The Force is strong at Good Guys this week with a special deal on TVs. Buy selected TVs and you'll score a piece of Star Wars luggage. The R2-D2 option is our favourite. The deal is on TVs as cheap as AU$368.

Also at Good Guys, you can get a nice bonus deal on the 32GB Nexus 7. The AU$288 price is nice enough but getting a Logitech Mini Boombox bluetooth speaker worth AU$78 as part of the deal is a very nice sweetener that makes for a great combo when you're using the Nexus 7 to watch a show or listen to music.

It's Gran Turismo 6 week everybody and Dick Smith has great deals on Logitech racing wheel package deals. AU$179 gets you a Logitech Driving Force GT steering wheel with GT6 included, and AU$359 gets you the brilliant G27 racing wheel along with the game. Both deals mean you're scoring a copy of the game free with a steering wheel that will let you get the most out of the experience.

Speaking of driving, Dick Smith has an AU$50 gift card offer with the Garmin Nuvi 3597 GPS. We've just reviewed this product, and while we liked the design and features, it seemed just a little more expensive than it should be at AU$349. That AU$50 gift card sweetener makes it a very nice option.

JB Hi-Fi has a few big category discounts running until the end of the weekend, the standouts being 30 per cent off car audio gear, 30 per cent off Sony home theatre receivers, 30 per cent off Logitech keyboards and mice, 30 per cent off selected soundbars and 25 per cent off selected Bluetooth speaker systems. That's a lot of good gear at a lot of good prices.

Also don't forget that Sonos is giving a free Sonos Bridge to anyone buying a new Sonos speaker. The new Play:1 is AU$298 at JB Hi-Fi and the Bridge is worth AU$75. If you've ever thought you'd like to give the wireless streaming speaker system a try, this is a perfect place to start.

As ever there are a lot more deals out there, so go grab those store catalogues or read them online at lasoo.com.au and find a winning bargain for yourself for Christmas. See you next week!
