Today's Dealmaster is headed up by a solid discount on a 12-month subscription to Sony's PlayStation Plus service. Typically available between $50-60 online, Newegg has memberships available for $40 with the code "EMCDFFD52" at checkout. Note that the deal applies to digital codes, not physical cards.
PlayStation Plus itself is still needed to play most PS4 games online, and subscribing still nets you access to a couple free titles every month. There hasn't been anything to suggest that Sony's online policy will change with the forthcoming PlayStation 5, so you should be safe to top up regardless of whether your current subscription is running out or you just want to stock up on service time. For reference, these 1-year subscriptions retailed for $45 on Black Friday; while we have seen them available for less than $40 on occasion, those instances have been rare.If you're not much of a PlayStation fan, though, we also have deals on internal SSDs, Amazon Fire tablets, the new 16-inch MacBook Pro, and more. Have a look below for the full rundown.
