    I have been playing Zelda on Switch all morning, I can't possibly put into words how incredible it is to play on a handheld.

    people that are comparing to Xbox one & PS4 are missing point. this is a handheld with a tv dock.

    the power for a handheld is a game changer.

    absolutely love it.

    great price for this controller, ordered.

    In before the "lool this a rip off for a controller", "Nintendo Switch … In before the "lool this a rip off for a controller", "Nintendo Switch will fail" and "I hate Nintendo so this is a bad deal". It's the cheapest at the moment so voted hot.



    I'll never understand this. Something being the cheapest at the moment does not automatically make it a "hot deal" - which is what you are voting on. It just makes it a "cheapest at the moment deal"! Would people still be voting hot if it were £120 which might be the cheapest price you could get it? Of course not.

    not sure why people are voting cold so far.

    It is the cheapest price for this i have seen so far, so i have voted it hot.

    It's a warm deal really. I'm glad that some people do give these heat because I often search this site to find the best price for things. But it would get ridiculous if these "deals" all went super hot.

    Ouch...The Switch is a bloody expensive prospect isnt it!



    No it's the 4th cheapest console of all time. People seem to think these companies are charities and shouldn't apply inflation.

    Good price, normally £65

    also that was yesterday. if you didn't buy it then this is the cheapest you can actually buy now, unless you can point me somewhere else?

    It depends, if it's the cheapest but too expensive for my budget then I wouldn't vote. This is HotUkDeals and not HotUKReviews.

    Agreed. Personally, I think XboxOne/PS4 controllers are hot at around £30+ or so. This controller's got a bit more inside it, so I'd say around the £40 mark would make it a good deal. This is just a shade under a quite pricey RRP, so for me, not a particularly "hot" deal.

    ​Yeah, £55 at Game so exactly the same price. It's actually pretty impressive given the way the pound has dropped since 2013. But people have short memories for this sort of thing.

    That's obscene for a controller


    The RRP of the PS4 controller was £54.99 at launch.
    The RRP of an Xbox One wireless controller was £59.99 at launch.

    Too expensive for all 3 really...but the price for this really isn't out of the ordinary for launch day (especially considering the additional costs of HD rumble/a NFC reader being built-in).

    I agree... once you get your head around the fact that this is a HANDHELD console with a dock, and ignore the "ooh, it's not as powerful as ps4/xbone etc blah blah" nonsense you realise how brilliant this (handheld) game console is! LOVE IT.

    That huge super bright and sharp handheld screen, playing Zelda, on the bog. Priceless moments

    i think this will be its saving grace, if it was a standalone console it wouldn't hold against microsoft or sony, however because it is no effectively an extremely powerful handheld console, it should sell like hot cakes

    Ill never understand your lack of understanding - something being the cheapest its available for is by definition a hot (uk) deal. Your "illustration" is stupid, its not £120, its £54.99 for a product on sale everywhere else for £59.99

    Nice review



    Well... you've got to take into account the quality of the item! Again, if 50% of users are conplaining of faults, bad connectivity etc. then even if it were being sold at £20 and the cheapest by miles, I'd not vote hot. Because to me it still wouldn't be a hot deal!

    You just register again and type the 5 letter code - to get £30 off - very very easy to do. About a good a deal as I have seen on here and I had nothing to do with it.

    "Used" versions are available for £5 less (£49.99) - that may be a worthwhile option, given that these can't possibly be pre-used at this point!

    Plus, that was for new customers only - and Very tend to be pretty good at spotting duplicate accounts.

    voted cold, the switch is designed to be portable, so why would you want to carry around an extra controller
