Amazon Prime Day 2016: UK deals you need to know about
Are you ready for more stuff you don't need?
It's July 12th. For many, it's just another Tuesday, but for Amazon, it's another chance to sell millions of customers gadgets, homeware and lots of other stuff they don't need. Yes, it's "Prime Day," a marketing gimmick where Amazon discounts thousands of products for Prime subscribers. To keep on top of things, you'd normally have to track shopping websites or keep an eye on social media, but we want to help. We've listed a number of all-day deals that we think are worth keeping an eye on, but act quick, other deals on the site will only be available for a couple of hours at the most.
Fire Tablet - £35 (normally £50): We've put Amazon's diminutive tablet through its paces and even at £50 we'd consider taking the plunge. You'll save £15 if you decide to buy today.
Fire TV Stick - £20 (normally £35): Amazon's high-definition streaming stick supports Prime Video, Netflix and a whole host of other apps. If you need a streamer for your spare TV, you can't go wrong with this.
Amazon Fire TV 4K - £55 (normally £80): If you've already got a 4K TV and are looking for Ultra HD content to watch, the 4K Fire TV can help. It also supports voice search and play games with its smart remote.
Kindle Paperwhite - £80 (normally £110): With its improved high-resolution 300ppi display, the Paperwhite is the Rolls Royce of Kindles. With a bigger discount than Black Friday, now might be the time to pick one up.
Lenovo N22 11.6-Inch Chromebook - £100 (normally £160): It's not an Amazon sale without a cheap laptop, and this year it's a Chromebook that is getting the discount treatment. The Lenovo N22 comes with an HD display, Intel Celeron N3060 processor, 2 GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage.
Surface Pro 4 Bundle - £750 (normally £944): Microsoft's 2-in-1 is also seeing some decent discounts today. The Pro 4 bundles with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD and a range of coloured Type keyboards have been reduced by almost £200 today.
Xbox One 500GB Bundle: Amazon has a number of Xbox One deals on today. First is the standard Kinect bundle for £210, then there's the Kinect Bundle plus Overwatch for £230. However, if you want Guitar Hero, that'll cost you £235. Finally, there's the Kinect Bundle, Forza 6 and a extra controller deal for £246.
PlayStation 4 500GB Bundle: There aren't as many deals for the PS4, but Amazon is putting on an Uncharted 4 bundle that costs £240 and will save you quite a bit of cash. If you want Uncharted 4 on its own, that too is discounted and will set you back £32 for today only.
Microsoft Band 2 - £129 (normally £200): Microsoft's fitness tracker is enjoying another big sale.
Nvidia Shield 16GB - £100 / 500GB - £170: Both boxes are £50 off today (and still come with a free controller).
12 Months of Xbox Live plus £10 credit - £31.49 (normally £40): To get the most out of your Xbox One, you'll need a subscription to Xbox Live. This deal will see you right for a full year and give you some extra cash to spend on games or DLC.
SanDisk SDSSDHII-480G-G25 Ultra II SSD - £77 (normally £95): If you're looking for a way to speed up your PC (or even Mac), Sandisk's Ultra II SSDs will definitely help things zip along.
