It’s the weekend, which means it’s time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a nice chance to save on a Nintendo eShop digital gift card. As of this writing, a $50 gift card for Nintendo’s online game store is available for $45 at Amazon. This isn’t a massive discount, clearly, but it effectively nets you a free $5 if you plan on picking up a new Switch game or two anyway. It’s worth noting that this credit is applicable to purchases on the older Wii U or Nintendo 3DS as well, so if you want to download games on those consoles before their stores shut down next year, this is one way to save a few bucks along the way.
Besides that, our roundup also includes a rare discount on Paramount+ subscriptions. You’ll have to be a new or returning user to take advantage, but if that’s the case, you can get a three-month membership for either the ad-supported “Essential” tier or the (mostly) ad-free “Premium” tier for 80 percent off when you use the code “BIRTHDAY” at checkout. This brings the former plan down to $1 per month (instead of $5) and the latter plan—which also includes a live feed of your local CBS station and lets you download shows for later—down to $2 per month (instead of $10).
In general, the streaming service formerly known as CBS All Access doesn’t have as deep a library as competitors like Netflix and HBO Max, but if you wanted to check out shows like Star Trek: Discovery or the upcoming Halo series—or if you just need Nickelodeon shows for your kids—this is a more affordable way to sample the service. Just note that, by default, your subscription will be set to auto-renew at its usual going rate once the discounted period is up. ViacomCBS says this deal will expire on March 7.
If you’ve already got enough stuff to watch, we’ve also got deals on AMD Ryzen processors and Google’s Nest Hub Max, a sweeping sale on recommended standing desks from Fully, a new low on the open-world racing game Forza Horizon 5, and much more. You can take a look at our full curated roundup below.
