- I'm Andru Edwards, and you're watching Gear Live.
This video is sponsored by Turtle Beach,
and their ultimate high-performance gaming headset,
the Elite Atlas Aero,
Stay tuned to find out more.
Each year right after Thanksgiving,
crowds rush to the stores battling it out
in order to grab the items and devices
that are seemingly on a super sale,
in an annual American tradition called Black Friday.
And, Black Friday is now expanded into Cyber Monday,
and even Cyber Week,
and while there are some amazing deals out there,
a lot of them are simply not worth your time.
In this video, I've collected some of the best
tech deals that you'll find for Black Friday,
Cyber Monday, and cyber week to help you avoid the duds.
What is going on tech squad, Andru Edwards here
the editor-in-chief of gearlive.com.
And as I mentioned, Black Friday 2019 is upon us,
Cyber Monday 2019 is upon us,
and actually, nowadays,
they do a whole Cyber Week as well,
and actually on top of that a lot of these deals
are already live right now as I speak.
but the problem is a lot of these deals,
aren't really deals at all,
and they can take
your attention off some of the truly great bargains
that can be had over the next couple of weeks.
So I've been combing through the deals,
finding the best ones that I think you need to know about.
And before we jump in, just know that links
to everything I talked about
will be down in the description below, that's number one,
number two, these places want you shopping in their store,
rather than a competitor's store,
so when they see a competitor offering a deal,
they're likely to match that deal
or offer something very similar.
So because of that, the links down in the description
are going to allow you to comparison shop,
click the link and it'll show you different options
from where to buy that item for the best price.
And lastly, number three,
there are so many good deals out there,
so I picked the best ones,
but all the rest that I think are still relevant
will also be down in the description.
All right, without any further ado,
let's jump right into the first device on the list
that being the Apple Watch Series five.
This one came out about two months ago,
I didn't expect to see many deals
for the Apple Watch Series five,
or at least not as many as received for the series three,
but if you want the latest and greatest from Apple,
you can get it right now for $24 off
for both the 40 millimeter and 44 millimeter versions
at both Amazon and Costco.
Two caveats there, number one to get it from Costco,
you need to be a Costco member,
and number two, if you're getting it through Amazon,
Amazon's actually not gonna show you the discount
until you put the Apple Watch Series five into your cart,
and head over to check out.
Next up let's talk about phones,
phones are huge for the holiday season.
And you always see some great discounts on phones,
for both Black Friday, and Cyber Monday and Cyber Week,
especially when it comes to the Google Pixel.
This year, the pixel 4,
is no different despite the fact that
this phone is just about one month old,
you can already get it for $200 off.
Pixel 4, 64 gigabyte is 200 off, in both the standard
and XL sizes at Amazon, Best Buy, the Google Store,
and B&H Photo.
Pixel 4 normally costs 799,
it's now 599 for the unlock model
or 699 if you want the XL version.
If the iPhone is more your thing,
Target is offering a $200 gift card
with the purchase and activation of an iPhone 11,
iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max,
on Verizon or AT&T,
and they'll give you that same $200 gift card option
if you buy an iPhone 10S or 10S Max instead.
So pick up the 2018 or 2019 iPhone models at Target,
for that $200 Target gift card.
Best Buy will sell you an iPhone 11 Pro for 499,
which is about half price,
if you activate a new line on Verizon, AT&T or Sprint
and trade-in an older phone.
And last up for phones the Samsung Galaxy Note 10,
Note 10 Plus and Galaxy S 10 line
are all $200 off at Samsung, B&H Photo, Amazon,
and the Microsoft Store and aside from the discount,
they are also throwing in
the Samsung Galaxy buds, wireless headphones as well.
Next up let's talk about one of my favorite categories
especially during the holiday season, game consoles.
Here are some of the best deals
you're gonna find in Black Friday tech.
If you know someone who needs a PS4 pro
or Xbox One X including yourself,
there are some great deals to be had.
First up PS4 Pro $299.99,
that is $100 off the price, about one third off the price,
and that even includes bundles like the PS4 Pro console,
which includes Days Gone, Medieval
and Spider Man, all in the box.
You can find this deal at Amazon,
Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.
And then on the Xbox One X side of things,
you can get that console for 349.99 which is about $150 off
and that also includes bundles,
there's a Star Wars Jedi Fallen bundle
and there's even my personal favorite
Xbox One X bundle right here.
This is the gears five limited edition console,
but as you can see it has a custom designed controller,
custom designed console itself,
it is an Xbox One X and by the way,
also includes Years of War one, two, three, four
and five on the box,
and again, that's all for 349.99.
You can find this deal at Best Buy, Target,
Walmart and the Microsoft Store.
Now speaking of gaming,
before we head into one of the most popular categories
for Black Friday, that being TVs
I need to give a big shout out to this video sponsor

is the perfect wireless gaming headset
whether you're gaming or streaming.

The Elite Atlas Aero spots a sleek, metal headband
with suspended pad, and the ear pads
have cooling gel-infused into the memory foam cushions.
It's all adjustable to give you the best feel possible,
so you can focus on the game.
You also get an incredible 30-hours
of battery life per charge,
which is perfect for those long campaigns.
And if you need to plug-in for any reason
it also has a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack as well
allowing you to use it not just with PCs,
but also with supported game consoles like the Xbox One X,
PlayStation four, and Nintendo Switch.

links to the Turtle Beach Elite Atlas Aero
will be down in the description below.
And once again, big shout out to Turtle Beach
for sending over the Elite Atlas Aero
and for sponsoring this video.
All right up next, let's talk TVs,
TVs seems to be the most popular item on Black Friday,
people rush into the stores, knocking each other over,
grabbing TVs off the shelves left and right,
not even realizing that they're probably
not getting a great deal, especially on the door busters.
However, there are some good TV deals out there,
I'm gonna tell you about a couple of them right now
but there will be more down in the description below.
First up, the one people always asked me about OLEDs,
will there be any OLED TVs?
That will be a great deal on Black Friday,
the answer to that is yes.
This year you can get the LG B9 OLED 4K HDR TV,
that's a lot of acronyms,
but basically one of the best TVs out there
that you get right now, it's a 2019 TV,
usually it's the 2018, 2017 TVs you're gonna see on sale,
this is a 2019 TV and you can get it for $1199,
which is down from the $1400 typical price point
and that's gonna be for the 55-inch model,
you can get that deal at Amazon, Best Buy, and B&H Photo.
Now alternatively, maybe you don't want our premium TV
at a less than premium price
maybe you want more budget TV, at a budget price,
and I found one there as well.
You can get the Toshiba 50-inch Fire TV edition,
that's a 4K HDR TV, with support for Dolby Vision built-in
and that's selling for $269.99,
270 bucks for a 50-inch Smart TV,
Dolby Vision, and on top of that
when you buy this TV at Amazon or Best Buy for that price,
they will also throw in an Amazon Echo Dot,
at no extra charge.
Now let's move on over to headphones,
and specifically wireless headphones
which are all the rage right now.
The most popular headphones wired or wireless,
in the world are Apple's AirPods,
they outsell everything else
and you can actually pick-up a pair of AirPods
at a pretty nice discount right now.
Now the second generation AirPods typically cost $160,
but you can pick them up for 139.99
at Best Buy, and Walmart.
Now if over-ear, noise canceling headphones
are more your thing, you can pick up the much loved,
and much praised Sony WH1000XM3,
noise canceling, over-ear, head headphones for $278
which does sound like a lot of money
however, that's $71 off their normal price of $349.
If you know of someone
looking for over-ear, noise canceling headphones,
it's gonna be hard to beat the quality to price ratio
than this Sony headphones at 278 bucks.
Right last category in the video,
last on the list is going to be laptops
another highly requested gifts during the holidays,
but also something that a lot of people pick up
for themselves during the holiday season.
First, the latest MacBook Air,
it's the ones that just came out a few months ago,
are on sale,
you can get the latest MacBook Air
for $200 off at Best Buy in both stored configurations,
taking the price down to $999, to start,
but Best Buy didn't stop there,
you can also get 200 bucks off the cost,
of the 13-inch MacBook Pro,
and that's the latest 13-inch MacBook Pro
that came out a couple months ago as well.
So that is now starting at 1299 instead of 1499,
and then the brand new 16-inch MacBook Pro,
which just came out about two weeks ago,
you can get that for up to $300 off right now at adoram.com.
Now if you're looking for a Windows laptop instead,
the Dell G3 gaming laptop is on sale for 679.99 at Best Buy,
which is down substantially
from it's typical $1,000 price point.
You get a 15.6-inch display, 2.4 gigahertz,
Intel Core i5 processor, eight gigs of RAM,
a 512 Gigabyte PCIe fast SSD storage,
and an Nvidia 1660 Ti graphics chip for the money.
Like I said, I have even more picks,
still good deals down in the description below.
