Currys is discounting a 500GB SSD and throwing in Far Cry 5 for free

£134.99 for the lot.

Despite it being a particularly bad time to be building a gaming PC or upgrading an existing one (thanks, cryptocurrency), there's a slight glimmer of hope over at Currys PC World right now. There, you can save £20 on a 500GB SSD along with a copy of the recently released Far Cry 5.

The specific model of drive in question is a Samsung EVO 860 internal SSD with a capacity of 500GB, which usually costs around £155 and was recently discounted to £135. This week, buying one of these will also get you a digital (and thus, Uplay) copy of Far Cry 5 as well, so if you've hesitated on one of these previously, now's the time to pull the trigger.

If you'd like to learn a little more about Far Cry 5 before dropping some cash, you can read Edwin's review of the game here, or even watch Ian play through the first hour of the game via the video below.
