    Sadly it's a long time since amazon's big sale days were interesting and nothing new on that by the look of it. Be prepared for hundreds of deals for 50% off USB cables and tatty jewellery.

    Some of the lighting sales can be alight but lets give them the benefit of the doubt and allow it to start before slating them.
    Plenty of options if you look at last years thread.

    The preview deals are hilarious :pac:

    Overpriced wired headphones seem to be the order of the day! WTF like :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,084 ✭✭✭n1ck


    They seem to sell a lot of cheap rip off products on these sales in the last few years, it's pretty disappointing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,308 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Use https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com to verify the deals.

    On Black Friday, I noticed some products will have come online 6 months ago, at €600 and stayed at that price only to be "slashed" by 95% to be the same as every other shop. I did, however, get a few nice bargains. Once you know what the prices are like elsewhere, you can get a good deal.

    They are not the same thing. The echo show 2nd generation is a far bigger screen and speaker. Saying that I would prefer the echo show 5

    Are you referring to the link at the top of the page for £6 credit if you buy a £50 amazon voucher? They've done better before. Plus I'm not eligible - as per usual with these.

    I suspect he just likes the A team. Plus it's a signed copy.

    Neither works hands free, not as seemless as GH/chromecast for voice control.

    It's just as well it didn't work hands free. Many people have an Alexa in the room and the fire TV stick which will be obviously off when the TV is.
    Hence the need to press the button for voice

    Usual 20% off selected Warehouse items from midnight

    My stuff on Adverts, mostly Tesla Pre Highland Model 3

    You can tell ur gh to turn on and off tv and to play stuff on youtube/Netflix etc. Does way with need for remote control. Only thing fire stick is good for as for sideloading 3rd party streaming platforms ( allegedly ).

    In the middle of traveling from abroad. Can anyone recommend a router on sale that can fully utilize full gigabit throughput? My old asus r66u is stalling at 400mbit from the modem out due to cpu limitation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,147 ✭✭✭rom


    £22.00 for an echo dot ain't bad

    This isn't on sale but it's a bargain. I'm a huge fan of Mikrotik, this one will keep you entertained for weeks. It's an enterprise router with features on par with a Cisco costing thousands. There's a bit of a leaving curve, but it's worth it as there is nothing they can't do

    What a load of bollix. 4k monitors i was watching in warehouse deals. 20% off but we'll bump up the price 30% first!

    Sennheiser HD 599 open-back headphones are down to £89.99. An excellent price, the cheapest I’ve ever seen them.

    It’s a great deal for anyone in the market for a good pair of cans, but keep in mind they’re open-back so they’re not suitable for travel as they leak sound by design.

    Links! We needs LINKS!


    Galaxy S9, going fast!

    Had this last time, logging out and back in may help (or might’ve been a coincidence :pac: )
