Today is Pi Day — 3.14, aka the first three digits of pi — and retailers are celebrating this fake holiday with themed sales on electronics (and pizza). For the fourth year in a row, Microsoft is discounting several PCs by 31.4 percent and selling some laptops and Windows Mixed Reality headsets for $314. Newegg is discounting Raspberry Pi kits and other maker boards. Those are selling out fast, so the selection is limited.
This is your last call to pick up Surviving Mars, the new game from Tropico developer Haemimont, at a pre-order discount before its launch on Thursday. Pre-orders at Fanatical are already 15 percent off, and Fanatical is offering Polygon readers an additional 6 percent off Surviving Mars pre-orders. The standard edition is discounted down to $31.95 from $39.99. You can also get the First Colony edition with additional customization options for $59.92 (usually $74.99).
