Deals of the Week (May 16): Giant Monster Deals!

By Joe Warner on May 16, 2014

This week at Ben’s Bargains, we saw some great deals on tool sets, Nike Store brought back its popular 20% off clearance deal and Haagen-Dazs gave away free ice cream for a few hours. Plus, coins were big at Amazon.

After months of criticism and armchair quarterbacking, Microsoft turned around and decided to sell the Xbox One sans Kinect for $399 starting in June. This alternately made prospective buyers happy and early adopters/current owners sad. Microsoft will also remove the head-scratching Xbox Live Gold requirement on apps like Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. Hey, ma, it’s just like the PS4!
