Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today's list is headlined by a suite of bundle deals for Red Dead Redemption II, which comes out Friday for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Reviews for the hotly anticipated game hit the Web today, and the feedback has been near-universally positive. That doesn't mean the game is flawless, which is to be expected in something so story-heavy. Our own review notes that bits of RDR II's script can occasionally lack conviction, for instance, but ultimately deems it a gorgeous "technical marvel" that's worth buying.
In any event, if you plan on buying RDR II and want to enjoy that massive virtual world in 4K, there are a handful of bundles that pair the game with a new PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. One Amazon bundle pairs the game with Sony's high-end console—which doesn't quite reach "true 4K" but gets closer than the standard PS4—for no extra cost; GameStop has a bundle that includes a special-edition Xbox One X and the upcoming Fallout 76, while Walmart has a separate Xbox One X bundle that also includes NBA 2K19, a spare controller, and a small gift card.
If none of this interests you—be it due to Rockstar's reported work environment or its lack of a PC port—we also have deals on a recommended budget Bluetooth speaker, a sitewide eBay sale, Samsung microSD cards, and much more. Have a look for yourself below.
