Gift a nostalgic gamer the SEGA Genesis Mini at nearly 50% off via Amazon

Black Friday is the best time of the year to pick up some of the year's best product releases at a discount. This SEGA Genesis Mini console was unveiled earlier this year, and thanks to Black Friday, you can score the first major discount on it since its release. Today it's down to just $44.99 at Amazon, saving you nearly 50% off its regular cost of $80. This deal looks to be a price-match of a one-day sale at GameStop, so it's possible that the deal at Amazon won't be around come tomorrow either.
