These are the best UK pre-order prices I've found so far. Worth warning that Gameseek take full payment for pre-orders when the order is placed, not when the item is dispatched.

http://www.base.com
1-2-Switch - £33.85
Mario Kart 8 DX - £41.99
Super Bomberman R - £38.85
Puyo Puyo Tetris - £30.85
Super Mario Odyssey - £49.99
Lego City Undercover - £35.85

http://www.shopto.net/video-games/nintendo-switch/store
Steep - £42.85

http://www.365games.co.uk
ARMS - £41.99
Disgaea 5 - £38.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk
Zelda: Breath of the Wild - £48 (or £46 for Prime members)
1-2-Switch - £34 (or £32 for Prime members)
Mario Kart 8 DX - £42 (or £40 for Prime Members)

I have checked Amazon, Game, ShopTo, Base, Gameseek, 365games,TheGameCollection, Zavvi and TheHut. I will update this post as I find good deals.

Just saw that base.com has these prices at the moment:

Super Bomberman R - £38.85
Mario Kart 8 DX - £41.99
1-2-Switch - £32.85

Everything else seems to be £49.99 or thereabouts.

Prices are starting to look a little bit more sensible. Who was ever going to pay £50 for Bomberman in 2017?!

I have pre ordered Bomberman........

Switch games list,

Legend of Zelda BotW, Human resource machine, NBA Playgrounds, Street Fighter 2, Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, Overcooked, World of Goo.

Thanks, switched my Mario Kart 8 pre-order from ShopTo.

Hopefully we will see prices continue to drop down to match PS4/XB1 levels.

@BionicDodo Hope you don't mind, but I've edited the thread title for longer term use. Let's hope it is relevant in the coming months...

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

It's weird, I do kinda want to get 1 2 Switch simply because it's different and to try out the HD Rumble and the ideas they have for the JoyCons... but then, it's just too expensive for 20 one time play mini games.

I've got Bomberman pre-ordered through Amazon but may move over to Base.com if the price doesn't come down.

Got my Switch preordered with Tesco, had 10% discount on it as well. Haven't pre ordered any games yet as waiting to see what the prices are like, though I'll probably get Zelda from Tesco as again I'll get it with 10% off taking it down to £43.

But will def keep an eye on prices.

First post updated with a couple of other games and the best Pro Controller deal I can find.

Has anyone found any other (or better) UK deals that don't involve staff discounts etc?

Is gameseek trustworthy? I mean base.com I've used a lot and never had a single issue with, hence the initial post. Gameseek looks dodgy AF!!@jump

@G0dlike They get a trustpilot score of 7.9 but do seem to have a fair few complaints of bad customer service when damaged or incorrect items were delivered. I've never used them personally and left the other prices in for the games that were cheapest at Gameseek in case people wanted to avoid them.

I've used them before and they are fine. I'm even paying £39.72 for Zelda Switch with them as I'm using the purchase points I've gained from buying stuff from them before, I've even got a few pre-orders 2-3 days early with them.

@jump Their FAQ answer for why they take pre-order money up front is complete gibberish though, which I don't like.

"At the moment we do take payment in advance yes. We do this to deter thieves - basically if we can catch them before we ship the items, it helps the government and us greatly and also helps us the keep prices down for the genuine customers, ie you."

TBH considering their pre-order price of a Switch was less than £200 I don't mind paying them a month early for those sort of discounts.

@jump Yeah, think that one was a bit of a screw up on their part. I would have taken a punt with them for that price.

@G0dlike Only ever had one complaint with Gameseek and that was because they sent me a polish game.... Was quite amusing... Least I know what Lego Batman is in Polish now haha!

Will admit though there customer services was poor when I told them, didn't seem to care or was surprised. Will say they were quite quick with sending stuff out, and getting items delivered quick
