I spend an embarrassing amount of time watching prices move, partly out of professional duty and partly because I hate paying full price. This week’s crop finally rewarded the obsession. There are a few deals here that feel less like discounts and more like apologies. Happy hoidays and even happier savings to you all.

This Day in Gaming 🎂
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 29th birthday of Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams, arguably gaming’s greatest seasonal freebie. Mind you, last year’s Christmas level update for Astro Bot sure does come a close second.
Sega threw Chrissy NiGHTS in with my purchase of a select Sega Saturn game, and it was basically a little advent calendar whose content shifted in sync with my console’s internal clock. Beating a level (reskinned in a wintry and/or outright Christmas theme) earned you limited chances to solve a tile-matching puzzle to unlock 25 “Presents.” The best of the bunch? A mini-sandbox level starring Sonic the Hedgehog that ends with a satisfying Eggman scrambling. I adore this demo disc and replay it every year without fail.
Aussie birthdays for notable games.
