A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.

There's a whole new batch of the week's best gaming and tech deals to check out today, including one of the best ever prices on LG's masterpiece 4K OLED television at its lowest price yet. You've also got mere days to prepare before Yakuza Kiwami finally releases in the west this coming Tuesday, so get ready for that. I know I will, I need my Majima fix.

As for the deals, 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.
