AppleBest Mac DealsBlack FridayBlack Friday 2014

Black Friday always offers a wide variety of discounts on a number of products, but so far this year its been slim for consumers looking for a new Mac. We have confirmed some deals from Best Buy, but they are not offering a wide variety of configurations, and have tax implications depending on your state.

Adorama and B&H Photo are both offering discounts on most Mac models this week, we’ve already spotted a nice price drop on an iMac with Retina 5K display + AppleCare from Adorama.

In some cases Adorama is bundling AppleCare with a purchase for a discounted price. B&H currently only charges for taxes for New York residents at the time of purchase, while it varies for Adorama. Additionally, you’ll need a free Adorama VIP membership to take advantage of these prices.

Black Friday ad roundup: eBay Daily Deals will have PS4 for $330, iPhone 6 discounts, iTunes cards 25% off, more

-
eBay Daily DealsWalmartDealsNeweggBlack Friday

This time next week we’ll all be recovering from our Black Friday hangover and prepping for Cyber Monday. But before that, we have a whole lot of deals (and turkey!) to splurge on.

eBay Daily Deals is one of our favorite places to score a hot deal and we finally have its Black Friday plans. As expected, it includes some pretty great deals.

PlayStation 4 will be just $329.99, which is the lowest price we have ever seen and better than any other pre-announced Black Friday deal. We’re not sure on exact models or pricing, but the ad states that iPad Air 2 will get a 20% discount. An unlocked iPhone 6 will be available for $639.99. That’s just a $10 discount but it’s still notable since it’s the first deal we’ve ever seen on Apple’s latest smartphone and you can potentially save on sales tax at the time of purchase. The $35.99 Xbox Live 12-month Gold Membership and 25% iTunes gift card discount are also extremely strong deals.

Head below for Black Friday ads from Newegg, Microsoft, Sprint, Monoprice and a first look at Walmart’s Cyber Monday plans:

Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday sale is now live: HDTVs, kitchenware, personal goods, much more

-

Update (11/21 1:00pm): While a few of the HDTV deals (and other things) have sold out now online, there is still a wide selection of deals to be had on home goods, electric shavers and more.

We’re officially knee deep in Black Friday deals. Some of Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday deals have gone live a little early.

Most notably, there are two different 40-inch LED HDTVs for just $115 with free in-store pickup:

Both of those deals are far the lowest price we have ever seen on any 40-inch HDTV. If both remain in-stock, then I would choose the Emerson model due to it having a higher refresh rate.

Other deals include:

You can also find 32GB iPod touches in every color $20 off. That’s not the best prices we’ve ever seen but a nice way to spend some gift cards that you know have in your pocket.

Check out our preview of Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday sale to get an idea of other deals we’re expecting to see.

Walmart Pre-Black Friday sales event starts this Friday, includes an iPad Air 2 for $489 with a free $100 gift card

-
WalmartDealsBlack FridayBlack Friday 2014

Update (11/20 10:30am): Walmart has released the full details of tomorrow’s Pre-Black Friday sale. Deals include a Playstation 4 with a free $50 gift card, a 40-inch HDTV for $115, Samsung Chromebook for $199 with a free $50 gift card, and the iPad/iPhone deals already mentioned below.

Walmart is keeping its promise to make Black Friday a monthlong sales event. We’ve already seen several doorbuster level deals from Walmart in the past week, but the big-box retailer has a couple more tricks up its sleeve.

Beginning at 8am on Friday, Walmart “will be matching or beating select Black Friday offers from top national competitors on items.” The press release is extremely vague when it comes to specific deals, but it did out one that we are especially excited for:

The included gift card brings the total effective iPad Air 2 price down to $389. Now, Target charges $10 more for the same iPad Air 2, but will beat Walmart by including a free $140 gift card. The only catch is that you may have to fight crowds or get lucky online to snag that deal. My advice is to grab whichever deal you happen to find in stock.

This sale also includes an iPhone 6 with a free $75 gift card for $179.

Check back Friday morning for our rundown of Walmart’s top Pre-Black Friday deals.

Now that Black Friday is less than two weeks away, we are getting a look at what major national game retailer GameStop will have to offer. The leaked ad shows discounts on everything from consoles to games, with over 4,000 stores open at midnight on November 28th.

For the most part, it looks as though GameStop will be matching Best Buy, Walmart and others with the major PS4 bundles at $400 and the Xbox One bundles starting at $330. But keep in mind, Sony announced the The Last of Us/GTA V bundle for $400 as an official price drop and should soon be available on Amazon. You’ll also find $20 to $30 off games on all platforms as well as discounts on accessories and older systems.
