seems to fit the needs
as for black friday/monday can get a good deal sometimes. frequently though its an easy way to offload stock from last year to make space for new/better models because people move like sheep to get a 'good deal'. US is probably worst at this as retailer over hype and market the hell out of it so people only really buy that day when if you keep an eye con comparison sites there are normally better deals at different points around the year. best deals tend to be in feb/mar time. when stuff is returned and needs to be sold.
