Black Friday deals are a new thing in Australia, but it appears retailers are jumping on board with gusto. There’s some pretty great deals around and we’ve started rounding them up to make sure you get the best out of the event.

There are still Black Friday sales coming online, and if you see a good one add it to the comments below so everyone can take advantage.
Doubt it’s going to come up, but if anyone finds a deal on a Nintendo Switch please hit me up!
Check out Kotaku AU, they’ve been doing a series of deal posts for tech like Switches etc. Vooks dot net is good too for an Aussie repository of Switch-related deals.
I might have to wait for Cyber Monday but I want to find the cheapest Office Home 365 renewals so shout if you see any 🙂 But only from legitimate sources.
I haven’t seen too many Chromebook deals.
Also, deals on the Google Australia store are mild compared with what they’re doing in the United States.
Thank you, Daniel. Very helpful.
