Amazon’s Fire 8 is one of the best budget tablets on the market, and it’s currently on sale.

Razer Deathadder V2

One of the most popular gaming mice of all-time is currently on sale at Amazon Canada. Razer’s Deathadder has been a staple of the esports scene for more than a decade thanks to its best-in-class ergonomics and leading sensor technology.

The team at Rtings claimed in their review that the Deathadder V2 carries on the legacy of the original mouse, saying “It looks and feels almost identical to the Razer Deathadder Elite, but it has a much-improved cable, better feet, and a profile switch button.” It may be more than the average user needs, but for those looking to upgrade their mouse, the Razer Deathadder V2 is hard to beat for just $70.

Ubisoft Toronto’s ambitious open-world blockbuster is currently on sale at Best Buy Canada for a limited time. The latest game in the critically acclaimed franchise takes players to London, where they’ll help a resistance group take back the city from an authoritarian regime.

The game was released just two months ago, so this is a great chance to grab it at $30 off its regular price of $79.99. Our own Bradly Shankar included it in his list of top Canadian-made games of 2020, writing that “Legion’s meticulously crafted world, expansive assortment of potential recruits, and intuitive hacking mechanics make for a wonderful sandbox to play in.”
