It's the weekend, which means it's time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a nice chance to save on a Nintendo eShop digital gift card. As of this writing, a $50 gift card for Nintendo's online game store is available for $45 at Amazon. This isn't a massive discount, clearly, but it effectively nets you a free $5 if you plan on picking up a new Switch game or two anyway. It's worth noting that this credit is applicable to purchases on the older Wii U or Nintendo 3DS as well, so if you want to download games on those consoles before their stores shut down next year, this is one way to save a few bucks along the way.
Besides that, our roundup also includes a rare discount on Paramount+ subscriptions. You'll have to be a new or returning user to take advantage, but if that's the case, you can get a three-month membership for either the ad-supported "Essential" tier or the (mostly) ad-free "Premium" tier for 80 percent off when you use the code "BIRTHDAY" at checkout. This brings the former plan down to $1 per month (instead of $5) and the latter plan—which also includes a live feed of your local CBS station and lets you download shows for later—down to $2 per month (instead of $10).
In general, the streaming service formerly known as CBS All Access doesn't have as deep a library as competitors like Netflix and HBO Max, but if you wanted to check out shows like Star Trek: Discovery or the upcoming Halo series—or if you just need Nickelodeon shows for your kids—this is a more affordable way to sample the service. Just note that, by default, your subscription will be set to auto-renew at its usual going rate once the discounted period is up. ViacomCBS says this deal will expire on March 7.
