amazon.co.uk have been runinng theirs past couple of days.

I did get a couple of items myself, saved on average 40%.

I got two laptop covers ?5 each, a wrist watch ?5.50, DvD box set, Phoenix Nights and an Umbrella.

I was after software, electronics and computer related. It's been pretty poor.

Monday for example they had Adobe Photoshop elements 10, reduced to ?29.97, hardly any went, so when they re-upped it yesterday, I thought

maybe a more tempting offer, maybe ?19.97, wrong, still same price and hardly any went.

Same with the zumba kit I was going to buy, re-upped and no change in price.

Todays deals are not really tempting, for me anyway.

Check them for yourself (Wednesday's deals): http://www.amazon.co...d_i=navbar-4201

That is a 42'' Vizio LED LCD 3D-TV with WiFi and a QWERTY keyboard for $598 on Black Friday.

That is the one I will be getting, I think. Just worried as it only has two online reviews via Wal-Mart, but there is also a youtube review, that seems decent. I don't know if I trust Vizio though. What has me sold on it is the 240Hz refresh rate and 5,000,000:1 ratio. Them are some good numbers for gaming.

EDIT: Actually that youtube review was a different TV. I can't seem to find any reviews on this TV other than the single one on WalMart.com, which seems shifty itself. :/

2ND EDIT: Also, now looking around, WalMart.com is the only site that says 5,000,000:1 ratio, everywhere else I am seeing it shows it as 100,000:1. Ugh. I hate TVs.

They list it as the same as well. Thinkinkg of checking out that one today too. Still not sure which one I want but ethernet and wifi on this one sounds good.

The UKs version has been so frigging crap this year.

This will be the first year I don't buy anything (not counting steam deals)

Just bought my first SSD.

OCZ Vertex 3 120GB CAD $149.99 after MIR

This is the cheapest I've ever seen it. I was planning on getting an Agility 3 when it dropped to $150, but I managed to step it up a notch for the same price.
