AU Deals: Super Early Boxing Day Game Savings, Winter Sale Deep Discounts, and More!

Time groweth short if you’re not planning on not being a Grinch this holiday season. Bargain-priced presents (which I suspect are early Boxing Day deals leaked early) can still be yours, particularly if you have the Super Fast Delivery perk unlocked via an Amazon Prime membership. I’ll still be on board over these holiday periods because I’m right there with your mentality—I cannot resist discounts and kick myself if I’ve missed them.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the Aussie birthday of a rare and expensive bird, the SNK Neo Geo CD. Released in limited numbers in Oz around the $600 ballpark ($1,299 in ’24 bux), this bad boy delivered near-perfect arcade-quality games, though it was a “budget” alternative to the hilari-expensive, cartridge-based Neo Geo AES. Being CD-based marred this unit with lonnng load times, though the gruelling wait for Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, and Fatal Fury was always worth it. Here’s a shot of the beast I sold a kidney and a lung for. Laser: still going strong.

This holiday season, I’m doing something different with the LEGO section. In Mathew Manor, my sons and I are racing LEGO Advent Calendars—we open our respective ones daily and compare the mini-prizes for “Coolness” and “Actual Xmas-ness”. Winner gets extra eggnog.

If you’re also feeling festive, here are the cheapest prices for the three calendars we’re using. Or just live vicariously through us.
