Amazon’s Black Friday has hit the UK with week-long and lightning deals on tech goods.
Although an American tradition, Black Friday has been working its way across the pond over the past few years. It’s also evolved from a shopping day to mark the start of the US festive season, into a week’s worth of bargains ending on Cyber Monday (December 2nd) – the busiest online shopping day of the year.
This year Amazon is offering up to 40 per cent off PS3 consoles, up to 50 per cent off selected headphones, and a whopping 65 per cent off selected Olympus cameras.
Some of the deals are only week-long – ending on Sunday at 11.59pm, while others are ‘lightning deals’, running for a selected amount of time or until all stock is claimed.
Other retailers such as John Lewis and Asda have also confirmed their participation in Black Friday 2013, but it’s not just the multiples getting involved - indies are starting to get in on the action as well. One of them, Yoyotech, is already offering deals on gaming bundles.
Some of the latest deal right now include Samsung 64GB 70MB/s MicroSDXC Pro Memory Card for £34.99 (21 per cent off), Sony Xperia Z Smartphone for £251 (54 per cent off), and AOC 27-inch Widescreen IPS LED monitor for £169.99 (31 per cent off).
