Go my Lego too... my Lego that no one else should have.... mine!!!

...I should really give it to someone though :/
 
Postman dropped off some stuff, no lucky bag yet :lol but I have my £9.99 vanquish from amazon and £15 spiderman shattered dimensions from the play monday sale, nice set of presents.

They also just added in FIFA 11 for 25 euro (£22.50 with postage), lol damn I just paid £25 last night for a copy :P not a huge loss.

Don't forget about bank fees (assuming you're with one that charges for currency conversion) as well, so its probably even less of a loss.

As for Amazon. 6:45 PM is all I need to know
I'll probably mess this one up by trying alt+click...the switch tab alt + # should be faster than going to the tab plane, hitting the next tab then going back to the deal, right? I have to use multiple tabs to lessen the probability of being stuck in the dreaded phantom queue
 
oh my god fucking day … i missed the wheel fuck work and shit … coming home to gaf and seeing a missed wheel is like the biggest shit :(

can anyone give me a euro summary of other black friday deals that are still ongoing ?
 
I got myself a DFGT. Thanks for the link Keyser Soze.

Luckily I knew my amazon.* password at work. I was already wistful as the last DFGT deal was last year and that was around 85EUR and the thought of paying more than 120 for it was destroying my cheap ass heart.

So far nationwide has not charged me for any euro or dollar conversions, at least nothing has ever come up about it on my statements.
 
Mozart's back! 6pm. Apparently discounted from £79.99, now.

When I paid for the amazon.fr wheel, what was the big splash screen about currency conversion? It looked like an invitation to opt in to some other service, but I wasn't clear, and I'm always suspicious of things like that where the "ACCEPT" button is so much larger than the "No, just do things normally" button.

It was on last night, and then came back early this morning for the new round of sales, but Black Friday is ending on Amazon France soon, so I don't think it has a chance to return.

*faints from shock of Mozart*

As for the other point. Pulling stings here, I know Amazon.com have the option to charge you in £s (but I don't remember it being an exact exchange rate as I think my $15 order was £10.61 when it was ~£1:$1.50) and that means you won't have to pay an possible bank fees, good if you're with Santander as they charge stupid amounts. But given how many services Amazon likes to offer (credit cards, free tiral of prime etc) it could seriously be anything.

Edit: If you want the wake-up light and the mens pendent you're in luck as they are 9PM.
Can something else please show up at 6:45...

It's your lucky day I've got one in my basket and don't plan to buy it.

You'll have to fully trust me though. And have a Paypal account.

Can't believe there are still amethyst earrings left :lol
 
Just noticed Rock Band 3 is £29.99 on Amazon.co.uk.
No idea if it's any cheaper elsewhere.

I almost bought it but I don't want to get Start the Party so I will wait until another great deal comes by.

If I get Start The Party i'll just sell it to Cex. Actually I might sell Sports Champions if I get that too, depends on if its much cop.

Should one blame Steam for all this?
 
I somehow managed to sleep in all day and I've missed everything. Son of a bitch, i'll probably end up missing the 360 too.

They're good at timing. 17:00=17:20 18:00=17:35 :lol

Well Amazon 8:15PM. Looks like the Sony TV is back...
and I'll be compulsively refreshing for the Wii :lol

Sounds like you were in a phantom queue...annoying little things. Pleased you got it in the end though. But yes it should be until 23:59 unless it gets moved to saved for later (either by yourself or it going out of stock) or they changed the rules without telling anyone.

Unlikely, as items only appear back if people added them to their basket, then remove before buying. Hardly anyone with sense would have done that with the Wii if they were lucky to get one.

Mario Kart [with Wii Wheel] (Wii) - £19.00 @ Amazon

They're price matching Tesco Direct (who you don't have to pay the £5 delivery if you get it sent to a store). Also expect Wii Sports Resort £25 and Wii Party £28

Who knows (Amazon have said nothing). The Blu-Ray Player and the TV have got my hopes up though.
