Black Friday & Cyber Monday UK 2017: Deals and Bargains & Discussion

Dialogue

Just bought a Sony 49XE9005 from Richer Sounds for £949, which I think is a pretty darn good price. They price matched with hificonfidential.co.uk.

Must say that this is the fourth expensive AV item I've bought from Richer Sounds over the last four years, and they've always given good customer service and keen prices. The staff seem to be friendlier, and certainly more knowledgeable, than most of the big retailers. I think they probably like their jobs!

I put this in my basket and fell asleep and have missed the bloody deal now

Might be worth getting in touch with Amazon. I did a similar thing a few years ago. Thought I'd completed my order for a Vivoactive watch - but can't have clicked the final button or some such.

I reached out to Amazon, a few days later when I realised I hadn't received it - asking what had happened to my order - they re-created my order and honoured the discounted price.

The Elite often comes down to it's discounted price pretty much every Amazon Prime day, Black Friday, and January sales - so not to worry too much. Whatever happens, you'll be able to pick it up at a decent price sooner or later.

I was hoping that this be the case, I am not desperate for one, its just that my harmony one has 2 buttons that obviously get used the most that are starting to need pressing harder (up and ok)

One question though how do you get around the lack of number buttons ?
This would be my first remote without number buttons and I often use them to flick directly to teh channel I want to watch.

I like to swap my Harmony every year around BF which avoids the dreaded dull button syndrome.

There is a page on the display which becomes a number keypad for devices that need number key entry.  It works ok but can be a little sluggish.  You can also add touch icons to the screen for your favourite channels, which gives a one-click access to them.

If you really want hard number keys then the simpler Companion remote (no display, no backlit buttons, coin cell operated) might be a better option.  Amazon were doing them for £70 all week last week, and put them up to £100 when they brought down the Elite (they like to mix it up!)

I'm swapping our lounge Elite for the Companion to have the hard number keys as the lounge is losing the projector etc when I do the garage conversion.

If you really want an Elite and they don't put them back on for CyberMonday, I bought two on BF (one to keep, one to move on on eBay and make a couple of quid).  Season of goodwill and all, I'm happy to help out a fellow forumite with duff buttons and do it for cost   appropriate insured postage.  If you would like, reply to this and I can make a classified listing for it to keep it all above board.
