I did grab the 240GB SanDisk SSD for £31.99 from Amazon for the kids PC

They kept filling up the 128GB SSD in there regardless of everything else (Steam, profile folders etc.) being redirected to the 2TB spinning disk.

It's back to £40 now but will probably drop again for Friday/Monday.

There was a kingston 480GB SSD on Aria for £39.99, but it's gone up to £47 now, so must have been a mistake. :\

Thanks - anyone use eglobal - it gets such terrible reviews - I was a bit unsure whether to risk it

Thanks - I'm after the G6 Plus though - for the better camera

I've used them before, and my colleagues have bought iPads from the recently.

 

Pay with PayPal and you'll be covered against fraud, also their T's&C's make it clear that you shouldn't have to worry about any import charges so that's one less thing to worry about.

I bought my switch and my D3200 from them, no issues, it takes about a week or so to arrive, and will come with a prong style charger and an adapter, but I can live with the for the savings!

I'd imagine if you get a good item it's great, the problems may arise if you need to do a return...

I'd definitely spend a few extra pounds to get the peace of mind....

I've used them and no issues. I bought a phone from them and it arrived within the week. As someone else has said they arrive with non British plug but thats easy to sort.

I used eglobal which is why I suggested it. I bought my G6 plus from them back in August. It took at bit longer than expected as restocking was delayed. That did not tell me until I chased it up, but they did deliver it on the later date that was stated. I also paid with PayPal for the extra safety provided. If you have an issue with the purchase you are meant to contact the manufacturer as it's covered under warranty.

Has anyone seen any deals on smaller TVs? - 22inch, that sort of size. Need one for a bedroom - I think 56 would be a bit big...

[bald_pig]

I know there were a couple of people on here toying with the idea, 15% off nanoleaf panels:

We've just joined the Tech Scheme this year so we can get tech stuff on a salary sacrifice scheme. We can only buy products from Apple or Curry's PC World and have to pay it off over the year but you save about 12% (tax). Ordered some Curry's vouchers to get a Switch but not got them yet. Was hoping to get them before Black Friday!

[Arthur]

87% of Black Friday prices aren’t the cheapest of the year, Which? reveals

 

That Black Friday discount may look like a good deal, but our year-long investigation has found that you could get a better bargain if you’re willing to wait.

 

We tracked product prices for 12 months, and found that 87% were the same price or cheaper than their Black Friday price at other times of year. Some 46% of products were cheaper than their Black Friday price on at least one day during the six months afterwards.

Isn't there a history of retailers putting prices up prior to the sales ? SSD prices look good only because they are falling rapidly anyway

Black Friday hardly seems to have any good deals anymore, seems to only be on stuff that everyone has been buying recently anyway.

Just found what looks to be a very tempting deal on the Xbox one X with Forza Horizon 4 & Forza Motorsport 7.

I dunno, I'm grabbing a few good stocking fillers, but I'm not sure if they would have been on the lightning deals anyway.

Been tempted to pick up a MS Surface Pro for £749. Liked the look for a while but they are quite pricey. Anything else anyone would consider for a portable machine similar to a surface?

Well, I've ordered from eGlobal, so if there's a problem, I'll be asking you guys for a whip-round!

What about the Lenovo ideapad range? Think they do some higher spec versions?
