This week's best deals: Red Dead Redemption, Gaming Desktops, Xbox One X bundles and more

Also, Metal Gear Solid 5 for under £6.50.

While I prepare to spend a worrying amount of time playing through the freshly released God of War, I've also been scouting around the various corners of the information superhighway in search of this week's set of the best gaming deals. Welcome back to another roundup of those very 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.

Even if you're not a notorious Metal Gear Solid series fan like me, it's almost impossible to ignore the praise that The Phantom Pain received at launch and continues to receive to this day. At the moment, you can see what all the fuss is about by grabbing a PC copy from Humble while it's discounted to £6.24 / $5.

Update: Boo, it looks like this one has finished now. Shame.
