Josh Lack
Josh Lack covers technology with a sharp focus on launch-day video game bargains, using his coverage at Press Start Australia to point readers to the cheapest Australian options for new releases such as Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. His work centres on value at the checkout rather than specs on a datasheet, distinguishing him from more general technology reporters who prioritise product features or industry news.
Australian day one bargain guides
Lack’s signature pieces are day one bargain guides that round up the lowest prices available for major new releases in the Australian market. In his coverage of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, he frames the story around “the cheapest Australian day one bargains,” signalling that price comparison and purchase timing are the core of his reporting rather than review or commentary. This format makes his work especially useful at the point of sale, when readers are deciding where and how to buy a game on release.
Consumer value as the organising principle
Across this technology beat, Lack treats consumer value as the main lens for covering games and related products. Instead of focusing on technical novelty alone, he highlights how launch pricing, regional availability and day one offers affect what players actually pay. That emphasis on practical, wallet-level impact sets his coverage apart from more generalist technology reporting and positions him as a go-to byline when the story is about getting the best deal on new releases.
