Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals

[Skinner]

Each year I pound the plastic and buy stuff.

The best has been a

2x 512gb MX100 Crucial SSD for £240 (£120 each)

I figure we could post any good deals we find, the above sold out in about 12 minutes, others have sold out even quicker.

So people reading should know the goods sell out quickly.

Amazons is here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Friday-Deals/b/
Asda: http://www.asda.com/blackfriday/index.html
Tesco: http://www.tesco.com/direct/black-friday-cyber-monday-deals/
Very: http://www.very.co.uk/black-friday
Currys PC World: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/black-friday-785-commercial.html
Argos: https://www.argos.co.uk/static/ArgosPromo3/includeName/black-friday.htm?tag=ar:gnav:BlackFriday

If you want to buy more than 1 from amazon, you need separate accounts, so prepare well

I bought a Roku 3 on Monday's Amazon Lightning Deals for £59.99, normally around £90-£100. Sold out in seconds. No idea if any good, just interested from a business point of view, but my net is slow!

Snap! I bought one of those a couple of days ago in one of Amazon's Black Friday deals.

Thanks for the update, most useful. Sadly, I don't think there's much chance of a Surface Pro 3 being in a Black Friday deal, which is what I'm looking to buy.

It's interesting to see which retailers are adopting Black Friday and which are not. I have been doing a little Black Friday promotion via LowPrices Twitter, there look to be some good deals about.

The Lenovo offering to match the surface (forgottten the name) is on offer now on Amazon or later in. So the surface maybe, my mat at. JL says lots of new stuff there getting deals on. Apple are doing something on everything.

Edit:.I had a revodrive pcie sad in my old editing station, 3 way raid (striped) ssd was considerably faster for video editing.

They've had it most of the day, first time i entered the queue i only had to wait 3 mins, around 10pm there were 400,000 people in front of me , just over an hour in the queue. Been up and down since then about an hour ago i was in the queue for around 20 mins, currently sitting in about 30 mins.

Much prefer that over the server crashing like game.co.uk

Tesco has crashed about 10x they have put a load balancer in now with a auto reload script.

Game.co.uk is overloaded.

Argos Black friday is 1:00 am for some reason. Trying to find my sister a 42 inch TV.

Richer Sounds or John Lewis seem best bet for TVs.

My mum wants a 40 ish inch Smart TV. Out of all the smart TV's I've tried, Samsung seem to the smoothest apps, as well as having iplayer, itv player, 4od and 5 On Demand, so looking at a decent samsung for her.

If your looking for cheapy LED Tv's then apparently Sainsbury's deals are pretty good but its in-store only. Pretty sure i saw a unknown brand 40" about £150.

Who's promoting Black Friday on their affiliate sites then? I am. I think I might be getting into the spirit of it after visiting Amazon.

I think black friday is great for Brits as it could mean getting childrens Xmas presents cheaper etc.

I'm not seeing to much in the way of bargain TV's that are the likes of LG, Samsung,Sony. Especially when you see best seller tvs on amazon like a 40 inch samsung going for £269 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JNM4V1K/?tag=acorn06-21.

I'm having trouble getting onto Argos and Tesco.
