Tesco have also got some live Nintendo codes at the moment, decent if you're buying some hardware.
TDX-KLYT is save £50 when you spend over £450
TDX-LYHL is save £35 when you spend over £350
TDX-RTJK is save £25 when you spend over £250

Some good digital prices around.

Runner 3 can be preordered from the South African eshop for £8.93 (!)

Hyper Sentinel is £3.04 on the Russian eshop

Immortal Redneck is £11.04 on the Russian eshop

Pretty sure everyone on this thread knows about this website, but if not, it's very worth checking before buying something online ... even if the switching country within the switch can be cumbersome ...

(UK) Argos is selling the limited edition of Octopath Traveller for £31.99: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/8153557

For comparison, Amazon is selling it for £95.99!

Ordered Octopath this morning. However Argos small print states price subject to change. One wonders if they'll honour price as must be a mistake (bet it changes Monday). Plus even if they do honour can they fufill demand. Been a message stating 100+ people looking at this item right now since last night, so it would seem people are on this like flies on cake. It's possible they'll honour at a loss, and take the hit taking the increase of people using and checking out their online service as more of a positive. I mean if they do honour who's not gonna keep checking their site regularly. And they did sell Xenoblade for £29.99 a while back, and not a sale, and the guys that ordered got it at that price. So hopefully the price is right and just a cool loss leader.

@Sakura7 To be honest I think they're unlikely to honour it, but I've pre-ordered anyway just in case they do.

@Dogorilla Was just going to post this! You beat me to it!
I'm almost certain they have to honour that price if you preorder.

I saw the Octopath deal yesterday but it was saying there was no stock for delivery to my area. But the post above prompted me to try again and now I've got an order placed.

LA NOIRE was discounted to £21.99 on Amazon UK. I ordered it. Not sure how long this deals lasts for.

@electrolite77 Wow, why are Russian eShop
Prices so low compared to U.K.? HYPER SENTINEL is £9.99 for me.

@Dogorilla good spot.

Also preordered now I await the 'we are sorry' email

@Lroy Economics. Average monthly salary in Russia is about $500 from a quick Google check.

Some games are more expensive in Russia than the UK. It just depends on the title. I completely missed Hyper Sentinel for £3.04 though,I just bought it last night from the Norwegian Eshop for £7.50 something. I was sure I checked the Russian store first and it cost more than that.

I have the standard edition of Octopath on pre-order with Smyths at £34.99. I'm tempted to cancel and re-order the Compendium Edn with Argos, but I don't actually want any of the extras and I really like the sleeve artwork on the standard edition. £31.99 for the Compendium Edn looks like a total bargain though. If only there was a soundtrack involved...
