Amazon Gaming Sale
Posted: April 5th, 2016, 17:52
Amazon are launching a PC gaming store, for peripherals and components, and more disappointingly junk food and shite clothes. To celebrate this they have put up one of those flash sale events all week. This interested me, because I was planning on upgrading this month anyway.*
The problem is there's so many sales these days, and the RRP of things are so rarely used, that I really haven't a clue what's a good deal any more. I found 16GB of DDR3 RAM for £56, down from about £112. Seemed like a great deal, but then another site had it for the same price. Nvidia GTX 970 graphics cards seem to be about £10 cheaper than OCUK, despite the RRP generally being about £40 more.
So I'm left feeling completely uninterested in buying anything any more, since I can't be arsed working out whether something is a decent price or not. It's no wonder people buy consoles.
*Incidentally, I'm not sure why I want to upgrade. It just seems right since I haven't changed anything in 3 years.
