Since the Switch is still a relatively new console that's selling well, we haven't seen very many discounts on it. The ones we do see usually come in the form of some sort of bundle deal, which might stick you with accessories or games you don't really want. Best Buy has a new bundle deal of its own on offer currently, but this time around, you get to pick the game it comes with.
The Fortnite Samsung Galaxy Skin promo for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is causing some issues. Not for end-users, and not for those that already have the skin in-game. But for workers at Best Buy locations across the United States - and Verizon, and T-Mobile, and so forth. They're being duped by hardcore Fortnite fans, left and right.
NVIDIA has a smart TV device called SHIELD TV which, as of this week, has a fourth individual bundle. A bundle includes the SHIELD TV itself and an assortment of controllers. This week the device was officially wrapped up in a bundle called "SHIELD TV SMART HOME EDITION" complete with a SmartThings Link. That SmartThings link otherwise costs approximately $40 on its own.
Tomorrow is a big day for Nintendo fans, as the NES Classic will be returning to store shelves after more than a year away. Nintendo is giving consumers a second chance to own the NES Classic, which was notoriously hard to come by during its initial retail run. It's probably going to be just as popular the second time around, so you'll definitely want to plan ahead if you want to get one.
After a long absence, the NES Classic Edition is hitting shelves again later this week. For those who missed out on it the first time around, this is your chance to get one without paying double or even triple its sticker price to resellers. You're going to have to act quickly if you want to buy one, but thankfully, some retailers like GameStop and Best Buy have detailed their restock plans ahead of time.
In the Amazon age, Best Buy has made a lot of changes and launched a lot of initiatives to keep pace. One of its most successful initiatives is unquestionably Gamers Club Unlocked, a subscription service that offers big discounts on new games for any platform. As it turns out, Gamers Club Unlocked may have been too good to last.
Lithium-ion batteries are exploding at dumps and recycling plants across the United States - and that's a problem. These types of batteries come most often in the device that's likely in your hand or pocket - your smartphone. Today we're taking a quick peek at a few explosions and a few SUPER SIMPLE ways they could've been avoided at the source.
Last month, HP took the wraps off a gorgeous new detachable laptop running Chrome OS. Called the HP Chromebook x2, this model features a tablet that connects to a keyboard using a magnetic hinge. The model runs the latest version of Google's OS that doesn't require a keyboard, putting it up against Apple and its newest iPad model.
Ever since it launched in December, we've been seeing the Razer Phone slowly but surely expand its availability. While it's already available at a number of locations like Amazon, Microsoft, and Razer's own online store, today it's adding one more brick and mortar retailer to the list: Best Buy. We heard last month that Razer was planning a debut at Best Buy, and it seems that today is the big day.
If you're an Android user who's been on the hunt for a new phone, you might want to stop by Best Buy, where the Pixel 2 XL has received a massive discount. By combining a couple discounts and credits, Best Buy has shaved $500 off the price of a new Pixel 2 XL. That's a surprisingly big discount, especially when you consider that the Pixel 2 and its XL brother are only around a half-year old at this point.
Best Buy and Amazon announced a partnership today for the former to sell the latter's televisions in-store. In physical, brick and mortar Best Buy stores, Amazon will sell their Amazon Fire TV smart television sets. But if what I've experienced with Fire TV devices over the past several years remains true, I recommend you steer clear of the whole lineup.
It isn't exactly a secret that Best Buy and Amazon are rivals. In fact, where Amazon and the internet in general have driven some brick or mortar stores out of business, Best Buy remains and - as of the end of its last fiscal year - is actually on something of an upswing. As the old adage goes: "If you can't beat them, join them," and today, Amazon is doing just that.
