The Boxing Day sales are finally here and we're seeing record-low prices on a range of gaming tech this sales period.
Some of the biggest tech and gaming deals come around during Black Friday and Boxing Day sales, so if you missed out last month – it's the perfect time to grab some goodies. In preparation for the New Year, we usually see retailers cut prices on all sorts of products as they clear out seasonal stock. Games and tech aren't left out, and so from November onwards, you can generally make significant savings on big purchases like gaming laptops and TVs, as well gaming accessories and consoles.
During Black Friday sales last month we saw a pretty significant price cut on the Xbox Series S, where it hit its lowest-ever price of £189.99. We then saw this deal extended, with it lasting until Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, it is no longer live.
The Nintendo Switch OLED also hit an all-time low of £269.99 this Black Friday and although we didn't see these deals extended like that of the Xbox Series S, Nintendo introduced some great bundle deals at its store which will be available until the end of the month. You can currently pick up an OLED console and get either Mario Kart Live or The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for free.
