Best Buy has a bundle that combines the Blue Yeti USB-powered condenser mic with the video game Fallout 76 for a grand total of $89.99. This deal is available through Best Buy's official eBay store and the main site.
Honestly, the game is secondary here because the Blue Yeti normally goes for around $130. Other versions at Best Buy go for that much, and that's pretty much what you'll find it going for at other retailers like Amazon. We have on occasion seen the Yeti go for less than today's drop, but that hasn't happened in many months and usually only occurs around the big holidays.
The video game still goes for around $25 to $40 in most places, including Amazon. If you haven't played it before, that's essentially a new free game you can explore.
The Blue Yeti is powered by USB so it's easy to just plug in and get it going. It's a condenser mic that includes a tri-capsule array that can record almost any situation. You can choose from multiple patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo) that allow you to pick up audio from a specific direction (directly in front of the mic, all around the mic, in front and back of the mic, etc.). The mic also features gain control, a mute button, and zero-latency headphone output.
The mic works with Windows XP and up or Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher. It requires a minimum of 64MB of RAM, which is a really basic requirement.
If the Yeti is too much mic for you, you could also go for the Blue Snowball. It's also a USB-powered condenser mic, but it doesn't cost nearly as much. Either option would be good for an aspiring video maker or podcast recorder. That's totally up to you, though.
