The activity will kick off on Monday November 22nd with new deals announced throughout the course of the week.

Amazon.com offers some unbelievable deals throughout Thanksgiving week and on Black Friday, and this year, we wanted to do the same,” the site reads.

We’re bringing Black Friday Deals Week to the Amazon.co.uk website, so our customers will be able to take advantage of some unbelievable deals throughout the week.”

VG247 reckons that this year will see 60 per cent offered on Wii and Xbox 360 hardware and half-price Sony TVs. The sales will be on a limited basis so expect deals to vanish quickly.

It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games.
