The town has been talking about Elden Ring since it was released. It has taken over the landscape of gaming discourse. If you play games on Sony's consoles, now is the perfect time to play FromSoftware's open-world take on its acclaimed dark fantasy. The PS4 and PS5 physical versions of Elden Ring are on sale at a discount.

The only sales on this hot title so far have been on the PC and Xbox versions. It's even more significant when you consider how many hours you can spend in The Lands Between, as many of us at The Verge have done. If you get stuck, our friends at Polygon have written guides to help you get out. Read the review.

This next Xbox deal is still applicable to you even if you are not a PS3 player. The lowest price for the Xbox Stereo Headset is again at Walmart. The 3.5mm headphone cable means that the wired headset can be plugged into the controller and used on a PS4 or PS5. The rotating earcup that adjusts volume is one of the handiest features. The PC and Nintendo Switch can also use this headset.

The Xbox Stereo Headset is a great deal if you want something that is a little nicer than the other headsets on the market. The audio quality is not the best for music, but it sounds good for games and it has a good microphone. Read the review.

If you're in the market for a Chromebooks that feels more laptop than tablet, the Lenovo Flex 5 is a great option that doesn't break the bank, or feel too cheap. The 13-inch Flex 5 is down to $299 at Best Buy, a savings of $120 off its regular price. The base model has a Pentium 7505 processor, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and 32 gigabytes of eMMC storage. It isn't going to win many spec wars, but it offers a lot at this discounted price, including one of the best backlit keyboards we've used.

The Lenovo Flex 5 has a better port selection than most Chromebooks in this price range, with a microSD card slot and aUSB-C connections on both sides. It's great to use as a traditional laptop if you're traveling frequently, but its main caveat is battery life. Read the review.

The best Chromebook for 2022

One of the better keyboards we've used on a Chromebook is the one on the Flex 5, which is one of the reasons it's a great package for an affordable price.

We covered a good deal earlier this week, but it is worth mentioning again before the sale ends. The Roborock S7 robot vacuum is currently $4799.99 at Amazon, when you click the $170 on-page coupon. This hybrid vacuum and mop sells for $649.99 and has a lot of great features, such as spot-cleaning, mapping software to navigate your home more efficiently, and it even automatically lifts its mop when rolling over carpeting. You can get the same S7 vacuum in a Plus version that includes a self-emptying dock for around $950, but rest assured that you can save the money and skip that added cost, as it has an unfortunate tendency of clogging.

The Roborock S7 is one of our top picks for the best robot vacuums you can buy, and it is the best hybrid with a mop. The sale is set to end tomorrow, making it even better. Read the review.

The robot does both mops and vacuums very well. It can vacuum your rugs without getting them wet. It has voice control and works with an auto-empty charging base.
