Black Friday GRcade Wish List

Apologies if this already happens...

Thought we could have a thread where you share what it is you might be hoping to pick up this upcoming black Friday - then, if anyone else spots what you're after anywhere, they can quote you in the thread so you'll get notified about the deal.

I'm hoping to get a bigger MicroSD card as I'm all but out of space on my Switch (I use a 64GB card now).

I'd be OK with a decently priced 128GB card but ideally want to get a 256GB+ so I don't have to do another future upgrade!

EDIT - actually I'd plum forgotten about this but I actually also need another decently sized external hard drive!

Yeah, 256 would maybe be a better option than 128 in terms of avoiding a future upgrade. Right now the Sandisk Micro SD 256 Gb card is £34.99 sold and delivered by Amazon.

Ah yes, almost certainly one of my most disliked memes that.

Anyhow, my most wanted is probably just some cheap blu rays from HMV if they do a black friday sale, as i often find most of the offers for other things elsewhere can be generally a bit gooseberry fool.

For this cursed event to strawberry float back off over the pond.

Also some decent Bluetooth headphones for cheap.

Here is what me and my partner have in our Switches and it works great its an Integral 256GB micro sd card only £28 , but as for not filling it mines full, I could use a 512 really lol

Pixel 6 Pro. Clearly it won't happen but a man can dream.

Yup, that's the one I've been keeping tabs on. I've bought SanDisk every previous time I've needed a MicroSD (think this'll be the fifth or sixth one) and never had any issues. I'm pretty sure the current price is much lower than the same capacity card would've been a few years ago, but I'm trying to keep my spending to an absolute minimum at the moment so a further reduction would be very welcome.

I did spot this brand but a few of the reviews were horror stories about lost data. A very tiny minority, mind, but possibly enough to spook me - particularly as I'd be manually transferring my old data over.

In total I have had 8 Integral SD cards , 5 Integral Micro cards and 6 Integral USB sticks , a lot of them I got from my local Wilko's when they decided to mark them down and stop selling SD type stuff (theyve since started selling it again). I have used them in my Chinese knock off console, my last phone, my switch, my PC, my Wii, my DS Super Card 2, my Wii U and other things and I have never lost a piece of data... My current Phone has a Samsung card in it cause I got a bigger one cheaper and its lost all data and needed backing up from my computer 3 times now so far.

Got a Microsoft Surface Pro 7, as they're on offer with the 8 coming out. Wondering now if I should have just spent the bit extra and got the 8.

never had an issue with any integral card... I haven't had problems with many other than a Chinese one that came free in a device and a Samsung one that's deleted itself a few times.
