Are Black Friday Deals in the UK Still Worth Chasing, or Have They Lost Their Spark?
[MEGATHREAD] 2022 Black Friday/Cyber Monday/11-11 Deals
(Deal) Black Friday Deals seem to be going live!
Good spot. Sale will run for 2 weeks by the looks of it.
Also, Gotham Knights is 40% off already... That was quick.
And now 40% off on PSN's Black Friday sale as well. WB not happy with either platform it seems.

Nah. Black Friday in Scotland is the last Friday payday before Christmas. You go to the pub.
More on reddit.comI’ve been doing some early digging into this year’s Black Friday offers, and I’m starting to wonder if the whole thing has become less worthwhile than it used to be. It feels like a lot of retailers now spread “offers” across the whole month, and half the time the prices look no different to what they were a few weeks earlier.
While browsing around I ended up reading a Black Friday 2025 breakdown on MyFavouriteVoucherCodes, mainly because I was trying to compare which shops actually offer genuine reductions and which ones just repackage old prices. It got me thinking, are people here still seeing proper savings during Black Friday, or is it mostly marketing these days?
I’m curious about everyone’s experience. Do you still wait for Black Friday for big purchases, or have you moved on to looking for deals throughout the year instead? And if you did grab anything worth mentioning last year, was it actually a bargain or more hype than value?
Would love to hear how shoppers across the UK are approaching it now.
