Black Friday: Argos technology deals on PS4 Pro, Parrot drone and cutting-edge 4K TV
Some of the best tech deals and discounts for Black Friday 2017 from Argos.
For its 2017 Black Friday discounts, retailer Argos has announced deals on popular technology products including 4K televisions, gaming consoles, cameras and tablets.
It has promised that across both Black Friday (24 November) and Cyber Monday (27 November) there will be "sizable discounts" in stores and online on more than 60,000 products.
It is expecting that its website will be the main attraction for customers – and revealed that in 2016 it received more than 12 million visits in less than 24 hours from deal-hungry shoppers.
Technology and gaming fans were the early birds, Argos said, with 57% of all deals purchased between 12am-4.30am being video games consoles, games and tablets.
The biggest hour was 9-10am with 720,000 visits to the Argos website, equating to 12,000 visits a minute.
Despite the lofty promises of UK retailers, experts have warned customers should remain cautious about what they purchase.
"Black Friday and Cyber Monday have definitely changed how people shop for Christmas, with many using it for the initial burst of gift buying in the festive season, whether they choose to shop in store, online or by mobile," said CEO John Rogers.
To keep you up-to-date with the latest deals, IBTimes UK has compiled some of the most discounted products.
