Well, hello there, price-matching. At some time during the wee hours of March 10, 2013, several sites across the Internet — except for the Apple Store — cut the price of the Harman Kardon CL headphones in half. They were $200, but now they're $100. That's an enormous price drop that's rarely seen for headphones of this caliber. Giz alum Adrian Covert reviewed these headphones last year and only had nice things to say:
When you compare them to other lightweight, closed-back $200 pairs of cans, there aren't many that can top the CLs. The P5s may have superior construction and better imaging, and the TMA-1s may feel more durable, but neither combines price, design, portability and sound quality in quite the same way the CLs do.
Real people aren't concerned with the extreme nuances of audio. But they're sure that $20 pair isn't quite cutting it. For them, these Harman Kardons are a very good pair of headphones.
If there aren't many other $200 pairs of closed-back cans that can compare to the Harman Kardon CLs, then they're an absolute steal at $100. Usually a price drop like this signals a new model coming out soon, but these headphones will still sound great even if there's newer, shiner models out. Plus, they look sweet. Bottom line is that these are well-reviewed headphones that cost $100 less today than they cost yesterday. That's the definition of a deal. [Amazon, Best Buy, Worldwidestereo]
Update 4:55: Damn, looks like they're back to $200 everywhere we linked to. But Rakuten Buy.com - the only site with the discount we didn't initially link to - still has them for $100. [Rakuten]

You Shouldn't Pay More Than $20 For Starcraft II

It took a while, but Starcraft II finally has come down to the price range old Blizzard games live at: $20. Tomorrow, Heart of the Swarm, the first Starcraft II expansion, comes out. In fact, the launch party is going on right now. What this means is that the base game will eventually get a permanent price cut. But the sale pricing for Starcraft II has already started — if you're not vigilant, you'll end up paying $30+ (like the price on Amazon right now) but if you can wait a few days you can definitely find it for $20. Like today. It's $18 at Newegg with the code STW311. It's $20 at Best Buy too. [Newegg]

On Douglas Adams' birthday — immortalized in a Google Doodle — a great price for all five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. It's $11.50 for the paperbacks on [Amazon]. Starting in 1979, Douglas Adams started publishing the Hitchhiker's Guide series, which made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Hey, you got some free comics from Marvel. What else do you want?
A note on Dealzmodo: We're professional shoppers. We wade through virtual mall after cyber storefront to figure out what's actually a bargain. Yes, we make money if you end up buying. That's capitalism, but we're absolutely looking out for your best interest. Read this if you want to know more.
DISCUSSION
To our customers:
It’s been a whirlwind weekend, and we’re fresh from SXSW where Marvel Comics launched their Marvel #1 promotion featuring over 700 free comics distributed via our platform.
We expected a high degree of excitement for the Marvel initiative – and had believed ourselves prepared – but unfortunately we became overwhelmed by the immense response. We’re still struggling to keep our systems up.
The result is that you aren’t getting your comics when and where you want.
We don’t like letting you down. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve these issues so that you can have the experience you’ve come to expect.
To that end, we’re pausing the Marvel Comics #1 promotion for the time being. For those of you that want to take advantage of the offer – you will get your comics! Until we are able to reinstate this program in our systems, please click here and fill out this simple form, so you can be informed as soon as there is an update.
We’ll be communicating with you as often as we can and deeply appreciate the outpouring of support we’ve seen from our customers while we right the ship.
