If you own Philips Hue lights and want them to react to what’s on your screen, the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K is the ideal companion. It synchronizes your smart bulbs and light strips with the colors displayed on your television, making movie nights and gaming sessions far more immersive. Right now, the device is seeing a notable price drop as part of Philips’ ongoing “Bright Days” promotion. You can pick it up directly from the Philips Hue store for $269.49, which represents a $115 discount compared to the price at most other retailers, including Best Buy. This sale also extends to a wide range of other lighting products.
Functioning as an HDMI hub, the Sync Box can connect up to four devices, such as gaming consoles, a PC, or streaming sticks. It supports 8K passthrough at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz, along with HDR10 Plus, Dolby Vision HDR, and Dolby Atmos audio for a premium home theater experience.
A critical requirement to keep in mind: the Sync Box relies on a Philips Hue Bridge to communicate with your lights, including the popular gradient light strips that mount behind your TV. If you don’t already own a Bridge, a standalone unit typically costs around $65. However, a smarter move is to check out the discounted bundle on Philips’ website, which pairs the Sync Box with a Bridge for just $301.93. That effectively cuts the cost of the Bridge in half.

GameStop is currently running a promotion on pre-owned games where the savings scale with your purchase quantity. Buy two or three games and get 10 percent off the total.

Logitech G435 is a reliable, budget-friendly gaming headset that doesn’t overload you with premium features or materials. The black model, featuring subtle neon green accents and a beamforming microphone, is currently priced at $37.49 on Amazon. That’s a $43 discount and the lowest price seen so far this year. I’ve been a fan of this headset since its 2021 release; it works well with a PC or PS5 using its 2.4GHz USB-A dongle, and it also supports Bluetooth with a handy button to switch between wireless modes.
Baseus AM52 is a slim 10,000mAh MagSafe battery pack that promises 25W wireless charging for the iPhone 16 and newer models. It’s listed at $59.99 (down from $79.99) on Amazon for Prime members, but a promo code shared by Slickdeals users brings it down to $39.29. While it doesn’t come with a built-in USB-C cable, pairing it with one lets it deliver up to 45W to devices. Its capacity is modest, so it’s best suited for topping off a phone rather than charging a gaming handheld or laptop.
