This week's best deals: QuakeCon sale, gaming laptops, GeForce 1080 and more
Plus: a giant book filled with Metal Gear Solid artwork.
We've reached another weekend and so there's another batch of this week's best gaming deals to check out, right here and now. While all I really want to do is lose myself entirely inside the new PC release of Monster Hunter World, there are definitely things that might raise an eyebrow in this week's selection.
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.
Giveaway!
It's time once more to offer up the chance for you folks to get your hands on some free games.

Entry closes at 23:59:59 on Monday, 13th August, so get your entries in while you can.

Humble is having itself a QuakeCon sale to celebrate, well, QuakeCon, shockingly enough. Until Monday, you can get yourself up to 75 per cent off a range of Bethesda titles - including Quake Champions itself for under £14 / $18.

It's hard to argue with a digital bundle that not only pairs two of the best first-person shooters of recent years, but offers them to you at a price that's cheaper than buying one of the titles individually. Get Doom and Wolfenstein 2 for under £19 / $27 right now, via Xbox Live.

UK Deals
Given the release of the Switch and all that mania that has ensued, you'd be forgiven for overlooking the 3DS-exclusive remake of Metroid 2 that was Metroid: Samus Returns when it originally launched. If you happened to sleep on a purchase, though, you can grab a copy right now for only £23.

This weekend, Insert Coin is offering up the chance to bag six randomly selected T-shirts from the site for the discounted price of £50. The 'Season Pass Tee Box' is only available for the next couple of days and the shirts normally sell for well above the less-than-£10 price point you'll be getting them for. Worth a gander if you need some new threads.

Remember the dice that showed up in The Last Jedi and then Solo, months later?

US Deals
