eBay Plus Weekend debuted in Australia last year, and it ended up being a lot better for PC gamers than we ever dared hope. We saw some hugely drastic discounts on Dell gaming monitors, as well as discounts of up to AU$100 on some of the best gaming headsets, keyboards, and mice.
Not too shabby for an online retailer that doesn't exactly specialise in PC gear. We're expecting some decent deals in 2022 as well, with brands like Alienware and Dell likely to sit front and centre. Yes, Dell and Alienware stuff is frequently discounted via Dell's own Australian digital shopfront, but usually the discounts on eBay are even better.
If last year is any indication, also expect discounts on Razer gear, as well as some other outliers. Gamepads are likely to pop up too, so if you're after either an Xbox or PlayStation controller to use on PC, then you might see one of those discounted by around AU$20.
All appealing news, of course, but you will need to be an eBay Plus member. Thankfully, you can sign up for a free trial, which lasts for 30 days. Just don't forget to cancel it before the trial period expires. It's not even illegal.
eBay Plus Weekend started Tuesday, May 24, and runs until Sunday, June 5. In other words, it's more of an eBay Plus week rather than weekend, but things not making sense is in keeping with the mystical logic of deals.
Without further ado, here's what we've found so far. Expect more to be added during the course of today, and the rest of the week.
