Today’s Best Deals

50″ Vizio E50-E1 4K Smart HDTV + $200 Dell Gift Card for $470

if you’re not feeling the whole gift card thing, think of this deal like this:

And that’s just with full retail-priced items. A ton of stuff goes on sale at Dell each week so you can easily save more. These gift cards are shipped out within 20 days and have to be used within 90 days from the issue date.

—————————–

Get Potential $50 Visa Prepaid Card w/ Wireless Apple AirPods for $160

This might be the first deal ever for the Apple AirPods. Get a $50 Visa prepaid card when you spend at least $200 on accessories. Visit the Promotion Center with code GET50BACK for submission form.

Since the AirPods don’t quite meet that threshold, you can buy two or get something else to pad the cost, like this $50 Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Bluetooth Portable Speaker.

—————————–

Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $50

This is the lowest price ever and you get free 2-day shipping. Portable speakers are wire-free. It’s battery powered (lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge) and connects to your music device via Bluetooth. It even has a built-in mic so you can use it as a hands-free speakerphone.

—————————–

Nintendo Switch Bundles from $399.99 at Gamestop

The Switch alone still sells for up to $400 from scalpers on eBay. For the same price, you might as well get some extra stuff including one or two must-have titles. Bundles also prevent scalpers from buying additional stock (they can’t really make money off bundles).

—————————–

Cowin E-7 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones for $38

The Cowins are massively popular with the IGN audience. I’ve bought one myself out of curiosity and my wife now uses it all the time for work. I’ve had IGN staff buy one and then buy more for their friends and family. For $37 you’re getting a headphone with 40mm large aperture drivers, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, active (not passive) noise cancellation, 30hrs of battery life, and built-in mic.

—————————–

Naipo Shiatsu Kneading Shoulder Massager with Heat for $37

This isn’t just another boring low-tech neck pillow – it actively heats and massages your shoulders while you relax. Plus you won’t be embarrassed recommending this to friends like you would with other massagers.

—————————–

Ensky Kirby Stackable NOS-20 Nosechara Mini Figure for $20

Believe it or not, this is actually a puzzle. The goal is to stack them into a three-figure tall pyramid. The only thing that could make this any better was if it had amiibo functionality.

—————————–

Motor Trend Magazine 4-Year 48-Issue Subscription for $12

Motor Trend isn’t just for the exotic car enthusiast. The magazine performs road tests and vehicle comparisons on daily drivers as well. And at this price, you’re only paying 25 cents per issue.

DiscountMags is a legit site. They don’t stick you with auto-renewals (even Amazon does this), and they don’t charge any shipping or tax fees.

—————————–

$10 Online Game Design and Development Courses at Udemy

This updated code (automatically applied) should work for everyone. For only $10 per course, you can train yourself in tools, software, and programming languages specific to the gaming industry. I and other people at IGN (and Ziff) have used Udemy and would easily recommend one of these hugely informative courses for the same cost as a Switch screen protector.

—————————–

Cloud (Player 2) amiibo for $13 at Gamestop

amiibo are such a hot commodity these days and Cloud (Player 2) is one of those amiibo that is almost never in stock.

—————————–

Out 8/20 – 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade Stick for Nintendo Switch for $80

Because you need to spend $80 more to play Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers the RIGHT way. It’s also compatible with PC, Mac, and Android and connects two ways (wirelessly via Bluetooth or wired via USB).

—————————–

New Release – Nintendo 2DS XL for $150

The 2DS XL is a 3DSL XL without the 3D. I own a 3DS XL and I’ve never used the 3D functionality, ever. Lots of places have it right now, so get while the getting’s good. Really the only reason to get the 3DS XL now is if you want to get a themed one, like this Galaxy style for only $25 more.

——————————

Playstation 4 DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for $39.99

At $40 the DualShock 4 is a great value for an excellent controller. It’s $20 off the list price, and $30 cheaper than the stomach lurching price of the Switch Pro controller. Even PC users can revel in this deal – the DualShock 4 can connect via USB or Bluetooth without too much fanfare.

—————————–

New Week, New Sales on Samsung/LG/Vizio 4K HDTVs at Dell

These Dell TV deals run from Monday to Sunday. If you aren’t feeling the whole gift card thing, just swap out “gift card” with PS4 Pro, Slim, or Xbox One S (Dell sells a ton of gaming stuff). These TVs sell for retail price at every other authorized reseller, so this gift card is FREE MONEY.

—————————–

Free Playstation Plus Exclusive Games for August

One of the best perks of PS Plus membership is that you get free games to play each and every month. This month’s lineup is especially good with both Just Cause 3 AND Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry.

PDP Legendary Sound of Justice Wireless Headset (PS4) for $40

Get this headset and you can tell me what justice sounds like. This is the lowest price I’ve seen for the PS4 only version.

—————————–

Get Potential $50 Visa Prepaid Card w/ Nest Security Cam for $170

Not only are you taking $30 off the retail price of one of the most popular security cameras on the market, you could get a $50 Visa prepaid card when you spend at least $200 on accessories. Visit the Promotion Center with code GET50BACK for submission form.

Buy 2 Nest Cams or pad the cost with the $50 Harman Kardon Onyx Mini Bluetooth Portable Speaker.

—————————–

Aukey Laptop Cooling Stands from $8

Gaming laptops and Apple ovens (err, I mean laptops) can generate a serious amount of heat. Even if they can perform under fire, toasty temps could shorten the lifespan. In addition to the active fan cooling, the blue LEDs will also drop your laptop temp by as much as 100 degrees.

—————————–

4.4lb Dell Inspiron 15 7000 15″ Intel Core i7 256GB SSD Laptop for $680

The “7000” series is the highest-end model in Dell’s affordable Inspiron lineup. It weighs in at only 4.49lbs thanks to the aluminum and magnesium chassis and features a 15.6″ 1080p IPS display, latest gen Intel Core i7-7500U processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.

—————————–

2.9lb Dell XPS 13″ Intel Core i7 256GB SSD Laptop for $1079

My pick for best back-to-school laptop. The 2017 XPS 13 weighs in at only 2.9lbs thanks to its aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. It boasts a 13.3″ 1080p IPS display, latest gen Core i7-7560U processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD. The Iris Plus graphics won’t push games to the max but it’s more than capable for your graphics work on Photoshop, Premiere, and the like.

—————————–

Dell XPS 8910 Intel i5-6400 Quad-Core Desktop PC for $479

$479 for an i5 desktop is always a pretty good deal, but the XPS 8910 is Dell’s highest gaming desktop short of throwing major bucks for an Alienware. Install a good video card (it doesn’t void your warranty) and you can have a powerful gaming rig for under $700.

—————————–

Alienware Aurora Intel i7 Quad-Core GeForce GTX 1070 Desktop $1260

You’re paying more for the Alienware quality but this is a fair bit cheaper than other premium pre-built PCs with the same specs. Features the latest Gen Intel Core i7-7700 quad-core processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, and GeForce GTX 1070 8GB graphics (comparable to a GTX 980 Ti).

—————————–

Alienware Aurora Intel i5 Quad-Core GeForce GTX 1060 Desktop $900

This Alienware desktop won’t cost an arm or a leg, but it will still power through most games with ease. Specs include the latest Intel Core i5-7400 quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, and GeForce GTX 1060 6GB .

—————————–

Dell Intel Core i7-7700HQ Quad-Core 15″ Laptop w/ 512GB SSD $950

You’d be very hard pressed to find another laptop with this kind of performance for under $1K. Features a 15.6″ 1080p display, latest gen Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and GeForce GTX 1050.

—————————–

Dell Inspiron 15 Intel Core i5-7300HQ 15″ Laptop w/ GTX1050 for $700

If you don’t need the crazy specs of the laptop mentioned above, for $250 less you can get this one with 15.6″ 1080p display, latest gen Intel Core i5-7300HQ quad-core processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and GTX 1050.

Zinus Memory Foam Mattresses for sale on Amazon

It’s not my fault that IGN loves memory foam mattress deals. I own this one for one of my kids. I’ve been testing it myself for the past few months and would easily recommend it. The top is super plush and you get that nice sinking feeling, but the base is firm enough that I have not had anything but a good night’s rest. And the price is pretty insane.

10″ Memory Foam Mattresses:

—————————–

The Best USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Deals

For storage that you can carry around, portable hard drives are easily the best value. They are small enough to fit in a pocket and yet hold boast way more capacity per dollar than USB flash drives. Best of all, there’s no need to lug around an extra power brick. Compatible with PS4 and Xbox One.

—————————–

New Nintendo 3DS XL Galaxy-Style for $175

You’re saving $25 off the retail price, but it’s difficult even finding one of these in stock. I can pretty much guarantee that this is the lowest priced New 3DS XL currently available from any authorized reseller.

—————————–

Out 9/6 – Playstation 4 Pro 1TB Limited Edition Destiny Bundle for $450

Now available for preorder on Amazon and at Gamestop. Not only do you save a little compared to buying the PS4 Pro and Destiny 2 separately, you get the PS4 in limited edition white.

—————————–

Out 8/25 – Xbox One S 500GB Madden NFL 18 Bundle for $280

If you’re interested in picking up Madden NFL 18 and don’t yet own a current-gen console, here’s your chance to get both at a package discount. Madden NFL 18 will probably look amazing thanks to the Frostbite graphics engine, the same one used for Battlefield 1.

—————————–

Oculus Rift VR Headset + Touch Controllers for $399

Ships 8/7. This deal is so good that I had to get one myself. IMO this is easily the best value among the big three VR headsets. The combination sold for $600 just a few months ago. Also includes 7 free titles including Epic Games’ incredible Robo Recall.

10% of New August Loot Gaming Crate ft Zelda & Witcher
