Save 100 Bucks on a Steam Deck OLED, 180 off a Meta Quest 3, FC25 for $59, and More!

Awesome gaming platforms for less!

Welcome to a Thursday of high-end hardware savings. For starters, you can get a chunk of change off the sumptuous screen stylings of the Steam Deck OLED. For seconds, there’s a bit of a fire sale going on for the discontinuing Meta Quest 3 128GB. Take it from an owner of both; these are very worthy acquisitions and gateways to hours of fun.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the PC bday of Sonic CD, a port from the ill-fated Mega-CD. It started as a Sonic 1 enhancement but bloomed into a unique, Back to the Future romp, and my 16-bit brain was blown by this version’s superior 60fps, CD crisp soundtrack, anime cutscenes, and the Super Peel Out mechanic. It also debuted Amy Rose, Super Mario Kart-looking Special Stages, and the coolest villain 2D Sonic ever got—Metal Sonic. Oh, and let’s not forget its actual save system. No more leaving the PC on for days for me!

This Day in Gaming 🎂

Aussie birthdays for notable games and hardware

– Sonic CD (PC) 1996. Redux

– Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations (DS) 2008. Get

– MGS: Legacy Collection (PS3) 2013. Redux

– Dragon’s Dogma (PS4,XO) 2017. Sequel

null — Sadly, this never got a direct modern sequel. Which would’ve been called **Sonic Blu-Ray**.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Super Smash Bros Ult.

This absolute must-own is not often down around this price. Buy it for a considerably sized solo campaign with hours and hours of collectables chasing. But, yeah, the main event here is always going to be the timelessly entertaining multiplayer mode.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2

8/10, great. Unleashed 2 picks up where the surprisingly excellent 2021 original left off. That is, it’s not just the best thing on the breakfast bench since Micro Machines – it’s one of the strongest and most imaginative arcade racers available today.
