If so then you’ve come to the right place.
Luckily, Amazon is here to meet our shopping needs. It’s still pretty expensive given that a standard PS4 500GB console will set you back $349, but don’t forget that the bundle also includes a limited edition Black Ops 3 DualShock 4 controller as well which looks rather nice. “Amazon will introduce more than 150 hand-picked Lightning Deals on everything from electronics to kitchen gadgets only through the Amazon Mobile Shopping App available on Android, iOS, and Fire OS”.
Here are the best Black Friday deals we’ve found so far, before they expire or sell out. Click through the slideshow for a few of the better tech-related deals on offer. There will also be special deals available online only. These will include 10 “Deals of the Day” that will appear at midnight on Thanksgiving and there will be 10 more at midnight on Black Friday. If there are not enough items in stock, Walmart will guarantee pick up of the item before Christmas at the Black Friday pricing.
Americans plan to do nearly half of their holiday shopping online this year, and one in five of those who own smartphones will use them to purchase holiday merchandise, according to the National Retail Federation. And in one high-profile case, the deal may only be offered via a mobile app. As part of the “10 Days of Deals”, you also have access to a Black Friday presale on November 25.

A search for 70-inch Vizio TVs on Bestbuy.com shows a range of models now from $1,365 to $2,789. “This trend began in 2010, and we can expect smart holiday shoppers to take advantage of the best deals out there, regardless of the date on the calendar”. Target is also selling the Powerbeats headphones for $149.99.
“Tech is traditionally at the top of people’s holiday gift lists and this year is no different”, said Best Buy spokeswoman Danielle Schumann. And Staples trumps the iPhone with $500 in credits for the Samsung Galaxy S6, with Verizon service, which Dealnews says is the equivalent of a $500 rebate.
