Zumba Fitness Xbox 360 Kinect £19.99 @ The Hut eBay Outlet

Zumba Fitness Xbox 360 Kinect £19.99 @ The Hut eBay Outlet

The Zumba Fitness game for the Xbox 360 is very popular and at one point you couldn’t get a copy for love or money. However, the game didn’t get great reviews if I am honest so it was a lot of hype for something not quite there. Still, paying £19.99 for a game that usually costs £39.99 is a good deal.

The Zumba Fitness DVD pairs the red hot international dance steps with sexy Latin music to create a fun and ultra fitness party on your console. You follow along as your Zumba instructor guide you through routines that will have you burning fat while having fun.

The instructors are fan favourites Tanya and Gina with the creator of Zumba, Beto, and they will show you more than 30 different routines as you go. You can learn in nine different dance styles too: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso.

Night At The Museum 1 And 2 on DVD £4.99 @ Play

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 22 December, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Night At The Museum 1 And 2 on DVD £4.99 @ PlayIf you're looking for something for the kids to watch that's fun, easy and will make them chuckle then you might want to take a look at this two disc Night at the Museum 1 and 2 DVD collection.

I don't think I've seen all of Night at the Museum and I've only seen a couple of minutes of Night at the Museum 2 however, I am reliably informed by my 16-year-old teenage daughter that both films are very funny and will definitely be a big hit with younger children.

I do know the basic plot line behind the movies though - Ben Stiller is a night security guard at a museum and when all the lights go out all the exhibits come to life and start causing chaos, which he has to clear up an sort out before the museum opens again in the morning.

From the brief bits I've seen it does look rather amusing and has that magical 'things coming to life that really shouldn't' element to it, and you won't go far wrong with the price for these two movies either as Play are selling the pair of them for £4.99.

If you're really pushed for presents and are prepared to throw delivery cost caution to the wind then you could still get these Night at the Museum movies delivered to  you before Christmas, but you're going to have to order them today.

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Blu Ray DVD £12.99 @ Play

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 21 December, 2011 at 9:00 am

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Blu Ray DVD £12.99 @ PlayIf you're really stuck for a last minute Christmas present then this Lord of the Rings trilogy box set on Blu ray DVD may just get you out of a hole, it's only going to cost you £12.99 but you are going to have to pay for delivery if you want it delivered by Saturday in time to be wrapped up.

Is it just me who thinks that £12.99 for six Blu ray DVD discs is incredibly cheap? Whatever happened to Blu ray discs being much more expensive than standard DVDs?  Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all, it just seems they've got much cheaper all of a sudden and that can only be a good thing.

I've got the three Lord of the Rings movies on standard DVD already but for this price I may just have to replace/upgrade to the Blu ray versions - if you haven't watched anything on Blu ray and have an HD TV then you're really missing out.

If you haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies then you've also been missing out, they are absolutely EPIC and will absolutely blow you away and leave you wanting more - which is okay as we have The Hobbit to look forward to soon.

Thomas And Friends Classic Collection Series 1-11 Box Set £20.95 @ The Hut

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 20 December, 2011 at 3:00 pm

Thomas And Friends Classic Collection Series 1-11 Box Set £20.95 @ The Hut

I was sent the info for this ace Thomas and Friends classic collection box set by Ling who found it on sale at both The Hut and Zavvi for this great price of only £20.95. Usually the entire set costs around £30 so you’re saving a tidy £9.99 on this.

The Thomas and Friends DVD box set is the 65th anniversary edition and originally went on sale for around £15. The price has gone up by a lot here but this is still a good deal considering the individual DVDs for each season tend to cost around £3-£4 each. That is quite a saving off going out and collecting the entire series one by one. And less effort…

Ling mentions that the presentation box is pretty but a bit of a letdown in terms of the physical content. She reckons 50% of the box and individual DVDs of each season are the thinnest DVD coverlets you can get. However, there are still several hundred hours of Thomas content for a great price and free delivery.

Harry Potter 8 Disc Complete DVD boxset £25.50 @ Amazon

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 13 December, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Harry Potter 8 Disc Complete DVD boxset £25.50 @ Amazon

Fancy nabbing the entire Harry Potter collection this Christmas? Amazon is selling every single one of the fab movies in one box set for only £25.50 which is a pretty good price for eight films I think. And, of course, they come with free delivery.

The eight Harry Potter movies are packed together inside one simple box. These are not the fancy and really expensive special edition DVDs here, just the eight original movies put together in one. For those of you who have been waiting for the final films before collecting the series, this is finally your moment.

This ace Harry Potter box set will make someone very happy this Christmas, especially if they are huge fans of the series. I was pretty gutted when they ended this year, it seems like the end of an era really. I also wasn’t that impressed with the finale. What did you think?

The Sopranos Complete Seasons 1 - 6 £40.99 @ DVD.co.uk

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 10 December, 2011 at 1:00 pm

The Sopranos Complete Seasons 1 - 6 £40.99 @ DVD.co.ukI think I must be one of the few people on the planet who has never watched The Sopranos - not one single episode; someone once told me this was more criminal than some of the things the Soprano family get up to and that I should remedy the situation immediately.

Perhaps I should take advantage of this The Sopranos Complete Seasons 1 - 6 deal with dvd.co.uk for £40.99, rather than £127.99.

So I think there is a Joey Soprano...? I really have no clue...

...sorry, TONY Soprano (I did some quick research) and he's the head of a Mafia family who's trying to juggle family life with being the boss of a lot of dodgy Italian criminals.  It really doesn't sound like my sort of thing but, apparently, it's pretty much everyone's cup of tea who watches it.

Eighty six episodes make up The Sopranos Complete Season 1 - 6 - that's rather a lot of viewing time and would keep me out of trouble for a fair while! I'm tempted, I have to say, but I'm not sure if I can stand 86 hours of 'bada bing' speak; however, if you know someone who IS a Sopranos fan then buying them this box set could earn you some serious brownie points.

It's in stock and dvd.co.uk usually despatch within 24 hours, there's nothing else to pay either as the £40.99 includes delivery.

Shrek Forever After - DVD and Blu Ray £8.39 @ Zavvi

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 10 December, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Shrek Forever After - DVD and Blu Ray £8.39 @ ZavviYou can bag yourself a copy of Shrek Forever After on both normal DVD and Blu ray for just £8.39 if you pop over to Zavvi.

There aren't many film franchises that have an original, sequel and sequels after that that I haven't seen all of, but I have to confess I rather lost interest in Shrek after the second one.

I don't know what it is that's turned me off them because I thought the second movie was just as good, if not better, than the first one; perhaps I just haven't been in the right place at the right time to watch it.

I can reliably inform you though, based on what others have said, that it's well worth watching and if you like owning complete sets of movies then it's well worth adding to your Shrek collection too.

Two discs, one standard and one Blu ray, for just £8.39 is a bit of a bargain if you ask me, especially when you consider the full price should be £27.99 - it could mean one copy for the kids to put their finger prints on and one to keep for the HD TV and out of harms way.

There's no delivery to pay with Zavvi and, if they sell out, The Hut are also running this deal too.

Mr Bean: Bean’s Brilliant Box Set Series 1-4 £6.99 @ Play

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 6 December, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Mr Bean: Bean’s Brilliant Box Set Series 1-4 £6.99 @ Play

This is just a fab deal. I still love Mr Bean and my daughter has suddenly gone all Mr Bean mad so this is a brilliant buy for both of us. Here you get seasons 1-4 of the famous series for a mere £6.99 including free delivery from Play. Bargain.

Hee hee hee. Even thinking about some of the episodes makes me giggle. Like the one where he refused to pay his car’s parking and raced out the barrier, or the one where he brushed his teeth in the car. Genius.

Here you can relive all of your favourite episodes across four hilarious DVDs that have been digitally remastered for the first time. This Mr Bean box set contains all 14 of the original episodes, two sketches that were never seen on television and a behind the scenes look at the story of Bean from the creators of the series.

Wallace And Gromit Complete Collection £4.99 @ Tesco Entertainment

Wallace And Gromit Complete Collection £4.99 @ Tesco Entertainment

The Wallace & Gromit complete collection is down to £4.99 at Tesco Entertainment and this includes free UK delivery. The set has all of the famous Wallace & Gromit tales included and would make an utterly awesome Christmas stocking filler.

The Wallace & Gromit collector’s set has four Wallace and Gromit tales to mark the 20th anniversary of their creation. You get a Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave and A Matter of Loaf and Death.

I absolutely love these movies, mini shows, and wish that there had been more of them to watch. I think that these are among the finest forms of cartoon-style show around and have totally snapped this set up to enjoy this Christmas.

Actually, I’ve bought it to sneak into my husband’s stocking but will obviously hijack it to watch myself on Christmas Day. A great price for this collection from Tesco and especially tasty with the free delivery.

Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection £11.99 @ IWantOneOfThose

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 1 December, 2011 at 10:00 am

Mr Men And Little Miss DVD Collection £11.99 @ IWantOneOfThoseIf you have Mr Men and Little Miss fans in your household then you might want to take a peek at this Mr Men and Little Miss DVD collection over at I Want One Of Those.

LOVED LOVE the Mr Men!

I had various Mr Men books when I was little (I never had any Little Miss ones) and my most favourite was Mr Forgetful; I still like reading his story now – it’s like visiting an old friend for tea or putting your most comfy pair of slippers on.

“Farmer Giles, there’s a goose asleep in the lane!” Poooor Mr Forgetful.

I also had Mr Bump and Mr Jelly too - I loved it when my mum read them to me at bedtime.  My youngest son has Little Miss Star, he thinks SHE'S great and is an oft' requested bedtime story.

This Mr Men and Little Miss DVD collection is made up of four discs featuring the episodes from the original TV series back in the 70s and 80s; hurrah!

If you grew up with the original Mr Men shows you'll love this, chances are your kids will too.  The four discs come in special collectors edition metal presentation tin and usually sells for £24.99.

IWOOT are selling the Mr Men and Little Miss DVD collection for £11.99 instead - how very generous of them. There's no delivery to pay on UK orders either so all in all everything is pretty rosy with this deal

Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas DVD £2.72 @ Amazon

by Sarah Macdonald in Deals on 1 December, 2011 at 9:00 am

Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas DVD £2.72 @ AmazonI remember when all DVDs cost at least £10 and any priced that 'low' were rare finds indeed; this Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas DVD is not only £2.72, it's fabulous too, I've seen it more times than I've had Christmas dinners!

There are a few things that used to happen every year in my household

  • The Christmas tree would be put up on 1 December (this still happens)
  • My eldest son used to watch a Thomas Christmas video (no DVD back in those days!)
  • We all used to watch Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas

When all of those things had happened, you knew that Christmas was well and truly on its way.  Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas was what really made it feel Christmassy for me - it features everyone's favourite Disney characters: Mickey and Minnie, Donald and Daisy Duck along with Goofy and his nephew.

Kelsey Grammar narrates and if you're looking for something festive to keep the little ones entertained then you really won't go wrong with this Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas DVD - I might even have to buy it, for nostalgic purposes you understand!

Grey’s Anatomy Seasons 1-6 DVD Box Set £49.95 @ Zavvi

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 29 November, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Grey’s Anatomy Seasons 1-6 DVD Box Set £49.95 @ Zavvi

Now this is a spectacular Christmas gift for a mum who loves her medical dramas. I really like this show and who doesn’t fancy McDreamy I ask you? Anyway, £49.95 for six seasons of Grey’s Anatomy is really good and I am definitely taking advantage of this deal.

The box set includes all the episodes from the first six seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. This is something of a delight for me as I can’t remember where I watched up to and I keep seeing the ads on TV and going, “Oh! I must catch up!”.

Another delightful thing about the Zavvi Grey’s Anatomy deals is that it is free delivery and that you are saving £47.04 on the original price. This is still on preorder and for it to be so heavily reduced before it has even hit the shelves, well, that’s impressive.

While paying nearly £50 at once can seem somewhat hefty, you have several months worth of TV to enjoy here at a fraction of the usual price. It would make someone an ace Christmas gift.

3rd & Bird A Very Squooky Christmas 99p @ Bee.com

by Lynley Oram in Deals on 27 November, 2011 at 9:00 am

3rd & Bird A Very Squooky Christmas 99p @ Bee.com3rd & Bird is a very lovely little program on Cbeebies, It is a sort of animated show with lots of singing. I can't really describe it better than that! It was popular with me at least when my son was younger as one of the birds is a kiwi. See, that's what a kiwi is - a bird not a fruit! This 3rd & Bird A Very Squooky Christmas is 99p including delivery at Bee.com

What a great stocking filler this will be. There were plenty in stock when I checked, but I'd guess they'll see out fast. There are other titles on there in the same price range and some have already gone out of stock.

Delivery is free across the site, and there are gifts on there for grownups with prices starting at £1.49.

With this DVD you get a double-length Christmas-themed episode. It also contains eight  episodes:

  • A Very Squooky Christmas
  • Ice Skating
  • Samuel’s Dance
  • Starry Night
  • The Amazing Muffin
  • Mariachi Muffin
  • Elliot the Budgie
  • Down To Earth

Special features on the DVD include Mr Beakman does the ‘Toucan Twist’, Birds and Trains exclusive video clip, and Listen to 3rd & Bird - an Audiobooks clip.

X-Men Quadrilogy £9.99 @ Play.com

by Tamsin Oxford in Deals on 21 November, 2011 at 4:00 pm

X-Men Quadrilogy £9.99 @ Play.com

We have had this bundle on PlayPennies for much cheaper before but, as we approach Christmas, this is the best deal going. Play has marked this entire bundle of X-men movies down to only £9.99 including free delivery.

The box set includes X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins-Wolverine. It doesn’t have the latest X-Men movie included which is a bit of a bummer as that one is really a vast improvement on the rubbish they made for X-Men: The Last Stand.

Each movie introduces new characters and follows the adventures of the mutants cared for by Professor X and has them see many losses and wins in the face of their battles with both humanity and each other. The movies are excellent escapist fun and would make a fab Christmas gift for an X-Men fan.

My personal favourites are the first X-Men movie, X-Men Origins – Wolverine, and the last movie X-Men First Class. The latter is surprisingly good!

Merry Madagascar/Penguins Of Madagascar Xmas Caper £4.99 @ HMV

HMV is selling a double DVD with Merry Madagascar and Penguins of Madagascar Xmas Caper for £4.99 including free delivery. This is a nice saving for two lovely Christmas themed DVDs to bring some of that festive cheer to life.

The two DVDs have those adorably insane penguins from Madagascar involved in some bizarre Christmas capers and will utterly enchant the little ones in your home. Actually, those penguins are so funny even you will probably enjoy the two movies.

In the first movie, Santa and his reindeer crash onto the island of Madagascar and it’s up to those whacky penguins to save Christmas. In Penguins of Madagascar Christmas Caper there are a bunch of episodes from the classic TV show. So not a second movie then, but rather a series of shorts.

These would make lovely stocking fillers but as dispatch is one to two weeks it is best you nab them now, just in case…

You also get extras such as Mr Beakman does the Toucan Twist, Birds and Trains exclusive video clip and an audio books clip as well.

The set will fit neatly into a Christmas stocking or under the tree and would also make a lovely Christmas gift for a niece, nephew or grandchild that sits in the target age group. While not a show that captured our attention, I know many people who love it.

The 3rd and Bird Christmas DVD is a cute little buy for the Christmas roundup.

Barbie Christmas Box Set £8.69 @ Amazon

This Barbie Christmas box set is down to £8.69 on Amazon including free delivery and has three of the Barbie movies for little fans to enjoy. While I think the animation for the Barbie movies is a bit odd, my daughter loves these movies so this will make an ace stocking filler.

There isn’t a lot of information on the DVDs themselves but the movies included on the Christmas Barbie boxset are Barbie Nutcracker, Barbie A Christmas Carol and Barbie Swan Lake. The movies are sticky sweet and icky nice with lots of kindness and sharing, definitely a good way to get into the Christmas spirit!

I am a huge fan of Christmas. I love the tinsel and the food, the fun and the presents, the shopping and the madness. I’ve already started putting up my Christmas decorations which has made other people nervous but my daughter very happy indeed.

So, here is a nice stocking filler or Christmas gift under the tree that your Barbie fans will love.

Sesame Street Old School Series 1 and 2 DVD £14.99 @ Readers Digest

Sesame Street Old School Series 1 and 2 DVD £14.99 @ Readers DigestOh my goodness! HOW much did I love Sesame Street when I was a little girl?  Only LOADS! Is it okay to buy yourself your own Christmas presents early? Actually, I don't care whether it is or not, this Seasame Street Old School Series 1 and 2 DVD set, for £14.99, is already in the virtual basket and I'll be checking out just as soon as I'm done with this post.

It's funny, I remember being irritated by the voices of the kids on Sesame Street and Big Bird wasn't one of my favourites at all, but I tuned in every week all the same.  I was waiting to see the Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch - he was the miserable one who lived in the 'trash can', remember? - those two were my absolute favourites; I adored them.

Six discs make up this Sesame Street Old School Series 1 and 2 DVD set and feature Big Bird (of course) and the Cookie Monster (hurrah!) and all the other Sesame Street gang.  Using a mixture of stories, games and cartoons, letters and numbers are become fun and easy to remember for little kids.

11% Off Top 11 Gadgets And Gifts @ Play.com

This is such a funny, silly and yet clever idea that I couldn’t resist posting it really. Play.com sent me an email today telling me that they are having an 11 hot deals day that will be taking place today, the 11th of the 11th month in 2011. Possibly a lucky day? Who knows!

The deals on offer for the 11% off all gadgets and gifts are only valid until midnight tonight, so it is probably best you pootle on over there if this is of interest to you. The code you need is ELEVENDOTD in order to swipe that 11% off the gifts and gadgets. Wahoo.

You get 11% off bestselling DVDs, blu-rays, box sets, games, albums t-shirts, sportswear and more. I have already eyeballed some items and compared their prices to others of their calibre online and the discount is pulling Play down further than many of the others.

This is a good deal for possibly nabbing yourself a Christmas boxset or DVD filler or three.
