The Hobbit: Deluxe Illustrated Edition Preorders Now Live
This new edition of The Hobbit follows similar editions of Tolkien’s other books featuring the author’s hand-drawn maps and artwork. Unique to this edition are two poster-size, fold-out maps revealing all the detail of Thror’s Map and Wilderland, an illustrated 88-page booklet, and a printed art card reproducing Tolkien’s original dustjacket painting. It’s also quarterbound in green leather, with raised ribs on the spine, stamped in three foils on black cloth boards, and housed in a custom-built clothbound slipcase. The pages are edged in gold and include a ribbon marker.
The Hobbit is the latest in line to get the illustrated treatment. There’s The Lord of the Rings Illustrated, which came out in 2021, and The Silmarillion Illustrated, which arrived last autumn. The Hobbit Illustrated will feature a forward by Christopher Tolkien, with additional notes from Tolkien scholars Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull.
Great New Deals: T-Shirts, Runnings Shoes, and More
Behold – more deals! From one of the most popular AirFryers in the UK down to just £169 to some awesome Under Armour shirts from just £16.50, the feel-good factor is real with these discounts.
Where to Preorder Starfield Xbox Controller and Headset
We’re also getting limited edition accessories such as the Starfield themed Xbox controller and headset. Both of these are up for preorder from either Microsoft or GAME. Microsoft has free delivery, while GAME will charge £5. We’re keeping an eye out for more retailer listings as well such as Amazon.
Where to Preorder Starfield Constellation Edition
Starfield Constellation Edition preorders are now live for those in the UK. It can be preordered only from GAME as an exclusive to the retailer, so you’ll also have to pay a £5 delivery fee on top of the £249.99 for the new collector’s edition. Starfield is set for release on September 6, but with the special edition granting you access up to 5 days early, you’re likely to receive this on September 1 instead.
Starfield: How to Play 5 Days Early
Bethesda is granting early access to the game for those who buy the Premium Edition (£100) or Constellation Edition (£250), but that’s not the only way to access it. For £34.99 you can buy the Premium Upgrade and still play the game on September 1.
This is available in digital or physical form, but those preordering the physical edition will also be treated to the Starfield Steelbook display case. If you’re buying digital and have Game Pass, it’s a tiny bit cheaper as you can pick it up for £31.49 instead! Starfield is also £10 off at ShopTo right now, down to just £59.85 when you preorder.

There’s free next-day delivery with Amazon as well for those with Prime.
Best Deals on PS5 SSDs
If you haven’t gotten around to expanding your PS5 storage just yet, then you’re in luck, as this is an excellent price on the highly recommended Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 2TB. Down to £124.99, this is IGN’s top rated PS5 SSD, and you’re getting it at an exceptional price!
