08:50 - Morning! As dawn breaks on Black Friday 2015, one thing is clear; the sheer pandemonium of 2014 is nowhere to be seen. Retailers chose not to open at midnight, severely reducing the need for people to fight over bargains, and websites have mostly remained online and functional.
Apple specialist KRCS has been struggling this morning, but otherwise everyone has put in a pretty solid job. I'll be updating this article throughout the day with any more tech deals I come across.
01:25 - I think that'll probably do for now. Black Friday has been rather different this year - no stampedes, no fighting over cheap TVs, no police and no massive website crashes. Good job, internet! I'll be back in a few hours...
01:05 - Remember Asda on Black Friday last year? Yeah, it opened stores at midnight, then everyone piled in, fought over cheap televisions from a company no one had ever heard of, then the police came and closed it all down.
