This Day in Gaming ?
In retro news, I'm celebrating the 22nd birthday of the Gameboy Advance SP, the flip-top bestest version of the GBA SKUs. Debuting at a launch price of almost 200 dollarydoos, it would go on to ship a whopping 43.57M units before being discontinued in 2009. My fondest memory of my SP: using it in conjunction with a GameCube Link Cable to play asymmetrical multiplayer in Pac-Man Vs. all night long.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch
Kicking things off with the Switch, EA Sports FC 25 is a stunning 62% off at just A$34—a great opportunity to experience EA’s first football title since splitting from FIFA over a staggering billion-dollar licensing fee dispute.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Rockstar’s masterpiece Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mind-blowing A$20. That’s cheaper than a movie ticket for a game that took nearly eight years to develop.

Pure Scores for PlayStation
PlayStation deals are equally impressive, with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor down to A$29. Lead actor Cameron Monaghan (Cal Kestis) did all of his motion capture in full Jedi robes, adding to the immersion. And if you prefer a crime thriller, Judgment (A$29) offers a gripping Yakuza spin-off. Its lead actor, Japanese superstar Takuya Kimura, was such a big deal that his agency allegedly blocked a PC release for years to control his digital likeness!
