UK Deal Roundup for October 16th, 2012

UK Deal Roundup for October 16th, 2012

The best of the UK prices

Written by KeithBGray on 16 October 12 at 08:09

Amazon and Blockbuster offer good deals on a single, upcoming title each. The former goes with the same approach, but applies the idea to a title which has already been released for a number of weeks. Things are feeling magical over at Shopto, with a couple of new Kinect titles witnessing big discounts. The revamp of TheHut's website seems to have prompted a new, exclusive promotion and other individually reduced games with the latter being matched by Zavvi.

As usual you need to click on the name of the retailer, the name of the deal or the deal price to be taken straight to the retailer’s offer page. Clicking on the name of a game will take you to the achievement list.

All prices are correct at the time of writing, and subject to change at any time at the retailer's discretion.

New Sales

Amazon will have you hitting the dancefloor this Friday as Dance Central 3 is available for pre-order at £33.91. The price is also matched by Tesco.

Blockbuster's Deal of the Week promotion has changed this week. You can put £34.99 down to reserve your copy of Hitman: Absolution.

Blockbuster has an individual deal on Max Payne 3, priced at £17.98.

GamesCentre's Special Offers have also changed. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Classics) is £14.99 and Syndicate is £10.99.

Play has began a new Warehouse Clearance. Unfortunately, only http://www.trueachievements.com/SBK2011/achievements.htm at £6.99 is a deal worth mentioning.

ShopTo has a couple of magical new random deals. The newly-released Fable: The Journey is £29.86 and Harry Potter for Kinect is £28.85. A Limited Edition of Darksiders II (including Argul's Tomb expansion) is priced at £19.85.

TheHut's Recommended Games promotion offers a bunch of good deals and just a few titles are detailed below.
Batman: Arkham City - £14.95
Dark Souls - £14.95 (but cheaper as part of the '2 for £25' recurring sale)
http://www.trueachievements.com/Grand-Theft-Auto-IV/ach....htm (Classics) - £12.95
L.A. Noire - £14.95 (but cheaper as part of the '2 for £25' recurring sale)
As usual, sister store Zavvi has matched some of those deals.

TheHut and Zavvi have a selection of fairly big hits at great prices, without having them in specific promotions.
Fallout: New Vegas (Ultimate Edition) - £14.95
TC's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier - £15.95
Mass Effect 3 - £19.95
Saints Row: The Third - £14.95
UFC Undisputed 3 - £14.95
The easiest way to find these deals is by searching for the game using the function from the retailer's homepage (each linked above).

Zavvi has overtaken the competition and grabbed the lead by having F1 2012 at £27.75. Furthermore, Sleeping Dogs is priced at £24.75.

Blockbuster near me got some good instore prices for brand new stuff. I got Alice: Madness Returns for £10, I was tempted by Max Payne 3 for £18 but I have got too much to play to buy it, seemed a good price regardless.
