Xbox Series S $299.99

Here we are, a year later, and the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X are still pretty hard to find. But the Xbox Series S is well worth looking at. Coming in at $200 cheaper than the Series X, it offers considerably better value for money. And while it may not have a disc drive, thanks to the amazing Game Pass service, you can have access to over 100 games at any time. Definitely not one to be overlooked. Currently being offered by Microsoft with a Fortnite and Rocket League bundle included.

Meta Quest 2 VR $299

Ok, so this one doesn't have any particularly strong discounts going for it. But if you want the best VR headset experience on the market, the Meta Quest 2 (the artist formerly known as Oculus Quest 2) is tough to beat. You can play completely wirelessly, or use a Link Cable and run games through your PC if they require a bit of extra power.

Secretlab's chairs are considered among the very best in the business. The 2020 models have some pretty healthy discounts available right now. Our pick is the Omega Stealth, but there is a large range to choose from. It comes with both a memory foam headrest and memory foam lumbar support. The headrest has a layer of gel to help keep your head cool. It also offers 4D armrests which can be moved into the perfect position.
