For less than the price of a movie ticket, you can command the fate of Arrakis-Humble Bundle is offering over $200 worth of Dune tabletop RPG rulebooks, guides, and adventure modules for just $18, giving you everything you need to scheme, battle, and explore the spice-rich sands from your own gaming table.
Dune: Part 2 is finally in theaters, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did (grab extra napkins if you’re buying the themed popcorn bucket). If you’re indulging in the second part of the Denis Villeneuve-directed saga and want even more ways to engage with the Dune universe, we’ve uncovered some awesome deals that pay homage to the house of Herbert. For example, you can currently pick up a comprehensive collection of core rulebooks and supplementary materials for the Dune: Adventures in the Imperium TTRPG from Modiphius for just $18 at Humble. You can also find discounted hardcover and paperback box sets of the Dune books at Amazon.
If you’re in the mood for something a little less dusty, we’ve found some impressive discounts on a PlayStation 5 hardware bundle, and following Pokémon Day earlier this week, some Pokémon games are discounted, too.
As we do every weekend, we’re providing you with our favorite deals from the worlds of gaming and entertainment, plus the scoop on the best-selling products that have made a recent appearance on our site.

This week is packed with standout gaming deals across platforms. Humble Bundle is offering the complete Dune: Adventures in the Imperium TTRPG collection-including all core rulebooks, adventure modules, and character sheets-for just $18, a bundle valued at over $200. PlayStation fans can score big with the PS5 Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 bundle, discounted to $399.99 for the digital edition and $449.99 for the disc edition, saving up to $120 compared to buying separately. PC gamers can grab the 256GB Steam Deck for $399, or upgrade to the OLED model for $549, both highly rated for their performance and display quality. Additionally, major sales like Sony’s Days of Play and GOG’s summer event are slashing prices on consoles, accessories, and thousands of top games, making it a great time to expand your library or upgrade your setup.
One of the best Dune games ever, Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, is currently featured as part of an impressive bundle happening now at Humble. This $17 bundle includes everything you need to get started with the spicy tabletop setting with PDFs of its core rulebook, character sheets, the Gamemaster’s Toolkit, and over a dozen other supplementary materials to build out your own campaigns.

Best Buy has delivered the first big deal on the PlayStation 5 of 2024. Since Thursday, the retailer has offered a $50 deal on the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 console bundle, which includes a copy of the game and the newer, slim version of the disc-based PlayStation 5, for just $449.99 (was $499.99). At its regular price, this bundle already saves you the $69.99 cost of buying the game on its own. Now, you’re getting a decent price cut on the hardware itself.
We haven’t seen a better deal on the PlayStation 5 since the holidays, and with the PlayStation 5 game library only getting bigger (and with plenty of great titles in its backlog), there’s never been a better time to pick up Sony’s console.

Amazon is currently discounting the fourth volume of the Columbia Classics collection to $149, the lowest price to date for the $216 box set. This collection features six 4K Blu-rays including His Girl Friday, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Kramer vs. Kramer, Starman, Sleepless in Seattle, and Punch Drunk Love, all contained in a beautiful bi-fold box.

Don’t ask me why, but I’ve been on something of a Battlestar Galactica kick lately, so imagine my disappointment when I found out that the complete Ronald D. Moore sci-fi series isn’t available to stream on any platform. Thankfully, you can pick up the entire series on Blu-ray from Amazon for $64.99 (was $99.99), or available digitally from Vudu for just $34.99 (was $232).
I’m partial to the Blu-ray box set, as it includes every episode of the series with bonus features and commentary, in addition to the one-shot episodes “Razor” and “The Plan.” Vudu’s digital version, however, only includes the basic episodes playable through the Vudu app. It’s still not a bad deal.

By bundling all essential materials together in an affordable package, it removes the typical high cost barrier associated with getting into tabletop RPGs, making it far easier for newcomers to dive into the Dune universe.

The offer also includes a 50% discount on select physical products, providing even more value for those interested in expanding their collection.
How does the $18 bundle lower the cost barrier for new Dune TTRPG players
The $18 Humble Bundle dramatically lowers the cost barrier for new Dune TTRPG players by offering a massive digital collection-valued at over $200-for just a small fraction of the regular price. The bundle includes the core rulebook, starter sets, character and house sheets, the gamemaster’s toolkit, and numerous pre-made adventure modules, covering everything needed to start playing immediately without requiring any further purchases.
Normally, even just the core rulebook as a PDF costs around $23-$25, so getting the entire suite of digital resources for $18 represents a substantial savings. By bundling all the essentials together, the offer removes the usual high upfront cost that often deters newcomers from trying tabletop RPGs. Additionally, the inclusion of pre-made adventures and guides helps new players get started with minimal preparation, making the entry process much smoother and more affordable.
