It’s another day of how low can you go on Amazon.co.uk, but it’s a pretty bad one for those of you searching for deals for Sony’s systems. There are a ton of Disney Infinity discounts set to go live from 16:30PM GMT, but arguably the most notable offer today revolves around Watch Dogs on the PlayStation 4. That’ll be up for grabs from 19:30PM GMT, with the price likely to dip to around £24.99 or lower.
We thought that Ubisoft’s hack happy escapade was pretty decent – even if it wasn’t quite the success story that many were anticipating prior to launch. “Watch Dogs isn't a hack job, but it isn't the next-gen revolution that many were expecting either,” a critical Robert Ramsey wrote in our review. “It's a game largely made up of mediocre bits and pieces, but is elevated far beyond the sum of its parts by its brilliantly dynamic sandbox and often gripping mission design.”

24.99? They had a sneak peak lightning deal at the weekend and it dropped to 18.99, could easily see it dropping that low again later today.
I'd be interested but from what I hear Watch Dogs is a GTA clone and I've already GTAV to play.
@Jonny Ah, my bad! Was just guessing really, will edit the wording in the article.
No problem, I can't expect other people to have nothing better to do than check Amazon for new deals.
They had a good Shadow of Mordor deal earlier that went down to 23.99 but any games I buy will go straight into my backlog I've a strict rule of not spending more than 20 quid for a game I'm not going to play "straight away".
Personally I'm hoping for a good Evil Within or Hyrule Warriors deal, as unlikely as either are.
@Jonny Yeah, I was lucky enough to get Mordor last night. They sold out really fast!
You can get a preowned copy of Watch_Dog at CEX for £15. It looks like it's been traded in a lot.
@Jonny Watchdogs is more than just a GTA clone, so is sleeping dogs, they just suffer from the obvious comparison of being city based sand box games...if being that is all it requires to be counted as GTA wannabes then I guess they can be counted as such, but I think it's unfair to everything else that went into them. If Watchdogs drops to a low enough price Id recommend giving it a shot...I really liked its murky tones and the feel of the world it presented.
@RawShark That's a good price...definitely worth a go at that price even if the game did fall below expectations.
@MunkyKnuts I may get around to it eventually but I never had high hopes for the game even before reviews came out (Ubi Soft don't have a habit of getting it right first time, see AC and FC) so it's not something I'm going to go out of my way to pick up, but if I ever get to the bottom of my to play backlog (as unlikely as it is) I could give it a shot.
It didn't really grab me to be honest. I played about four hours of it and then just ended up playing something else. It's absolutely solid in all areas, but I dunno - just seemed a bit bland to me.
@Jonny Watchdogs was the game I wanted a PS4 to play but I realised it was falling short when it got delayed...still enjoyed the imperfect end product tho. I have a huge backlog of games myself so I know how it is. I have games I bought as well as games from plus that I need to get around to. Just not enough time in my life to play them all...being a grown up just sucks lol.
Oh I know, I'm taking 3.5 weeks off during Christmas and my main aim during it is to tackle as much of my PS3 backlog as possible (Which as a ps+ subscriber is too big to list)
The price went up and down between £30 and £40 yesterday so didn't bother. Really want it for the WiiU but now the price is £43, I'll wait till its €10 or €15 next year instead.
But point is, watch these 'sales' for hike prices on games
