Take up to $70 off of Sonos' wireless speakers

Sonos is the wireless audio company that everyone can agree on: Product reviewers like Wirecutter consistently rank their high-end soundbar, whole suite of speakers and their subwoofer, which looks really cool, as their best of class. Because of their sound quality, ease of setup, sleek design and Alexa compatability, they're about as good as wireless speakers get, and about as good as a home theater setup and/or multi-room speaker system that you can get without going into the pricey world of high-end audio equipment.


And today, the whole suite of speakers is on sale. You can cop the base model Alexa-enabled Play:1 speaker for only $135 through the end of the day, $65 less than its $200 retail price. My friend had these little speakers set up throughout his gigantic apartment, and being able to have music booming throughout the entire place was incredibly cool.



But wait, there's more. If you're looking to give your TV speakers a boost, Sonos' soundbar and subwoofer are both $70 off each. And if you want even better sound for a single room, the Play:5 that comes with six audio drivers is $50 off.

Get every single Alien movie on Blu-Ray for $28

Back in May, I took it upon myself to watch every single film in the four-decade long Alien franchise in anticipation of Alien: Covenant. Even though it was a huge pain in the ass to watch all those movies in a week, it solidified the original as one of my favorite films of all time (it's a masterpiece) and let me take a deep dive into one of science fiction's most consistently good franchises. For example: Did you know that Alien: Resurrection is a seriously good black comedy?


For today, you can take up to 65% off of the Blu-Ray box set of all six films in the franchise (the Alien vs Predator movies are terrible and don't count) and get it for as low as $28 if you are a Prime subscriber. These films are super rewatchable and this is an incredibly good deal.
