Get A Big Box, Win A Gold PS4

So you like video games, right? And if you like video games, odds are you’ll be a fan of cheap, delicious fast food. Fast food like Taco Bell, usually with some Mountain Dew. Never a company to break away from sterotypes, Taco Bell plays into those by partnering with some interesting marketing friends. In this case, Sony and Taco Bell are working on a great marketing idea to get people to hit up the store more regularly for delicious quesoritas or whatever. Taco Bell is giving away a limited edition gold-colored PS4 to 6000 lucky customers.

There’s a catch, though. You have to buy one of Taco Bell’s new Big Boxes to enter the contest. The bundle comes with a controller, a one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus, and a free copy of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection video game. The contest begins September 24 and runs through November 4 with a promised winner every 10 minutes, which means that roughly 6000 gold PS4s will be given away.

Here are the official details on the contest, and how you turn your code into a contest entry.

Today Only: Amazon Prime Subscription Discount

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

If you’re looking to get your hands on an Amazon Prime subscription, but aren’t looking to put forth the $99 to get that done, then hurry on over to Amazon and get your credit card ready. Amazon just won some surprising Golden Globe awards thanks to its hit series Transparent, specifically for the show’s lead actor Jeffrey Tambor. Amazon’s breakthrough came at the 72nd annual Golden Globes. Since that was their official coming-out party as a broadcaster, that means Amazon is going to cut the price of a year of Prime to $72 for a year of Prime service.

Even if you’re not a big user of Prime’s Instant Video service, Prime is a great deal. I mean, free two-day shipping! That turns Amazon from a good place to shop for fun stuff to a great place to shop for pretty much everything. Especially if you like to buy in bulk for stuff like paper goods, detergent, or all the stuff that you need a steady supply of. As a person who has had Prime since the streaming video service began, it’s proven itself to be invaluable.

Cyber Monday's Hottest Deals

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

It’s the biggest shopping day of the year, and it’s only getting bigger. Black Friday and Thanksgiving weekend sales are all well and good, but anyone who is a bargain hunter knows the weekend isn’t complete until Cyber Monday has passed and left bargains scattered hither and thither all over the Internet. Fortunately, there are a lot of folks putting together good lists of all the best stuff out there. Here’s USA Today’s round-up of some of the best Cyber Monday deals on technology, computers, and other fun gadgets.

There are some really great deals there, particularly if you’re in the market for a new laptop, a Kindle Fire Phone, or some other sort of expensive gadget. Expect to save hundreds of dollars per device, depending on your gadget appetites, but there are also some other great deals. In particular, there are some very cheap gift cards and lots of fun accessories. Given that I’ve become a regular podcast guest on the Continuous Play/Film Strip podcast, I’m eyeballing the wireless bluetooth headsets quite hungrily.

Got any good deals I should be looking at? Feel free to comment below!

Fill Your Reader With Free Books

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

It’s not hard to find books these days if you’re looking for them, but sometimes you just need a little extra help to find the best possible books and the best possible book deals. There are many reasons to give away a book, including as part of a lending library to encourage Amazon Prime purchases, but the best book is given away for no good reason. However, how do you tell what’s good and what’s not? SCIFIDEALS.com is a daily newsletter sending the best in free and discounted ebooks right to your inbox.

So far, I’ve gotten several free books through the service (I signed up when I was told about it), and there has been nothing but quality sent through the service. I can’t recommend it highly enough, which is why I’m spreading the word to you guys as we speak. I wouldn’t have written about the service if I didn’t think it was awesome, and it’s definitely awesome. (Disclaimer: I know Adams Briscoe and worked with him on PopFi.)

Please go sign up to SCIFIDEALS.com right now. You won’t get spammed or otherwise mistreated. However, you might find your free time is being spent reading instead of doing whatever else you were doing.

Get Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics Free From GOG!

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

If you’re not familiar with the website Good Old Games, they’re a company that updates classic computer games and re-releases them in such a way that they are easy to buy, easy to download, easy to install, and easy to play on updated computers. No more compatibility errors; GOG takes care of all that for you and allows you to play some of the best games ever created for dirt cheap. Or, in some special cases, FREE. GOG has put Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics on their site for free, but you only have 11 hours or so left to claim your copies.

Perhaps most impressively, GOG purchases come not only with the game, but with a host of special features. Fallout 2 comes with the Fallout Bible, manual, avatars, original soundtrack, wallpapers, and other awesome special downloads for free. Once you buy a game on GOG, it’s free forever, and you can store the installation files for as long as you want. The whole thing is DRM free, and that makes GOG something really, really awesome in the video game world.

Just signing up for a GOG account yields free games (I got seven free games when I joined, plus the three free Fallout games). So if you haven’t checked out GOG, sign up and give it a look. Even if you don’t buy anything, you’ll get something for your trouble.

by Ron Hogan Leave a Comment

We here at the Shak family of websites are lucky enough to have companies who are willing to give things away to our readers. One such company is WholesaleKeychain.com, who have teamed with sister site Love Shak, Baby to give away not one… not two… but three free digital photo keychains! Who doesn’t like a free keychain that displays your digital photographs for the world to see?

Here’s how you can get in on the action. Head on over to Love Shak, Baby and read this post. It has the official rules, and it’s where you’ll need to comment, but I’ll also give you a quick rundown myself, so that way you’re prepared and can thank me properly when you win. 🙂

1. Head on over to the Wholesale Keychain website and pick out the one you want for when you win.

2. Head over to LSB and leave a comment on this post (using a valid email address), telling us which keychain you like and how you think they could be used as a great promotional tool.

3. Spread the word. Twitter, MySpace bulletins, blog posts, emails to your friends… however you want to get other people in on the action, pass it on!

The giveaway ends on June 12th, but if you need a digital keychain before then (like for Father’s Day), or you just want to buy one and not pin all your hopes on your ability to win the sweepstakes, then you’re in luck. When you pick up a keychain from Wholesale Keychains, just enter the code Shakadoo when you check out and you’ll get free shipping! How awesome is that?
