Countdown to Amazon black Friday

Tima

I checked but didn't see thios posted anywhere else. Just a reminder that Amazon black Friday is back this year starting from Monday the 21st till Friday the 25th and will be hoping to get some deals. Realistically though, I won't get any since I'll be tucked away in lectures . But hopefully some people here will get good deals.
Let the countdown begin...

Black Friday 2010

In 2010, Amazon.co.uk's Black Friday set a new benchmark in UK retail. Over 500 deals in five days included discounts of up to 80% on a range of bestselling products: hit CDs from Susan Boyle and Take That for £1, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii consoles for £50. Other highlights included huge savings on LEGO, Adobe software, Timex watches, and Sony TVs.

Why is it Called Black Friday?

There are a number of theories about where the name "Black Friday" came from. To some it was the start of a profitable period for US retailers, who moved into the black after running at a loss for the previous nine months. Others believe it comes from a description by the police, when rampant bargain-hunters would cause havoc on the streets.




Never had any joy with this not sure how fast you need to be but I was never fast enough for anything. Some said last year to alter your PC's clock by a few seconds but that made zero difference.

Happy Shopping for the lucky ones.
