TOP DEALS

Today’s top deals includes extra incentive to snatch the relatively popular Acer S5 Ultrabook.

On the gaming front, we have Borderlands 2 Season Pass (PC DLC) for only $23. Gearbox released the first installment to the DLC one week early, so happy times for all BL2 fans (sorry console guys).

If you happen to need a new dirt cheap HDTV because you kept throwing the Wiimote into the screen (seriously, who still plays with the Wii), Best Buy’s Deal of the Day offers a 32-inch HDTV for only $200. Sure, it’s only 720p but hey, it’s $200!

HDTV DEALS

We’ve got two very different HDTVs today, but both are noteworthy deals. The 32-inch TCL LCD is $200 from Best Buy for today only. It’d make a great choice for a budget bedroom set, judging from numerous stellar reviews.
