The holidays are upon us, a time to ravage our wallets in an attempt to score the hottest gear at the lowest prices — oh yeah, and all that family stuff too. Boxing week is going to help fulfill every gamers wish list, with deals that will push you over the edge from “I’ll wait till it goes on sale” to “Where did all my money go?”

Fret not, I have compiled a guide to help soothe the anxiety so you can focus on all the loot coming your way. Here’s the 2015 Boxing Week guide.
