E3 2014 has now wrapped up and we got a good look at what we will be playing for the rest of the year and beyond. Nintendo showed up with some exciting announcements like a new open world Legend of Zelda and our next look at Xenoblade Chronicles X, unfortunately most of it isn’t due until 2015. Sony and Microsoft, on the other hand, showed off some more immediate titles and products like Halo: The Master Chief Edition due out in November and Bungie’s highly anticipated next title Destiny, scheduled for a September 9th PlayStation 4 release date.

We thought we would put together all the best pre-order bonuses in one place for you starting off with Sony’s PlayStation 4 Destiny Bundle for $449.99. The bundle is set to ship on Sept. 9th when the game releases and it will also come with free Beta Access just like preordering the game does. “Pre-order from Amazon.com and receive access to the upcoming beta. Amazon will email you a code to sign up to receive beta access within 2 business days after you pre-order”

Sony also announced some custom colored DualShock 4 controllers for $60 and a new Limited Edition Gold Wireless Headset in White for $100 to match the Destiny console bundle. The custom colored controllers have a Dec 31, 2014 release date set on them right now and the white headset will ship on the same day as Destiny.

Dont forget about Sony’s new set-top box. PlayStation TV  is now available for preorder at $99.99. It will allow access to movies, tv shows and music as well as hundreds of older PlayStation titles and remote play of Ps4 games.

As many expected, Rockstar announced the PS4, Xbox One and PC version of Grand Theft Auto V at this year’s E3. The game will hit next gen and PC “this fall” and is currently available at Amazon and most major retailers via the Rockstar site.

Head below for a list of the best pre-order bonuses for the most highly anticipated titles from E3 and more:

Initially announced on Twitter, Motorola is offering $100 off a no-contract 32GB Moto X from now through Thursday at midnight. You can redeem the discount via Motorola’s Moto Maker tool where you can customize various elements of your phone.

Your total will come out to $349.99 on all but Republic Wireless where you’ll find a $299.99 price tag. This specific version usually runs about $499, so this is a pretty decent drop for those wanting to get their hands on the KitKat-powered smartphone.

Logitech has just unveiled a new line of affordable mini Bluetooth speakers. The Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker comes along with most of the traditional features found on mini BT speakers and features a uniquely angled pair of drivers engineered for a “more expansive sound spectrum.”

“The Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker gives you theater-quality sound on the go…We designed this stereo speaker on a completely new acoustic platform, strategically positioning the drivers to face upward and outward to deliver expansive sound that can help take your mobile entertainment to the next level.”

The X300 is compatible with most smartphones, tablets and Bluetooth devices and features speakerphone capabilities with on-board call controls. As for battery life, the internal lithium-ion charge will last about 5 hours according to Logitech. Although the X300 seemingly has a shorter battery life than some of its competitors, it is also nearly half the regular price of something like the popular Jawbone Mini Jambox speakers.

Logitech’s latest mini speaker is currently available for a suggested retail price of $69.99 and comes in four colors: black, red, blue and purple. You can find more details on the new X300 at Logitech.com.

Reports began surfacing yesterday that Apple is looking to acquire Beats Electronics to the tune of $3.2 billion. The company is apparently in late stage talks with Jimmy Iovine and friends that could see the popular headphone brand and the new Beats music streaming service change hands.

What this means for the brand as a whole is still unclear, but it will likely be a while before we see new hardware designs influenced directly by the reported acquisition. Along with its BT speakers and other accessories, Beats has released several versions of its Dr. Dre branded headphone options (including a line of earbuds in partnership with Apple) with, in many cases, mostly aesthetic upgrades, leaving some great deals on older models that sound just as good.

For example, the latest generation Drenched in Color series are currently listed at around $170 on Amazon and most retailers down from the regular $200, which is still more expensive than the older $300 models that are arguably better sounding.

With all of the Beats talk in the news lately we decided to round-up the best current deals available:

• Beats by Dre Wireless Bluetooth On-Ears: $220 shipped (Reg. $280) | Groupon

D-Link has just launched its new Wi-Fi Smart Plug designed to offer users full control over their electrical outlets via the free mobile apps. The small adapters communicate with any existing WiFi network and plug into any electrical outlet. The user can then control power to any of the devices plugged into the adapter.

They come with a few handy features along with basic on/off control. You can create custom schedules for particular outlets and monitor your energy use on connected devices.

You can set device schedules so that you walk into a brightly-lit home every day after work with your favorite song playing and the AC exactly where you want it.

The system also includes a thermal protection system that allows you to manually shut down power on an outlet and includes a thermal sensor that will automatically turn off over heating appliances.

The D-Link Wi-Fi Smart Plug comes in at a slightly lower price tag than the popular $60 WeMo options from Belkin. D-Link is launching its smart plug at $49.99 right now (temporarily out of stock on Amazon) and the mydlink Smart Plug apps for iOS and Android can both be downloaded for free via the App Store and Google Play.

Update (5/6 12:30pm): Amazon has the Mophie Juice Pack Helium 1500mAh battery case in silver for $44.99 with free shipping (Reg. $80). 9to5Mac review here. 

Groupon has the uNu Power DX External Protective Battery Case for iPhone 5s / iPhone 5 for $50 shipped. Today’s deal is the first time we’ve seen all 4 colors (black, red, gold and white) available at such a discounted price. This is $40 under the regular price and within $5 of the best price we’ve ever seen (holiday 2013, black model) on these MFI Apple Certified battery cases. While matching the lowest price on the red and white version, this is the lowest we’ve seen the gold version ship for which is currently listed at $80 on Amazon.

It packs in a 2300mAh battery (comes out to around an additional 10 hours of talk time), and a bonus screen protector to keep your phone safe as well as charged. Wirecutter thinks it’s one of the best available iPhone 5 battery cases out there, second to only the Lenmar Meridian — and mostly due to it being a slightly longer charge time and usually more expensive.

The uNu Power DX External Protective Battery Case for iPhone 5s / iPhone 5 has received a 4./5 star rating among over 600 Amazon customers. You can find more discounted cases and accessories for your iPhone in today’s Daily Deals round up.
