The weekend’s best deals: Nintendo eShop gift cards, Apple devices and more

It’s the weekend and that means it’s time for a new Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a discount on Nintendo eShop gift cards. At the time of writing, you can get a $50 digital gift card from Nintendo’s online game store for $45 at Amazon. We saw the same deal pop up last month; it’s still not a huge price drop, but it’s hard to complain about what is essentially a free $5, provided you’re planning on picking up a Switch digital game or two in the near future anyway. This deal could also come in handy if you want to grab a last-minute Wii U or 3DS game before Nintendo closes the online stores of those outdated consoles next year.

That aside, we’re still seeing some notable discounts on Apple devices, with the Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 7, 10.2-inch iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini, AirPods, and AirPods Pro all currently available for less. than their recent street prices. We also have a new low price for a recommended 128GB microSD card from Samsung, a bundle with Dell that gives a $40 retail gift card with Logitech’s excellent MX Master 3 wireless mouse, and plenty of video game deals, including the best price we’ve got followed for Halo Infinite and ongoing “buy two, get one free” sales at various retailers. You can check out our full curated summary below.
