    Oh no, the whinging and moaning and shouts of scam were too much for me last year! People failed to grasp millions would be clicking for each limited deal via laptop, pc and smartphone.

    yes its a gimmick of a sale..

    for example
    5 second countdown we have 10 iphone 4s for 99 pence

    5
    4
    3
    2
    sold out
    1
    sorry you have missed out on the black friday offer

    reading the complaints everywhere i do not recall seeing anyone say
    'well actually i got one for 99p'

    me too, it was a definate moanfest when people, unsurprisingly, didn't get what they wanted.

    Added to that the whole thing was a complete farce anyway.

    Thought 4th Nov was too early for Black Friday then checked HUKD - it's the 4th Thursday in Nov - which I would say is 24th Nov NOT Thu 4th Nov.
    Looking at last years thread that would seem about right, it started around 22nd Nov last year.

    EDIT: Looking again at HUKD, the poster doesn't even seem to have confirmation from Amazon that it will be happening, they've just looked at the usual Black Friday day and assumed it will be on - so we may all be speculating over nothing!... Although I'd say they probably are more than likely to have it and it will be that day. Just not definite.

    I got a bit of stuff last year too, including the Sony blu ray player for £50 or whatever it was!

    Can't wait for this year :)
