What is the Black Friday Sale?

Black Friday used to be a US-based event only, but now it’s taking Australia by storm. This year, it falls on 24 November – one month before Christmas, which makes it the perfect occasion to clear your Christmas shopping list, or the perfect excuse to spoil yourself. Black Friday is one of the busiest shopping days on the calendar and it’s famous for having some of the best deals around. You can read more about it in this handy guide.

Best gaming deals Black Friday

If you’re looking for a great deal on Black Friday, there are a few brands to keep an eye on, including PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, as well as Logitech for PC accessories and headsets. David Linehan expects some items to be more popular than others. “Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals are going to be a big hit – make sure you head down early so you don’t miss out,” says David.

Best Gaming Laptops and PCs

Wondering how to pick the right gaming PC or laptop for you? “When it comes to gaming PCs or laptops, it’s all about getting the right balance of power and performance within your budget; plus, if you’re getting a laptop, you’ll want to consider power usage and weight, too,” says Erem Karabadjak, The Good Guys Buyer – Tech. Also consider the types of games you’ll be playing and whether you need to prioritise ray tracing, multi-screen set-ups and/or refresh rates.

Best Gaming Monitors

There is a perfect monitor for every PC gamer, depending on your desk space and the kinds of games you play. A larger smart monitor can double as your TV. A curved ultrawide monitor can replace a multi-display set-up for racing sim fans. Meanwhile, first-person shooter fans will need to prioritise refresh rates over almost all else.

Best Gaming Headphones

Don’t forget to include gaming headsets in your set-up. A quality headset can give you a real edge over the competition – easily pick out footsteps and their direction, or hear when it’s time to change gears in a split second while racing. Keep an eye out for a high-quality mic, as well as Bluetooth connectivity so you can connect your phone for music or Discord chat alongside game audio. Wired headphones are compatible with all consoles, as are most Xbox-specific wireless headsets that have a dongle; PS5-specific headsets will usually work with everything but Xbox.

Best Gaming Accessories

When it comes to gaming accessories, comfort is key, as is travel distance on the keys and shortcut buttons (for example, on the mouse). Alongside controllers, keyboards and mice, you might also need streaming equipment (like mics and stands), as well as media remotes and mouse pads. Remember, a professional-level mouse with a high DPI is only as good as the surface it’s being used on!
