A quick word about how we’re covering Black Friday deals this yearWe’re inviting some friends
We’re inviting some friends
Morning everyone.Black Friday 2022is upon us and we’ll be covering it a bit differently to previous years – better, hopefully, albeit still in a way where an explanation might help. Basically, we’ll still be highlighting good hardware deals through ourBlack Friday hubsand the occasional standalone post, but this time we’re teaming up with our Gamer Network friends/colleagues/corporate co-underlings atEurogamerandDigital Foundryto share the load.
Through some new syndication doodads installed in our respective sites’ backends, we’ll be cross-posting these hubs and deal highlights so that one article can appear across multiple sites at once. What this means to you, essentially, is that you may see Black Friday content from non-RPS sources on the RPS homepage’s deals shelf, or perhaps click a deals hub link on RPS and be taken to a Eurogamer article. Likewise, my coverage here will show up on the other sites as well.

Besides, most of what you see will just come from me and DF’s Will Judd, who handles most of our deals coverage anyway in a freelance capacity. And yes, only PC-related content will be syndicated to RPS; we’re not going to start highlighting Nintendo Switch cases or anything.
So that’s that! The only other thing I’ll say, before entering an ecommerce trance for the next week, is that I know we’re maybe not living in the best economic conditions to go off splashing a load of cash on computer bits. Everything feels twice as expensive as it was in August, often for reasons that range from simple bullshit tocrimes against humanity, and nobody needs a new SSD as much as they need to heat their home. Remember, then, that you’re only truly saving money with a Black Friday sale when you buy something that you were going to buy anyway.
