Project CARS is a must-own for racing fans, and you can pick up a copy for PS4 or Xbox One for just $30 today. That’s the best price we’ve ever seen. [Project CARS, $30]


Sadly, this $10 off deal is the best we’ve seen on Splatoon to date, but it’s still well worth picking up, even at that price. As with all Prime-exclusive deals, your discount won’t show up until checkout. [Splatoon, $50. Prime members only.]


If your Xbox Live Gold subscription is running low, pick up an extra 12 months for just $36 today. [Xbox Live 12 Month Membership, $36]


Amazon is currently taking an extra 30% off hundreds of select toys and games for Prime members only. That’s great if you have kids, but even if you don’t, you might find something you like in the board game section. The discount is in addition to price listed on the product pages, so you won’t see your final price until checkout. [Extra 30% off Toys and Games, Prime Members Only]


You know those giant wall wart power supplies that cover up like five different outlets on your surge protectors? These ingenious mini extension cords move them out of the way, and free up that precious outlet space. [Etekcity 10-Pack Power Extension Cord Cable, $14 with code EXTEN6FF]


If you travel with any regularity, this versatile little gadget may just be your new best friend. At first glance, it looks like any other USB battery pack, but it’s actually three gadgets in one:

  • Travel Router: Turn any ethernet jack you find into a Wi-Fi hotspot, which can still come in handy at certain hotels and conventions.
  • 6,000mAh USB Battery Pack: Keep your phone and tablet charged during a long day away from any power outlets.
  • File Hub: Transfer files and wirelessly stream content from an SD card, hard drive, or flash drive to all of your devices. Imagine loading a cheap SD card up with movies for a long trip, instead of, say, buying a more expensive iPad with extra local storage.

Today on Amazon, you can knock 20% off the price of the gadget with promo code TRIPMATE. We aren’t sure how many they have in stock, or how long the promo code will last, so I’d act fast if you’re interested. [HooToo Wireless Hard Drive, Wireless Router, Access Point, 6000mAh External Battery Pack Combo, $26 with code TRIPMATE]
