of Disney+. If you're looking to catch up on your MCU flicks or binge The Mandalorian, this is a good opportunity, but be aware that your account will be set to auto-renew after the discounted month is up.

Garmin Vivoactive 4/4s for $194 (usually $285) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target

The Garmin Vivoactive 4 is a smartwatch we like for fitness enthusiasts, offering accurate distance tracking, a sporty (if somewhat large) design, a wide variety of exercise modes, and a solid four- to six-day battery life. It works across Android and iOS, and it monitors more advanced metrics like stress levels and respiration alongside the usual heart rate, sleep, and step tracking. If you prefer a smaller design, the Vivoactive 4s offers the same feature set in a 40mm frame rather than a 45mm one. This deal brings the best price we've tracked and comes as part of a wider sale on Garmin devices we like, including the fashion-forward Garmin Lily and the Forerunner 245 Music running watch. If you're more into Fitbits, several of that brand's devices are also on sale today.

Buy 2, Get 1 Free Sale for various new and preowned video games at GameStop

If you're looking to grab a few video games for the holidays, GameStop's ongoing "buy two, get one free" sale might be of interest. If you add three eligible games to your cart, the price of the cheapest one will be knocked off at checkout. The sale covers both preowned and new games, including recent notables like Call of Duty: Vanguard, Forza Horizon 5DeathloopShin Megami Tensei V, and Far Cry 6, among many others. For those looking to peruse non-gaming items, meanwhile, the more sweeping buy two, get one free sales at Target and Amazon that we featured in our last Dealmaster are still running, too.

AndaSeat Fnatic Edition for $250 (usually $530) at AndaSeat

If you can live with something a little more...showy, a good gaming chair can give your home office a significant comfort upgrade without totally breaking the bank. Though it's definitively designed with larger frames in mind (think 5'8" or taller), AndaSeat's Fnatic Edition is a more-than-worthy option here. Our review found it easy to assemble and deeply comfortable over longer stretches. At $250, this deal marks the lowest price we've tracked and comes as part of a wider sale on the company's chairs.

Microsoft Xbox Game Pass for PC 3-month membership for $1 (usually $30) at Microsoft (new subscribers only)

It's become a meme, but Xbox Game Pass really is a superb value, offering up hundreds of worthwhile games for an approachable monthly fee. If you're a PC player who's new to the service and is willing to stomach the sometimes clunky Xbox PC app, Microsoft is currently offering a three-month trial of Game Pass for PC for just one dollar. Again, be aware that your account will be set to auto-renew upon signing up. If you're looking to play across Xbox, PC, and/or the cloud, note that the company is also selling a month of its more expansive Game Pass Ultimate tier to non-active subscribers for the same price.
