Latest PlayStation Deals
- Borderlands 4 (-42%) A$69 Slicker systems and better flow make this the strongest modern entry. Humour still divides, loot does not.
- Hogwarts Legacy (-52%) A$52.40 A confident fantasy sandbox with excellent combat feel. Open world padding shows, but the core loop is sturdy.
- Suikoden I and II HD Rem. (-41%) A$41.10 Still politically sharp and emotionally messy. The remaster smooths edges, but these games remain proudly old school.
- Persona 3 Reload (-68%) A$31.30 Stylish, melancholic, and far better paced than before. Social systems still demand time, but the payoff is earned.
- God of War Ragnarok A$69.40 Expansive and emotionally confident. Combat depth shines, though its length occasionally mistakes volume for weight.
PS4
- The Walking Dead The Telltale Def. Series (-55%) A$31.20 Still devastating, still uneven. When it lands, it lands hard. Technical quirks persist.
- Sonic Superstars (-47%) A$50.70 Bright, fast, and occasionally awkward. Momentum shines, bosses less so.
- Resident Evil 4 (-31%) A$38 A masterclass remake that respects tension. Combat is heavier, pacing tighter, and fear more deliberate.

Third Party Picks: Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded Wireless
If your standard PS5 pad is feeling a bit too vanilla, the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded turns up like a Swiss Army knife that has been hitting the gym. This thing is modular from top to tail, letting you swap bits in and out until it feels like an extension of your own thumbs. The stick modules use Hall-Effect tech (so drift can politely bugger off), and the upgraded 6-button Fightpad module is basically a love letter to anyone who has ever thrown down in a fighter and wished for a cleaner layout.
The triggers are a bit of a show-off too. With five adjustable stops and a Hair-Trigger option, you can tune them for everything from snappy shooters to slow-burn racers. Between the four mappable back buttons, the tidy wireless mode, and a wired USB-C backup, it is clearly built for people who like to fiddle until things feel just right. Battery life clocks in around 20 hours, give or take your caffeine-fuelled sessions, and there's the Victrix Control Hub on PC for deep tweaking this into a controller that means business while looking like a bit of a show pony.
Extra colours available DualSense Wireless Controller
The official brand DualSense is the current king of controllers on PS5 (because there are basically no other contenders at the time of writing). It features amazing haptics, adaptive triggers and a suave, two-tone colour scheme.
DualSense Edge
There’s a ton of fantastic tech packed into a controller that’s virtually the same size and shape you’re used to. The Function buttons work extremely well to let you create, tweak, and bounce between custom profiles, and the UI is slick and intuitive.
Logitech G29 Driving Force
This wheel has a 900 degree steering allowing you to turn the wheel two and half times which makes controlling the car easy. If you enjoy long gaming sessions then the G29 will be your perfect companion - thanks to the high-quality hand stitched leather.
Thrustmaster T300 RS GT Racing Wheel
Burn virtual rubber with a wheel that hits the perfect balance between performance and price. Key features include: a brushed metal central spokes, pedals that look like they’ve been ripped out of a real car, and remarkable belt-driven force feedback.
Mayflash F300 Arcade Fight Stick
Well respected in fighting game circles that can sometimes be octagonal in nature, Mayflash delivers a solid and responsive stick here. Just be aware that (at the time of writing) you’ll need a separate USB adapter to make this fully PS5 compatible.

PS5 HD Camera
At the time of writing, Sony’s pretty much the only game in town here. Still, you’re getting dual lenses for 1080p capture, plus it works seamlessly with the PS5's background removal tools to spotlight you while masking any disaster areas behind you.
PS5 Media Remote
Though it’s the smallest (and potentially least exciting) accessory in the PS5’s launch offerings, don’t underestimate how handy this little beauty is. It’s clearly labeled, responsive, compatible with TVs via IR, and saves on precious DualSense charge.
PS5 Pulse 3D Wireless Headset
The Pulse looks fancy and sounds phenomenal when playing on PS5. The sound of gameplay is not only clear and vibrant, it fills up the cans to create an incredible sense of space. Expect an impressive range, with full-bodied highs, mids, and lows.

Turtle Beach Atlas 200
The Atlas 200 is the kind of headset you forget about, and I mean that as a compliment. You plug it into the DualSense, the PS5 does its thing, and suddenly you are three hours deep wondering where the evening went.
Sound is clean and sensible rather than flashy. Footsteps are easy to place, dialogue comes through clearly, and explosions have enough weight to feel satisfying without rattling your skull. It works just as well for late-night *Helldivers 2* chaos as it does for slower, story-heavy games where you actually want to hear what people are saying.
Comfort is where it quietly wins. It is light, the earcups sit softly, and it does not clamp your head like it is trying to prove a point. I wear glasses and had zero pressure issues, even during longer sessions. The flip-to-mute mic is basic but dependable. You sound like yourself, not a walkie-talkie.
There are trade-offs. Bass heads will want more punch, and anyone chasing wireless freedom or deep EQ tinkering will need to look higher up the price ladder. This is very much a plug-in-and-play situation.
But that is also the appeal. The Atlas 200 is affordable, comfortable, and does not demand attention. If you just want a PS5 headset that works, feels good, and does not overthink things, this one is hard to argue with.
Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Wireless
If your old headset is hanging on by hopes and duct tape, the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 in black rolls in like the glow-up your PlayStation setup has been begging for. It runs on low-latency 2.4GHz wireless, hops to Bluetooth 5.2 whenever you fancy, and the QuickSwitch button flicks between the two faster than you can say, "Who is hogging the TV?" With up to 80 hours of battery life, you will probably quit long before it does.
The audio side packs a decent punch thanks to the 50mm Nanoclear drivers tuned for spacious, PlayStation-friendly sound. The flip-to-mute mic is tidy, and the AI noise reduction tries its best to ignore whatever chaos is happening behind you. Toss in a handful of EQ modes, including the wonderfully dramatic Superhuman Hearing, and you can fine-tune things even further through the Swarm II app.
Comfort-wise, I can confirm it's been built for long sessions. The glasses-friendly design reduces that annoying temple squeeze, the memory foam cushions are plush enough for marathon nights, and the lay-flat frame makes it travel friendly. It is a slick, comfy all-rounder that refuses to chew through battery like a gremlin.
PS5 DualSense Controller Charging Station
Keep a spare DualSense clicked into this on standby, and you’ll never need to be ball ‘n’ chained to a USB-C cable again. Better yet, this double adapter solution will effectively free up one of your precious USB ports.
MENEEA Charger Stand for PS5 Controller
If the official charger is a little rich for your tastes, this aftermarket alternative might fit the bill better. This stand accommodates and simultaneously charges two PS5 controllers via two Type-C adapter ports. Simple, effective, and inexpensive.
Western Digital My Passport 4TB
When you’re living in the age of 500GB+ installs for one shooter, you really do need to think about getting more storage. This HDD ticks the boxes by being 3.0, fully powered by USB, and it offers transfer speeds up to 500MB/s.

The Best Game Cave Glow-Up Deals
I finally decided to tackle the gloom in my gaming setup and invested in the Philips Hue Bridge and Ambiance Gradient Lightstrip. Setup was straightforward: plug in the Bridge, connect it to my router, and the Hue app guided me through the rest. The Lightstrip's gradient technology allows it to display multiple colours simultaneously, creating dynamic lighting effects that transform the room's ambience. Whether I'm streaming or just gaming solo, the customisable scenes and smooth transitions make the experience more immersive.
Yes, it's pricier than basic LED strips, but the quality and versatility justify the cost. The Lightstrip is flexible and extendable up to 10 metres, allowing for creative installations around the room. Plus, the Bridge supports up to 50 lights, so expanding the setup in the future is straightforward. If you're serious about creating a professional-looking streaming setup or just want to enhance your gaming environment, this combo is a game-changer. Highly recommended as a purchase.
