Modern iPads and iPhones can churn out some seriously impressive graphics, but those games can only be so fun when you're pecking virtual buttons on a touch screen. Luckily, Apple created a certified game controller program to control compatible games with real buttons and joysticks, and you can get onboard for just $30 today.
The SteelSeries Stratus controller works with a surprisingly large collection of popular games, and typically sells for $50 or more. Today though, Meh has them for just $30, which is a fantastic price if you do a lot of mobile gaming. [SteelSeries Stratus iOS Game Controller, $30]

Walmart's offering a particularly nice Xbox One bundle deal today, if you still haven't picked one up. The standard $349 price tag gets you a Halo Master Chief Collection console bundle, plus an extra controller.
I've always said that controllers make for better bonus items than games, since they depreciate much less over time. Plus, you're almost certainly going to buy a second controller anyway, so this is effectively a ~$50 discount. [Xbox One Master Chief Collection Bundle + Extra Controller, $349]
Not a deal, but a PSA. Best Buy has Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Collector's Edition in stock for $100. It's sold out basically everywhere else, so act fast. Plus, if you spend $30 to get a 2-year Gamers Club Unlocked membership, you can get this for $80.
