The Asus ZenWatch is now down to just $130 through Best Buy — $70 off its regular retail price.
Asus’ original Android Wear watch was recently sold by Google at a reduced price a couple of weeks ago, but while Big G’s promotion didn’t last long, third-party retailers are now realizing that they, too, need to incentivize folks on the fence about “gimmicky” smartwatches.
American online retailer Amazon is now offering decent discounts on the Kindle Fire HD and HDX tablets. The 7 and 8.9 inch Kindle Fire HDX tablets have received discounts of $30 and $40 respectively, while the standard 7 inch Kindle Fire HD gets a $40 discount.
Staples UK is now selling the 2013 Nexus 7 with a more than decent £50 discount bringing the price down to £150. The pricing is effective immediately, so you can walk into your nearest Staples outlet in the region to get the tablet at this discounted price.
As the holiday season slowly approaches, the war for budget tablet supremacy is heating up. While the Nexus 7 is hands down the king of budget at this time, market pioneers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble don’t plan on idly sitting by. Both companies are beginning to prepare for their upcoming models as they discount and discontinue current models.
Last week a group of developers banded together to celebrate pricing freedom by launching the Because We May promotion. The promotion, which ends June 1, includes heavily discounted games across multiple platforms. Since its launch, Because We May has received great support and the list of games available has grown tremendously.
