    Just discovered that you can convert your Nectar points into Amazon e codes, so might be worth doing in readiness for next week ?? Says 3 days for email to come.

    I'm as hopeful as the next person on the xbox front, but I think they will package it up as a bundle with some older games that have a £50 rrp to achieve a 60% markdown. Either that or they will calculate it against the original rrp that was around the £250 mark for the 250GB (I never actually saw it at this price as most retailers went for the £200 mark).

    I've gotten the codes from nectar in as little as a few hours, but it usually does take 2 or 3 days, so anyone wanting to use their codes should order now. You can also input them in advance to save time.

    If we were lucky enough to get one item ie Take That CD does that mean we're not allowed to get another item of a different description as i've wanted a camcorder for so long so interested in the Flip ones that are gonna be included (anyone know which model it will be).

    I think it's the Flip Mino HD. It's already half price at Currys and of course you can also get the £5 voucher from their gift guide.

    They are well worth the money. I saw the demo on the Flip stand at the Gadget show in April. I was going to buy one at full price but now I have the iPhone 4 I don't need it.
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!

    well its starts 22nd and if you read the page http://www.amazon.co.uk/b?node=161428031
    its called black friday and says it is 26th november that being the friday so i would think that would be the last day of the sale. also they will not tell you the deals until they happen and could be up for a minute or so if numbers of the wonderdeals are limited its a question do you want to watch all day and week which is what they want you to do.

    there is a link on that page for daily email alerts but i suspect the minute they have gone out it will be gone realistically for those that get it fair play but i suspect quite a few people could get caught out here example the wii with the 60% off lets say is £80 you click it thru by the time you get thru to checkout it has gone back to full price people don't notice click buttons quick as they can don't notice price has jacked back up and hey presto you just got done over and don't notice till the old credit card bill has come in say a month down the line and i think they could be a percentage of people this will happen to.
