Your power & play shack
Three decades of getting genuine gear into Aussie hands — from a Wollongong game store in 1994 to your front door today.
From Game Shack to Discount Shack
It all started in 1994, when we opened Game Shack — a little video game store in Wollongong, NSW. Through the cartridge era, memory cards and every console generation since, we spent years matching gamers with the right games at the right price.
When the shopfront eventually closed its doors, the Shack didn't stop — it went online. We built a reputation as a trusted seller on Amazon and eBay, shipping thousands of orders Australia-wide. Now we've opened a home of our own: Discount Shack, stocking genuine console games alongside Energizer's rugged Everest power stations. Same crew. Same obsession with value.
