Rarely do we see gadgets get 50 percent discounts out of nowhere, so it’s unlikely, nay impossible Best Buy decided on the spur of the moment to be more generous than ever, and shave $150 off Galaxy Gear’s price. So make no mistake, this move was planned in advance. Regardless, a solid deal is a solid deal, and even if it’s pretty much universally hated, the Gear is a bargain at $150. Again, that’s half its $300 list price. Any catches, strings attached? Just one: prospective buyers need to handpick from exotic versions coated in rose gold, wild orange, oatmeal beige, and lime green, whereas more “serious” models, painted in black and gray, go for $250. I’m sure you know the Galaxy Gear is practically useless sans a compatible high-end Samsung smartphone, so why not kill two birds with one stone by also committing to a Galaxy Note 3? The 5.7-inch phablet will reportedly cost $200 with AT&T and Verizon two-year contracts via Best Buy during the weekend.
