Black Friday is very much here, and it’s time to start opening that wallet as Amazon kicks off its mega sale.
Black Friday brings with it massive sales, and of course, Amazon is going to be the place to watch over the sale period. Last year we saw some killer deals on Meta Quest headsets, as well as plenty of hardware and PC components.
After a pretty dreary Prime Day in October, we’re hoping for a lot more great deals for Black Friday – something we expect that everyone was holding back for.
Amazon’s Black Friday sales kick off on November 17 and will run through to November 27. That’s 10 days of great deals on a whole host of products.
Amazon devices sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday
Without a doubt, we’re expecting to see that Black Friday and Cyber Monday, will bring some of the better deals this year. While not as impressive as their own Prime Day sales, you can bet anything that they’ll reduce to similar prices.
You’ll find that things like Amazon Alexa will see the deepest discounts, as Amazon is laser-focused on getting them into your home.
Outside of this, you can also expect to see the Fire tablets to also go on sale. These are Amazon’s budget Android tablets, perfect for last-minute presents and for the kids. While they don’t have Google’s own software, being on Android means you’ll be able to work around that quite easily.
Other than these two, Kindles and TVs, as well as Fire Sticks, will all be deeply discounted. Amazon wants to get into your home and with low, low prices, you can be anything that they’ll eventually sneak in.
Game console Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon: Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation
As with almost every single other store, don’t expect too much on the game console front for deals. PlayStation 5s might have started to come into stock a little more often, but they also just saw a price hike.
The Xbox Series S has seen a few discounts from other stores, but whether Amazon and its sellers follow suit is another question. We expect Microsoft to do something around the Series S rather than the more expensive X, but it could hinge on Amazon’s sellers, rather than Bezos’ company itself.

However, the thing with the Switch is that it’ll be a great get, as Amazon usually reduces the Switch software down to a much lower price than other stores throughout the year.
Prebuilt PC and laptop deals
Amazon is filled with junk, so this section will be extra careful to not bring you low-end machines at high-end prices for the sake of convenience. Laptops from Amazon are a mainstay of our deals page, so there’s no real concern there.
PC and laptops should have a decent price drop this year, as we’re seeing price drops due to cryptocurrency tumbles, as well as the world getting back into shape after the last couple of years.
However, we will be sure to keep tabs on the various prebuilt PCs, as there are bound to be a couple of deals for some higher-end systems trying to match their component compatriots.
Amazon Cyber Monday PC component deals
2022 was a weird Black Friday, with components reeling from world events like the crypto bubble bursting. Now that the dust has settled and the current generation hardware has featured in a few sales already, we’re expecting this to be a bubbling hub of fantastic deals.
- Gigabyte Motherboards & power supplies – Save up to 50%
- Zotac RTX 4070 Ti (Spider-Man edition) – 10% off
- AMD CPUs (including the 7800X3D) – Save up to 48% off

Gaming peripherals and accessories deals
Without a doubt, there will be gaming peripherals and accessories included in the sales. Almost every day, Amazon has a section on their deals page that revolves around HyperX or HP, Logitech, and the like having a huge discount on a variety of headsets or mice.
TV and projector deals to look out for this Black Friday on Amazon
Amazon surprised us this year, as their low-end, 4K TVs all hit sub-$500 once discounted. It’s absolutely one of the better places to seek out TVs for kids, parents, or if you’re on a budget this year.
This is also the year you absolutely want to move from 1080p to 4K. As the panels and TVs themselves are now hitting much lower prices than ever before, we’re convinced we’ll see even bigger drops than we did on Prime Day for some of the major brands.
- LG QLED, QNED, UHD TV deals – Save up to 47%
- Samsung TVs – Thousands off a wide selection of TVs
- Smart Fire TVs – Up to 47% off
- Amazon Fire TVs – up to 45% off
