Update 11/20: The official Black Friday AirPods deals are now live at Amazon including the all-time low on AirPods Pro 3:

• AirPods Pro 3 $220 (Reg. $249) – all-time low
• AirPods 4 with ANC $110 (Reg. $179) – all-time low

One of the big-ticket items for Black Friday this year is AirPods Pro 3 – there are certainly more than a few people waiting patiently to see where Apple’s latest and greatest will land during the massive November shopping season. We did already uncover an upcoming offer with a $100 gift card attached and it appears as though they are also now $30 off at Staples – but you might not be able to get your hands on them. 

Nomad has launched its long-awaited 2025 Black Friday sale. Outside of a few exclusions, it is now offering discounts sitewide across a giant selection of gear and we are highlighting the offers on some of our favorite Apple Watch bands this morning. Not only are its new sport-style Tempo bands marked down, but its more rugged Rocky Point model as well as a host of its gorgeous leather treatments are also sitting down at Black Friday pricing. 

After leaking well ahead of time, Sony has officially revealed the 2025 Black Friday PS5 console bundle. And, while we are still awaiting an official announcement from Sony on everything else, it looks as though GameStop has effectively leaked the official 2025 PlayStation Black Friday deals. 

While it’s been all about the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie as of late, Nintendo did confirm its live-action Zelda film earlier this year before announcing the actors set to personify its titular princess and the Hero of Light this past summer. However, up until now, we were yet see any images from the film or the set – Nintendo just unleashed the very visuals of Zelda and Link from the film. 

The 2025 Black Friday deal season is upon us and early details from the major retailers are starting to flood in. This year we are already getting official confirmation from many of the biggest retailers and brands on when you can expect the Black Friday and Thanksgiving deals to begin and it looks like we are going to be getting a full month worth of big-time discounts in 2025. Deals are actually kicking off on October 31 this year and carrying right through to Thanksgiving 2025 and Black Friday with various sale events throughout the month of November.

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.
