After weeks of teasing us with its collection of Doorbuster deals, Best Buy has finally kicked off its proper Black Friday sale, with all the big discounts you'd expect, alongside a few handy surprises as well.
Best Buy's official sale runs from November 20–29, and will likely carry most of its deals to the Cyber Monday sale from November 30–December 1 as well.
I'll leave some of my favorite deals in the sale just below, but it's totally worth having a proper gander through Best Buy's full sale to ensure you don't miss a thing. There are discounts on 4K TVs, laptops, games, tech, and a whole lot more.
PlayStation's Black Friday sale also just kicked off, so there's a whole bunch of new gaming goodies up for grabs in the sale at Best Buy now as well. That includes $100 off PS5 consoles, $20 off DualSense controllers, and a whole bunch of games discounted as well.
Discounts on recently released Konami games are another highlight, including Silent Hill f and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, both $20 off and down to $49.99 in the sales.
It's worth checking out Best Buy's Doorbuster deals as well, especially if you're a Plus or Total member. Members get a $5 bonus reward for every $50 spent on Doorbusters, up to $25.
That includes $40 off EA Sports games, such as FC 26, Madden NFL 26, College Football 26, and more.
While it's already been live for a few days, it's also still worth mentioning that the Meta Quest 3S 128GB model has dropped to $249, while the 256GB is down to $329.99.
On top of that, Best Buy is throwing in a bonus $50 gift card with your purchase of either headset. Great for those who are looking to play the new Deadpool VR game or Batman: Arkham Shadow.
LEGO is among the other killer deals that are already available already at Best Buy. You can check out the full sale here, but the two biggest sets to consider for any LEGO aficionados out there are the Bumblebee Transformers set and the Fortnite Peely Bones set.
The Bumblebee set is great because you can actually transform it from robot to car form without having to take it apart and rebuild it. It's also the lowest price we’ve seen yet. And it’s a killer set – just check out our experience building it.
If you’re hunting for toys in general, you should also keep an eye on Walmart. Its Black Friday sale starts November 25, and that’s usually when the bigger toy markdowns show up. In short, don’t panic about the empty shelves yet on other toys and LEGO, more deals are scheduled to hit next week.
Best Buy 2025 Black Friday Schedule
Amazon also kicked off its proper Black Friday sales from November 20, so we can expect a lot of price matching going on between the two big retailers in the run up to Black Friday proper on November 28.
With PlayStation and Xbox's deals also now live, the next big sale push will be from Nintendo, with its official Black Friday sale kicking off November 23.
Basically, don’t hold your breath for any meaningful Switch game discounts before that date.
If you miss the window in November, Best Buy will roll out its Last-Minute Savings event from December 15 to 24. Sure, it’s an option, but you’re better off wrapping things up earlier.
Stores get packed, deliveries get sketchy, and leaving it that late is asking for trouble.
