Speaking of subscription services, we have an exclusive deal for you on one of the most popular subscriptions in the world of video games. Eneba has one year of PlayStation Plus for just $34.75 when you use code VERGE365DEC. The same one-year subscription normally costs $59.99, so this deal saves you $25.24 and brings it down to about $2.90 per month. You don’t have to be a new subscriber to PlayStation Plus to take advantage of this deal, though it is limited to USA accounts.
For the Xbox owners looking for a good deal, we haven’t forgotten about you. If you have been lusting over a customizable controller like Microsoft’s Elite Series II but are a little unsure of spending upwards of $140, the PowerA Fusion Pro is an inexpensive way to test the waters a bit. Best Buy is selling the wired Xbox version of the Fusion Pro for just $29.99, discounted $50 from its usual $79.99 selling price. This controller comes with swappable thumbsticks, anti-friction rings for less stick drag, and mappable back paddle buttons. Paddles are an excellent way to get an edge in competitive games, allowing you to execute moves in FPS games that normally require you to take your thumb off the stick for a brief moment.
Since advanced buttons like paddles may not be for everyone, the PowerA Fusion Pro allows you to test the waters of an advanced controller without breaking the bank. For Nintendo fans, the wireless Switch version of the Fusion Pro — which is similar to the wired Xbox pad but with Bluetooth — is also discounted. That model is down to $79.99 at Best Buy from its usual $99.99. Read our review of the wireless FusionPro for the Switch here.

- If you’re in the market for an Intel-based Mac, the best deal around today is on the 2020 model of the 21.5-inch iMac with Core i5 CPU, 256GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM. It’s just $799 on Amazon ($300 off). We recommend springing for the newer M1 iMac, but you can’t deny that’s a very good price for a home computer.

All together, it costs $354.95 on B&H’s daily deal, a savings of $150.
