There’s hardware, software, gadgets and gifts available in the Game Black Friday sale.
Remember when Black Friday used to be just a day, and getting there first really mattered? I remember queueing up outside my local Game store to pick up a PS4 for a third off, in the cold November air, waiting for midnight. The staff were miserable, I was miserable, and the limited number of people in the shop rule – designed to expedite the process and prevent a crush – hadn’t reckoned on lonely basement-dwellers, who had mostly come down for a chat with the staff.
Get in. Get what you want. Get out. Who goes to a Black Friday sale to browse? Know what you want or stay home, people!
I digress.
The point is, Black Friday sales are a lot more civilised when you can do it from home, in your slippers, and with the ever-expanding sale period encompassing not just Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but days before and after, it’s making those savings even more easy to come by.

There’s also a raft of controllers, headsets, and other accessories and gifts available in the Game Black Friday sale.
Three things to note: firstly, these prices are only while stocks last. Secondly, these prices are only guaranteed online; prices in store may vary. And thirdly, they’ll endeavour to despatch them in up to seven days, but shipping might not be as fast – or items not together – as they would be under normal circumstances.
But still, there are some good savings to be had, especially on the Xbox hardware bundles. Fill your boots, kids.
