Celebrate the weekend with these money-saving tech deals

I’m here with the latest collection of the best tech deals that appeared on The Verge this week. Similar to the last weekend’s post, deals have been ramping up lately. Hopefully it has helped you save a little money either shopping for yourself or a mom in your life for Mother’s Day. If you happen to be searching for a belated gift to ship over (orders placed today probably won’t arrive by Sunday, May 9th, which is Mother’s Day), check out our gift guide that’s full of fun gift ideas.
Here are this week’s best deals.
Save 15 percent on useful tech accessories from Satechi
Satechi makes several accessories, like USB-C hubs, adapters, Apple Watch chargers, and much more. If you find something you want from its catalog of gadgets, it’s offering a sitewide 15 percent discount when you use the offer code FORMOM at checkout. This deal will end on May 9th, which is Mother’s Day.
Get two years of PS Plus for your PlayStation for just $54
One of the best deals this week wasn’t a gadget but a membership. If you have a PS4 or PS5 and want to load up on PS Plus, you can two years’ worth of service for just $54. Sony usually charges $60 per year, so you’re saving a lot here. To get this deal, go to this page and tap “Buy Now” near the top. Then at checkout, make sure to double your quantity to two instead of one, then enter the offer code VERGEMAYPROMO to knock the price from around $60 down to $54.
You’ll get two codes, and you can redeem each one into your console as needed when it comes time to replenish your service.
