Australia's first Amazon Prime Day is now in full swing - and some of the deals are a lot better than most punters were expecting. Take, for example, the 1TB PlayStation 4 Pro which is currently going for just $379. That's a cool 32% off the sticker price (and around $100 less than a vanilla 1TB PlayStation 4.) The deal also comes with some Fotrnite goodies.

Nintendo might have gotten more buzz in 2017, but Sony's PlayStation 4 just had a quietly excellent year. In fact, it was arguably the system's best run since it came out.

So the launch of Amazon Australia wasn't earth-shattering. In fact, it was downright disappointing, mainly from a price standpoint. It's not all bad news however -- you can still get some bargains if you keep an eye out, such as this deal on Sony's PS4 Pro.

I always thought this should have been a launch feature, but not to worry, it's available now thanks to the latest PlayStation 4 firmware update. If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro, and you're playing one of those pesky games that haven't been patched for PRO PERFORMANCE, you can now activate 'boost mode' to make them perform better.

A lot of families and kids will have gotten a shiny new console for Christmas, and given that Nintendo's new console isn't out until March, chances are that console is either a PS4 or a Xbox One. There's more PS4's in Australia right now, and so there's a good chance that you or someone you know has one.

But part and parcel of the console experience these days is typing things in - names, emails, passwords, the whole lot. And doing so with the controller is a miserable experience. Fortunately, your phone can help.
