Lord Of The Rings Lego Sets On Sale For Big Discounts, But Probably Not For Long The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego Set (5,471 Pieces) $400 (was $460) Get deal at Woot See at Best Buy See at Amazon See at Walmart The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell Lego Set (6,167 Pieces) $440 (was $500) Get deal at Woot See at Best Buy See at Amazon See at Lego Store The two largest Lord of the Rings Lego sets are on sale at Amazon-owned retailer Woot . From now until December 12, while supplies last, Lord of the Rings fans can save $60 on the 5,471-piece Barad-dur tower and the 6,167-piece Rivendell Lego set . Both sets are part of the Lego Icons line and almost always sell for full price at major retailers. Woot's Lego deals typically sell out fast; in fact, both of these sets sold out in hours when they were featured in Woot's Black Friday sale last month. Take a look at these massive Lego Lord of the Rings models below. We also added a list of more Lego deals at Woot at the bottom of this story, including The Legend of Zelda: The Great Deku Tree , Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale , and several Star Wars UCS models . The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego Set (5,471 Pieces) $400 (was $460) This $460 Lord of the Rings set includes 5,471 pieces, and the completed build stretches 32.5 inches high (nearly three feet!). It's a massive and intricately designed kit with numerous modular structures. It's capped off with the Eye of Sauron, which illuminates for added authenticity. While J.R.R. Tolkien never specified the number of floors in Barad-dur, the Lego recreation of the dreary and terrifying structure has five levels. On the main floor, you'll create Gollum's hideout, an armory, and a prison for Orcs with a cage that opens and shuts. Level two has a dining hall and kitchen. The middle floor contains Sauron's throne room. The throne itself has a secret passageway to the Palantir chamber--where Sauron does his magic crystal ball activities--which features several cool Easter Eggs, including a map of Middle-earth. Above the throne room is the Mouth of Sauron's study, and the top floor has the library with a movable ladder. Barad-dur is 17.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so you'll need ample shelf space and nearly three feet of open space above for the tower spire. The set comes with 10 minifigures: Sauron Mouth of Sauron Gollum Frodo Baggins Samwise Gamgee (Sam) Gothmog 4 unique Orcs It also includes accessories based on the Peter Jackson film trilogy such as the One Ring, Sauron's mace, light of Earendil, helmets for each Sauron figure, various armor and weapons, and more. Get deal at Woot See at Best Buy See at Amazon The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell Lego Set (6,167 Pieces) $440 (was $500) Lego's recreation of Rivendell is actually even bigger than Barad-dur. At 6,167 pieces, Rivendell is one of the 10 largest Lego sets ever made. Unsurprisingly, it takes up a lot of space, too. The completed build is 28.5-inches wide, 19.5 inches deep, and 15 inches tall. Rivendell is home to 15 Lego minifigures, including all of the members of the Fellowship, Bilbo Baggins, and several other characters: Frodo Baggins Samwise Gamgee (Sam) Gandalf the Grey Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry) Peregrin Took (Pip) Aragorn Legolas Gimli Boromir Bilbo Baggins Elrond Arwen Gloin 2 Elves This highly detailed model features recreations of rooms from the movie, including Frodo's bedroom and Elrond's study. Rivendell is a modular build, which makes it a good one to piece together with a fellow Lord of the Rings fan; this also means you can remove sections from the main building and display them on different shelves, your desk, etc. This includes the section with the table where the pivotal Council of Elrond scene took place in The Fellowship of the Ring. Lego's model of Rivendell features many authentic trappings and decor from the film, including various paintings, ornate castle spires, the white gazebo, statues, archways, flowers and trees, intricate roof tiling, bridges, an elven forge, and the Shards of Narsil. The paintings and statues nod to historical events in Tolkien's Middle-earth writings. Get deal at Woot See at Best Buy See at Amazon Lego Lord of the Rings: Barud-dur Gallery Rivendell joined the Lego Icons lineup in 2023. At the time, it was the only Lord of the Rings Lego set available in stores. Rivendell was joined by Barad-dur the following year. In 2025, Lego released two more Lord of the Rings sets. The 2,017-piece recreation of The Shire released in April for $270. Similar to Barad-dur and Rivendell, The Shire comes with a bunch of minifigures--nine, to be exact. Continue Reading at GameSpot

PS5 Was The No. 1 Best-Selling Console This Black Friday In The USThe PlayStation 5 dominated Black Friday sales in the US, according to new data shared by Circana, which tracks gaming sales in the US. Circana's Mat Piscatella said Sony's console made up 47% of total Black Friday week hardware unit sales, outpacing the Switch 2 (24%) and Nex Playground (14%). He didn't share any data about how Xbox performed. "So, yeah, Black Friday week is extremely promotional for video games. Stuff that does not price promote (generally speaking, here) does not see much of a seasonal lift at all from the prior week (usually none). BF Week performance can correlate closely to what's being promoted and by how much," Piscatella said . He added : "On the hardware side, PS5 saw the most extensive discounting. So, it got a big sales lift. Wouldn't take much more away from the week than that, tbh." Indeed, the PS5 was discounted substantially for Black Friday, with Sony selling the consoles for about $100 off. Retailers offered discounts on Xbox consoles and the Nex Playground as well. For anyone unaware, the Nex Playground is an AI-powered console similar to Kinect, featuring a camera to track bodies for interacting with games. The Nex Playground outsold every PS5 and Xbox model the previous week in the US. In the UK , the PS5 dominated as well, making up 62% of all console sales. By comparison, Switch 2 made up 23% of sales, with Xbox following with 10%. The PS5 Pro in particular was a big hit in the UK for Black Friday, recording its best week for sales since launch in November 2024.

The Game Awards’ big announcement is definitely not Bloodborne 2, but I might have accidentally started a conspiracy about it Welcome back, Bloodborne dreamers. As ever, the nightmare continues, and this time it's The Game Awards-flavored. You know that demonic statue in the desert that Geoff Keighley is teasing? I think I accidentally created this latest conspiracy, and I am sorry. In my recent iteration of copium and hopium, I filled in the blanks to a Twitter/X reply with some well-known Bloodborne 2 fan art, and my notifications haven't been the same since. Image via PlayStation If you're new to the Bloodborne fandom, welcome. We do this all the time. Ever since the first game launched for the PS4 (and stayed there) back in 2015, fans have been praying to the Old Ones for a sequel, or even a re-release or remaster. And we have not given up. Many believe that it's From Software's best work, both from a gameplay perspective and worldbuilding/lore. Its unique combat featured off-hand weapons like guns used to parry foes, and transforming weapons that offered different attack styles have had many bloodthirsty for more ever since. Whenever there's a gaming industry event, like a PlayStation State of Play or any other kind of live stream where games are revealed, we mercilessly and unreasonably hope and believe that Bloodborne will be back. But the issue with this latest cope is that I suppose some people saw my biography on Twitter/X and thought there was some credence to the rumor. I regret to tell you all that I know nothing about potential Bloodborne news. I was just being a hopium Hunter once again. Some people understood, but others have been in my replies taking it as some sort of hope or even a report that this is actually happening. I'm sorry, gamers, but it's not. Or maybe it is? I haven't heard anything, and neither has seemingly anyone else, but when TGA's account posted that "redacted"-style tease, naturally I had to make it about Bloodborne , because we are all hoping for From Software's return to the IP to one day come to fruition. A lot of the people interacting with the post (over 143,000 views since Friday) are hopefully just like me and along for the joke or ride, but if anyone felt deceived or false hope about it, then welcome to the land of delusion that we all live in. The sad reality is that Bloodborne 2 or even a Bloodborne PC port or remaster is unlikely. Last year, From Software CEO Hidetaka Miyazaki remarked that he knew some of his devs want the port to happen , but in the end, the game and IP are both owned by Sony. For whatever reason (likely money or legal reasons), the PlayStation company hasn't pulled the trigger on this project, which has become a passion for modders via emulation on PC instead. https://twitter.com/mountain_Duwe/status/1997002779450396712 But anyway, I've had a good time reading the replies on Twitter/X this weekend. There are so many people just like me who know that a sequel or port is not happening, but we continue to cling to the delusional dream that the Elden Ring and Armored Core studio will roll back the clock to 2015 one more time. I refuse to give up hope. I will continue to yearn for returning to Yharnam one day. It's just probably not happening any time soon, and definitely not this Thursday on Geoff Keighley's yearly awards show and advertisement exposition.

Paramount Launches Hostile Bid To Buy Warner Bros., Offering Billions More Than NetflixThe battle for Warner Bros. is not over yet. After Netflix announced on Friday that it would buy the majority of the Warner Bros. entertainment assets, Paramount on Monday announced that it would offer billions more to buy the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery as part of a hostile takeover bid. Specifically, Paramount is offering $30 per share, compared to $27.75 from Netflix. That works out to $18 billion more in cash than Netflix. Additionally, Paramount wants to buy the entirety of WBD, not just the majority of the key entertainment assets that Netflix is proposing to buy. Paramount's $30-per-share offer works out to a total enterprise value of $108.4 billion, which Paramount said is a 139% premium on where the company was trading at in September 2025. The value of Netflix's offer was $82.7 billion. Paramount was perceived to be the frontrunner to buy Warner Bros. for months before Netflix swooped in, with CEO Ted Sarandos personally meeting with US President Donald Trump to try to woo him. On Sunday, December 7, Trump said Netflix's proposal "could be a problem" given the market share such a deal would give Netflix. Paramount is run by David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle boss Larry Ellison, and the family also has a close relationship with Trump. Paramount's new deal to buy Warner Bros. offers "superior value, and a more certain and quicker path to completion to WBD shareholders," Paramount said. The equity to fund the proposed buyout is backstopped by the Ellison family itself, along with RedBird Capital, Bank of America, Citi, and Apollo. Previously, a key concern that emerged in reporting about Paramount's initial bid was the financial backstop, and Paramount is now saying that's all cleared up. Paramount said it's going directly to WBD shareholders via a hostile bid because the company believes the shareholders "were not presented [with the] most compelling and superior transaction." "[The] Netflix transaction provides WBD shareholders with inferior and uncertain value, a protracted and uncertain multi-jurisdictional regulatory clearance process, a complex and volatile mix of equity and cash, and ownership of Global Networks as a standalone overleveraged company whose future trading value is uncertain," Paramount said. David Ellison said in a statement that WBD's shareholders "deserve an opportunity to consider our superior all-cash offer for their shares in the entire company." He added: "We believe our offer will create a stronger Hollywood. It is in the best interests of the creative community, consumers and the movie theater industry. We believe they will benefit from the enhanced competition, higher content spend and theatrical release output, and a greater number of movies in theaters as a result of our proposed transaction. We look forward to working to expeditiously deliver this opportunity so that all stakeholders can begin to capitalize on the benefits of the combined company." Paramount's hostile bid for WBD will expire on January 8, 2026, unless it's extended before then. The deal could impact video games. WBD owns a variety of gaming studios with its WB Games division, and you can see in the gallery below all the franchises the company's new owner may own if a deal materializes. Additionally, Paramount is making a Call of Duty movie with Activision.

Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gets $110 Discount At Amazon Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld $490 (was $600) Get deal at Amazon See at Walmart See at Best Buy See at Target The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is on sale for its lowest price yet at Amazon . Normally $600, the official Xbox gaming handheld is up for grabs for only $490 for a limited time. It's unclear when this deal ends, but you'll also find the recently released handheld on sale at Walmart ($499) , Best Buy ($500) , and Target ($550) . This isn't the first time the Xbox Ally has received a discount. On November 29, Best Buy and Amazon discounted the device to $500. That deal was only available for three hours as a Black Friday flash deal, so it was easy to miss. If you pick up the Xbox Ally at Amazon, you should also check out some of the third-party accessories available now, including docking stations , screen protectors , travel cases , and microSD UHS-II cards . Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handheld $490 (was $600) The ROG Xbox Ally is an entry-level Windows gaming handheld with impressive features and performance for the price. The Ryzen Z2 A chip is comparable to Steam Deck's custom AMD APU, and if you increase the TDP--at the expense of battery life--the Xbox Ally can outperform the Steam Deck OLED. For reference, the Steam Deck OLED 512GB model retails for $549. The Xbox Ally has a 1920 x 1080p IPS display with 120Hz refresh rate and support for VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium. If you're comparing to the Steam Deck OLED, Valve's handheld has a 7.4-inch 1280 x 800p OLED display with HDR and 90Hz refresh rate. So the Steam Deck wins in panel type and size, but the Xbox Ally wins in resolution and refresh rate. That said, to get the best performance on Xbox Ally, you will often want to lock the resolution at 720p, so the Xbox Ally doesn't always take full advantage of its advantages. The Xbox Ally is arguably the most comfortable Windows gaming handheld on the market today. Asus opted for the PlayStation Portal approach by essentially splitting the Xbox Wireless Controller in half and connecting it to each side. Along with all of the buttons, triggers, and bumpers found on the Xbox Wireless Controller, the Xbox Ally has two remappable back buttons. It also has motion controls and HD haptics. One of the big selling points of the Xbox Ally is the custom, console-inspired dashboard that is easier to use than the traditional Windows interface. The Xbox Ally has a 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, a microSD UHS-II card slot to expand storage capacity, two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. Check out the Xbox Ally's specs and features below. If you want to read more about the Xbox Ally and the higher-powered $1,000 Xbox Ally X, check out our buying guide and our review of the Ally X . Specs: Processor: AMD Ryzen Z2 A RAM: 16GB LPDDR5X-6400 Storage: 512GB M.2 2280 SSD Display: 7" IPS touchscreen (Gorilla Glass Victus) 1920 x 1080 120Hz refresh rate VRR supported AMD FreeSync Premium Controller Design: Contoured grips Hall Effect triggers Shoulder bumpers ABXY bumpers 2 remappable back buttons Analog sticks with light rings 6-Axis motion controls HD haptics 5 menu/settings buttons Ports: 2x USB 3.2 Type-C 3.5mm audio microSD: UHS-II reader (only UHS-II) Network: Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.4 Battery: 80Wh Battery life: 1.5-5 hours Weight: 670g Dimensions: 290.8 x 121.5 x 50.7mm Get deal at Amazon See at Walmart See at Best Buy Game Pass Ultimate subscribers have a built-in library of hundreds of games for the Xbox Ally. Whether you already have a subscription or not, you'll want to purchase your membership from a major retailer instead of directly through Microsoft. The price of Game Pass Ultimate increased to $30/month in October, but major retailers still sell prepaid codes for $20/month . Continue Reading at GameSpot
