UK & US Black Friday deals

As previously noted on this very site, some of Bethesda's finest 2017 releases have fallen to ludicrously low prices today. Wolfenstein 2 will cost you just £20 / $30, The Evil Within 2 will run you the same £20 / $30 and Prey will cost you just £15 / $20 for a limited time.

Over at Humble, the site's Fall Sale remains in full swing, with more and more games added each day. Right now, for example, you can head over to the main site and grab a copy of Middle-earth: Shadow of War on PC for £26.99 / $35.99 and give a little of that cash to charity while you're at it. Humble Monthly subscribers will get an extra 10 pre cent off that price, too, making it the cheapest way to get a copy of Shadow of War around.

This Sony 4K set was recommended by Digital Foundry as one of the best mid-range 4K TVs money can buy right now. It's currently discounted to just shy of £1000 over at Crampton and Moore, if you fancy treating yourself.

Amazon is discounting the newest iteration of its Fire TV at the moment, bringing the price down to £24.99, so you can all finally watch Mr Robot after putting it off for months. Unless that was just me.

Arguably the best price around for a PS4 Pro console in the US, this offer from Amazon US will get you a PS4 Pro in Glacier White along with a copy of Destiny 2, the game's Expansion Pass and some digital goodies, all for $349.99. That's a discount of roughly $100 off its regular cost.
