Destiny's not a perfect game, but it's pretty addictive, and Bungie has been updating it constantly . In fact, it's one of Kotaku's 12 bests for both the PS4 and Xbox One. If you still haven't picked up your copy, Amazon has them for half price on both current gen consoles, today only. That's better than finding a new loot cave. [Destiny (PS4/One), $30]
Speaking of Destiny, Best Buy is selling the Glacier White PS4 Destiny bundle at a $50 discount today, and even throwing in a free copy of Killzone Shadow Fall for good measure. [ Sony Glacier White PlayStation 4 Destiny Bundle plus Killzone Shadow Fall, $400]

We already knew that the Google was bundling in $20 in Google Play credit with the Chromecast for the holidays, but Best Buy is currently adding in an additional $20 in credit on top of that. This means that you're literally paying $30 to get $40 on Google Play, and a Chromecast thrown in for good measure.
Update: We're hearing from a few of you that the Google Play credit isn't showing up in the Google Offers page when you register the Chromecast. You'll still get the $20 from Best Buy, plus some goodies from Google like a free X-Men movie, two months of Hulu+, and three free months of Google Play Music All Access regardless, so it's a good deal no matter what, but keep in mind that your mileage may vary.
Best Buy's $20 credit will be emailed to you after purchase. To claim the other $20, register your device with Google by December 21, and claim the special offer. [Google Chromecast + $40 in Google Play Credit, $30]
Most good Mac deals tend to be on Apple's laptops, but today, it's the desktops' turn. Apple's Mac Pro, Mac Mini, and Retina iMac are all on sale today at B&H, with discounts ranging all the way up to $800.

Amazon's running a bonus Gold Box deal on the highly rated V-Moda Crossfade M-80 headphones, today only. You can score a pair in black or white for just $80, which is $10 less than the previous record low price.
So what's so great about these? For starters, they're practically indestructible. The headband is rated for up to 10 flat bends, the cord is wrapped in kevlar, and the whole product is designed to survive 60 drops from head height onto solid concrete.
Beyond that, reviewers almost universally praise these cans' sound quality, and you can even buy customizable face plates to make them your own. As with all Gold Box deals, this price is only valid today, or until sold out. [V-Moda Crossfade M-80 Headphones, $80]
