Deal: The first Transformers movie is free to watch on Google Play right now

If you need something to watch this weekend and have yet to see the Transformers series launched in recent years, Google is giving you a good reason to start. The company is offering Transformers for free in their latest promo. To be specific this is the 2007 film that kicked off the live action rendition of one of history’s greatest and most popular intellectual properties.

The fight is brought to earth, and the autobots soon find out that they’ll need to call on the courage of the human race to help fend off their foes.

If not for nostalgia, then you owe it to yourself to watch it for the cool factor alone. Oh, and this is a Michael Bay affair, so get ready for explosions. Lots and lots of explosions. Grab it from Google Play right here.

Moto 360 is going for just $165 at Google Play [DEAL]

Just yesterday we told you of a decent deal to get 0 off the Moto 360 at Best Buy, but Google seems to be one-upping that one in a big way. The company has reduced the price of the Moto 360 to just 5 over at Google Play, which isn’t quite 0 off but also doesn’t require purchasing a smartphone to go along with it.

This comes shortly after Amazon lowered the smart watch’s price to just 9 on their online storefront. We’re not sure if these reductions are temporary sales or permanent price cuts, but the fact that we’re stumbling across so many of them at the same time suggests inventory is being moved to make way for a follow-up at some point very soon.

How soon? No one can say as of yet, though recent rumors have told of a possible follow-up in the works by the Lenovo-owned company based in Chicago. We’re almost 100% certain that they’re close to introducing a follow-up before the summer ends, so be sure to consider that when buying this first generation product. Either way, it’s a pretty steep discount that you should take advantage if you’ve been yearning for an Android Wear smart watch and can’t stand to wait any longer. Grab the deal right here.

Deal Alert: Motorola giving free Moto E 2nd Gen (3G) with purchase of a Moto X 2014

The new Moto E on its own is a good value, but if you had your heart set on a second generation Moto X then you’ll be even more pleased with Motorola’s latest proposition. Buying a Moto X will get you the new Moto E for absolutely nothing.

The new Moto E added a front-facing camera to go along with yesteryear’s 5MP rear camera. You’ll also get a slightly bigger battery at 2,390mAh, 8GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM and a 4.5 inch 960 x 540 display. This particular 4G-less option does ship with a Snapdragon 200 as opposed to the Snapdragon 410, so be sure to keep that in mind when thinking about its performance.

It’ll ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop, too, so you’ll be good to go on a fairly recent version of Android (5.1 being the most recent). The deal lasts through March 24th so you have a few days to take advantage. Do so over at Motorola’s comfy abode right here.
