The popular motion-controlled game console is down to $239 at Best Buy, Amazon and Walmart, down from its regular $299 price. It’s a deal we only see every so often, and it’s worth considering if you want another way to keep your kids moving while they’re indoors. Read our review.

Nintendo announced two Switch 2 bundles arriving this fall, following the $50 price increase for the console starting September 1st. One’s familiar (a $549.99 Mario Kart World bundle that also includes three months of Nintendo Switch Online) and one’s new (containing Switch Sports Resort and the Switch Online trial for $529.99). Each factors in the new price, but offers a bit more value compared to previous bundles thanks to the Switch Online subscriptions. The bundles will launch in late September and on October 22nd, respectively.
I use the Neat Bumblebee II desktop mic for work and play, and you can hear how it sounds on the Pixel review roundup episode of the Vergecast. Right now, it’s $14.99 at Woot, or just five bucks if you’re a new Woot customer and use the code HELLOTEN at checkout. It comes with a USB-C-to-A cable, and can sit on its included stand, or be detached to mount to a mic arm. It’s not the best mic, but it sure is affordable.
