Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
In the market for a 65'' 4K TV around £500. That will do nicely.
Games playing : Bioshock (Remastered) / Total War Britannia / Dirt 4

Looking for the cheapest possible PS4 so I can play all the PS exclusives I've missed over the last few years (Horizon, Spiderman, some others I'm forgetting). I'd probably bite around £170.
So far I've not seen a single Black Friday deal anywhere for anything that's tempted me.

I had a look at a plastic shed on Amazon yesterday
I can't see myself getting anything, tbh. Money's just too tight at the moment.

Don't bother with Horizons Zero Dawn, apart from the cool dinosaurs it's a pretty standard open world game. Get yourself one of the Yakuza games, Zero is the best place to start, much more interesting and better games.Wrathbone wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:08 pmLooking for the cheapest possible PS4 so I can play all the PS exclusives I've missed over the last few years (Horizon, Spiderman, some others I'm forgetting).

I'll find myself picking up some Xmas bits for family no doubt. Nothing exciting for myself though spent enough on new PC

Looking to get a mobo and processor upgrade but I'd probably have better luck in January sales.

I have no plans for anything tech related. I'm planning to spend a lot of money renovating my flat in the near future so saving as much as I can for that.
Re: Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
I've picked up a new phone for a pretty decent deal, spreads the cost over two years and the tariff works out cheaper than my current one whilst adding an additional 47gb of data every month. So pretty happy with that.
What I'm not happy with is having to get used to no headphone jack. Single worst trend EVER.
I'm considering picking up a new monitor too as there's £150 off a nice 27" IPS Acer Gynsc model.

I've been using Bluetooth headphones for a while now so the lack of audio port doesn't really impact me (though my current phone does have one).
Last week I did discover this is a pain in the arse when flying though because it meant I had to use the shitty free headphones to listen to the inflight movie.

Re: Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
I know what you mean, I can't stand having to use Bluetooth earphones. They have to be constantly charged and as I use them on the tube where there is a fair bit of interference so they will pop every so often. Total pain in the butt.Mantis wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 6:26 pmI've picked up a new phone for a pretty decent deal, spreads the cost over two years and the tariff works out cheaper than my current one whilst adding an additional 47gb of data every month.

Only thing I've bought so far is God of War for £21.
Re: Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
Bluetooth is a great way of nuking your phone battery too alongside the pain of charging your headphones. I only recently paid an arm and a leg for a really nice pair of Bose noise cancelling earbuds too, so it's going to be that silly little adapter dongle for me.
I'm actually considering just buying a separate music device now to put high quality downloads and CD rips onto.

The adaptor is OK as long as you don't put your phone in your pocket. Managed to break mine by doing that.
Re: Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
Balls it is, it’s great! Good story, acting and great combat. Only just bought the dlc yesterday and I’ve loved being back in that world again. It just controls so well that. Probably my second favourite console exclusive this gen. I usually get bored quick in open world games and rarely finish them but Horizon has something special. Can’t wait for the sequel!DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 4:37 pmDon't bother with Horizons Zero Dawn, apart from the cool dinosaurs it's a pretty standard open world game.

Yakuza is good, no question, right enough I’ve not played any since PS2 even though I have bought zero and 6 which I’ll get to one day....

Those are the kinds of technological advancements I'm really excited about when I pay £899 for a phone.DjchunKfunK wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 8:10 pmThe adaptor is OK as long as you don't put your phone in your pocket. Managed to break mine by doing that.
Re: Black Friday - its bollocks but what will you get
Well, just bought a new TV (old one was on it's way out).
The i5-2500K is still smashing along.
I'm not "allowed" any more guitars.
Yeah, I'm getting nothing
