\"famous-bens-2-kenobi\"<\/a>This week at Ben’s Bargains, Best Buy<\/a> offered some of the best discounts we’ve ever seen on new Macbook Airs, with prices starting at $650. The catch: you need to have a .edu address.<\/p>\n

On the weekly Xbox One front: we saw a factory refurbished console for under $400 on eBay<\/a>. Brand-new, the console is currently hovering around $470.<\/p>\n

ThinkGeek<\/a> rolled out a big sale on all of their (unique) Star Wars stuff for “May the Fourth.” Time to spring for that Tauntaun hoodie<\/a> you’ve always wanted.<\/p>\n
