Dear VIP Customer,
Last year Black Friday was our biggest and craziest sale of the year, we promised to give you Boxing Day prices before Christmas and delivered better – YES Black Friday has the lowest prices we offered for the whole year!

So, as a reward to our VIP Customers, you are invited again to our Black Friday Sale, this Friday 25th November starting at 6PM in all our stores. You are welcome to tell your friends as this is a sale not to be missed.

We will offer our best wholesale prices to all VIP Customers. That is 5 price levels lower for everyone!

Plus, we will of course offer a few crazy deals that can’t be beaten by any sane company and judging from last year you will need to queue early for them, so watch out for emails later this week…

The Black Friday Sale will run from 6:00pm to 10:00pm this Friday 25th November. We will close all the stores at 5pm sharp to re-price all products in store!

1244868 2011-11-22 23:07:00 Why is it called "Black Friday"? I thought that a Friday where the date was 13 was a "Black Friday"? johcar (6283)

It's the day in the US that the retail market comes out of the red ink into the black ink on their books so over the past 4 or 5 years the "black Friday" sales have become big things with some great bargains. Looks like it may catch on here..

Apparently over in the US it's so insane some staff members of shops actually got trampled to death by customers as they opened the doors.

1244873 2011-11-25 09:48:00 I nearly bought 8gb of ddr 3 for like 43 bucks. It was like 21 bucks a stick. 2gb for 18. (hah)

Felt claustrophobic though, the lines were out the door, so gave it a miss. Friend snagged an HDMI cable and I felt ashamed after I bought a magic the gathering booster pack instead.

Good night though. And some relatively good deals.
