If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

Game 'up to 50% off' games and accessories
Including £350 Nintendo Switch OLED with Mario Kart 8, but same price elsewhere
ExpiredConsole and games retailer Game has previously been a big player on Black Friday, however for several years all of the products we saw were the same price or cheaper elsewhere – hammering home that it's important to compare prices before buying, and it's looking to be similar again this year.
Game has some offers, for example, a free £5 voucher with a £50+ purchase but do check if this is worth potentially paying more upfront.
Examples of discounts we spotted at 2.12pm on Mon 29 Nov:
- Nintendo Switch OLED with Mario Kart 8 bundle* - £349.99 OUT OF STOCK, CHEAPER at Smyths, £344.99 with a choice of game (including Mario Kart 8) in the bundle.
- Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 and 3 months of Nintendo online bundle* £259.99 - CHEAPER in store only with Clubcard at Tesco £239 Online: £249.85 at eBay*. SAME PRICE at Smyths, and Argos*.
See Nintendo Switch Black Friday deals if you're looking for the best prices on a Switch Lite or other bundle.
Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal – don't just take a retailer's word for it.

Game Black Friday console and game deals?
Last year we saw £199 PS4 500GB with Call of Duty Modern Warfare
ExpiredSee our Black Friday 2020 guide for all our predictions, info and analysis. Check Deals & Vouchers for the latest offers on now or follow us on Twitter @MSE_Deals.
Console and games retailer Game has previously been a big player on Black Friday, however, last year’s sale wasn't as good as in 2018 when we saw decent deals released early. Discounts in 2019 included PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch bundles, as well as games, but last year ALL of the products we saw were the same price or cheaper elsewhere – hammering home that it's important to compare prices before buying.
This year, with brand new games consoles out including PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, we're hoping to see Game step back up after last year's KO.
Examples of discounts we spotted in 2019:
- PS4 500GB console with Call of Duty Modern Warfare and a two-month Now TV Entertainment pass - £199. Console and game were the same price at AO.com
Not so hot deals:- Xbox One S All Digital V2 incl Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Fortnite and a two-month Now TV Entertainment pass - £129.99. Console and games were £10 CHEAPER at Smyths
- Nintendo Switch Lite - £189.99. Was £20 CHEAPER at Asda
Important: Don't allow yourself to get caught up in the Black Friday hype, and only ever buy what you need and can afford. Always do your own price comparisons to ensure you’ve found the best deal – don't just take a retailer's word for it.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
