    I was looking to buy the radio but when the price came up I was gobsmacked! I was expecting a real giveaway price. Ok 33% is good but not worthy of all the hype that surrounds the sale. Am I missing something??

    I was the same, bit disappointing!

    OOOO managed to get the DAB no problems, thats 2 for me so far, I wonder if being a prime member is making a difference?

    I'm not a prime member and I've managed to get Harry Potter and the Take That CD. I think it's just down to luck. This Black Friday Sale has been hyped so it's not surprising things are going quickly. There must be thousands of people going for them! I do wonder how many of each product they have though.

  • Aaah didn't get the harry potter set. :( Watched the clock go down, pressed immediately after countdown and waited and then gone!!! Not sure I will waste all day doing this! The box set is still available at £14.49 with free del on HMV (not blu-ray).

    I'm interested in the Photoshop Elements, but apart from that not much else there that I'd want. Wish I'd got the Susan Boyle CD though! I guess they'll sell a lot of the lightening deals because of the excitement/hype element.

    Wow i got the hp bluerays for 12.97 and checked out all within about 30 seconds. I have a pc and a laptop and used my laptop as its about 10 seconds quicker than my pc so maybe if anyone has more than 1 pc in their house then try the other to see if its abit quicker?:j

    i think we have to treat this like the tombola at the village fete; if you get something, great. if you don't, move on to the next fluffy gimmick that is trying to get you to part with your money.....
