Games/Apps: Jump Desktop (Mac) $15 (Reg. $30), Best Buy 2 yr. Gamers Club $30 w/ game purchase (Reg. $120), freebies, more

In today’s best game/app deals, Jump Desktop (Remote Desktop) for Mac has dropped down to $14.99 (Reg. $30) this weekend in celebration of the release of OS X Yosemite. Not only does this match the best price we’ve seen on the Mac App Store, but developer Phase Five Systems just added full “support for OS X Yosemite including a new Yosemite inspired UI theme for Jump Desktop. Simpler and clearer UI.” Here is a list of some other Yosemite friendly apps on the Mac App Store.

While there appears to be a $10 off Destiny at GameStop coupon making the rounds online this morning, keep in mind GS charges full price for the game on new gen consoles, so you’re better off just grabbing the game from Amazon. In other console deals, you’ll find Metro Redux for Xbox One and PS4 for $34.99 shipped (Reg. $49.99, low by $5).

Today, Best Buy is offering 2 year Gamers Club Unlocked memberships for $30 with the purchase of any new $39.99 (or more) game. Note: “Currently, membership enrollment is available in-store only; please see an in-store specialist for details on becoming a member.” Gamers Club Unlocked, which nets members 20% off new game purchases, 10% off preowned titles and an extra 10% on trade-ins, normally costs $120 for a two year membership. More details here and find a store near you with the locator.

The rest of this weekend’s most notable Mac/iOS deals include Airport Scanner for FREE (Reg. $2), Hotel Dash: Suite Success Deluxe for FREE (Reg. $3), Phone Drive for FREE (Reg. $2), File Hub (Powerful & Intuitive File Manager) for $2 (Reg. $3), and Tropico 3: Gold Edition on Mac for $10 (Reg. $15).
