Buy two Chromecast Audio units, save $15

Posted on by

Google is currently running a neat promotion for its Chromecast Audio dongle in its online store for hardware in the US. The Chromecast Audio is normally priced at $35, but now you can get it cheaper.

The only thing you need to do is buy two. Yes, Google will sell you a two-pack of Chromecast Audio devices for just $55. So you save $15. That’s obviously not much, but then again the Chromecast Audio isn’t an expensive gadget in the first place.

The discount is applied automatically as soon as you add two Chromecast Audio units to your cart, so you don’t need to copy a promo code or anything like that. It’s unclear how long this deal will last, though, so if you’re interested you’d better act fast.

The Chromecast Audio exists in order to connect the non-smart speakers you already have lying around the house. It basically has the same capabilities as the ‘video’ Chromecast, but it’s for speakers only. Hi-res playback and multi-room support are a go too, ever since an update hit it in December.

Google Play Days sale drops prices on apps, music, movies and books

Posted on by

Google is running an impressive sale right now across all of Google Play with some solid deals on apps, music, movies and books. Some of the deepest discounts can be found on apps, with a total of 28 apps all available for 99 cents, including some typically pricey audio software from DJiT and a host of other apps and games.

The music offerings similarly feature a number of albums discounted to just 99 cents and dozens of others on sale for between $7 to $9.

There are a couple separate deals running on movies in Google Play, depending on whether you are looking to rent or buy. The Play Days sale is focused on purchases and has several titles at almost 50% off. If you are just looking to rent, you can still snag 50% off a single rental of any movie before March 17th.

The Play Books deal is pretty interesting this time around, as it is just giving you an extended preview on a few dozen books, meaning that you can read up to 50% of the book before you need to decide if you want to make a purchase. Take a look at the titles and if you find anything that piques your interest get started for free.

That’s a lot of deals to sort through, so if you see any of your personal favorites on sale across any of the categories, we’d love to hear about them.

Cheating

What do you think of as "cheating" in the game, that everyone else seems to do all of the time?

What is this?

Every week a new thread will be posted and stickied by /u/AutoModerator. Topics will usually cover things that, if posted on their own, would receive little attention and clutter up /new. By bringing these threads together, we hope everybody has a better experience. We've come up with a few topics on our own, but we'd also like feedback from you. Are there any other topics you'd like to see added to the rotation?

LG G5 lands in Canada on April 8

Posted on by

The LG G5 is going to become available for purchase in Canada in exactly one month from today, namely on April 8. This information has apparently been made official by the Korean company itself, so it’s straight from the horse’s mouth as they say.

The G5 will be offered by all the major Canadian carriers (Bell, Telus, and Rogers), but also smaller companies such as Eastlink, MTS, SaskTel, Videotron, and Wind Mobile. Rogers’ Fido brand will get in on the action too. So you’ll pretty much be able to grab a G5 regardless of what your carrier of choice happens to be. As for third-party retailers, expect to see the G5 in stock at Best Buy, The Source, Costco, and Wireless Wave.

If you pre-order a G5 from Rogers or Fido, you’ll receive the Cam Plus camera grip accessory for free (while supplies last). Unfortunately pricing information hasn’t yet been announced by any of the aforementioned carriers and retailers, but surely that’s coming soon.

The LG G5 should be released globally in “early April”, with April 8 and Canada being the first confirmed launch date and country. It might just be that April 8 will be the big G5 day in other places too, but we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, make sure you check out our detailed hands-on preview of the…
