Costco reveals its Black Friday deals for 2018, with the company offering discounts on Xbox One X and Xbox One S bundles, iPads, and Samsung TVs throughout the month.
Black Friday is almost here, and many retailers are preparing for the annual shopping holiday. Despite it being a few weeks away, Black Friday deals are already rolling in, as tech and gaming stores work hard to entice customers ahead of time. This is good news for gamers, because it means they can plan where to shop in advance.
Following the deals revealed by Target and eBay, membership-only warehouse chain Costco has unveiled some of its Black Friday offers, too. Costco will be discounting Xbox One X and Xbox One S bundles between November 22-26. The Xbox One S with two controllers and three months of Xbox Game Pass will cost just $229, down from $299.99 while the Xbox One X with Forza Horizon 4 and three months of Xbox Game Pass will be $429 instead of its usual $499.
For those unaware, the Xbox Game Pass gives players access to first-party Xbox One titles such as State of Decay and Sea of Thieves from the day that they launch. As such, it could be a good way for players to try games before they buy them outright.
There’s also an Xbox One S bundle that includes the 1TB version of the console, a copy of Minecraft, and three months of Xbox Game Pass for $100 (online only, starts November 18). That offer sounds quite similar to Best Buy‘s Xbox One S discount, so at least players have an extra option if stock sells out. For those who prefer to build virtual muscle rather than virtual worlds, Costco will also have an Xbox One S with Madden 19, FIFA 19, two controllers and three months of Game Pass for $70 off (online only, starts November 18).
Costco will be hosting Black Friday deals all month long, and the savings on Xbox One bundles may not be the only thing that catches consumers’ eyes. For example, the iPad 9.7-inch with 128GB is discounted to $349.99 down from $399 until November 16. Between November 16-26, gamers can also bag themselves a 43-inch Samsung 4K TV for $279.99 (down from $360) or the 65-inch for $649.99 (down from $749.99). The 32-inch LG gaming monitor (2K resolution) will also be discounted by $200 between November 22-26 though that deal will only be available online.
While lots of retailers have already begun to promote their Black Friday deals – including Walmart and Dell – there are quite a few retailers who have barely even started. So, those looking for the best deals would do well to keep their eyes peeled for the rest of our Black Friday coverage.
