Legendary Zelda Drops, $410 off a Jurassic World Haul, 75 Bucks for FC 25, and More!

Welcome back to another week of the finest savings on the video games that matter. Today’s all about sticking the boot into FC 25’s RRP, and scoring a PlayStation 5 Slim console for the cheapest price I’ve seen in a while. If nothing else, that offer certainly surpasses the exorbitant eBay scalper prices for a 30th Anniversary edition one. Still pretty annoyed that I missed out on that…
In retro news, I’m celebrating the 23rd birthday of PokĂ©mon Crystal, an ‘upper’ version of PokĂ©mon Gold and Silver that got slapped into the coolest sparkly-see-through cartridge Game Boy Color ever got. I played the connector pins off of this at launch and appreciated a bunch of new features, like greater avatar customisation, refreshed Pokemon sprites with introductory battle animations (!!!), and the debut of Battle Tower. The latter was basically a boss rush against seven level 100 trainers in a row. Why did I put myself through that hell? To win five Protein drinks (read: PokĂ©-‘roids). Worth it.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I do enjoy the rare times when this drops down from 89 to this much more reasonable price point. Why? Because it means more gamers will get the chance to experience a 10/10 masterpiece sequel to a 10/10 masterpiece original. Everybody should own this.
