Here at Lifehacker HQ, we've been pretty hard on Amazon Australia during its first six months in business. We've slammed them and we've studied them. We've complained and we've applauded. Truly, they're coming good and prices are lining up with what many had expected pre-launch.

One category where they're really beginning to dominate is video games.

G'day! The Click Frenzy may be over, but here are some cracking deals for Lifehacker readers today including eBay 20% off (almost) everything, Nintendo Switch for $378, cheap Dysons, 2 for 1 Blu Ray and 4K and more!

On December 5 2017, Amazon Australia opened its virtual doors, in the dead of night. After weeks of speculation and rumour, credit cards were unleashed and bargains were ready to be hunted.

One month on, how does Amazon Australia look?

Could it be?

Could we finally be getting the huge Amazon Australia discounts that we hoped and dreamed about when the service launched in early December?

Look, I'll be honest. At this point, trying to predict a launch date for Amazon is going to require some divination. There's been no word from the '800-pound gorilla' and no comment on the speculation. All that potential bargain hunters can do is keep refreshing that home page.
