This 256GB Micro SD card costs just £15.67
Amazon Basics have produced some great computer gear in their history – memorably, once selling a full-size mechanical keyboard for £23 that I reviewed and found surprisingly good value for money. Today though, it’s something different: an Amazon Basics branded Micro SD card in a 256GB capacity, selling for just £15.67 rather than its UK RRP of £26.99.
Here’s what I’ve learned about the card, and why I reckon it’s worth picking up if you’re in need for a memory card for your Steam Deck, Switch or whatever.

This 512GB Integral Micro SD is just £42 right now and ideal for Steam Deck
Micro SD cards are getting increasingly affordable, with even high-capacity 512GB models breaching the £50 barrier. Today we’ve seen one better though, as this 51GB Integral Ultima Pro model has dropped to £42 at Amazon UK.
The Ryzen 7 5800X is down to £234 with a 64GB Micro SD card and Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is a good gaming CPU with better content creation performance than the more expensive 5800X3D – even though it’s slower than the X3D in gaming. Still, at its price point it hits a punch, and the boffins at HUKD have spotted a good deal for the 5800X at CCL. There, you can find the 5800X for £235 when you use code AFF15 with some nifty extras: a 64GB Micro SD card and a code for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves.
The way it works is pretty simple – you need to get your total basket over £250 for the AFF15 code to work. So, pick anything on the store that’s more than £5.51, like this Micro SD card, add it to your basket alongside the 5800X, then use the AFF15 code to bring the price down to the £235 we quoted. The game code will come with your order, no opt-in necessary, from what we understand.

Get a 1TB Micro SD card for your Steam Deck for just £110
The Steam Deck is a brilliant system, but its internal storage is limited – from anywhere from 64GB to 512GB depending on the model you chose. Thankfully, Micro SD cards are getting extremely affordable, even in massive sizes all the way up to 1TB. Smaller sizes like 256GB and 512GB are better value per gigabyte, but today in the UK there’s been a big discount on a 1TB Lexar Play Micro SD card that brings it into contention too.
The Lexar Play 1TB is now retailing for £110 at Amazon, compared to a usual price of £140. If you’d prefer something a little more high performance, the highly-rated SanDisk Extreme 1TB card is also on sale, dropping from £220 to £140.
