Game Informer’s Holiday Buying Guide 2024

Star Wars: The Black Series The Mandalorian – Death Watch Helmet

The warrior clans of Mandalore were believed to have been wiped out ages ago, their tattered remnants exiled. Their ways were resurrected, and with them, their legendary combat armor that was feared across the galaxy. Featuring a flip-down rangefinder with flashing LED lights and an illuminated heads-up display, fans can imagine what it was like for the members of the Mandalorian Death Watch to suit up for galactic action! $119.99

Quadcast S Microphone

Whether you’re aiming to up your stream audio quality, or you just want a better mic setup on Discord or Teamspeak, the Quadcast S manages that rare feat of high style, high functionality, and ease-of-use that makes for an easy recommendation. The USB plug-in makes it simple to get started, the sound quality is excellent, and the slim design and built-in shock mount are thoughtfully designed. However, it’s the variable RGB color scheme that is the real attention grabber, letting you color your lighting to match your mood. $159

Purchase

HyperSonic DX Wireless HD In-Ear Headphones

There are plenty of very pricey options for in-ear Bluetooth headphones; it can be tricky to find a good balance between quality and cost. LinearFlux has hit on a solid offering that ably walks the line. The wireless charging case fits in your pocket, and the earbuds themselves lodge securely in place while in use. Sound quality is very good for on-the-go usage, with very respectable bass and clear tone, and the microphone does a solid job when those phone calls come in to interrupt your playlist. $79.99

Purchase

Samsung Frame TV

The Frame TV takes the obvious space-saving benefits of a wall-hung flat-panel, and adds customizable bevels and an especially thin profile. The result looks like a piece of art on your wall. That effect is further enhanced because the TV can be set to display actual museum-quality art when turned off, with an ambient light sensor to have it match the room’s current atmosphere. A subscription gets you thousands of art options, but gamers should appreciate the partnership with Xbox, which includes 20+ free art pieces from franchises like Halo and Ori. Of course, turn the TV on, and Samsung’s excellent 4K QLED display will have those (and other) games looking stellar. $599 (32-inch) – $2,699 (75-inch)

Purchase

AccuVoice AV357 Wood TV Speaker

This home audio solution ticks a lot of boxes for an affordable soundbar, but especially impressed us for its focus on gamers with partial hearing impairment. While the three built-in speakers produce a solid and clear soundscape for anyone, including a virtual surround effect, the optional AccuVoice feature boosts the frequencies of voices, even over significant background noise, effects, or music. If you frequently find yourself missing dialogue in games and movies, it’s a game-changer. $349

Purchase

TiVo Stream 4K

We have a wealth of options for how to connect to streaming content, but the TiVo Stream 4K is among the best and most affordable choices for a unified experience across all the services you might use, offering UHD support, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos for the vast majority of streaming platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, and more. The voice remote, high speed, and united search across all your content at once may have you wondering why you waited this long to switch. $29.99

Purchase

Plug-and-play HDTV connectivity offers that big-screen option when you’re ready to leave the miniature world. $149

Purchase

Compatible with Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, these stylish remotes are a great choice if your Microsoft console doubles as your primary disc and streaming video player.
