The Black Friday 17 Thread! - pls make sure you understand competitor rules

I am just looking for a tablet which I can use for my commute; meaning no games or apps etc. Simply for downloaded films (Netflix/Amazon) and I can plug into my PC to sync - Having owned an iPad, it is such a pain when it comes to adding media. I just want to plug it in, drag a file - job done!

Therefore I am on the lookout for a replacement tablet which I can add files without faff. A Fire HD looks like it might fit the bill.

Whilst I am at it, I might be swayed to pick a new Kindle, I vowed to only replace mine when it packs up - 5 years and still going strong. :o
 
Shouldn't be taking place, we don't celebrate Thanks Giving in this country.

I didn’t used to take the day off, but after spending many fourth Thursdays of November in the U.S., it’s been a tradition in our house to have turkey, yams, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, as it often coincides with my birthday on the 26th.
In addition, due to my tenuous French connections, (note my name), I fly the tricolour on July 14th, if only to annoy the neighbours, and always flew a small French flag on the aerial of my Black Cab that day, and on any occasion that France played England at anything, this really wound up my fellow drivers, some passengers too, and in particular my true blue English in-laws!
 
I want a Nintendo Switch, I'm not holding out much hope though

£269.99 still isn't a bad price. Most places have been doing £10 off a £100+ spend etc etc

all I can think of is that maybe a few places will be doing bundle deals, say £299 inc 2 games but you'll be lucky to be honest
 
Hoping OC will have a decent deal on an Aorus X7 DT V7 and a larger SSD for it.

Maybe look on long South American river for some Xmas presents as well.

Why a 49"? Surely a 50+ is better for 4k viewing.

All I'll be getting is Xmas presents for this year and next as don't want leave it this late again. May cost £400+ but makes it easier for me

why is 50 inches better?

49 purely due to price to be honest. I don't want to spend more than £500 and I need the following:

- 4K (or upscaled 4k)
- Freeview SAT connection
- Decent Audio

that's it!
 
I'm convinced that Black Friday doesn't actually discount many items, i think the "HYPE" around the day creates the belief in amazing deals.
 
cue the joke....
'50 inches that's what she said'

I would think a few 4k TVs would be good at 50"+ with all the shabaz. Your choice of course, I just think unless tiny room that ~50" on 4k is sorta wasting it. That's just my personal view.

Im not delving into 4k until 2019. Then it will be 55".

I did get some really good deals a few years ago. (My 5820k bundle from ocuk was a great buy) often 50% off on things I wanted to buy.

But last year there seemed to be loads of publicity but the deals were not as good, or on things I would never buy.

Would like a new second screen.
But it needs to be a good deal as I don't "need" to buy it now.

EDIT - -

I'm not talking specifically about pc stuff but all sorts.
My gf wanted to buy new sheets but only ugly stuff with any decent discounts.
