Cyber Monday

Elessar

Are you buying anything in this new Cyber Monday deal thing retailers are doing? We're all americanised this Christmas! Gotta say I don't normally buy online for the sake of it but I am looking around...

Just like on Friday will be going out of my way to avoid spending a cent today either online or in the shops.

That'll teach 'em to sell things to you at a cheaper price. The bastards.

If there's good deals on then why not?? I wouldn't usually get involved in the 'sales' or anything but I took a look around during 'black Friday' and ended up buying a new TV and saving a few hundred quid on it's regular price...win win really..

Sure who doesn't like a wee bit of Cyber on a Monday morning ....


ASL OP?

Ah but did you actually need a new TV?

I also saved hundreds on not bothering getting involved in the frenzy buying stuff I don't need...

You don't really need to go out of your way to avoid buying stuff online though, do you? In fact, it takes a lot less effort not to buy something online today, doesn't it?

Not quite as dramatic though as just answering "no" to the OP I suppose.

I most certainly did not need a new TV. My TV was absolutely perfect, albeit 5 inches shorter than what I thought I actually bought 8 years ago but perfect nonetheless.

However, my new TV is pretty feckin fantastic with everything built in so I don't actually need to record to my UPC box any more, and Netflix is right there without having to turn on another device.

Feckin technology wha.

Buying sh1t you don't really need is fun. I want that yoke that Tubridy was zooming around on the Toy Show on Friday night.

Tilly

The shoes i was looking at last friday went up €13 today so cyber Monday can kiss my hoop!!

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Had a look, but to be honest there's nothing I really need, so no.

Good work.

The bulwark of Americanized capitalism is teetering on its very foundations.

Mmmmm delicious delicious consumerism....

I'm sitting here waiting for the flash sale of depleted uranium to start.

You never think you need 30mm caliber ammunition but when there's a sale, whaddya know!!

The hilarious thing about Black Friday is that if you went online you would get the discount without all the hassle.

The UPC box records things to its own hard drive, however, if you no longer subscribe to a channel that you recorded from you are not able to watch the programme. It's linked to your UPC subscription.

I'll have to take your word on X Factor, I don't watch it

I bought a pair of Doc Boots for my grandson. They were €78 on Friday.
With discount and a further 15% off with a code, just after 12 last night I got the boots for €10.20
They had sold out of all sizes except his next size up so he's all set for spring!

the_syco

Saw some deals, waited for them, but only 10% off RAM. Bullsh|t, tbh. Saw some Android mini-PC, but was still overprice in the "deal", so will check the Chinese sites for what I'm looking for for the Android box.

I really need a new computer/laptop so I thought I'd wait till today. The bargains aren't that great really. There's a few quid off but nothing amazing.

I know that I worked for a TV supplier for a while ... what I wasn't sure from your OP was that you said you 'don't need to record to your UPC box anymore', does that mean the TV has it's own hard drive and you recording onto the TV etc. It's a bit confusing

Any good places for Nurtibullets?
