Black Friday
So has anyone been trying to get any bargains from Black Friday?
Does anyone know of anywhere other than Amazon which is taking part in this? I have bought three things so far

It's a bit stupid doing it the week before most people get paid!
I haven't seen anything I want yet. I think Tak has though.

Don't forget, alongside Black Friday there is the relatively new tradition of Cyber Monday, expect some deals to kick in on a number of online sites on Monday.
You'd have to go back a couple of hundred years to the silly ninny that suggested the final Thursday in November as Thanksgiving It's not really that big a problem here as it seems almost everyone is paid twice a month so most folks just got paid or get paid on Friday (?.. I kinda lose track), so most folks should have money. Someone started camping outside Best Buy in Honolulu on Monday morning, ready for the Black Friday deals

Got some hair clippers yesterday and interested to see what the hidden Lego box is at 6pm.
It starts day after thanks giving, hence this week. So similar to our boxing day sales which come when we are all skint. Wouldn't mind the white Denny set that is back on today, but can't afford it.

Well judging by that it should be next week as Thanksgiving is Thursday... - they should do Black Friday, then a week of sales...would make a lot more sense. At least some of us get money for Christmas in the UK!

If it's the same as the one on today then not worth it as it's not full HD 1080 resolution only an HD ready 768, which at that size would look a bit crap.

No it was different it was a full HD TV and built in freeview. However, I don't need one, it's pure greed, and I could get them cheaper than amazon from my supplier anyway - it's just amazing the discount they're doing!

Oops I was slightly wrong, black Friday is the Friday after thanks giving. The rest of the deals are just an extended run upto black Friday.

I do understand the concept, I'm just saying I think the timing is a bit crap, when a week later, a lot of people would be able to buy more.
