The Week's Best Deals On Video Games And Movies

The week may be young, but we're already knee-deep in sales on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch games. You can even find decent discounts on hardware like the Xbox One X and Nintendo 2DS XL. So if you're in the market for a new game or a new system, check out the sales below, because there's a fairly good chance you can find a deal on what you're after.

Multiplatform
