Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2016: All the best deals in one place

Target’s Black Friday ad just went live and it includes some pretty steep savings on gaming hardware and software, tablets, and televisions. So if you’ve been holding out on a new game console, or you’re looking to upgrade to a 4K TV to take advantage of Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro, now is the time to start doing some research.

The retailer is offering some deals as part of an “early access” period starting today through November 24th at Target.com and in-store. The other deals start that holiday evening at 6PM, when Target plans to open its doors on Thanksgiving Day and post the updated price listings on its website as well.

The New Nintendo 3DS is getting its cheapest price yet on Black Friday.

Nintendo will be releasing two new limited edition versions of the handheld — one black, one white — which will both be available on November 25th for $99.99. That makes it just slightly more expensive than the $79.99 Nintendo 2DS, which is missing features like glasses-free 3D visuals, and half the price of the larger New Nintendo 3DS XL. Both of the new limited edition variants feature a slick and subtle Mushroom Kingdom print.

Staples is joining the ever-increasing crowd of retailers infringing on Thanksgiving this year with early Black Friday sales announcements. The retailer has announced some appealing deals on the Amazon Echo Dot and Google Chromecast, along with discounts on the usual slate of of mid-range Windows PCs and printers that the company is known for.

Deals will be available all-day Thursday for those who prefer to do their shopping online, with the company offering next-day pickup at its physical retail locations to customers for Black Friday sales at when they open at 6AM on Friday, November 25th

The first batch of Costco’s Black Friday deals have been leaked out a little early by BFAds.net. The members-only warehouse store will be open at 9AM on Friday, November 25th, with deals running through Cyber Monday on November 28th.

Highlights of the sale include discounts on two of the best Windows laptops out there, the Dell XPS 13 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, and some discounts on the new, slimmed-down versions of Microsoft and Sony’s current generation game consoles.

We’re not even a full day into November, but somehow the Black Friday festivities (or whatever you’d call this madness) are already getting started. Amazon kicked off some sales this morning, and now, Sam’s Club’s deals for Black Friday proper have leaked online.

Here are the highlights, linked where possible.
