Thanks. Just a case of keep trying then. I’m finding this strangely enjoyable, its probably a good thing that I never fully got into eBay.

Out of curiosity, what browser were you using? In FF I seem to get stuck in a perpetual queue, similar trouble with IE. In Opera the offers don’t even appear, although curiously when I masked as FF it ended up queuing for a few seconds, before flicking to ‘sold out,’ which seemed to be the correct behaviour. (Although I’d prefer to ‘win’)

well it is always on limited items.and for limited time.i think best way to spot a bargain is by using a blog which keeps itself updated with anything felling into that discount zone.Saves hassle of searching bargains and no headache of competing with other online shoppers…;)

Great deal, existed for at least one second before the website ground to a halt and then all gone.

Obviously a great deal if you want a Wii but stock level vs internet F5ers mean you might as well enter some promo competitions, you’ve got just as much chance of winning a prize.

Most things, particularly gaming things, will not have as much off as you might be expecting. Or if they do, it’ll just be to bring them into line with current offers on other websites. The Vanquish deal has proved that… I can’t see any way they’ll have 50% or 60% off any consoles, myself.

I noticed that. It was already cheaper on Zavvi, same price on Play, sure there was somewhere else too. Most of these discounts aren’t worth checking back for.

Right here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-End-Deals/b?ie=UTF8&node=161428031 in the first paragraph there’s a blue link that says “Visit the Black Friday Deals page now to see what’s available. “

Will, it seems were both going mad as I can’t find the page either.

Isn’t it spelled ‘Savvy’?

Watched the Goldeneye Collector’s Edition sale tick down… 00:03, 00.02:, 00.01, *click* ‘Buy’, Sold Out. Didn’t even get to Basket/Payment page. They patently have <50 units on most of the stuff, and anything remotely desirable will sell out in 1-2 seconds. This isn't really about offering great deals – more about getting people on the site and hoping that they stick around to buy something out of disappointment.

I reckon people's time is worth more than the constant checking and failed attempts this sale will require – but others may have more luck than me.

I mean, sure, it would be great if they had enough deals for everybody, but then you can hardly expect massive below cost reductions.
