Black Friday month has officially begun and the early deals are already in full swing, as we have already reported on extensively. Best Buy and Target were, by and large, the first major retailers out of the gate with big-time early sales and they have not disappointed – the best prices ever on the new Google Pixel 10 lineup and $99 price drops on Apple Watch Ultra 3 are a tiny fraction of the highlights here. But this year’s schedule is not exactly a uniform one, and perhaps less organized from retailer-to-retailer than in recent memory – consider this post your Black Friday Watch List, an organized collection of the key dates you need to have on your radar. 

We are now approaching the end of the Week 2 Black Friday sales and it’s time to collect the best sale events and deals still live as we head into the weekend. While Best Buy is actually serving up it’s third batch of Black Friday Doorbusters as of this morning, it happened to get an early start this year in late October so we are technically in the second week of the month with all sorts of major deals up for grabs. Walmart’s massive Event 1 Black Friday sale went live ushering in some gigantic deals on Apple gear, LEGO, and more, while some of our favorite EV brands have now launched early sale events alongside Anker’s Prime charger and SOLIX power station sales. You’ll find our top 10 Week 2 Black Friday deals ready and waiting down below.

AirPods Pro 3 Black Friday deals are coming. Hundreds of pages of Black Friday ads flood the internet and our mailboxes at this time of year, we crawl through them with a fine-tooth comb to uncover the absolute best upcoming discounts, and the first hint of a deal on Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 has surfaced. 

The next major Nintendo Switch 2 release is quickly approaching with the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond set to land early next month. Now just under 3 weeks from launch, and just after Nintendo unleashed the recent Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – Survive trailer we featured, a brand new Metroid Prime 4 Overview trailer has just released on the Nintendo Today! App – we are assuming it will be up on its YouTube and X channels very soon (if it isn’t already). 

The 50-page Week 3 Target Black Friday ad is now up. Target is set to wrap-up its second weeklong Black Friday offers through Saturday this weekend, before a fresh batch of discounts go live early Sunday morning. We, as per usual, are getting an early look at hundreds of the deals that are set to go live this weekend, and you can scope them out down below.

The official Event 1 Walmart Black Friday sale is now live in early access. Walmart’s Black Friday 2025 sale is a three-part event and it officially kicks off right now. Walmart+ members have a 5-hour head start before the sale opens up to everyone at midnight ET tonight. We are very. Much expecting Amazon to begin price matching the most notable, big-ticket items even before the sale goes live for everyone later tonight. 

Red Dead Redemption – Rockstar’s Wild West epic – has been available on Switch for a couple years now, and after details leaked on the ESRB site suggested it would be receiving a native Switch 2 port very soon, Rockstar has made it official – Red Dead Redemption is coming to Switch 2 (and a bunch of other platforms) next month. 

Update: The early Walmart Black Friday sale is now live!

Amazon is landing this morning with one of the best discounts we have ever tracked on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

However, this morning you’ll find the 1TB Black Titanium model at $540 off the original list price. 

After several months of leaks and rumors, Nintendo finally confirmed the name of the next Mario film – The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – and today it will debut the very first trailer.

I have been wondering when one of my favorite accessory brands was going to release a metal Find My Wallet card that actually looks like a premium credit card – Nomad just did.
