The second-gen Apple HomePod is down to 285 in a rare sale

Engadget

The latest Apple HomePod speaker is on sale for 285 at B&H Photo, which is 14 less than buying from Apple directly. This isn't the largest cash discount we've seen, and Apple previously bundled the device with a 50 gift card during Black Friday. But deals of any kind on the home speaker have been uncommon since it arrived in early 2023, so this modest drop still represents the lowest price we've seen in the last few months. The discount applies to both the black and white versions of the speaker. This discount isn't an all-time low, but deals of any kind on Apple's top-end smart speaker have been uncommon.


Nintendo offers a rare sale on downloadable games for E3

Engadget

In a rare move for the venerable video game company, Nintendo has just put together a sale in honor of E3 on "select digital games" for both its Switch and 3DS consoles. While the company promises up to a 50% discount, you won't find deep discounts on games you probably want, like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for $45 and Splatoon 2 for $40, both of which typically retail for $60. The sale ends June 21st at 8:59 AM PT or 11:59 AM ET. Still, if you were already planning to buy any of these games soon, this would be a good time to do so. The Switch games on sale include the two above, along with Mario Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Gold Edition for $44, Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus for $10, Fire Emblem Warriors for $45 and Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers for $20 (normally $40).
