Feel it – it is here.

Yes indeed, today is Friday, November 29, and there is zero chance you haven’t already been assaulted by thousands of headlines screaming ‘Black Friday deals’.

Let us just remind you that we did get the inside scoop on Game’s specials earlier in the week, although they will be rolling out more specials as the day progresses.

You should keep up to speed with those deals here, from the safety of your desk, and avoid the madness that always comes with heading to the shops.

First of all, I hope you prepped with an adequate fitness regime:

Fail to prepare and prepare to fail.

I tell you who was ready – these staff. Check out this gees:

I think we know who’s #GotGame.

When the shop doors open, it’s everyone for themselves:

If you take a look at the size of the queue outside the Mall of Africa’s Game store ahead of the opening, you understand why folks are bursting through the door:

From a Game in Fourways Mall, these customers seemed stoked to be among the first through the doors:

I’m seeing lots of TVs in shopping carts at Game outlets, so if you’re in the market for a TV (or you manage to convince your partner you need a second TV in the house – I failed), you know where to go:

Every house should have two TVs. I stand by my argument.

Despite those scenes, customers inside Game stores across the country have said security is on top of things, and the shopping experience is running smoothly and safely.

Still, don’t be afraid to peruse from the safety of your desk. Online shopping has the added bonus of having the goods delivered to the office, where you can then tell your co-workers how much money you saved with a smug grin.

Shop it like it’s hot.
