EOFY 2020 gaming deals in Australia

(Image credit: Sony)

June is a special time in Australia, because it's the beginning of a new financial year. Actually, scratch that: who cares about new financial years? What we care about is tax returns, and retailers know we like to spend our tax returns, just as much as they like to dispense of as much stock as possible. End-of-financial-year sales are rolling out and will continue to do so throughout the month of June, so it's definitely worth keeping your ears to ground. Or letting us do it for you.

While COVID-19 lockdown restrictions are slowly relaxing in Australia, the bargains available through online retailers will be many and varied. The sales normally occur between June 1 and June 30, unless you're Amazon, which kicked off its Mid-Year Sale a week early, which is basically an end-of-financial-year sale in all but name. 

We'll be keeping this page updated throughout June whenever something good pops up.

Without further ado:
