Agreed everything I was looking for. There was not one sale. Or if there was anything they marked the price up before they dropped it 20% and it's $2 cheaper than normal. Definitely the worst I have ever seen

Even my experience from past hard dealers in Consoles, Controllers, and even Video Games. This gotta be the worse I've seen since those years. Except the PSVR 2 and PS5 Console had the biggest sales. They have slacked off big time. No poking little dots from Walmart. No general directions like they've done before besides being Black Month but now since online around 2020-2021, they definitely dreaded big time. No signs saying original price. No bonuses for retail people either, the boss's not sharing even tho they've been debunked as well.

Most of the really good deals happen before Black Friday to build hype. The actual event is for suckers who waited, with a few exceptions.

seems like it all went downhill after that poor employee guy died after being trampled from B&M BF animals when he opened the door.. i think another person died that way too.

I'll miss that old american tradition of camping outside in the cold parking lot to get a good tech deal. i mean, that was some wholesome culture right there.

I went to check on something on Amazon before buying in store locally, and my stomach sank as all of Amazon has switched in the last hour to "Cyber Monday Deals" - and it's all the same prices from an hour ago that were "Black Friday Deals".

It's so disgustingly dismissive of customers intelligence.

This definitely has weird Black Friday vibes. Inflation very likely to blame.

indeed absolutely no cpu/mobo deals which is actually absurd. Microcenter has had the same prices for months.

No clothing deals, I did get a couple of random knicknacks here and there but yeah hardly any clothing deals as well which is what i was hoping for.


Heres to cyber monday?

The image of Black Friday shoppers rushing the stores to get some bath towels probably didn't do the retailers image any good. Also I believe the retailers no longer wanted to offer deep discounts on just one day and decided among themselves to back away from the unofficial shopping holiday. COVID probably did a number on the day as well as people found it more convenient to just stay at home and shop.

Pretty bad BF, I do agree that most of the good deals preceded BF this year. I guess we will see what happens for Christmas.

Every year people complain about "this is the worst BF year ever" but this is the first time that I'll chime in. Did not feel like a BF at all. Didn't see any epic deals, nothing. Looks like truly the end of the true BF era.
