[Drewar]

Nope, I'm too poor to even take advantage of the deals, unfortunately :(

Also, I work in retail, and I will be working 8 hour shifts on Thursday, Friday, Saturday during all of the craziness. Our store is having a sale of 50% off of everything in the store. Wish me luck.

[Alkaz]

Yup, looking for Christmas presents.

[FlyingJesus]

Is there some big marketing thing trying to push the term Black Friday in England or something I swear it's never usually uttered in this country and now this year everyone's referring to it

[Shockwave.2CC]

Might treat myself to an IPad Air or even an IPad Air 2

[jesus]

it's been more people in the UK for the past several years. Mostly companies like Amazon, Asda, etc who have affiliations with US companies. Although Game etc have increasingly been doing them.

[e5]

Mandmdirect already started. Bought a few Xmas presents. Definitely looking to make some purchases. Looking for some more clothes really!

[lemons]

last year i got a tablet from asda for £30!! hopefully this year i can get some clothes and gadget things

[Danny]

GAME have a 2DS w/Mario Kart if you're not too fussed about the design/3D effect. Otherwise, there might be some issues with stock since the New 3DS will be out sometime next year :P

I was looking at this 2DS, but the design of it looks like it could be awkward to hold? Does anybody have one of these?

I really want to give the 2ds a go, I saw a Pokemon Sapphire with the game available for preorder which seemed cheap.. 119? Or something!

Probably lotions from Bath & Body Works. There's going to be a buy 3 get 3 deal goin' on there.

[Chris]

Nothing in particular but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled!

I've been following it for the past couple of years, possibly three. Can't believe the difference this year compared to even last year. Crazy.

[iBlueBox]

God help me.

Black Friday in Currys PC World will be hell, especially in the trafford centre.

And I'm doing a 9 hour shift... :(

[mrwoooooooo]

bought myself a laptop from dell with 12% off and got an ssd yesterday from amazon

[Stadiums]

Wanted to see what was on at tesco but the sites been down all day :( managed to get an ipad mini from argos for my sister, though

[Yupt]

never heard of it till this year, i'll probably spend most the afternoon after uni shopping ngl.

[-Amyy]

Definitely not unless it's online, I've been watching videos of people fighting over tv's and people getting walked on and everything

[j0rd]

apparently there was a huge brawl at my local asda ahah

[AgnesIO]

People fighting in shops should be ashamed of themselves.

Amazon brought it over to the UK. It's vile and shouldn't have been established here. Tesco are stupid saying how bad the crowds were and having to call in police to some stores - it's like they don't understand what's wrong saying that. If there are problems, simply don't do it.

Also, British people buy Christmas presents shockingly early as they hate crowds, so Black Friday goes against core British culture.

Do you like it, dislike it or are indifferent?

I like it as it's decent deals.

[GommeInc]

I like it as it's decent deals.
I don't really like it :/ It's good for tech stuff but anything else suffers from price hikes. Also, isn't a PS4 with two games for £299 not that great? I could have sworn I saw on Amazon or Sainsbury's a PS4 with Infamous and some other game for £269 last month :P

EDIT: That said, a friend of mine bought a Samsung 32" TV and a Dolce Gusto coffee machine for £129 last night. Very good deal.

[FlyingJesus]

Pretty sure I haven't seen a single decent deal in the UK, it's like 10% off at most lol gonna get cheaper later on anyway. Not worth crashing around like an idiot to get a fiver off an overpriced console

[scottish]

Best deals are probably TVs and Game Consoles/Games atm.

Not bought anything else other than games.

[FlyingJesus]

Just had a look at the "lightning deals" on Amazon some people will buy anything if you put (48% off!) next to it I mean 100% of "Ukelele for Dummies" sold and the entire waitlist full why

[scottish]

Half the stuff isn't even that much, because they list the RRP

So for example half the deals amazon already sell 20% lower than the RRP, then just throw another 20% off then say it's 40% off, when really it's only 20% off their price.

[Sharon]

Zara in the US is 30% off everything, Zara in the UK is 20% off "selected items" so basically the ****** non selling stuff

Just shows how everyone in the UK has bought into the gimmick idea that there's huge savings when in reality the only "Black Friday" sales are in America lol... also applies to Amazon's UK version of "deals". Just another excuse the UK is using to convince you into their fake savings

[Absently]

i've not even looked at any of these deals or anything and we're planning on buying a new tv and pc next week, don't think today will have changed anything

[Chris]

I got Call of Duty: AW on XB1 from GameStop for £29! A bargain considering the game is less than a month old.

[MKR&*42]

i wanted something good from h & m but its like 10pcnt off once u spend 25pound and 20pcnt at fifty pound it was useless. Ik new look have a great general sale on atm with 50pcnt off and hmv were doing 80pcnt off today which astounded me tbh lmao.

Bench online has some ok-ay stuff for quite cheap as well. Can't say i've checked out any electrical goods or gaming deals though really.

The £299 deal was the first time I've seen the PS4 less than £300.

ye it will be like that for few years, the stuff that doesn't sell well will be the stuff.

If we ever properly adopt it like the US then you can expect decent deals :P

Good deal but to be honest I don't usually buy any COD dlc. :P

[scottish]

Zombies is gonna be DLC though so definitely good deal, zombies alone will be like £10-15 I imagine.

One of the best parts of CoD :P

[Richie]

Ah that is good then :)

Got a really good deal in September. This one; http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/inspiron-15-7537-core-i7-4510u-750m-2gb-gpu-16gb-ram-1tb-hdd-630-using-code-dell-2006794

According to who? Everywhere I read it's always been planned for DLC, unless that changed recently?

There was a deal earlier today for 11% of a Canon 7D Body. It had a long term deal for a similar amount off only a week or so ago. All Amazon really does is remove a bunch of their discounts they'd normally have and just re-add them for the frequent sales. It's normally the same set of items every day throughout December, so instead of having a discount for the entire month they just give them a discount for a few hours out of each day.

[scottish]

Yeah, they do have some decent deals with genuinely 25% off items etc (or the recent xbox one games, consoles, etc) but most of it's crap.

Yeah I just looked too, guess I'm wrong. I thought I read that it wasn't actually selling the game mode as DLC and people were mistaken. Oh well. This is a reply to what you replied to me but I quoted wrong thing and cba to change.

[Shockwave.2CC]

Yes I done it

I bought myself an IPad Air 2

So amazing!

[Richie]

Bought the samsung galaxy tab 3 :D everything's ordered / bought ! Woop woop!


iPhone

[Andii]

Got a watch from like £400 to £15 which was an accident haha they changed it like 20mins after realizing that it was meant to be £150

[alilbitoflauren]

I didn't go because it was too crowded and busy
