Black Friday 2020 (27th Nov)

[PixelpeepZ4]

Hi all...

what we all on the hunt for? any interesting deals? please share both!

i'm looking for Sonos kit, but i want the new amp - being a new product i don't know if they'll discount it?

Having messed around for the last 12 months or so with random parts, some second hand, because I just enjoy putting computers together, I decided after such a rubbish year to be a bit frivolous and treat myself to something a bit more serious!

MSI B550M Mortar Wifi mATX Mobo 154.99 down to 119.99
Ryzen 3900X OEM Pack 407.99 down to 388.99
Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2 x 8 GB RAM 3600 @ regular price

All from Scan. Should be with me on Friday. Made the most of the situation and took my rig apart for a good clean down!

I know the 5000 series has just come out but to honest I was running an FX8370 OC to 4.4ghz and 32GB RAM 1600 quite happily, so I should feel quite a nice bump up in performance all round!

Toying with looking at what they offer. We have one older Play:5 that prevents us being able to update the app....they offered 30% against a new, but maybe if they offered more (or against 2 x Play:1s) we might bite.
Let me know if you find anything!!

Otherwise...not really. Picked up a Wahoo Roam bundle (bike nav/computer) on a decent deal a couple of weeks back, couldn’t see it dropping lower....

Nest Outdoor cameras are the only thing really. few offers floating around already but nothing tempting.

1TB external SSD, Samsung T7 or another good one hopefully. Also want another 16GB DDR4 ram for my new laptop.

If you look in the Sonos online shop you should be able to use your trade up 30% voucher off the bundles as well - not just the single speaker purchases.

The Blink minis are cool - i bought one to trail when they were £24.99 - good for what they are, would like to get a few more if they dip below £20. Hopefully the Sync 2 unit will be released then also - tiny NVR that'll run 10 blinks and record onto a mini SD and no subscription bullst!

Hoping the new Amazon Echo will be discounted, not paying £90 & my original Echo is getting less reliable by the week.

I bought a show 5 when they did them recently for £39.99 - well worth it, imo. - as this is an older model i'd imagine that'll be discounted on BF

My wish came true, discounted to £59.99 - should be here tomorrow

I'd really like one of the new MacBook Airs, but Apple don't usually give much away.
Not holding my breath.

No chance, might offer a small discount on their old stock but brand new stuff no chance.

20% off some ebay shops today. Managed to save £50 on brakes for the 182.

PURCHASE20 is the code. But if you search for stuff, there is red text next to the items that are part of it, so easy to find.

Good shout....I reckon a couple of One SLs would be a decent replacement for the Play:5 we have.
Wonder if they will drop any more off their prices for Black Friday - 2 basic OneSLs still come in at £250 *with* the offer (I know, better than £358 without!) - it's a lot of money to avoid the annoying nag screen for app updates...maybe I should look at the greater savings offered by more expensive sets (surround, etc!)

Was waiting for the same, but went for a Show 8 for the same price.

Did you get your free Hue bulb with yours?

Didn’t spot it when I placed my original order, spotted it when I went back to post the link here so placed another order, too late to cancel the original so now have 2 arriving tomorrow!

i fear the bank account will take a hit, as in true me style i will look out for what i want, but also purchase stuff that seems 'cheap'

I know this because i've just had a punt on a £55 video projector from amazon.. first cheapy i've seen with a half decent native resolution (1280x720)
