We’re starting to get close to July 4th, which makes it an oddly fruitful weekend for tech deals. There are still a few E3 Game and Console Deals going on, and Best Buy’s Massive Apple Sale is still happening. Microsoft has already tried to get a head start on competitors with an early Microsoft Store Independence Day Sale, with discounts on Surfaces, Xboxes, and other Microsoft products.
Below are our our favorite deals for the weekend, gathered with help from our friends at TechBargains.
Deals of the Weekend
Moto Z3 Play with Battery Pack for $450 (Will be $500)
The Motorola Moto Z3 Play hits shelves on June 29, but if you preorder it on Amazon, you can get $50 off. We haven’t fully reviewed it yet, but given the track record of this line and what we do know about it, it’s likely a very good bargain for $450. It comes universally unlocked, so it works with every wireless carrier, and an extra Moto Mod battery pack that magnetically snaps onto the back of the phone is included in the box .
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Blu-Ray for $23 (Was $40)
Watch the movie that’s captivated the nation! WIRED loved The Last Jedi but a segment of the fanbase did not. They hate it so much that they started a pledge drive to remake it that’s raised close to “$90 million.” And we put that in quotes because the drive requires no financial information and says pledging is just about having your “voice heard.”
Robot Vacuum Deals
These two vacs didn’t quite make our Best Robot Vacuums list, but our top vacuum reviewer, Adrienne So, says both are excellent deals on good vacs.

V-Moda’s Crossfade headphones have a unique appearance but they do sound very good, and the BackBeat Pro 2 made our list of Best Wireless Headphones. The Oontz made our Best Bluetooth Speakers list and the Invoke is an honorable mention in our Best Smart Speakers roundup.
Apple Deals
Again, Best Buy is also having a huge Apple Sale. The iPad Pro and iPad Mini are two of the Best Tablets you can buy.
Entertainment and Gaming Deals
We really like this Vizio E-Series TV, and it’s got a huge screen for the price. The Xbox One X also comes highly recommended, and we’re excited to see a Switch with any kind of deal on it, even a small one.
