Product: Animal Crossing – New Horizons game (Nintendo Switch)
Price: £39.99 (reduced from £49.99 for digital download)
Supplier: CDKeys
Rating: *****
This new game released on 20 March 2020 was a firm favourite with my son after he saw all the pre-release promos. He has been playing it for the last couple of days and he says it is very early days to review it properly. So I guess watch this space!
He has an SD card on his Switch which enables him to download games digitally. Given the current lock down situation with COVID-19 in the UK we thought it would be the best way to safely enjoy this game without unnecessarily involving packers, couriers etc delivering the physical product to our front door.
The Nintendo shop had this product priced at £49.99 but after doing a search on the web we were disappointed that most of the other suppliers (without naming any names) were charging this or more. However, after we were previously successful with the CDKeys website with his annual Nintendo Switch annual subscription we decided to explore this option to see if they were selling this title. To my surprise they were and £10 cheaper than anyone else but why did it not appear in a Google search?
I thought this was strange but was glad I had explored this option before relieving myself of £50 give or take a penny. I would urge you to do the same if you were thinking of spending some of your hard-earned cash (or your kid’s pocket money).
