This is what deal hunters have been waiting for. Black Friday week is upon us and with it come the lowest prices of the year on video games and tech. This year merchants have kicked off their Black Friday sales a bit earlier, so there's already plenty of excellent deals to choose from. Here are some deals you don't want to miss out on.
Nintendo Switch 2 (Import) with Mario Kart World for $436
If you still haven't yet picked up a Nintendo Switch 2 because it's too expensive, there is an opportunity to get one at a discounted price. AliExpress is offering a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World console bundle for just $435.87 (normally $500) after you apply a $100 off coupon code "AEUS100" during checkout. It ships free locally from the United States (which means no tariffs and no obnoxiously long wait times). Note that the console is a Hong Kong import. All international Switch consoles are region unlocked, meaning they can be used in the US without any problems.
PlayStation DualSense Limited Edition Controllers
Two coveted limited edition DualSense controllers are discounted for Black Friday at Walmart. The cute Astro Bot "Joyful" controller, featuring a blue and white two-tone color scheme with lively Astro Bot eyes on the touchpad, is down to $64 (normally $85). Alternatively, the Icon Blue controller, which is bursting with bright blue colors that are "Inspired by PlayStation’s storied heritage," is also on sale for $64 (normally $85) and sold exclusively at Walmart.
Samsung P9 512GB MicroSD Express Card
Nintendo Switch 2 owners have reason to rejoice because there's a new Black Friday deal on one of the most important accessories you can get for your console. Starting now, Amazon is offering the recently released Samsung P9 512GB MicroSD Express card for just $74.99 after a 25% off instant discount. The Nintendo Switch 2 is only compatible with MicroSD Express memory cards.
AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Noise Canceling Earbuds
The recently released AirPods Pro 3 is discounted for the first time ever since its launch. It normally retails for $249, but the Black Friday sale drops it to $219 on Amazon. The AirPods Pro 3 is a rather significant improvement over the 2nd gen AirPods Pro, including better audio quality, better noise cancelation, built-in heart rate sensing, long battery life, and a more weatherproof IP57 shell.
Complete Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Book Set
The complete Calvin and Hobbes book set is the ultimate collector's item for any devoted fan of the comic series and it's back on sale just for Black Friday. Starting today, you can pick up the premium hardcover edition for just $86.15 after you clip a $43.07 off coupon. It normally "retails" for $225, although I usually see it for about $130-$150. Even if you don't need this yourself, it would make for an amazing and wholesome holiday gift for kids (or the young at heart).
Meta Quest 3S VR Headset
Prospective VR gamers alert, Amazon just kicked off its best Black Friday deals on the Meta Quest 3S VR headset. Not only do you save $50-$70 off in instant discounts ($249 for the 128GB model and $329 for the 256GB model), you now get a bonus $50 Amazon credit with either purchase. That's basically getting a Quest 3S headset for as low as $199, plus you get a free game. This is the best deal I've seen from Amazon this year on a Quest 3S headset with warranty.
Meta Quest 3 VR Headset (Refurb with 2 Year Warranty)
The best Meta Quest deal we'll probably see for Black Friday has just gone live. Starting today, the official Meta Store on eBay is offering the refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. The Quest 3 normally retails for $500 new and is rarely discounted. I saw this deal once before during Amazon's October Prime Day and it was so popular that it sold out within a day. This is easily the best deal I've ever seen on the Meta Quest 3 and you should absolutely buy it now over waiting for another deal during Black Friday.
Lenovo Legion Go S Handheld Gaming PC
Best Buy's Black Friday Sale has officially kicked off with some great deals on gaming hardware. Possibly the very best deal I've found so far is on the Lenovo Legion Go S Z1 Exterme SteamOS handheld gaming PC, which has dropped to just $649.99 after a massive $250 instant discount. This is the lowest price I've seen by nearly $130. Note that this is the more powerful model with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip and it is easily one of the best Steam-based gaming handhelds currently available. It's essentially a souped up Steam Deck alternative.
2025 77" Samsung S90F 4K QD-OLED Smart TV
eBay continues its early Black Friday TV deals bonana with another big price drop on a current generation TV. Right now Buydig (an authorized Samsung reseller) is offering the 77" Samsung S90F 4K OLED Smart TV for a historically low price of $1,718.39 with free shipping after you apply 20% off coupon code "CYBERWEEK20". The S90F is the current generation (2025) model in Samsung's S90 OLED TV lineup. It's equipped with a quantum dot OLED panel, which is only found in Samsung's higher end OLED TVs.
Sonos Arc Soundbar (Refurbished)
Sonos doesn't discount its popular speakers very often, so it's a wise investment to jump on a good sale when you see one. The Sonos Arc was discontinued last year to make way for its successor, the Arc Ultra. It's no longer available new at Sonos direct, however for Black Friday you can pick up a certified refurbished model for just $399. That's $500 less than its original retail price of $900. It's a heck of a better value than picking up the Arc Ultra, currently "on sale" for $879. Sonos includes the same 1-year warranty as buying new.
Nintendo Switch Zelda amiibos
Nintendo thankfully isn't dropping amiibo support for Switch 2, and right now that matters because some of the best Zelda figures have quietly crashed to just $9.99 ahead of Black Friday. Sidon, Riju, Tulin, and Yunobo are all heavily discounted as the Nintendo Black Friday sale kicks off today, and honestly, deals this aggressive usually disappear fast.
Apple iPad 11th Gen
The latest Apple iPad just dropped to the lowest price of the year for Black Friday. Amazon is offering the 11th generation Apple iPad, featuring the A16 processor, for just $279 with free shipping after a $70 off instant discount. This is the first time I've seen this particular model drop below $299 since its release back in March of 2025.
