See the post from a few days back - 2TB is excessive for WiiU. That said, I'm thinking about getting a new 2TB drive for my PC and retiring my current one for the Wii U, that'd work.
Also got PS3 in my basket then removed it, £170 isn't much of a deal when Gamestation were selling the same thing for £120 a few days ago. Come on Amazon, you can do better.
WWE is alright for £25 I suppose, but you can apparently get it for around £21 at Tesco if you're buying more shopping online - I think you had to spend about £11 on shopping then WWE was £19, plus about 2 quid for delivery.

Might get the SSD. Don't wanna wait till bank transfer to paypal is complete, will pay with CC.
Yeah, same here. I've never successfully got a popular lightning deal in my basket before, so I'm pretty pleased I managed, even if it was on an item I didn't want.
If it was £150, it'd have made a nice gift for my cousins from my mother and me, but £170 is pushing it.
It's bundled with one, but yes.

It comes with a external power supply so you can plug it into the mains.
Edit: Just beaten by mclem
Thanks, I didn't see it in the product description.
I need one but usb-powered.

Why do people buy hard drives that require mains power?
Because hard drives which are USB powered are often a ridiculously low RPM and wear out ports quickly..
And because they have higher storage capacities.
Nope, no big shockers.
Motherfucker, I was answering the door just before the deal went live, and missed the SSD.
Really, it's not. £100 for a 256gb SSD is pretty good!
Welcome to Amazon lightning deals.
Ah thanks. I'm just curious to see if I find something decent for gifts or something. But If I manage to get something I don't want but GAFfers do I'll let you guys know so you can have it.
EDIT: Ah, seems I missed that Harry Potter Blu-ray collection. The lady would have loved this pack.

boring deals are boring :\
You should also see 'credit' to the tune of the lightning deal discount on the final page.
Oh, thanks, I see it. I panicked for a second, I didn't remember this from last year and I thought maybe ordering from outside the UK made me not eligible for the deal. :$

Missed it too. Has anyone got any opinions on the TV that's coming up at 1230?

Holy shit. I was going to buy that 2TB Seagate which went on lightning deal at 11:29 on Amazon. I was there at 11:30 and all 100% were claimed. That went incredibly fast. I was pretty shocked. Oh well.
Well the pound is pretty expensive compared to eur, i can get a samsung 830 256gb for like 10 euro's more (if you exchange the rates gbp-eur)

Got WWE for a xmas pressie but I can't help but think it'll drop even further before the holidays.
In the UK £100 for that SSD is pretty hard to beat - competitors are charging about £30-50 more than that deal. I was amazed how fast it went though; I clicked instantly and was still waitlisted.
£24.99 would be my guess.
That would be brilliant.

The supposed 'good' stuff in the previous years was listed with some obscure hint at what it could be. Doesn't look like it's going to be that way this year by the looks of it. They tend to list the few big deals they have towards the end of the week though, everything else will likely be recycled throughout the week since most claimed stuff will hardly sell.
It's a good offer but I was hoping they would at least match if not beat their own previous offer from last August (£26.97). The Heroes offer is good but considering how quickly it and especially a lot of other stuff sells out, it simply shows people buy anything at any price as long as it's part of a bigger sales special (Black Friday). Whether the offer is good becomes almost irrelevant when you have to be quick to catch a deal.
Darksiders 2 is already £20 in the shops around me so ya not holding my breath....

They'll probably have it again later in the week.

What a disappointing day of deals.
