Get Pokemon Sword and a Nintendo Switch for just £279 in this Black Friday weekend deal

If you're buying a new Nintendo Switch in the Black Friday sales over this coming weekend, chances are you'll want the latest Pokémon game with it. The latest Pokemon games, Sword and Shield, take the series into HD for the first time, in what's the most vividly-realised Pokemon setting to date. 

Right now at Amazon you can grab a grey-coloured Nintendo Switch with either Pokémon Sword specifically for just £279. Given the £279 RRP of the Switch console, that throws in a brand new AAA game for nothing extra. Note that this same bundle was priced at £299.99 yesterday. It's worth bearing in mind too, too, that at the time of writing, stock isn't available until December 1. So it's possible this deal won't last long. Not in the UK? You can see global deals on the Switch Lite console at the bottom of this article.

Only the £299 Very deal that threw in Mario Kart 8 as well as a Pokémon title was slightly better over this past weekend, but Nintendo has a historical reluctance for discounting its hardware or games – even on a Switch console nearing its third birthday – and really we'll take what we can get. 

Keep in mind that we could see other deals land over Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday, but there's a chance that it won't get much better than this from here on out.

If you really want the cheapest Switch experience you can, too, you're probably best off going with the handheld-only Switch Lite model that launched in September – and you can see the latest prices for that below.

TechRadar is scouring every retailer and rounding up all the top deals over the Black Friday period, and we’ve put all the best Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday deals in easy-to-navigate articles to help you find the bargains you’re looking for.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
