AU Deals: Fresh Price Drops On Big Series And Indies You’d Be Nuts Not to Own

I woke up this morning thinking I would behave myself, then I saw how many prices had quietly slid into the sweet zone again. I tell myself I am only browsing, but that lie never survives for long. There is real temptation across every platform today and it’s time to make out like a bandit before the bargains get gone.

This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m using an incendiary lick from K.K. Slider’s guitar to light a 20-candle cake baked for Animal Crossing: Wild World, the coziest life sim I ever smashed on Nintendo DS.

I still remember slapping that cart in and strolling into a village of friendly animals, hours of fishing, house-proud decorating, digging for fossils, and writing silly letters. The real time clock and seasons made the world feel alive, and the holiday events added small joys that made each visit feel special. Wild World also let me harass my mates online through Nintendo Wi-Fi, which was a rare thrill in mine ye olden times. As I always say with this series, only the geniuses at Nintendo could make paying off a crippling mortgage entertaining.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.

Legit LEGO Deals

Just like I did last holiday season, I’m getting festive with the LEGO section. In Mathew Manor, my sons and I are again racing this year’s batch of LEGO Advent Calendars. Basically, we open the City, Harry Potter, Minecraft, and Star Wars on the daily and compare the mini-prizes for “Awesomeness” and “Actual Xmas-ness”. 2024’s winner was the Lego Marvel one, but, weirdly, there’s no 2025 equivalent. So it’s anybody’s race this year.

Here are the cheapest prices for the four calendars we’re using. Score them yourself or just live vicariously through our unboxings.

• LEGO CIty Advent 2025 – A$59.95 $45
• LEGO Harry Potter Advent 2025 – A$59.95 $45
• LEGO Minecraft Advent 2025 – A$59.95 $45
• LEGO Star Wars Advent 2025 – A$59.95 $45
