We've got your new gaming headset right here, your wallet won't even break a sweat.
The Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset was the "biggest surprise" in Kotaku's gaming headset roundup, but the discount on it was today's biggest surprise. Grab it from Amazon today for $60 with free shipping- the lowest this headset has been, and the same price some people paid for a new copy of Aliens: Colonial Marines. It even looks good. [Amazon]
Two other fantastic deals today are the Samsung 840 250GB Solid State Drive and the EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Video Card, both at their lowest prices ever. Check them out in the "Rigged" section.
If you're more interested in selling than buying, Amazon is giving $20 bonus credit on $20 or more worth of games, consoles, or accessories traded in. This is the first bonus credit on games Amazon has ever done. Ends April 27. Read our full coverage here. [Amazon]
