HWZ Deal Alert: 29th January 2016

Got deal, got talk! GDGT!

TGIF! It's Friday and it's time to let your hair down a little. Plus, it's the end of the month, so we are guessing it's payday for some of you folks too. In that case, why not celebrate a little by buying new stuff?

 

Transcend SSD370S 512GB SSD

Transcend Deal

Earlier this week we featured a 256GB SSD going at a crazy price, but if you think 256GB is insufficient for your needs, well we got the solution for you. Now, the Transcend SSD370S isn’t going to win any performance awards, but it’s a decent SSD and it will still run circles around any hard disk drive. The 512GB version of the Transcend SSD370S can now be had for S$227 from Lazada, which means it’s less than 45 cents per gigabyte!

And if you use Shopback, you can bring the price down even more. Shopback is a service that offers cashback (up to 4% on electronics) for purchases you make through their website. Once you purchase something and it's recognized on your ShopBack account, you can then withdraw the cash (provided you've accumulated at least $10 in savings) to your bank account.

 

 

ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 970

ASUS deal

Even though there are rumors that NVIDIA’s next generation GPUs could drop soon, the current GeForce GTX 970 is still a top dollar choice for gamers looking for the greatest value. Even though it’s over a year old now, it’s still powerful enough to run almost any game you throw at it at very high settings and at above Full-HD resolutions. The ASUS Turbo GeForce GTX 970 is unique in the world of graphics cards because it comes with a white cooler. Looks aside, it also uses a dual ball-bearing fan for quiet operation and longevity. Lazada is offering this card at S$499, which represents modest savings. But if you use Shopback, you can bring the price down even more. Shopback is a service that offers cashback (up to 4% on electronics) for purchases you make through their website. Once you purchase something and it's recognized on your ShopBack account, you can then withdraw the cash (provided you've accumulated at least $10 in savings) to your bank account.

 

Sid Meier’s Civilization 5: The Complete Edition

Do you count Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon as your heroes? Do you want to recreate their great deeds? If you do, Sid Meier’s Civilization 5 game might interest you. For the uninitiated, Civilization 5 is a turn-based strategy game that has received lots of praises for its gameplay. In the game, you must guide a civilization over the course of many years, and depending on the game type, you must either conquer other civilizations or simply seek to be the most advanced at the end of game. Civilization 5: The Complete Edition, which consists of the two expansion packs, Gods & Kings and Brave New York, as well as many other scenario packs is now available on Steam for just S$12.25.

 

Bioshock Triple Pack

Bioshock Deal

If you got nothing to do over this weekend, may we suggest playing the Bioshock series. The first Bioshock was released in 2007 and it was praised for its beautiful graphics, story and gameplay. This was later followed by Bioshock 2 in 2010 and Bioshock Infinite in 2013. All three games were critically acclaimed and are considered modern classics. Steam has all three available for just S$8.25 right now.

Get your wallets and cards ready and #BBBMTL!
