I hardly KNOW her!| Episode 96 | Press Play to Save

It's a red letter episode! Not only to we hit the deals, including extra iPhone storage (yes, it's a thing, kinda), but we hit a HEAPING pile of news, such as a Prime Day post-mortem and the pre-post-mortem of a Comcast/EA joint venture. And we kick off a brand new segment called Bundle Roulette - where we all get assigned a random bundled game to play and review, no matter how punishing!  RIDE THE WHITE DRAGON!
