Much like the extremely early Black Friday bargains we saw, it seems a few retailers are keen to punch out premature Boxing Day deals. Case in point: the surprising drop on the big-boy version of Meta Quest 2, plus a bunch of sizeable chops on AAA game RRPs. Score ’em while stock levels last.

In glorious retro news, today marks 35 years since the great Castlevania slid into Aussie NES cartridge bays. Ludicrously impressive back in the day, it set a standard that over a quarter of a century worth of sequels are still being inspired by. Warriors named Belmont in high/wooden stakes drama with Dracula. Hearts inexplicably drifting out of destroyed lighting fixtures. Solving monstrous problems with the Devo approach (i.e., whipping it)—that all traces back to grandad here.
