While you wait for the bird, the pies and the Thanksgiving Day football, check out some of the deals for your iPhone, iPod and Mac. Nothing goes better with gorging yourself on apple pie than yet another freebie from iTunes. This time we have Royce da 5’9″ “Something to Ride.” Next up is a number of classic games from Electronic Arts, including Tetris, SimCity and Madden. Finally, if you have a Mac but work with Windows files, get the best of both worlds with a deal on Parallels 5.0 for $40.
For details on all of these details and more (like a skin for the Nike+ iPod sensor), check out CoM’s “Daily Deals” page after the jump.
