Black Friday is but a week away now, but fret not, should all that spare cash be burning a hole in your pocket right now, <\/em>pretty much all the retailers have decided that Black Friday has already started. But instead of the vaguely depressing ‘Black Week’ it seems all the best Black Friday PC gaming deals<\/a> are being spread out over an entire Black Friday Week.<\/p>\n

It’s all semantics; basically the deals season has started now, and if you’re in the mood to either treat yourself, or make sure you get your Christmas shopping done early and with a smattering of solid discounts to make your money go further. We’ll regularly updating our Black Friday deals hubs<\/a> throughout this time, but I want to highlight here my absolute favorite PC gaming deals.<\/p>\n

Why me? Well, I’ve been doing this a long time. Way before Black Friday was fashionable\u2014all the cool kids are doing it now\u2014I was casting around to find you lovely people the best deals, and I’ve also been a technology journalist for over 19 years now so I’ve got a pretty good idea of what’s good, what’s not, and what’s just some retailer or manufacturer trying to make a fast buck out of old stock.<\/p>\n

As well as the best deals, we’re also tracking down the best prices on the key products from our full suite of product buying guides. We maintain those guides throughout the year, completely based on products we have reviewed ourselves and can absolutely stand by their continued excellence.<\/p>\n
