From Nintendo just casually dropping the existence of the SNES Classic on us to Steam's Summer Sale continuing to rage on, it has been one long week. Yet there are still plenty of other offers from the past week, so let's go ahead and take a look at the very best deals that the past few days had to offer.

As usual, we've got deals that'll work in the UK, deals that'll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let's get started.

Apologies to the rest of the world, though, since the code will only work when buying from the UK or US.

This week's Xbox Live Deals with Gold offerings include the frantic, friendship-ruining arcade cooking game Overcooked for £6.40 / $8.50 as well as lofty adventure title Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter for £22.50 / $27.50. This also marks the fourth or fifth time I find myself posting about Overcooked and all but shouting 'buy this fantastic game', from what I can remember.

Here are some of the highlights of what's on offer:

If you happened to miss out on getting one of the fancy new SNES Classic Editions or last year's near-mythical NES Classic Edition, don't worry - you can take your Nintendo fandom to a whole new level instead. Play-Asia has stock of the Japan-only Nintendo Famicom Classic Edition which, as you may expect, is a tiny version of the Famicom, complete with wired-in controllers and a microphone built-in. It's also got its own set of classic games in there, too. It's currently up for around £79 / $85 at the time of writing.

UK Deals

This week, Amazon confirmed that its annual mid-year day of discounts, Prime Day, is set to take place on Tuesday 11th July. Well, technically it starts at 6pm July 10th, because Amazon apparently believes days are 30 hours long. Before all the madness with actual deals on products happens, though, the site is offering you the chance to save £20 on a year's Amazon Prime, bringing the cost of a membership down to £59. That offer is live now and expires July 3rd.

In case you missed the price drop kicking off last week, you can still pick up a Steam Link for its lowest ever price of £11.99 at GAME. This one is due to finish in the coming week or two and is obviously while stock lasts, so get in there while you can. The Steam Controller has also retained its reduced price for another week and GAME will give you free shipping on both of these, making them cheaper than buying direct through Steam.

In the UK, you can pick up either of this from GAME

Regarded by many as one of the best wireless mice available to buy right now, the Logitech MX Master wireless mouse is currently reduced to £47.99 at Amazon UK from its regular £80 price.

Hey, remember when Mafia 3 released last year and there were two straight weeks of fantastic glitch gifs? Good times. Anyway, for one reason or another, GAME is slashing the price of the big-box Mafia 3 Collector's Edition that came with the game's soundtrack on vinyl along with a bunch of other trinkets. It's down to £37.99 on all formats.

For a limited time, you can head over to eBay and pick up a massive 200GB MicroSD card for only £54. That's a SanDisk Ultra 200GB MicroSD card specifically, which works with Nintendo Switch consoles if you fancy expanding your storage there. For context, a 128GB MicroSD card normally costs around £45, so this is a whole lot more space for not that much more money.

This week, Currys is offering £20 off a selected range of Xbox One bundles, bringing most of them down to under £200 with free shipping. Most notably, you can pick up an Xbox One S 500GB with Forza Horizon 3 and an extra controller (in white, blue or red) for £199.99 using code XBOX20 at checkout.

Argos is offering some big discounts on a range of 4K TVs at the moment. One of those discounts is on this Philips 55-inch HDR-enabled 4K TV with Ambilight technology, bringing it down to £499 for a limited time. Better still, you can enter the code TVS10 at checkout to take another £50 off the cost.

US Deals

Green Man Gaming is offering a 10% discount on a wide range of PlayStation 4 games right now when you use the code 10OFFPS4 at checkout. Better still, the site is offering the same 10% discount on PSN Credit, meaning you can load up on credit on the cheap and buy digital games while they're in Sony's current PS Plus sale.

Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, this offer is only available in the US.

If you're the type of person who likes to wear your fandom quite literally on your sleeve, you can head over to Hot Topic's website this week while the company is taking 20% off a selected range of gaming-related merch. Everything from backpacks to hoodies is here, so if any of that sounds like your kind of thing, head on over and check it out.

Over at eBay, you can currently pick up $50 of Nintendo eShop credit for use with 3DS, Wii U or Switch for $45. Instant delivery, too, so you won't be waiting around for a card to show up in the mail.
