Black Friday 2017: Best Buy deals on consoles and games

Best Buy’s Black Friday deals have cropped up online, showing that the retailer is offering up many of the same prices as other stores this Thanksgiving season. There’s one big benefit to Best Buy’s offerings, though: According to its Black Friday ad, many of these deals will be available both in stores and online on Thanksgiving day.

Still, it may be the safer bet to drop by brick-and-mortar Best Buy locations on Thanksgiving, when tickets will be handed out around 3 p.m. local time. (Doors officially open at 5 p.m.) That’s because there are several huge price cuts on things like consoles, which are sure to go fast. There’s also a huge number of some of our favorite games of 2017 on sale, with the selection varying a bit from that of other places, like Target, Costco, Dell and Kohl’s.
