The ‘classic’ German 3-for-2 is back

The 3-for-2 deal in Amazon Germany in 2017 has gone down in SDE folklore. It was the deal to rule all deals. The deal by which all deals are judged. Well, it has reappeared a few times a year since then, and while the original has never been matched, it is available again right now!

Just like the US deal of earlier this week (which is still going) physical music fans get the third item free on a massive selection of products including physical music sets from

Usual rules apply: purchases must be direct from Amazon (no marketplace) and you can do multiples of three.

This isn’t just a music deal, so you can mix and match, but here is the full list of everything and this is just the physical music list. However, as usual SDE presents some highlights below; popular CD and vinyl box sets from the past few years that we think you’ll be interested in, including The Beatles, U2, Roger Waters, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones, Bob Dylan, ABBA, Dire Straits, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Paul Weller, Peter Gabriel, Elton John and more…
