Some prices have chanced but they're still fantastic. Updated.

Well, they're not that fantastic. PSN for a year is regularly £33, Black Flag has been a quid or two on Xbone for years, it's easy to grab a year's Gold XBL for £2X...

By the way, you say you spotted these on HUKD, but the affiliate code in your links doesn't match theirs. Is it your own affiliate account?

This is handy, thank you for taking the time to share. Been looking for some bargains.

I think all these can be had cheaper elsewhere. I think Tony_Danger is trying to get people to overpay for products so that they collect on the affiliate monies, which (if true) isn't very nice.

For example, it took me a few seconds of Googling to find 12 months of Xbox Live Gold for under £30 and 12 months of PS+ for £33 - in both cases, Tony_Danger wants you to pay an extra 10%. Bizarrely, £30 and £33 respectively are quite expensive considering the bargains we've had so far this year - it's odd to see someone take today's slightly higher prices, whack an extra 10% on, and describe that as "fantastic". :eek:

The games... well, Shadow of Mordor GOTY was £4 from Nuuvem a few weeks ago. Nuuvem is an official, authorised reseller, while CDKeys are not - if you're happy to use CDKeys, then G2A (also not authorised - more akin to eBay) have Mordor for under £5.

That does look like the cheapest pre-order for Doom today - but for most PC games, we tend to see a £20 pre-order before release - even big games like GTAV and Fallout 4. Besides, a pre-order is an unknown quantity - £25 for what may be a terrible game? Why risk it?

If you're genuinely interested in some actual gaming bargains, I do tend to keep up with this stuff - I could put together a weekly bargain summary post for you here each week? It really would only take me a few seconds, and I'll be clear about which sites are authorised (like Amazon, etc) and which sites may be a bit dodgy (like CDKeys, etc).

Ah well this may be more a sign of my naivety more than anything else. I rarely treat myself to a game purely because of the cost. I'd probably be more inclined to do so when games are much cheaper.
