GameStop has a Nintendo Switch in stock right now. You get the main console in grey or neon blue/red, Zelda Breath of the Wild, the Breath of the Wild expansion pass, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 128GB microSD card for $499.99 shipped.

The console goes for $300, the games and expansion pass are worth about $140 and the SD card has a value of about $40 or so. So that is just shy of $500 in value. While this may not be the best deal you’ll ever see, it is very difficult to get your hands on a Switch period. So if you’re considering buying these accessories/games anyway, here is your chance.

Nintendo Switch Screen Protector: 2-Pack Anker GlassGuard $7

Justin Kahn Apr 18 2017 - 11:13 am PT

Along with this morning’s iPhone 7/Plus cases and screen protectors, Anker also has a nice Nintendo Switch option on sale today as well. You can grab a 2-Pack of Anker GlassGuard Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch for $6.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. Simply use code GOSWITCH during checkout to redeem the offer. It has hovered between $10 to $15 on Amazon and is this is the lowest total price we can find. Rated 4+ stars from 40 early reviewers.

There are loads of amazing Nintendo Switch accessories out there, but screen protection might be the most important of all. We praised the Nintendo Switch in our hands on-review for re-invigorating our interest in console gaming to a whole new level. But that screen though:

However, not every part of the Switch is so strong. One of those is the screen, which is also plastic. Trust me when I say this — however you feel about screen protectors, get a screen protector for the Switch. The plastic scratches easily and it’s just not worth the risk to save a couple bucks or a few minutes of frustration.

VPN access has been in the news lately, given President Trump’s decision to overturn the highly controversial internet privacy law late last month that allows ISPs to sell your browsing history if they see fit.

There are a number of reasons to consider using a VPN for your personal devices at home and now is the time to make the jump if you haven’t already. Aside from encrypting your movements on the internet, it can also provide flexibility and the benefit of bypassing geography-based restrictions from popular services like Netflix or YouTube.

The Howler iOS adventure-puzzler free for first time in years (Reg. $1)

The Howler is a very unique iOS title. It combines the use of sound and motion gestures with artistic adventure-puzzler gameplay mechanics. And it is now available for free for the very first time since 2014. It could be described as a party game considering you use noise for control, but all of that can be turned off in favor of typical on-screen gestures if you choose:

The game can be played in a traditional “touch” way or you can do everything by voice – noise will make the balloon to go up, silence will let it down. You can even drop parcels or bombs by making short loud noise or by shaking the device.

iOS Universal: The Howler: FREE (Reg. $1)
