PlayStation Now drops to $100/yr (55% off), adds collection of Batman Arkham & LEGO titles

Justin Kahn Dec 7 2015 - 8:22 am PT

0 Comments

By way of the official PlayStation Blog, Sony has now announced that PlayStation Now will be available for a limited time at $99.99 a year starting tomorrow. At under $9 per month, that’s around 55% off the usual yearly fee. Existing PS Now subscribers will be able to purchase the deal in order to extend their membership for an additional 12 months.

For those that don’t already know, PS Now is Sony’s back catalog service that offers hundreds of digital PS3 titles on-demand for a yearly fee. While there were already several Warner Bros. games available, Sony has also announced some new titles from WBIE including Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham Origins, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Mortal Kombat and F.E.A.R (Single-Player Campaign Mode). We are also getting some new LEGO games on top of LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes including The LEGO Movie Videogame, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, LEGO Batman: The Videogame and more.

While it may not be the back catalog service we all wanted from PS4, the addition of the new AAA titles and a nice price drop certainly adds some value here. You can opt for a 7-day free trial before going for the full year.

Remember to hit up all our game deals every day of the week, across every platform and you’ll find the Free PS Plus Games for December right here: Far Cry 3, Gaunlet Slayer Edition, Freedom Wars, more

Amazon has the iOttie Easy Flex 3 Car Mount Holder for iPhone 6s, older iPhones and Android devices for $11.99 (matched at B&H). It ships free for Prime members (free trial) or on orders over $35. That’s nearly half the original listing, as much as $5 below the next best prices and the best we can find.

It is compatible with  iPhone 6s, 5s, 5c, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus S6, S5, S4, and more (devices 2.1 inches to 3.1 inches wide). The Easy Flex features one-touch locking/release, 360 degree rotation, and a super sticky gel pad that “can be restored to its mint condition by rinsing it with warm water and allowing it to air dry.” This model carries a 4.3/5 star rating from over 1,100 Amazon customers.

While you might find a third party listing on Amazon for the above (and below) iOttie mounts that is less expensive, as far as we can tell this is a fake/likely not legitimate Amazon merchant and recommend avoiding it.

It has a metal unibody design, is bus powered and will work with your Mac right out of the box with: “Ableton Live Lite, Scarlett Plug-in Suite (RTAS/AU/VST), Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite (AAX/AU/VST), Novation Bass Station, and 1GB of Loopmasters samples.” It has a 4.4/5 star rating from over 600 Amazon customers.
