Here are some the best Aussie deals from the eBay Plus Weekend sale

Australia’s end of financial year sales are meant to kick off in June, but eBay doesn’t care: it’s just launched a huge sales event in the form of its eBay Plus Weekend sale. Think of it as Amazon Prime Day, except eBay, and instead of a day (or several) it’s a whole week running today through to June 2.

One particular highlight is New Pokemon Snap for AU$45: that’s a damn good price for a first-party Nintendo game that’s less than a month old. But hold your horses, because that deal won't go live until Saturday at midday (May 29). The RRP is AU$79.95, and we’ve not seen it go for much cheaper than AU$67. 

We’ve listed a handful of gaming-related deals below, but there's also some other stuff you may be interested in. As the name of the event implies, you’ll need to be an eBay Plus subscriber, but if you don’t want to fork out, never fear: 30-day free trials are available. If you want to stick around, it costs AU$4.99 a month, or AU$49 for the year. Just remember to cancel your subscription if you don’t want it to renew after 30 days.

In addition to the highlights below—which we'll continue to update over the next few days—eBay is offering 20 percent off a huge array of goods on its storefront, to the tune of “millions of deals across fashion, tech, homewares and more”.

LG OLED55BX 55-inch OLED TV | AU$1,895 (usually AU$2,795)
Here's a nice AU$900 off LG's 2020 model OLED. This 55-inch model is pretty easy to find discounted, since it's last year's model, but this is the cheapest we've seen it so far. It's a very good tele, with our sibling site TechRadar giving it a 4.5 star review. You'll need to use the code PLUSCC1 at checkout to score this deal.

Yamaha YAS 109 soundbar | AU$276.80 (usually AU$399) (save AU$122.20)
Save AU$122.20 on this decent soundbar, which is usually on the budget side of things: now it's on the even budgeter side of things. Does that make sense? It means it's cheap. You'll need to use the code PLUSTI20 to get this price.

Yamaha YAS 209 soundbar + subwoofer | AU$420.80 (usually AU$649)
A nice AU$228 off this soundbar, which comes with a wireless subwoofer. It's on the higher end compared to the model listed above - hence the price - and it'll definitely pump out a sound suitable for both gaming and movies. You'll need to use the code PLUSTI20 to enjoy this discount.

Alienware 25 AW2621HFL gaming monitor | AU$348 (usually AU$699)
If you've got an Xbox Series X or PS5 and want to make sure you can take advantage of those (albeit rare) 120fps games, then how about a lot of headroom? This 240Hz 24-inch 1080p gaming monitor is currently going for well below the usual price. Use the code PNVDG20 at checkout.

Alienware 27 AW2720HF gaming monitor | AU$479 (usually AU$899)
As above, if you love your refresh rates exorbitantly high (at least, in the realm of console gaming) then this model will deliver framerates of 120 easily, with grunt to spare. This model is a 27 incher, and is currently close to half price off.

Razer Basilisk Ultimate gaming mouse | AU$159.20 (usually AU$199)
With the discount code PLUSTI20 you can cop just over AU$40 off this wireless gaming mouse, which comes with a charging dock. That's a great discount on a mouse that rarely trebles below the AU$200 mark, and it's a good choice if you're after something with incredible 20,000 DPI sensitivity that you can't get tangled up in.

New Alienware M15 R5 gaming laptop | R7 5800H | RTX 3060 | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD | AU$2,239.19 (usually AU$2,799)
If you want to get into PC gaming, you couldn't go astray with the beast of a gaming laptop: those specs will run pretty much anything you can throw at it at the moment, and its 1080p display has a 165Hz refresh rate, all the better for all the frames. You'll need the coupon code PNVDG20 for this discount.
