GTA 5 for PS5
GTA 5 for PS5: was $59.95 now $24 at Amazon AU

Given GTA 5 has sold over 200 million copies, it's probably unlikely you don't already own it. But, in case you don't (or in case you do, but another another platform you don't wanna play it on) here it is for a tidy AU$24. It has sold very well and is obviously a very good videogame, so it obviously comes highly recommended.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: was $109.95 now $44 at Amazon AU

Save AU$65.95
This is a whole AU$4 cheaper than it was during the last Prime Day. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the most critically acclaimed Star Wars game for quite some time, and is the best fix you'll get this side of Star Wars Outlaws. In our Star Wars: Jedi Survivor review we gave the sequel 4.5 stars, writing that "Cal's new adventure is a mature, twisting narrative that establishes a new group of heroes and challenges what a modern Star Wars story can be."

Starfield
Starfield: was $119.95 now $32.51 at Amazon AU

Save AU$83.83
This is a very steep discount on a massive Bethesda RPG, and it's an especially good time to grab it with the recent release of the Shattered Space expansion (which is sold separately). Sure, reviews were divisive (our own review was glowingly positive), but if you're fond of earlier Bethesda RPGs in the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series this is basically a must-play. Note that if you're a Game Pass member, this game comes included with that service.

Save AU$1,100
If you want a gaming laptop that won't look too conspicuous in an office environment, Razer's Blade lappies are pretty much among the best you'll find. It ain't affordable, even with a discount, but if you need an upgrade this may be a tempting price. It's a 2023 model, and its specs are still impressive: it boasts a 15.6-inch 240Hz 1440p display, an RTX 4070 graphics chip, and Razer's famously robust form factor.

Glorious Model O gaming mouse
Glorious Model O gaming mouse: was $94.99 now $62.87 at Amazon AU

Save AU$32.12
Glorious is hardly a household name but this is a mouse we can recommend: In Katie's review it's described as "the lightest RGB mouse around", and it better be, with all those holes. The ambidextrous affair is "optimized for competitive gaming", and has a 1000hz polling rate. At this price, it may be worth just getting one and filing it away as a back up to your main moues. 

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X: was $1,199 now $475.55 at Amazon AU

Save AU$723.45
This 5900X CPU is a powerful chip: 12 cores, 24 threads, and plenty of grunt for whatever gaming you want to throw at it.

This price safely beats all the competition, so if you're in the market for this particular chip now is definitely the time to bite. It's a solid all-rounder for gaming and productivity alike; Nick was impressed when he tested it in July, writing that "it might be just a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with slower clocks, but you're still getting great gaming performance for a lot less money."

Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB DDR4-3200 C16 Desktop Memory
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16GB DDR4-3200 C16 Desktop Memory: was $126 now $84.15 at Amazon AU

If you're accustomed to running a browser with dozens of tabs open, then beefing your system up with 32GB of RAM will improve your system's responsiveness. It'll allow you to run more apps simultaneously, and it can help cut down on the time spent waiting on game loading screens or level transitions. For just $99, this Corsair DDR4-3200 kit is a cheap way to breathe some new life into an older DDR4 system.

Gaming headsets

Save AU$181.95
It's perfectly understandable if you don't want to fork out AU$450 for a gaming headset. You're not alone! But maybe this drastic reduction makes it a bit more doable.

This 25% discount applies to black while the red model is even cheaper at AU$199. Or, if you'd prefer the wired version of the Cloud III, that's down to AU$119 in black.

Corsair HS65 Wireless
Corsair HS65 Wireless: was $219 now $139 at Amazon AU

Yes, you will need a Prime membership to take advantage of the majority of this year's winter sale. You can easily pick up a free trial to comfortably see you through the event without spending a cent, though, and it's also worth noting plenty of other retailers are looking to compete.
