With Amazon’s recent Prime Day event behind us, it’s time for us to turn our attention to the two biggest shopping events of the year: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Retailers leaned into the chaos early by dishing out deals and discounts well ahead of November 25th — as well as on the actual shopping holiday that took place the day after — but rest assured that many of the best deals are still available now that Cyber Monday is upon us.
While it’s unlikely that we’ll see discounts on hot-ticket items like the PlayStation 5 today, we’re here to help you find deals on what is available, including noise-canceling headphones, 4K TVs, phones, robot vacuums, streaming services, laptops, and a variety of other tech. As always, we’re providing you with regular updates on all the best deals and arming you with all the right information you need to navigate — and stay sane — during the busy holiday season. After all, juggling the myriad of deals, offers, terms, and conditions associated with each retailer never seems to get any easier.
Whether you intend to get your holiday shopping done online or in-store this year, a number of retailers — including Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, and Target — are offering deals, online exclusives, and price-matching items. We’re also on the lookout for other retailers entering the deals fray today, with Cyber Monday offering another opportunity for a new selection of fresh discounts.
We’ll be providing a steady drip of news, tips, and deals today and through Cyber Week, so bookmark this page and check back regularly if you want to stay up to date on all the latest deals from across the internet. Also, if you want savings delivered directly to you, be sure to subscribe to the Verge Deals newsletter and follow @VergeDeals on Twitter.

The Verge’s Guide to Cyber Monday 2022
Black Friday has come and gone. The annual deals extravaganza that closes out the year is over, yet many retailers — including Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy — are still offering some of their best savings of the year now that we’re in the midst of Cyber Monday. This means it’s still a great time to score a steep discount on a wide range of tech, including noise-canceling headphones, smart displays, OLED TVs, robot vacuums, gaming laptops, and a bevy of other popular gadgets from the likes of Apple, Amazon, and Google.
Read Article >Today is a great opportunity to gift stuff to yourself, but it’s also your best chance to do a bunch of gift shopping for others. If you’re unsure where you should shop, keep in mind that many retailers offer terrific price-matching policies (or at least price protection) during this time, allowing you to breathe easy knowing that you’re getting the biggest markdown possible.

The best early Cyber Monday deals you can get now
You know how most streets in US towns look exactly the same, barring a few differences? That’s kind of how Cyber Monday is to Black Friday. Many of its deals should be familiar if you’ve been paying attention throughout the Thanksgiving weekend, even though it’s taking on another name. If you haven’t been tuned in, well, you’re in for a treat. There are so many best-ever deals on tech like noise-canceling headphones and earbuds, iPads, video games, budget-friendly gadgets, and a lot more (pour one out for the $569 48-inch LG A2 OLED TV at Best Buy, which is no longer available).

A bunch of Sonos speakers are 20 percent off for Cyber Monday
Here’s a good deal: a big swath of Sonos’s speakers and soundbars are 20 percent off through Cyber Monday. The sale is now live at Sonos’s website as well as Best Buy, Target, and other retailers. Pretty much everything is at its lowest price ever, and while there are some notable exclusions — including the Sonos Roam, Five, and Sub Mini — it’s still a great time to fill out your Sonos system.
Read Article >You can pair either soundbar with other Sonos speakers or subwoofers to create a surround sound system. The Sub (third-gen) is on sale for $599 at Best Buy and Sonos and pairs better with the Arc; the Sub Mini is (alas) not on sale.

The Nintendo Switch is on sale with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for just $299.99
The holidays (excluding Black Friday) are truly a time to show a little extra compassion and empathy toward our fellow humans, but if you feel the need to use that blue shell, don’t hesitate. Right now, multiple retailers still have an excellent Nintendo Switch bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a three-month individual membership to Nintendo Switch Online, and a standard Nintendo Switch. Normally, the combined price of everything included in this bundle would cost roughly $368, but it’s currently available at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy for just $299.99.
Read Article >Mario Kart is a game that needs no introduction, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is arguably the best entry in the series to date thanks to not only the portable form factor of the Switch, but a much-improved battle mode and a “smart-steering” option that makes it more accessible than previous entries. All this, and it's still getting new tracks with regular DLC injections.

Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite is still available for its Black Friday price
Despite the arrival of Amazon’s latest entry-level Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite remains the best value in Amazon’s current Kindle lineup. Thankfully, you can currently find the 8GB, ad-supported model still discounted to just $94.99 (normally $139.99) at Amazon, Buy Buy, and Target. The ad-free model is also available at Amazon for $114.99 instead of $159.99, which remains its lowest price to date. While 8GB can still hold roughly 2,000 individual pieces of literature, if you’re planning on using your Paperwhite to listen to audiobooks, there are also substantial discounts on the 16GB model, which is on sale at Amazon for $99.99 instead of $149.99 in the ad-supported configuration or for $119.99 (normally $169.99) without ads.
Read Article >While the continued lack of physical buttons is a bit irksome, the latest Paperwhite still includes a number of subtle but welcome improvements over the prior model. It now has a 300ppi, 6.8-inch E ink display with adjustable color temperature to help reduce eye strain, as well as a battery that can last for months on a single charge and USB-C charging, allowing you to top off its battery faster than before. Just like previous models, the 2021 Paperwhite also has an IPX8 waterproof rating, so you won’t have to abandon your bathtime buddy on dry land.

Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 11 is a fun, budget-friendly gift for people of all ages.Instant cameras are popular holiday gifts, but I’ve found many print awful photos and are difficult to set up. Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 11 is great, though, because it’s easy to use and takes relatively true-to-life shots. Right now, you can pick it up for $59.99 ($17 off) at Target and Best Buy.

Must-have movies.Everything Everywhere All At Once is $10 at Amazon, and Knives Out is $8 after you press the coupon button — for the 4K UHD Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital sets.
I don’t have to justify my taste here, but I definitely can: Webster said the former “might be one of the most charmingly ridiculous movies you see this year” and was absolutely right. The latter is not only a blast, it’ll set you up for its delightfully indulgent sequel which just hit theaters.

Sony’s noise-canceling WF-1000XM4 earbuds are on sale for $100 off
Whether you’re on the hunt for an excellent pair of noise-canceling earbuds to tune out fellow passengers while traveling or simply a good gift, you can’t go wrong with Sony’s WF-1000XM4 earbuds. The XM4s remain our favorite pair of noise-canceling wireless earbuds — even when pitted against standouts like Bose’s excellent QuietComfort Earbuds II — and are a particularly good buy today given they’re currently on sale for around $178 instead of $279.99 at Amazon, Target, and Best Buy. This Black Friday price isn’t unheard of, however, it does bring the wireless earbuds back down to their lowest price to date.
Read Article >In terms of specs, the XM4s balance superb noise cancellation capabilities with excellent sound quality and long battery life. In fact, you can listen to them for eight hours with noise cancellation turned on before you’ll need to recharge them, making them perfect for long flights or road trips. They also carry an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance, so you don’t have to worry about them if they get a little wet.

iRobot’s terrific Roomba i3 Plus EVO is on sale for $200 off for Black Friday
Cleaning is probably one of the most tedious tasks for many people, which is why the right robot vacuum can make for a fantastic gift (and cat Uber, of course). And while there are plenty of heavily-discounted robovacs available right now for Black Friday — including the top-of-the-line Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and Roomba j7 Plus — the iRobot Roomba i3 Plus EVO offers great bang for your buck, especially since it’s currently available at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target promotion for around $350 ($201 off), matching its best price to date.
Read Article >In addition to doing a terrific job of cleaning your house, the i3 Plus Evo comes with a few perks that just make life easier. Its advanced mapping features, for instance, mean you can program it to clean up select rooms at certain times. Meanwhile, its support for virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant means you can control it with just your voice (or using the accompanying app, if you prefer). This particular model even features the same suction level and similar battery life as the Roomba j7, though, it’s still prone to getting stuck on cables, toys, and other items strewn about your home.

The brand-new Nerf dart-firing Halo Needler is already on sale.Nobody’s done it right before, this one looks ridiculously cool, and it’s $30 off for Black Friday even though it just came out. Admittedly that still means you’re paying $70 for a prop. Or, you could have it be half of a BOGO deal at GameStop.
If you don’t have that kind of money, you can get the almost-as-cool Halo MA40 Nerf blaster for $32 today, an unheard-of price for a previously hard-to-find blaster.

Sony, WYD?Ahead of The Witcher 3’s next-gen update arriving on December 14th, Steam and the Xbox Store have significantly cut the cost of the game, which you’re required to own to get the update. All except Sony, which is still listing digital copies for $40 or more. Hopefully, PS5 owners will soon have a chance to score a bargain, but it hasn’t happened so far on Black Friday.

I did it: I bought the Severance keycaps.Drop’s big Black Friday sale includes most of its coolest custom mechanical keyboard sets. I almost couldn’t decide: the two-tone blue Dasher for $79 (save $41) or the /dev/tty set for $89 (save $16)?
I’ve had my eye on Dasher ever since Dan showed the world how they’re basically the keys from Severance, though of course their true inspiration dates back decades. Now, they are mine.
