    Nonsense.. their T&C's have always stated you pay price in store on day of collection, not what is on reservation.

    I've reserved one, but I'm not sure I'll take it. Not great reviews, but good for the price.

    http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/tablets/1404004/amazon-fire-2015-review

    EDIT - nope, not for me. I'd be banging the thing off walls as soon as any kids got a hold of it.

    Seems it may be good for reading, but forget about doing anything else on it if you want it to last any length of time.

    These deals were much more fun when the pound wasn't so strong. Makes buying things off Amazon more expensive in a lot of cases

    yeah combine the fact that anyone with Prime getting the anyway decent deals before us peasants, with the horrible exchange rate, I didn't even bother with Amazon at all this year.

    To be fair there was enough stock for me to get everything I wanted without the prime boys hogging it all.

    I thought there was great deals in electronics, computer accessories and games.

    Care to post a list of what you purchased? Just because I'm nosy....I didn't really see anything to take my fancy.

    I was also wondering if it was me :-) But yeah haven't really found anything this year (though I didn't find Prime early access was an issue - problem was not deals selling out but rather deals not been of interest to me).

    One thing I would says is that the better deals seem to be concentrated on certain type of products and certain brands (for exemple I always seem to see pretty good deals on mid-range headphones from the same few brands), so we might have bought all the stuff we wanted in the previous years hence be disappointed not to fin anything new this year?

    Thanks to Scruff, I've just ordered Moto G 16Gb from Amazon.fr. The estimated delivery date was 28 avril 2016, which is 28th of April next year. I decided to buy it anyway, but I'm a bit worried. Is there anybody with the same experience?
