Sadly, Black Friday has come to an end, but at least we have Cyber Monday to look forward to! Google is the first company to kick off the Cyber Monday action with its “Cyber Weekend” offers.
Starting today through Tuesday, you’ll be able to get your hands on some pretty impressive gadgets, games, books, music, movies, TV series’ and magazines deals, directly from the Play Store.
As from today, Motorola’s first budget-friendly Moto X variant, the Moto G, is available to pre-order on Amazon. The handset will ship on Friday, December 6, so you will definitely have it in time for Christmas. Pricing is exactly the same as it is from Motorola itself — $179 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 16GB.
HTC is in the process or pushing out the much-anticipated over-the-air (OTA) update to all Unlocked and Developer Edition One handsets located in the United States. This upgrade brings the latest build of Android 4.4 KitKat and Sense 5.5 to the device, together with a multitude of additional bug fixes and speed optimizations, as well as a comprehensive redesigned multitasking system.
Keeping up with the Black Friday spirit, Costco is now selling 3-packs of $20 Google Play gift cards for $48 — that’s $12 off the standard retail price. So, effectively, the mega-retailer is giving you $12 free cash just for shopping with them! This deal will expire Sunday, December 1, so you have plenty of time to take full advantage of this promotion.
NVIDIA is the latest company to jump on the Black Friday bandwagon and is now offering its very own high-end Android-powered handheld gaming system, the Shield, for $249 (that’s an impressive $50 discounted off the retail price), together with a free carry case worth $39.99 and two free games to get you started — Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 and Expendable: Rearmed.
