Every Saturday for the past month, we’ve been having fun reminding readers of the kinds of deals and notable sales they might have missed out on during the week. The weekly roundup continues today, and below we’ll be presenting the best gaming and entertainment deals happening, plus the top-selling products on Polygon (hint: Zelda this, Zelda that).
One of the biggest stories this week was that The Super Mario Bros.Movie is now available digitally to rent or own through multiple services, like Amazon, Apple, and Vudu. Wahoo! The thing is, if you’re used to paying $5 (maybe $10 max) for a movie rental, you might be surprised to hear that this new movie costs $24.99 to rent, or $5 more to own — no matter the picture resolution you prefer.
However, you can save a few dollars off the cost at Vudu if you’re a new member who hasn’t used the service before. In fact, new members will save 15% on all purchases within your first month of using Vudu (limited to 10 transactions), so long as you use a credit card or a PayPal account to pay. This lets you knock $4.50 off the cost to own The Super MarioBros. Movie, or $3.75 off the rental cost. It’s not a knock-out deal, but at least it’s something.
New members can get 15% off up to 10 transactions for one month. See full terms here.
There’s such a thing as National Streaming Day. Did you know? Me neither. Anyway, Hulu is celebrating it with an offer that knocks the cost per month of its ad-supported plan from $7.99 to $2 flat for 3 months. You’ll be eligible to take advantage of this promotion if you’re new to Hulu, or if you’re a returning subscriber who cancelled more than one month ago.
If this sounds good to you, sign up before the deal expires on May 27 at 2:59 a.m. EDT / 11:59
