Many tracks are available from as little as 59p which makes them pretty cheap. Many full albums are £3 which is also damn cheap. Amazon have a download widget which will download the tracks straight to WMP or iTunes. The best thing is that tracks are provided without any form of DRM. Which is good!

If you want to check them out, check this Linky

However you need to do some things in order to get the reduction.

Click here to go to Amazon and then during the checkout process enter the promotional code LOWERVAT to get your discount

Whilst the promotion code will no longer work, that is because the new VAT rate has come into effect. So click the link to amazon and benefit from the new cheaper prices!

This will let any random passers by buy me (or Stuart or Alex) anything that I’ve marked on my amazon wish list and have it sent directly here.

So go on buy us something. You know you want to!! Especially if your someone feeling guilty about forgetting Stuart’s birthday. We wont mention any names. We don’t need to!

Don’t want to buy me stuff but after some ideas on what to buy other people. Check out the following carousels

And whilst it is a very good suite there is one major problem.

It is as buggy as hell and keeps causing our PC to Blue Screen of Death. Which is a bit pants.

So it’s been removed today (and amazon have been e-mailed asking for a refund as the software was not fit for purpose under the Sales of Goods Act)!
