Bargain Buckets Forum - Did anyone get anything in the Amazon Black Friday Week? - Page 1

Nothing huge... picked up Saints Row 3 for the Xbox for £24. Happy with that!

I got Mad Men season 4 blu-ray from the Amazon USA black Friday deals for £10 delivered.
I didn't see anything I wanted from the UK site, but only looked once or twice so what I didn't see I won't miss.

was following it via hotuk deals, and a few deals when posted from amazon, ppl would then post links to other sites selling items cheaper!

Bought the box (12) non alcoholic ginger beer & The Flying Scotsman Hornby train set .
Wanted the Toshiba laptop & had it in my basket, but whilst searching prices it came to the end & I pressed at the last second but it was too late so tried again yesterday but was 500 in the queue so missed it. I also got one of the SD cards.

I got the BD Batman Anthology for £10.17 so was chuffed with that, only bothered with the first 2 and possibly the third, but they're £8 separately so it makes for a cheap xmas present nothing else that really bothered me all week, some really random items in there at times!

Picked up a razor and 16gb SD Card, just missed MW3

I forgot And probably just as well since I don't need anything atm (that I can afford anyway!).

I did get Psychonaughts from Steam for £2.99 though!

Batman Anthology bluray for me too. Left it at work though so annoyed I can't watch it this weekend.
Plus it is £9:99 anyway now...

The vast majority of the Amazon uk black friday event was frankly crap, there were a few gems amongst it but most if not all of them were only available during 8-5 when Im at work and dont have the luxury of a job that allows me to spend my working day online shopping! 

The only things that stood out for me were the Avatar steelbook, Scarface cigar box Blu-ray for £15 (again while I was at work so no chance) I would have grabbed the Lion King If I hadnt bought it last week, and there was a nice 'Bridesmaids' box set with a toy dog but it was DVD, if it was a Blu-ray Id have grabbed it for my sister, so all in all a pretty poor event, unless you like socks, kitchen items, reality tv series boxsets, watches or oddly, breast pumps and baby bottles

I made a comment on the amazon facebook page about the deals being nothing special and got loads of abuse form folks saying I should be grateful and not knock the 'great deals' and anyhow Black Friday is an American thing so I should be thankful Amazon UK are even having a sale....now dont get me wrong, Im a fan of Amazon, they have good prices, very quick delivery, well packaged items etc, BUT if your gonna embrace the 'Black Friday' concept at least make the deals comparable to the amazing offers they have in the states, where were the killer deals on DVD/Blu-ray's? where were the cheap box sets (there were some star trek ones but Im not a trekkie) where were the kindle deals? 

If your gonna call it Black Friday, it should be up there with the US or just call it a pre Christmas sale, the term Black Friday brings with it certain expectations following stories from friends in the US, what we got was 'Black Friday lite'....


Hopefully Boxing day brings the goods....
