Black Friday is happening starting at 6 pm of Thanksgiving on November 27 and this early, major US retailers have already gave previews of the big discounts that they intend to offer their consumers.
All eyes are obviously on the latest gaming consoles from Sony and Microsoft, which due to their soaring popularity have practically become the ideal Holiday Season gifts both for the young and the young at heart.
It is no longer surprising to know that major US retailers will have PlayStation 4 and Xbox One deals and bundles up their sleeves come the big Black Friday retail sales day, reports The Gospel Herald.
The good thing about this year's Black Friday deals for console gaming enthusiasts is that they don't have to go to the stores and join the throngs of people emptying store shelves and lining up to pay in cashiers because it's online.
Dell is the first to make a move for its Black Friday offering. In a leaked advertisement, Dell has offered impressive bundles for both the PS4 and Xbox One, reports Gamezone.
GottaBe Mobile refers to it as the first true PS4 Black Friday 2014 deal as Dell will be bundling the PS4 with the "Grand Theft Auto V" and "The Last of Us Remastered" for only $399.99, giving a whooping $120 off on the actual retail price.
Dell shall also be offering an Xbox One Holiday Bundle that includes the console and "Assassin's Creed Unity" and "Black Fag" for only $329.99, a $70 savings, notes Gamezone.
The Gospel Herald said Dell has already made the Xbox One deal available now and come Black Friday, it will give an additional $20 price cut.
Walmart has also released their Black Friday sales ad featuring discounts on the latest gaming consoles, the report said.
The retailer's Xbox One discount packages include the Xbox One Starter Bundle for $379, the Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle for $349, and its exclusive Xbox 360 500GB Blue Edition bundled with Call of Duty Ghosts and Call of Duty Black Ops for only $249.
Walmart's PlayStation bundle includes the PlayStation 3 as an exclusive 12GB starter edition for only $179, cites The Gospel Herald.
Best Buy is planning a one-day sale at selected stores on November 8 where it will be bundling the Xbox One console with a one-year subscription to Xbox Live Gold. The following day, Best Buy will have an even bigger sale, reports Polygon.
Best Buy will be offering a 'buy one and get one for half the price' deal for all Nintendo 3DS games on November 9 but Target upped the sale ante by its 'buy two and get one free' pitch on all games for all platforms, notes The Gospel Herald.
"While these are both pre-Black Friday sales, we expect further discounts during the holiday sale itself," the report said.
