Here are the best ways to play classic Nintendo, Sega & Atari games on your big screen, starting under $20

Classic gaming consoles

After Nintendo shocked nostalgic gamers everywhere this morning with the reveal of its new mini NES console, we thought it was time to go over some of the best options already available for getting your classic gaming fix. There are a number of products on the market that will allow you to re-live your childhood memories of yesteryear without breaking the bank, and many of which offer hybrid systems that will play titles from multiple eras and platforms.

Not only will you have to wait until November before Nintendo’s new option hits store shelves, but as far as we can tell, it isn’t going to support actual game cartridges and there’s no telling whether or not Nintendo will support it with new content in the future. Not to mention, you certainly aren’t going to be playing Sega titles or lesser-known gems from the NES library, and there’s a chance the stellar SNES library will never make an appearance. Unless Nintendo has a re-release of that system coming down the line as well.

Until then, head below for some of our top classic gaming console picks including everything from Nintendo and Sega, to Atari and more. And while they might not look as amazing as the NT analogue NES, they are also about $400 less expensive:

jaybird-x2-earbuds

As part of its early Prime Day Deals, Amazon is offering 45% off Jaybird’s popular X2 sports wireless Bluetooth headphones. Prime members can grab any color (except Fire Red) for $79.99 shipped. That’s $8 under our previous mention and the lowest Amazon has ever offered them for. However, wuxiuli2010 (99% Positive feedback) via eBay Daily Deals is offering them in just about all the colors for just $65.98 shipped. Keep in mind, it will take 10-20 days to ship from China, so it might make more sense for some to go with the solid Amazon deal. Purchasing through Amazon will also make it much easier for returns or warranty claims should something go wrong. In other words, we suggest going for the hassle/worry-free Amazon deal over the third party eBay seller. 

They feature 8 hours of playback/calls, remote control, over/under ear fit options, a limited lifetime sweat proof warranty and are easily one of the best sets of workout headphones I have ever used. They come with “Comply Premium Sport Memory Foam Ear Tips, Patented Secure-Fit Ear Fins, Friction-Fit Silicone Sport Carrying Case, Silicone Ear Tips, Charging Cable & Cord Management Clips.” Rated 3.6/5 stars from over 2,600 Amazon customers.

Choosing the best mic for your Mac, iPad and iPhone without breaking the bank

Apogee MiC 96k Professional for iPad, iPhone and Mac

Having a nice mic for your Mac/computer isn’t a necessity for everyone, but it can come in handy for anyone recording voice-overs, song demos or even those that find themselves knee deep in video conference calls. There’s nothing worse than horrible audio during a FaceTime call with a client/colleague.

Personally, I need a mic for all of these reasons (and more), so I thought it was time to take a look at some of the best options and how to most intelligently spend my money. Some mics are insanely expensive and are certainly going to be overkill for your weekly podcasts and staff meetings. Others will suffice for live streaming and things of that nature, but just aren’t going to cut it when it comes to voice-overs and song recording. As a general rule of thumb, voice work and songs are going to require a more expensive, higher quality mic, than those of us just using them for other more casual reasons.

Needless to say, we will be focusing on the much more affordable USB mics, as opposed to your typical, pro analog options. Although we are going to go over some options for those looking to step it up a notch as well:

Just like last time, it appears the code is working on a plethora of items in the eBay Daily Deals including gaming consoles, MacBooks and even third party gift cards.

One great way to use the code is to get some free iTunes money. These $100 gift cards will drop down to just $85 shipped. Speaking of gift cards, there are a host of $100 options you can grab for just $85 (or even $50 + $25 cards for $60) including Best Buy, GameStop, Steam, Staples and many more.

Vansky Bias USB Lighting Strip-sale-01

These days there is a myriad of choices in the smart lighting category, highlighted by the Philips Hue products. Most of them offer some pretty interesting control, as far as color and smartphone functionality, but can also cost a pretty penny. In my search for something similar and more cost efficient, I came across these Vansky USB powered LED light strips for a fraction of the price.
