Best Buy

Best Buy offers its 2-year Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU) Membership for $30 with free shipping. As a pricing comparison, it carries a list price of $99.99 and this is the best dollar off discount we’ve ever seen. Usually Best Buy will only discount the GCU as part of a bundle. It’s a perfect gift for the gamer who has everything now, but is going to want more games in the near future.

GCU membership gives you 20% off all video games for two years, so it will more than pay for itself after buying three new releases at the typical retail price of $60. It’s great for avid gamers who want day 1 games at day 30 or day 60 prices, guaranteeing that you’ll never pay full retail for any game for two years. GCU also accrues points that lead to further discounts over time.

Full benefits include:

• Get 20% off new video game software (physical software purchases)
• 10% bonus trade-in credit on video game software trade-ins
• 10% off pre-owned video games
• Get 2x points on new video game software, digital content, and game accessories
• Get 2 points for every dollar when you trade in games

Amazon has the Ultimate Ears MINI BOOM Wireless Bluetooth Speaker/Speakerphone in multiple colors (black, orange and black/red) for $69.99 shipped (also at Best Buy in additional colors). That’s more than $30 or 30% off the regular price tag, the best we’ve seen by $5 brand new with these kinds of color options and the lowest price we can find.

It features a wireless streaming from from up to 50-ft away, a lithium-ion battery with up to 10 hours of playback, a built-in speaker phone and “ jaw-dropping sound with crystal clear highs and deep bass.” These mini speakers have received a 4.5/5 star rating from over 730 Amazon customers.

We also spotted the larger Ultimate Ears BOOM Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for $169.99 shipped ($30 off) at both Amazon and Best Buy (colors vary at both). While we have seen them dip lower, especially with bulk packaging and refurbished models, this is matching the best new price around. It also has a 50-ft streaming range, NFC, 15 hours of playback, as well as a water and stain resistant costing. For more details on both the BOOM and the MINI head over to our full review of both models. The BOOM also has great reviews with a 4.6/5 star rating from over 1,300 customers.

Not interested in UE BOOMs? We also have one of our favorite speakers of the year on sale today, the JBL Charge 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Black, for $129.99 shipped from Amazon and Best Buy (matching the the best we can find).

Update (12/7 10:30am): Staples (in-store only) has 20% off select iPads: iPad Air from $319, iPad mini 2 from $239, iPad mini from $199, more.

Best Buy matches many of its Black Friday iPad Prices with $50-$100 off Apple’s latest release of iPads with free shipping or site-to-store. That’s tied with the lowest pure prices we’ve seen on many of these models.

Did you pick up an iPad mini during Black Friday? Snap an Apple Smart Cover on it for $15.99 (pink, light/dark gray), $19.99 (green, red) or $24.99 for blue. All of these options will work with iPad mini 2/3.

Each of these Smart Covers carries an original price of $39. You can easily find lower-quality Smart Cover replicas, but I’d recommend spending a couple extra bucks to ensure that you get the real thing. Free shipping on orders of $35+, otherwise just opt for free in-store pickup.

Now that Black Friday is less than two weeks away, we are getting a look at what major national game retailer GameStop will have to offer. The leaked ad shows discounts on everything from consoles to games, with over 4,000 stores open at midnight on November 28th.

For the most part, it looks as though GameStop will be matching Best Buy, Walmart and others with the major PS4 bundles at $400 and the Xbox One bundles starting at $330. But keep in mind, Sony announced the The Last of Us/GTA V bundle for $400 as an official price drop and should soon be available on Amazon. You’ll also find $20 to $30 off games on all platforms as well as discounts on accessories and older systems.

Here are some of our picks from the leaked ad:

Retailers are striking even earlier this year with their best Black Friday/Holiday deals. Sam’s Club is planning a special Holiday Savings Celebration on Saturday, November 15th. Of course, when we first got our hands on this ad we were smitten with the iPhone 6 deal for $100. So much so, that we overlooked what we think is the best 4K UHDTV sale that has ever come across our deal desks…

Just in time for the Black Friday deal season, Microsoft announced a $50 price drop coming to all major retailers for Xbox One consoles and bundles last week. While most stores ended up offering the deal early on some bundles, we are now seeing the discounts live across a number of retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Microsoft Store, Walmart, Target and more.

Starting at $349 for the entry level Xbox One without Kinect, Microsoft’s latest console is now $50 under the regular price of Sony’s PlayStation 4. But keep in mind you can easily find PS4’s on eBay for $360 shipped, and we have seen them drop to $350 previously so don’t be surprised to see them go even lower as the deal season continues.

However, there is a way to get Xbox One for even less…

If you’re in the market to grab an Android Wear device, you might be interested in hearing that Best Buy just slashed $50 off the price of the LG G Watch, an Android Wear device that was officially released just a little over 2 months ago. This means that while Google is still selling the device at the launch price of $229.99, you can grab the watch at Best Buy’s website for a cool $179.99. It seems as if both the black and white models are still in stock at the time of this writing.

Not to be outdone by Target’s massive iPad sale two weeks ago, Best Buy is also dropping $100 off the first generation iPad mini. Technically, Target’s sale was $0.99 less, but that’s because for some odd reason the national retailer adds $0.99 to the MSRP of many products.

Available in silver and space gray, the iPad mini will only set you back $199.99 this week at Best Buy. That’s a savings of more than 33% and a match for the best price we’ve ever seen. Of course, it isn’t Apple’s latest tablet and there are likely to be updated models around the corner, but for less than $200 it’s perfect for casual users. The first generation iPad mini will be supported by iOS 8 and features a 7.9-inch LED-backlit display, 10-hour battery life, and dual-core A5 chip.

Throughout this week, Best Buy has made each of the four standard configuration 2014 MacBook Air models available at a $100 discount. Anyone with access to a .edu email address can save an additional $150, which drops the entry level 11-inch model down to a staggering $650 with free shipping. There’s also an upgraded 11-inch and two 13-inch models starting at $899.99 (or $750 w/ .edu).

All you have to do to take advantage of the .edu discount is head to this special promo page, submit your email address, and then Best Buy will email you a unique promo code. If you don’t have access to a .edu email then we suggest being very nice to your friends that do ;).

Here’s the pricing breakdown by model:

• 11.6-inch (MD711LL/B) 1.4Gz/4GB/128GB: $799.99 or $649.99 w/ .EDU (Reg. $899)

Update: If it’s a PS4 you are interested in, GameStop is now also offering $150 in credit towards the purchase of a new PS4. “Trade any PS3 (20GB or Higher) or Xbox 360 (250GB or Higher) and get $150 toward the purchase of a new PS4.”

Microsoft made a few exciting announcements at this morning’s E3 event including the reveal of 4 player co-op for the new French Revolution set Assassin’s Creed: Unity, an Oct 28th release date for Sunset Overdrive, Crackdown 3 reveal, and a brand new IP from Platinum games called Scalebound. Just in time for all the new announcements, Best Buy has just launched a new Xbox trade-in program yielding the lowest price we’ve seen on a brand new Xbox One.

Best Buy is currently offering up to $150 towards a new Xbox One when trading in a fully functional “Xbox 360 250GB” or “Sony PlayStation 3 Slim.” With the release of the Kinect-free Xbox One today for $400, using the $150 credit will knock the total down to $250 which is easily the best price we’ve ever seen on Microsoft’s next gen gaming system. The credit can also be applied to the Xbox One bundled with Kinect.

Additionally, the retailer is offering $50 credit for any other working game console trade-in.

Compared to the trade in value from retailers like GameStop and Amazon, Best Buy is offering between $40 and $75 more with today’s promotion.

You can find out more about whether or not the new Kinect-free Xbox One is right for you in our analysis post and be sure to keep an eye on our daily game roundups for all the best Xbox deals.

Less than two weeks ago, Apple began offering its education customers modest iPad discounts, but now Best Buy has stepped up and basically made them irrelevant. The new Best Buy student deals that launched yesterday extend a $50 discount to all iPad Air and Retina iPad mini models, which is up to two and a half times as much as Apple’s edu pricing.

You’ll need to furnish a .edu email address to qualify for these Best Buy discounts, but once you receive your unique coupon code you can choose to make your purchase online or at any retail location. Of course, we recommend following us closely to stay up with all the best iPad deals, but if there aren’t any current deals and you’re in desperate need of an iPad, then Best Buy’s edu pricing is likely your best bet.

Other promotions include $150 off Macs and 30% off Incase MacBook accessories.

Check out the full list of our iPad deals we found today.

One of the best ways to get a discount on brand new Macs has typically been Apple’s education pricing, but that’s not true this release cycle. Best Buy has been offering customers with .edu email addresses a $150 savings on nearly all MacBooks but until now the brand new April 2014 MacBook Airs were excluded.

Best Buy has lifted the ban on these models so you can use your unique education discount on any of the new MacBook Airs, which will net you the entry-level 11-inch model for just $749.99 with free shipping (17% off). As a pricing comparison, Apple only offers its education customers a $50 discount on this same model. This is currently the best pricing you’ll find on a new condition MacBook Air from the past two years since the EOL deal is now sold out.

To cash in on this deal you must register your .edu email address here, wait to receive a confirmation email from Best Buy, and then apply the promo code from the email during checkout.
