SA “Black Friday” gaming sales

Some South African retailers have started to adopt the American Black Friday tradition – the last Friday in November that marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

We’re still not seeing the crazy levels of Black Friday deals that our US brethren enjoy, but at least it’s a start. Let’s hope Cyber-Monday also proves exciting for South African shoppers come 2 December.
