Full price again already??

Edit - Ah you have to view it on a certain page I see. On the waitlist now as it's sold out

Myrddin · 27-11-2013 10:34AM

What way does the waitlist work?

CastorTroy · 27-11-2013 10:48AM

If you stay on the site, they'll notify you if it becomes available to you. Each person gets about 10 or 15 mins to complete the transaction otherwise it becomes available to the next person.

It's strange how it works. the price doesn;t update on the product page. You have to click "Add to Basket" on the actual offer. I also found out that you get the Super Saver applied based on the pre offer price. So even though I was under the £25 requirement, I still got it

Banjo · 27-11-2013 10:55AM

If you open the product page in advance and refresh on the dot of when it goes live, you get a "Lightning Deal Offer" add to basket button as well. You can't add it to your basket in advance though, that would be cheating and also very difficult to regulate for limited offers.

I accidentally put this in my basket while impatiently clicking as I was waiting for the page to refresh, so it went back in the pool, hopefully went to a good home.

CastorTroy · 27-11-2013 11:01AM

Injustice is on offer at 9:15 tomorrow, unless they change their minds again like they did yesterday with Rayman, which was meant to be on offer at 6:15 yesterday evening until it was removed during the day

Myrddin · 27-11-2013 11:04AM

YUS! Refreshed the page & there was an add to basket option which I very speedily clicked

Banjo · 27-11-2013 11:05AM

Edit : ^^^ I'm going to assume that that was my one and feel good about myself for the next ten mins

Zavvi still have Injustice for €21 so if it doesn't drop below £17 and you're not fussed about delivery times, or if you're going to be stuck in commuter
traffic at that time (that's not busy enough for browsing) stay your hand!

CastorTroy · 27-11-2013 11:29AM

Wonder how many copies of Rayman there were since at least 2 of us here got a copy each

Banjo · 27-11-2013 12:17PM

Disney Infinity for £34.99 (£29.99 on 3DS)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Friday-Deals/b?_encoding=UTF8&ie=UTF8&node=161428031&ref_=gbdp_AVMG0XVXSNUXN_B00ASHTMMC

Decent price, about 8 quid off the previous low price from earlier in the year. game doesn't look amazing though, might be best to wait for the next iteration.

Stevek101 · 27-11-2013 12:23PM

I take it the Rayman deal is totally finished now. Absolutely raging I missed it. Its back up at 30 again as well!

CastorTroy · 27-11-2013 12:32PM

They usually repeat some deals. Like Battlefield 4 is on again tomorrow. I'm waiting for the Hobbit Extended Blu Ray to go on again after it happened at the same time as a meeting I had to attend yesterday. Stoopid work!

Wooo Smurfs 2 for 3DS and wii U tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Be quick, will probably be gone in a refresh of a page. You add it to basket if you can, then you get 15 minutes to decide if you want it or not.

Might be worth your while setting up a parcel motel account in case that seller doesn't ship to Ireland.

Think all black Friday deals are from amazon themselves, don't think 3rd party sellers feature (open to correction though)

CastorTroy · 27-11-2013 09:44PM

There's a good chance there may only be 1 or 2 available.

The thing should auto refresh but for me it has just counted to zero and done nothing so I had to manually refresh.

The last deal for today has started but they start every 15 mins from 8am, so maybe watch one or 2 change to get an idea of what may need to be done.

But as was suggested, if you see the Add to Basket, click it, then decide if you want it. And be watching on the Black Friday Deals page because the product page doesn't auto update

i'll give it a go but knowing my luck theres not a chance in hell i'll get one. :rolleyes:

Arkham Origins £19.99
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CBURUMS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_4?ie=UTF8&m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

That was Origins. Not City!

Doesn't look like a lightning deal, just a deal

Myrddin · 28-11-2013 09:16AM

Injustice Wii U for £14.99...worth it?

quad_red · 28-11-2013 09:22AM

I've got a Wii U 32GB Premium with Rayman Legends and Lego Undercover for £199 in my amazon basket...

Clicked on the deal and now I've got 7 minutes to decide do I want to buy the thing.

Agggh!

Is it worth it? Do ye play anything other than Mario or Rayman?

Isn't third party support pretty much gone!!

CastorTroy · 28-11-2013 09:24AM

Think I'll pass. Maybe if was £10 or less. Even though I'm a DC fan and have read all the Injustice comics, I have enough unplayed fighting games thanks to PS+ such as the latest Mortal Kombat.

So the Wii U went for £199.99. Wonder if Murphy had any luck. Going by the percentages claimed, there must've been 5 available

Even if planning on getting a PS4 or XBox 1, it's the suggestion to go along with either.

Lego City is a great fun game

Well, I just opened amazon and the deal started 9 seconds later. So I just clicked it as it opened.

But I don't know if I want the thing

Jealous. I couldnt even find the link.

Still baffled by this. I click on black friday deals.. it brings me to a page where it doesnt show and "lightning deals" and I can choose a category on the left say video games and then it just brings me to regular priced stuff. ARGH!! :mad:

£199 isnt the price I was hoping for but its still cheaper than in the shops so would have picked it up.

Anyway gone now.

If anyone has a link to the "lightning deals" I'd welcome it.

thanks.

edit ... I did find them last night on my home laptop but here in work I just dont seem to be able to find them at all.

Maybe I'm just tired and cranky but I'm pretty pissed off about this! .

...

.. Im more than likely doing something incredibly stupid. God I need a coffee.

You should. You can always sell it on if you don't want it. You shouldn't lose the chance at that price.

People letting them go again so they're available. Click the Lightnigng deal link and sort by PC and video games.

Seem to be a lot available actually. People don't know a good thing when they see it
