Ugh, weekends, right? You blink, and boom, it’s Monday again. But hey, before we’re sucked back into that weekday vortex, let’s talk deals. Random steals that might just make your wallet a bit happier, if that’s even a thing. Here’s my scatterbrained roundup of the best deals for whatever today’s date is. May 3, apparently.
So, Monster Hunter Wilds… $54.99. Yeah, you save 15 bucks on this one. It’s this massive game – like, the kind where you ignore phone calls and forget to eat. Promise. Anyway, it’s got something called Focus Mode, which, if you ask me, is kinda ironic ’cause I never focus on games. Or maybe I just suck at them? Who knows. Anyway, we slapped an 8/10 on it, and it’s less of a headache than the older Monster Hunters. Which is saying something.
Next up, shiny iPad alert! The 11th Gen iPad – only $299. Apple slapped in this A16 chip thingy… and combines with the Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard Folio. I think that makes you some creative guru? Or just an addict for gadgets. I can’t decide.
Oh! Ghost of Yotei – preorder it now. Set in 1603 – dinosaurs probably roamed then, right? Okay, no, but it’s in Hokkaido. You play as Atsu or something; revenge is involved, so cue dramatic music. They’re saying it’s a lot like Ghost of Tsushima. Guess that’s a big deal if you liked that one.
Visions of Mana is hanging out at $34.99! Aaaand, it’s the first of its kind in two decades. Like, wow, what were they doing all this time? Anyway, this one’s about saving the world, RPG style. You either love that or roll your eyes, no in-between, trust me.
Then there’s the Xbox Series X — remember when it was $499.99? Ha, now it’s hiked up to $599.99. Inflation, I guess? But snag it for $479.99 at Amazon, if you’re quick. Could be the caffeine, but this feels important.
LEGO Star Wars — all the movies crammed into one game for $10. A steal, unless you’re over LEGO stuff, then, well, you do you. But for those who love it, hop on that hyperspace deal on Amazon for PS4.
Wrapping up with Super Mario Party Jamboree for $44.99. The new Switch 2 version’s gonna be $79.99! I mean, what, are they putting gold in those things? Anyway, save some coins with this Switch edition from Woot. Maybe you’ll have enough leftover for real-life mushrooms. Or not.
Anyway, my brain’s frazzled. Deals, deals. Catch them if you can, or just nap through the weekend like a champ. Either way, Monday’s creeping up.
