Woot, the Amazon-owned deals retailer, is offering steep discounts on two Sonic games exclusively for first-time customers. Using the promo code "HELLOTEN" at checkout, new users can get Sonic x Shadow Generations for just $1 on Nintendo Switch or Xbox, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for $8 on Switch, both of which have received strong critical reviews. The offer highlights how retailers continue to use deep new-customer discounts to draw in shoppers, though it only applies to those who have never bought from Woot before.

The code applies an instant $10 discount, cutting Sonic x Shadow Generations from $49.99 to $0.99, a 98% saving, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds from $59.99 to $7.99, an 87% saving. Buyers without Amazon Prime face a $5.99 shipping fee, and switching a Switch copy to Switch 2 costs an extra $10, which would offset the savings. Even without the promo code, the two titles are already discounted to $10.99 and $17.99 respectively, and both received 9/10 scores in IGN's reviews.
