Zavvi.com & TheHut.com are not the same company.
Zavvi Limited (Zavvi.com) is a wholly owned subsidiary of parent company, The Hut Group.
The Hut.com Limited (TheHut.com) is a wholly owned subsidiary of parent company, The Hut Group.

CDs, DVDs and games come from same warehouse, there is no link between the website and warehouse which often causes ordering delays, why pricing is different between the two websites on many occasions beats me...I suspect because people don't always shop around and the odd extra pound to Hut group is a major part of their business structure

I'm aware of the group's structure. Given that the vast majority of items on both sites are identically priced, however, it's fair to treat them as the same company and is silly to post deals on each separately. If one site has a different price to the other it's most likely because one of them just hasn't been updated yet or there's been a mistake.
If you think posting those (and other Hut Group company) deals separately is okay think it through to other companies. It's bad enough when the Game and Gamestation deals are duplicated (though that's not happening as often these days, of course), and all the Currys and PC World deals (again, not so bad now, as the subsidiaries are merged). Should all the Shop Direct company offers be posted repeatedly? Find something cheap (probably using some dodgy "new customer" code), then make a load of different posts showing you've found the offer on Littlewoods, Very, Marshall Ward, Woolworths, Empire Direct, et al?
Let's not encourage it to become more widespread.
Otherwise you're inviting people to look out for Zavvi/Hut/Iwoot deals posted here, to then look for them on the sister sites, and post them here as separate deals they've found themselves. Not the end of the world, of course, but it's messy and quite ridiculous.
...and, hence, why the "Deals" for the separate entities should remain separate.
Different weekly offers, or different voucher code schemes, or even different cashback percentages for the entities should warrant separate "Deal" thread listings.
However, you can collate all subsidiaries into one & add them as "The Hut Group" to the "Do not buy from these merchants" list...
