Black Friday is upon us, and the deals are raining down like confetti! As someone who's been navigating these sales for years (and let's be honest, occasionally getting sucked into buying things I don't *really* need), I've sifted through the noise to bring you what I think are the genuinely worthwhile tech bargains in the UK this year. Forget the doorbusters that sell out in minutes; these are the deals you can actually snag and enjoy.
Black Friday UK: 10 Deals So Good, They're Practic...
First up, a little something for the audiobook aficionados. Amazon Prime members can currently grab a three-month trial of Audible Premium for just 99p. That's practically daylight robbery! The real kicker is that they're throwing in a free £10 Audible voucher. There's zero commitment – just remember to cancel after three months if you're not feeling it. Honestly, even if you just use the voucher, it's a win.
Now, onto the serious stuff: gaming. If you're after a visual upgrade, feast your eyes on this. The Alienware 32-inch 4K AQ-OLED gaming monitor is currently enjoying a hefty discount. We're talking a curved screen, a lightning-fast 240Hz refresh rate, and a ridiculous 0.03ms response time. Basically, if you want to see games in all their glory, this is the way to go.
But maybe you need the whole shebang? Amazon's got you covered with an RTX 5080 16GB gaming PC build for £1,999. That's an Intel Core i9-12900KF under the hood, paired with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a snappy 1TB SSD. Alternatively, if you're just after the graphics card, the MSI 16GB Inspire 3X OC RTX 5080 is down to £939 from its usual £999.99.
Xbox fans, listen up! You can snag a Series X – the one with the disc drive, remember those? – for £469.99. And those Elite V2 controllers? Down to £112.99. But here's the real pro tip: Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions are going for around £12.99 a month right now. Considering the recent price hike to nearly £23, that's a steal. Stack those subscriptions, people! You can also find deals on the Velocity Green, Pulse Red, Deep Pink, and Storm Breaker Special Edition controllers. Don't forget the Series 2 Core Elite Controller in white for £88 too.
PlayStation folks, don't despair! EE Store is the place to be for PS5 consoles, PSVR2 headsets, PS Portals, DualSense controllers, and all the accessories you could possibly want. They even have monthly payment options, which can be a lifesaver. Finally, Alienware and Dell UK have also joined the party with their own Black Friday deals, so it's worth checking those out too. Happy hunting, and remember to shop responsibly (easier said than done, I know!).
