The 100 Best Black Friday Sales and Deals of 2024 Still Available Through Cyber Monday

Black Friday, November 29, has passed, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to score the best deals of 2024. I’ve worked through numerous Black Fridays over the years, and my experience has always been the same: about half of the deals end on Black Friday at midnight, and the other half will stay live through the weekend and end on Cyber Monday (which lands on December 2). I have seen some amazing deals this year and at this point many are still available. I can promise you there will not be a shortage of incredible deals from now until December 2.

In terms of deal quality, Black Friday 2024 has shaped up to be a golden year across several categories and expect this gravy train to continue into Cyber Monday. There are better-than-expected discounts on gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Meta Quest 3S, and Steam Deck, several Apple iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches, including new 2024 models, rarely discounted video games (including top-shelf Switch games priced well under $40), powerful gaming PCs and laptops, and much, much more. Whether you’re hunting down a specific deal, or casually perusing the top 100 Black Friday deals so far, I’ve got you covered.

TL;DR – Best Black Friday Deals

The Best Black Friday VR Headset Deal

Meta Quest 3S VR Headset with Bonus $75 Card

Meta Quest 3S VR Headset with Bonus $75 Card

At $299.99, the Meta Quest 3S was inarguably the best value out there in the world of VR gaming, but the deal’s even better. Both Amazon and Target are including freebies: Amazon shoppers get a bonus $75 in Amazon digital credit, and Target shoppers get a bonus $75 Target gift card. The Quest 3S also includes the Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game.

What really sets this deal above all other VR deals (like the PlayStation VR2) is that the Meta Quest 3S can be played completely untethered. That means you can play games like Beat Saber or Pistol Whip without having to own a powerful gaming PC or a PlayStation 5 console. Try to find another standalone VR headset at this price and you’ll come up empty.

The Other Best Black Friday VR Headset Deal

Meta Quest 3 VR Headset

Meta Quest 3 VR Headset

Bonus $75 Amazon Gift Card

Deep into Black Friday, Amazon has finally offered a pretty sweet deal on a Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset. You can get it for the current retail price of $499.99, however Amazon is throwing in a bonus $75 in Amazon digital credit. Reminder that it was less than two months go that Meta dropped the official retail price from $649.99 to $499.99.

The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset you can get right now. The Quest 3S has very similar internals, and the same Touch controllers, but with downgraded optics. That’s more significant than it reads on paper. How much enjoyment you get from VR headset is largely determined by the visual quality of the display.. If the image that you see is blurry, or distorted, it takes you out of the immersion.

Lots of interactive elements for a display-worthy set

LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283

LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283

This popular LEGO Creator set rarely goes on sale. Today, LEGO Shop is offering the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 set for $159.99, or a savings of 20%. You’ll need to be a LEGO Insiders member, but signing up is free. This impressive set consists of 2,354 bricks, which averages out to about 6.7 cents per brick. As its namesake suggests, this is a replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery, with a center compartment that opens up and houses a separate Hubble telescope, which can be deployed with a robot arm. It looks amazing as a display, but it’s also very interactive.

Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Console Fortnite Cobalt Star Console Bundle

Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Console Fortnite Cobalt Star Console Bundle

Sony released its entire set of Black Friday PlayStation deals last week and most major retailers have followed suit. The best deal is definitely on the consoles themselves and not the accessories: The PS5 Slim Disc Edition has dropped to $424.99 (originally $500) and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition has dropped to $374.99 (originally $450). I would choose the Disc Edition because it’s only $50 more and then I have the option to buy (and later sell or trade) physical disc media. But if you want to save some money and go the Digital Edition route, I would suggest getting the NBA 2K25 bundle (see below), which also includes a game. Although the Fortnite Cobalt Star bundle has a fancy-looking box, no actual game is included.

More PlayStation Black Friday Deals

Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars Outlaws

Star Wars: Outlaws was released only three months ago and it’s already 33% off for Black Friday. Maybe Ubisoft is trying to boost sales after a lackluster launch, but that means you get to enjoy a AAA title at a great discount. IGN’s Tristan Ogilvie gave it a 7/10 review, which is still good, but I’ve beaten the game and immensely enjoyed it, so I would have given it an 8. It definitely has an “Assassin’s Creed game in a Star Wars skin” vibe, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle

Compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the Nintendo Switch console has the best discount for Black Friday. The early holiday bundles, which were released back in October, included your choice of the Switch or Switch OLED, a digital download voucher for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and a 12-month Switch Online membership. I thought that this was going to be the official Black Friday deal. Alas, Target (but not Amazon, due to its supposedly shaky relationship with Nintendo) has just knocked another $75 off the price tag. That means you can pick up a Switch bundle for as low as $225. I have both models and, if I were to buy a third, it would be the Switch OLED. The screen is that much better.

More Nintendo Switch Black Friday Deals

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

For the moment, Walmart is the only retailer offering Tears of the Kingdom for $30. IGN gave it a 10/10 “Masterpiece” rating and I would have to agree. Tom Marks wrote that “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unfathomable follow-up, expanding a world that already felt full beyond expectation and raising the bar ever higher into the clouds.” I wouldn’t wait too long to get this deal; Walmart is already sold out of physical copies.

The Best Black Friday Streaming Deal

Hulu (Ad Plan)

Hulu (Ad Plan)

Get 12 months at $0.99 per month, offer ends December 2. Works out at $11.88 for the year.

Hulu Disney+ (Ad Plan)

Hulu Disney+ (Ad Plan)

Get 12 months at $2.99 per month, offer ends December 2. Works out at $35.88 for the year.

This Black Friday, Hulu is available for just $0.99/month for an entire year – down from $9.99/month, and at 90% off that’s hard to beat. Similarly, the Disney+ bundle is being offered at $2.99/month for a year, down from $10.99/month, making these some of the best Black Friday streaming deals available. Don’t miss out.

Hulu stands out as one of the top streaming platforms today, yet it’s often underrated. With critically acclaimed movies like Anatomy of a Fall and Talk to Me, and standout, Emmy-winning TV series such as Shogun, Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building, there’s always something exceptional to watch.

iPad 10th Gen

iPad 10th Gen

There are a lot of amazing iPad deals today, like the new iPad Mini for $399.99 or the iPad Pro M4 for $850, but this is the best deal for most people. The standard iPad is the model I’d recommend; it offers snappy performance and the intuitive iOS interface at a low price. Tenth gen improvements over its predecessor include a larger 10.9″ screen and a faster A14 Bionic chip, Magic Folio keyboard support so you can convert it into a mini laptop (making it one of the best iPads for students), a USB Type-C port, better camera, and updated Wi-Fi 6 protocol.

Apple Watch SE 2

Apple Watch SE 2

For anyone on a budget, this is the Apple Watch to get. The second generation Apple Watch SE starts at just $149 only at Amazon and Walmart. This is the best price we’ve ever seen for a brand-new Apple Watch with a warranty. Despite the affordable price tag, you actually don’t lose out on much functionality if you opt for an Apple Watch SE. It’s powered by the same S8 processor found in the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra. It also features a bright and sharp OLED Retina display, IPX7 water resistance, fall detection, sleep tracking, Apple Pay, and nearly all the fitness tracking functionality including heart rate monitoring.

The least expensive adjustable dumbells

FitRx 52.5lb Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

FitRx 52.5lb Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)

Bowflex isn’t the only option when it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, especially on Black Friday. FitRX is another popular brand at a much, much lower price point. As part of the Walmart Black Friday Sale, you can pick up a pair of FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells for only $139.97. A comparable set of Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbells costs three times more. Walmart even offers free shipping, which is great since the package will weigh in at well over 100 pounds.

Up to 50% Off These Smart Glasses

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses with Bonus $90 Gift Card

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses with Bonus $90 Gift Card

There’s a very intriguing – if a bit controversial – deal going on that you might want to check out for yourself. Both Amazon and Target are offering a 20% discount off the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Smart Glasses, with prices starting at $239.20. That’s the same deal you’ll find at other retailers, however Amazon and Target are throwing in additional freebies: either $90 in Amazon digital credit or a $90 Target gift card. The Meta Wayfarer glasses are an influencer’s dream, and that’s exactly what they’re designed for: social media. They’re surprisingly slim and lightweight for glasses equipped with an integrated 12MP video camera and speaker. You can use them to take quick snapshots or up to 60 second videos that you can then upload to your social media of choice. You can even livestream 30 second videos in 720p.

Includes One-Time $20 Audible Credit

3 Months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 Per Month

Non-Current Subscribers Only

3 Months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 Per Month

Plus Bonus One-Time $20 Audible Credit

From now until December 31, non-current Audible subscribers are eligible for three months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 per month and a bonus one-time $20 Audible credit. Premium Plus is Audible’s best plan and three months would normally cost you about $44.95. You also get a free audiobook of your choice each month that you get to keep indefinitely.

Audible is a subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of thousands of the best audiobooks without ever having to purchase them. Premium Plus is Audible’s highest tier plan and it gives you access to a whopping 500,000 audiobooks. These include all-time classics like Frank Herbert’s Dune, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire), The Witcher, The Sandman Series, and The Lord of the Rings.

Where Are the Xbox Deals?

Xbox gamers might be wondering why I haven’t listed Xbox consoles. Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to have taken a step back and decided not to host any outstanding console deals for Black Friday. All of the consoles are marked down by $50, but these deals aren’t exceptional. If you’re already an Xbox owner, however, and are looking for discounts on peripherals, there are two great deals to consider. The WD Black C50 Storage Expansion Card is down to $99.99 from $150. Also, Xbox wireless controllers are down to as low as $39.99. Even better, the limited edition Ghost Cipher and Sky Cipher controllers are both on sale for just $45 each.

Alienware Aurora R16 i7-14700F RTX 4070 Ti Super Gaming PC

Alienware Aurora R16 i7-14700F RTX 4070 Ti Super Gaming PC

One of the best gaming PC deals to come out of the Alienware Black Friday Sale is this Alienware Aurora R16 configuration for $1,499.99. It’s the least expensive desktop computer equipped with an RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU. The rest of the specs are up to snuff as well, like an Intel Core i7-14700 CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The RTX 4070 Ti Super GPU is good enough to run even the newest games at up to 4K resolution (in fact, it’s the least expensive GPU that I’d recommend for high-framerate 4K gaming), although I’d say that 1440p is its sweet spot.

Lenovo LOQ 15" AMD Ryzen 7 7435HX RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop

Lenovo LOQ 15″ AMD Ryzen 7 7435HX RTX 4070 Gaming Laptop

The Walmart Black Friday Sale brings with it this excellent gaming laptop deal. Walmart is offering a Lenovo LOQ RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $879.99. Yes, you read that right. The LOQ is Lenovo’s lineup of budget-oriented gaming laptops. This system features a 15″ 1080p display, a low-voltage AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4070 GPU is a fully powered (115W TGP) model, not a throttled one like on some other budget laptops. Despite its low cost, this laptop will perform almost as well as the best RTX 4070 gaming laptops. You should be able to play any game comfortably on the 1080p display.

57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K 240Hz Gaming Monitor

57″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K 240Hz Gaming Monitor

Perhaps the best Black Friday deal on a high-end gaming monitor has arrived. Amazon is offering the massive 57″ Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD gaming monitor at the exclusive price of $1,499.99. That’s $100 less than everyone else’s gaming monitor Black Friday deal and nearly 50% off the retail price. Keep in mind that there is no other monitor to compare it with. If you’re looking for the biggest and sharpest super ultra-wide gaming monitor on the planet, this would be it right here. Just make sure that your GPU is up to snuff.

32" Alienware AW3225QF 4K 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

Bonus $100 Dell Gift Card

32″ Alienware AW3225QF 4K 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

Alienware just sweetened the deal on its best gaming monitor for Black Friday Sale. Right now, the 32″ Alienware AW3225QF 32″ 4K QD OLED gaming monitor is down to $899.99. That’s the lowest price I’ve seen all year long. However for Black Friday only, Alienware just tossed in a bonus $100 Dell promotional e-gift card with your purchase. The Alienware AW3225QF was released earlier this year and is actually Dell’s one and only monitor that combines a 4K resolution with an OLED panel.

Best Buy is the only retailer to drop the price on the new Asus ROG Ally X so far for Black Friday. Right now you can get it for $699.99 after a $100 instant discount. In our Asus ROG Ally X review, gaming guru Jacqueline Thomas wrote that “the Asus ROG Ally X is simply the best handheld gaming PC on the market right now. With more and faster memory and double the battery as the original Ally, the Ally X will run any modern game without dying in an hour and a half.”

LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 42146

LEGO Technic Liebherr Crawler Crane LR 13000 42146

I pay respects to any hardcore LEGO enthusiast who purchases this LEGO Technic set with the intent on building it. The LEGO Techno construction vehicle sets are one of the most complicated that LEGO carries, and they’re definitely not for the faint of hear. This particular model consists of “only” 2,883 pieces, which seems low for the whopping $700 retail price. That’s mainly because this is motorized LEGO set and includes 2 smart hubs and 6 large motorsto power the articulated functions via an app on your smartphone. This is also one of the tallest LEGO sets, measuring 38″ high from top to bottom.

JLab JBuds Lux Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

JLab JBuds Lux Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

These JLabs JBuds Lux are an incredible value. First of all, they feature both wireless connectivity and noise cancellation for under $30. Better yet, unlike virtually all other headphones at this price point, they’re actually very good! SoundGuys recently reviewed the JLabs JBuds Lux and gave it an absolutely glowing review, mentioning that they were one of the best headphones under $100. SoundGuys considered them an extremely good value at their retail price of $79. Imagine their opinion at the current $29 price point.

Azul

Azul

You can pick up a copy of Azul for only $20 for Black Friday. Many board games are about mystery or war, but Azul is totally different. Players in Azul compete to design the most beautiful tiled mosaics they can. In our Azul review, Matt Thrower writes, “Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special.”

MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set

MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set

One deal you might have missed is this really awesome MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set. It’s normally $150 but there’s a 50% discount for Black Friday that drops it to only $74.99. The MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is a buildable 3:4 scale replica of the Xbox 360 console with a brick count total of 1,342 pieces (5.5 cents per brick). The details in this build are, frankly, incredible, and include interactive elements, lighting effects, and the coolest accessories. This is such an interesting product that I wrote up a dedicated Black Friday article just for this deal.

iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit

iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit

iFixit might be a familiar brand name for you from all of the helpful teardown videos of various electronics that’ve hosted on YouTube. Well, they also sell an extremely practical and high quality toolkit that helps you do the same. Amazon is offering the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit for electronics, smartphones, gaming consoles, PCs and laptops, and tablets for only $59.96. It normally retails for $75 and we’ve only seen a price drop only once this year back in May. This is one of the very best tool kits you can buy for disassembling and repairing your electronics — including your Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck — without spending hundreds of dollars on a commercial kit.

More Random Black Friday Deals

Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are all one-stop shopping sites, so it makes sense that their Black Friday sales extend beyond gaming and tech. Here are the best deals I’ve seen so far on small kitchen appliances, personal care products like hair dryers and toothbrushes, vacuum cleaners, and other convenient necessities that everyone – gamers included – might find useful. On a personal note, although air fryers are all the rage these days, I bought my Instant Pot pressure cooker over 10 years ago and I still use it weekly. My air fryer sits in the cabinet.

If you prefer to shop by retailer, we’ve written up Black Friday Deals roundups for each of the major retailers: Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Gamestop. Check them out below:

Will the Deals Change for Cyber Monday?

In my experience, many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday will return for Cyber Monday 2024, including deals that were sold out or expired. Retailers usually release their hottest selling items in batches so that every sale event has at least some inventory reserved. That said, I also expect plenty of new, never before seen deals. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the “retail holiday,” where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the “online holiday,” where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines have blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. In fact, Amazon has taken the preemptive and already switched over to Cyber Monday.
