GadgetReview Daily Deals: Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Version for $60

Three deals rose to the top today that we thought you should see. If you’re ready for Windows 8’s release tomorrow, you can get a jump on the best deal at TigerDirect with a $10 coupon. This upgrade version of Windows 8 at $59.99 beats the $70 price tag at other retailers.
For fans of old-school PC games like Earthworm Jim 3D, GOG.com is offering a modified “pay what you want” deal on 32 Interplay games. You can either pay what you want and get 8 games, pay above the average (currently $14.97) for 20 games, or pay $34.99 or more for all 32 titles, which include games from the Fallout series, Earthworm Jim, Castles, and more.
Finally, there is a mindblowingly cheap refurbished 46-inch HDTV from Element. After manufacturer’s rebate, this set is $250 with free shipping. It’s actually well-reviewed, and while it won’t toast a bagel for you or stream Netflix natively, you can always buy a toaster and a modern Blu-ray player to do those things for you and still save hundreds compared to a TV that has those features already built-in. Easily the lowest price we’ve seen for this set and this size to boot.
