With Christmas now a mere 50 or so days away many of the online retailers are starting to pull out the stops to get everyone buying early. By offering Deals of the Day and Deals of the Week they’re hoping you’ll purchase the current offer and perhaps one or two other items as well. What we suggest is you keep an eye on the deals and buy just that item (if free delivery is an option), just in case you can save money on other items later in the month!

After last year’s success Play.com are back with their Deal of the Day. Remember last year they had Lightsabers at a third of the usual price? Well, they’re doing a similar thing again. The item changes every weekday and we think once at the weekend. However, you can keep an eye on today’s offer (hopefully) with the link below!

On top of the Deal of the Day you’ll also find Deals of the Week too. These aren’t as good as the Deal of the Day in our opinion, simply because the items aren’t “current”, however you may well find a hot offer or two in this promotion.

Also running a Deal of the Week are HMV. They have discounts on some of the last CDs, DVDs and games including:

1. Sex and the City – £9.99.
2. Pink, Funhouse – £7.99.
3. Quantum of Solace on the PS3 or Xbox 360 – £37.99.
4. Lego Indiana Jones for PS2 or PSP – £14.99
