It is that time again, time for people to rush out for the lowest sales they can find for the holidays. Thanksgiving has not yet passed, but Black Friday sales and deals are already going on in some of the most popular retailers, as well as discounts by Sony and Microsoft for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One consoles.
Beginning with the Playstation 4, Sony released a blog post detailing a Black Friday bundle that will be available from Thursday, November 26th, all the way through November 30th on Cyber Monday. The Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection bundle will cost $299.99 and will contain a 500 GB Playstation 4, as well as Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection.
The Xbox One is also getting a variety of deals. Beginning on Thursday, November 26th, shoppers will be able to purchase select console bundles for $299; this is the lowest price for the Xbox One to date, additionally shoppers will be able to get a lower price on these specific Xbox One bundles –
- Xbox One Limited Edition Halo 5: Guardians Bundle

These bundles will be available at lower prices until Monday, November 30th; however this is not all that Xbox One users and shoppers can get at a low price. Beginning Tuesday, November 24th, over 150 different game deals will be available from 40% to 60% off the purchase price. New games such as Grand Theft Auto V will be included, as well as a laundry list of awesome titles. To see the full list check out the Xbox official site which has deals for Xbox One and Xbox 360.
As for major retailers, GameStop has already begun their “Only at GameStop” promotion, which contains 10 days of sales from November 20th, to November 29th. The list of promotions and sales is longer than the Great Wall of China, but amongst the promotions listed in the GameStop official Press release are discounts to next gen consoles, trade in bonuses for extra store credit, as well as discounts on popular games such as Guitar Hero Live (with the full bundle at a $30 discount,) gaming peripherals and high quality gaming accessories such as Turtle Beach headsets.
A deal of note is that if gamers purchase Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, they are eligible to receive a free copy of Assassin’s Creed Unity beginning Friday November 27th. Gamers who want to get Pre-owned games can also utilize GameStop’s Buy two get one free policy on Pre-Owned games during the Black Friday festivities.
There is currently no word on whether there will be any Cyber Monday deals for GameStop, though with the wide array of other retailers that will be doing so; there isn’t much doubt that GameStop will do SOMETHING to commemorate Cyber Monday.
Walmart begins its Black Friday deals at 12:01 AM PT on Thanksgiving Day, and the majority of its deals are available both online and in store (while supplies last of course.) If shoppers would prefer to shop in person, Walmart plans to open beginning at 6 PM PT on Thanksgiving Day. Walmart’s deals mostly concern tech gear, such as the Fitbit Flex Fitness Tracker which shoppers can purchase for a 30 dollar discounted price of $59. Walmart is also providing deals on televisions, Apple iPods and iPads, and much more. To see a full list of Walmart’s Black Friday deals, check out the ad here.
Finally we get to Target, which is offering a number of tech related deals such as a deal on the Parrot Bebop personal drone. Normally the Parrot Bebop would set shoppers back $499, but during the Black Friday festivities, shoppers can pick one up for #394.99 instead. Samsung products will also be on sale at Target such as the Galaxy Tab A 16GB 9.7″ Tablet which is on sale for $229.99 with a $30 gift card provided upon purchase. Target is also doing a “10 days of deals” promotion on a variety of items, so check out the official page for more details.
There are so many other retailers that are providing huge sales this weekend, but it would honestly take a week just to detail all of them in a single article. Hopefully this list will get potential shoppers started on their holiday bargain shopping; but please remember to stay safe and sane during the Black Friday festivities, as things can easily get out of hand.
