As with Amazon, Walmart, and other major tech companies, Apple has a bunch of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for shoppers this Thanksgiving holiday. Unlike most other companies, however, Apple isn't slashing the prices on its products -- rather, buyers will receive an Apple Gift card as part of the purchase, which can be used to buy something else later on. Is the gift card deal ultimately worth it?
Nintendo today revealed the Black Friday deals it'll be offering when the time comes later this month. Nintendo is typically hesitant to give games and consoles any kind of discount, making Black Friday one of the few times to buy each year. Unfortunately, many of these deals are similar or even outright the same as sales we've seen in years past, though there are still some significant discounts to be found.
Hulu, one of the cheapest streaming services on the market, has launched a new Black Friday deal for people who have never subscribed to the service. New customers are offered a year of service on the platform at a highly discounted rate (though it only covers the ad-supported plan), effectively making it the cheapest paid on-demand video subscription option right now for eligible customers.
The folks running the Nintendo games store just publicized a so-called "Cyber Deals" sale in said store. Today we're going to run down the games that jump out at us, letting you know what's worth buying, and what's better skipped. The price cuts you're looking at here are mostly good if you've been waiting for a price cut that's good enough, but not necessarily "must buy" as such.
It isn't exactly a secret that Black Friday is going to look a lot different this year than it usually does, but that's not stopping companies from announcing their Black Friday deals. Today, Nintendo did just that, revealing the Nintendo Switch bundle it will offer on Black Friday. If you've paid attention to Nintendo's previous Switch bundles, the one it has lined up for Black Friday 2020 might seem a bit familiar.
One of the biggest retailers in the United States, Walmart, has made some big changes to how it will deal with Black Friday this year in light of the pandemic and the challenges it presents. Rather than having one big Black Friday shopping 'holiday,' the company says it will split the promotions up into three separate 'events' throughout November with various safety measures and other changes in place.
The pandemic will, as with everything else this year, have a major impact on the biggest retail shopping day of the year: Black Friday. Though shopping online to skip the crowds has become increasingly popular, many people still make plans to hit up physical retail stores, and that'll be a problem in places where social distancing mandates are still necessary. For its part, retailer Target has detailed the additional measures it will roll out to keep customers safe this holiday season.
This may not come as a very big surprise to you, but both Black Friday and Cyber Monday were big days for Amazon. We'd expect those two days to be important for any retailer as large as Amazon, but today the company gave us a better idea of just how successful they were. For starters, Amazon confirmed that Black Friday 2019 was the biggest Black Friday in the company's history.
Black Friday is nearly here, and that means plenty of deals on games and consoles. This year, Nintendo is mostly sticking to the same deals it offered last year, offering a console bundle that essentially nets you a free copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe instead of a discount on the Switch itself, along with discounts on some Joy-Con variants and games both at retail and through the eShop. Before you decide to take the plunge on that Switch bundle, however, you need to consider what you're getting.
Nearly a week after Nintendo announced a Black Friday eShop sale for Europe, the company today finally confirmed a similar sale for the US. Nintendo's eShop discounts for the US begin today and run until the beginning of December, giving Switch owners plenty of time to peruse the deals. While there are a number of games on sale during this promo, this could be particularly good for those who have been waiting for price drops on some of the Switch's first-party titles.
Black Friday is still a little more than a week away, but Microsoft has kicked off its Xbox game deals early for certain folks. If you're subscribed to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can now peruse the digital game deals Microsoft is offering for Black Friday. The sale will run until December 2nd, giving you about a week and a half to pick up any games you may want.
We're days away from Thanksgiving and that means, for many consumers, that it's time to start shopping for the holidays. Here to usher that in is consumer holiday Black Friday when a number of companies will discount their items and launch various deals (and pseudo-deals) to lure in customers. For gaming enthusiasts, Microsoft has unveiled its upcoming Xbox Black Friday deals.
