    I got Elite Dangerous for less than a tenner but apart from that nothing. I was hoping for a really good deal on a GTX970 or 980 but by the time postage is added on the £10-20 off just wasn't worth bothering with. Maybe pascal's release next year will make 980's affordable.

    I got sucked in. I only needed one bag of sultanas, but co-op had them on 3 for 2.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2015?

    To be honest I didn't really buy anything for me..I did manage to save 10% on my dad's christmas present, which was already a planned purchase which I'd held off until last night when I grabbed it as soon as I saw the 10% off banner

    I had some things I was on the look out for (some new hard drives as I suspect one of mine is failing) but couldn't really find anything... supposedly there was a 3tb for £50 on ocuk but it didn't last long so it likely had the smallest amount of items available possible. Seems theres been more focus on ssd's versus hard drives and I want storage space over speed

    Normally I go into black friday/cyber monday with the view they're just shifting old stock that isn't selling so anything I'm looking for is unlikely but I'll take a look for things I'm after just in case.

    Picked up Elite Dangerous on Steam and a couple of Android apps. I was tempted by the 960GB ebuyer SSD but I think I'll leave that upgrade for the time being.

    That sounds amazing! I bought a copy of Exploding Kittens on behalf of a workmate.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2015?

    I was waiting for some offers as to save on my build but left kind of dissapointed.
    Anyway from good deals: i5 4690k for 170 (ebuyer had it for this price a week ago),
    120gb sandisk plus ssd for 26 quid and r9 380 for 115. unfortunately this is 2gb vram from vtx3d - I hope it's good enough, I've only read one review of this card, but pricewise really nice, I'll just wait for pascal and whatever amd will come up with...

    I've just ordered Elder Scrolls Online for PC from Game for £12.99 - a colleague has been wanting me to get this game for a while, so seeing it that cheap made me go for it. I suppose it'll eventually go F2P anyway, but that could be another year off.

    Nothing - Was hoping for a deal on a 380(4Gb)/380x/390 or 970 GPU but nothing fantastic. Did get pointed to a few good deals by some helpful hexusites (http://forums.hexus.net/retail-therapy-bargains/350930-black-friday-tech-gadget-deals.html)
    Trust

    Laptop : Dell Inspiron 1545 with Ryzen 5500u, 16gb and 256 NVMe, Windows 11.

    Some 240GB SSDs, some 120GB SSDs, some more 240GB SSDs and some customer returned Bahco screwdrivers from the Amazon warehouse, because I want to see if Bahco really do make better tools than Teng (I doubt it).

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2015?

    This years sales are worse than last years IMHO. The 480GB SSD for £80 from Amazon and Scan looked tempting but I could not justify it,even though I only have a 120GB one still. I nearly did buy the HD598 headphones on Amazon for £75 but by the time I got back from work they sold out and TBH I didn't really need them.

    In the end a couple of mates bought Ark: Survival Evolved on Steam,since it was on offer,and I bought that instead.
