Computer games have come a long way since they were first developed in the 1950s. In the first decades, computer games were a rather marginal affair, but since then they have become a widespread cultural phenomenon. It should be well done to find many in Norway who do not like computer games in one form or another.
The Norwegian Media Authority’s investigation Children and media 2020 shows that as many as 86% of Norwegian 9–18-year-olds play computer games. In this age group, as many as 96% of the boys play, while in the girls the proportion is 76%. It may seem modest, but the number of girls who play is increasing rapidly, and from 2018, the proportion of girls who play computer games has increased by 13 percentage points.

Gaming is about much more than just sitting with a mouse and a keyboard or a game controller. Gaming has become an essential part of our free time.
We at TechRadar are also passionate gamers. We in the editorial staff like story-driven adventure games, challenging shooting games, thrillers and massive online multiplayer experiences – to name a few. Whether we work, have a coffee break or socialize, the games the conversations are usually about.
Therefore, we decided to make a small Gaming Weeks event, right now as the autumn darkness descends. Here we focus all our attention on games and gaming.
We have gathered a lot of interesting reading on this website, where both newcomers and active and well-established gamers can pick up new knowledge. In addition, we have created a number of offer overviews, where we have collected the best offers on a large number of items. Need to play from the PS Store? Are you looking for a cheap Nintendo Switch? Maybe you’re looking for a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One console for the little ones in the family?
This case highlights our various articles, in addition to gathering the best deals from the Gaming Weeks campaign, aimed at users of both PCs and consoles. In our selection, we have concentrated on the good products.
What does Gaming Weeks have to offer?
During Gaming Weeks, we concentrate on games and hardware. Whether you are a passionate PC gamer or you prefer to swear by consoles, you will find a lot of exciting content. Here we have divided the offers into different categories: consoles, gaming PCs, components, accessories and games. In addition, we have collected a number of links to content on our pages, so that you can easily find our guides and overviews. Among other things, we have tested the best gaming headsets, gaming screens and… you will find them all below:
Here we have gathered the best offers on products from different categories. We will update the page as new offers emerge. If the products you are looking for are not currently available, the situation can change quickly in a few days.
Are the promotional products worth your money?
This is an interesting question, and the answer is yes for most customers, but there are of course exceptions and pitfalls.
Retailers often come with big discounts on products that are no longer very relevant. The low prices may lead to a temporary increase in popularity. New and current products rarely get a reduced price, as the demand for them is great. The exceptions may be special promotions.
Even with the best products, you can make big savings by finding the best deals. Retailer prices can change frequently, and it can be beneficial for the budget to strike at the right time.
When it comes to laptops or desktops, the offerings are a great way to get a high quality device. Even if the device in question is not necessarily brand new, it will still be able to be durable for a long time to come.
When it comes to games, the situation is a little different. Brand new products often have a high price, and are not very compatible with slim wallets. If you are willing to wait a few months, the same game releases can often be sold for half the starting price. Updates, more content packages and other optimizations often make the games even better and more comprehensive than when they were released. When it comes to online games, the situation may be a little different again, as current games often have more active players and thus can offer more exciting experiences.
Where should you buy games and gaming equipment?
This question is probably twofold. If we are talking about laptops, consoles and components, we recommend that you choose well-known and established dealers. If the unit should not work as intended, it is often easier with questions about warranty and right of return when dealing with reputable dealers. Therefore, it is probably not a good idea to choose unknown retailers, even though they may boast somewhat lower prices.
When it comes to games, the situation is different, because here the differences are smaller. But if you want a physical game, it is probably still a good idea to choose well-known retailers such as Elkjøp, Komplett.no, CDON, ProShop and Power.
If you do not want physical games, you can also buy directly from an online service. With consoles, there are few options, and here Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have their own online stores. Soon you will also get this opportunity with Steam Deck, the upcoming console from Valve. Steam is also relevant as an online store for PC games, just like the well-known Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
