Who, where and when to get your bargains this Friday
Traditionally the preserve of our American cousins, Black Friday deals (a US shopping fest that has all the hallmarks of hell on Earth) are starting to seep into the UK, with major companies like Amazon and Apple touting their wares.
Black Friday happens on the Friday following Thanksgiving, and sees thousands of people queuing crowding, barging and bashing their way into shops around the US in a bid to get hold of the latest gear.
Pocket-lint has decided to give a run down of which retailers in the UK are jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon, and whilst we're there we'll also list a few of the major US sites doing the same thing. The post will be updated as and when we see more site's deals come online.
However, we could also do with your help, so whichever side of the pond you're on, make sure you let us know of any Black Friday deals you see online or otherwise using the comments box below - we'll then provide links to all the sites, making Pocket-lint somewhat of a Black Friday hub.
UK
Amazon - The online shopping giant is doing a week of deals in the run up to Black Friday. Covering pretty much everything you could think of, there are drop down menus to narrow your search.
Apple - Starting Friday 26 November, it's for 1 day only with Apple, so it looks like you'll have to be quick if you're going to get what you want discounted. However, don't get your hopes up as if it's anything like last year, the discounts won't be massive.
US
Amazon - Pretty much exactly the same as above, with a wide range of products discounted.
Apple - Again, for 1 day only on the 26 November, you'll have a chance to get some money off Apple goodies
Best Buy - The giant tech retailer doesn't look as though its allowing you to get any online deals, so you'll have to turn up to the shop. Tickets will be given out 2 hours before the store opens at 5am - meaning you'll be able to book your entry at 3am - which is an ungodly hour to be up and about.
WalMart - It'll be another 5am opening if you want to get into Walmart, nothing online on Friday
Samsung - Samsung's main website gives info on which of its outlets are offering cut price electronics across its entire range.
