The Best Cyber Monday Tech Deals, 2018 Edition

Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving — is synonymous with viral videos of stores being nearly destroyed due to the influx of shoppers hungry for envy-inducing, once-a-year deals. Since 2005, it’s largely been considered the busiest shopping day of the year in the U.S., generating billions of dollars in sales for stores across the country. Countless news channels and bystanders have documented the mayhem that occurs around midnight, or just hours after you’ve had your last bite of pumpkin pie, after customers have lined up, often in the cold, for hours. Black Friday is unofficially the beginning of Christmas shopping, meaning that people are also lining up in pursuit of being world’s best gift-giver come December 25.

Cyber Monday, on the other hand, is the ultimate win-win. You get all the best of Black Friday's deals with none of the wild stampedes and fights over merch. In the past, we got you hip to sneaker deals and retailer discount codes, but this year, much of the best Cyber Monday scores are, unsurprisingly, tech deals. Stores like Amazon.com, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart (among others) are looking to clean up even further by giving shoppers some of the best deals they will find this holiday shopping season.

Some retailers, like Amazon, are celebrating a week's worth of Cyber Monday shopping deals, with other retailers offering big discounts on some of this season's biggest items, including the PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch, smart TVs, Apple Watches, gaming computer, and more. Whether you’re shopping for the special people in your life or you're just looking to treat yourself, here are The Best Cyber Monday Tech Deals.

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday book-ending the start of the holiday shopping season, many of PlayStation's Black Friday deals are still available for Cyber Monday.

That means that you should still be able to cop that $200 Spider-Man 1TB PlayStation 4 bundle from Best Buy. DualShock 4 wireless controllers are also running for $40 each at select retailers in a plethora of colors (Blue Camouflage color to Magma Red, Midnight Blue, Gold and Crystal).

Amazon also has deals on games, including the "Croft Steelbok Edition" of Shadow of the Tomb Raider for $49.99 ($40 off!) and the standard edition of Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 for $29.99 ($30 off!).

If Microsoft's Xbox One is more your speed, there are some awesome deals floating about.

Amazon is offering a 1TB Xbox One S Minecraft Creator Bundle for $199.99 (which is $100 off regular price), while the NBA 2K19 bundle is priced at $229.

GameStop is also offering discounts up to $30 off select Xbox One games, including Fallout 76, FIFA 19, and many more.

It's looking like the Nintendo Switch is a hot ticket item this season; word is Nintendo's latest console is selling out everywhere. Grabbing it might be hard to do this Cyber Monday, but here's a glimpse at how much you can save on it.

The Switch bundle with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is showing as out-of-stock over on Walmart's site, but their Cyber Monday deals don't kick in until midnight on November 26, so be sure to click that in-stock alert button for this bundle, which is said to be going for $299.

With a number of new iPhones hitting retailers earlier this year, you already knew Apple's signature smartphone would be getting deep discounts this holiday season.

Verizon is offering customers looking to upgrade to the iPhone X, XR, XS, or XS Max will save $100 on the device. If you're bringing your services to Verizon from another carrier, they will chop $300 off the price of the new phone.

If you're looking to take the Apple Watch plunge but aren't ready for the most recent Series 4, you're in luck. Best Buy will have the Apple Watch Series 3 on sale for $229.

Google's offering some awesome discounts on their latest smartphone, the Pixel 3. You can get the Pixel 3 for $150 off, while the Pixel 3 XL is available for $200 off. For any Pixel 3 purchased, you get six months of YouTube Premium for free.

If you haven't grabbed an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 yet, their deals still stand. Head over to Samsung.com for $200 off an unlocked Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note9.

Whether it's for yourself or for one of your loved ones, Cyber Monday is one of the best times to cop a new laptop.

Amazon is selling an Acer Chromebook 14 bundle for $263 (normally it's around $300). This deal featured 4GB of RAM, 16GB of eMMC, and even comes with its own sleeve. They also took $100 off this 12" Apple MacBook.

Best Buy is offering Google's Pixelbook for $699. That's a $300 discount for a device that's touchscreen with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB solid-state drive.

The best way to get your binge on is with a dope TV. Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, Cyber Monday might be your best bet at catching a great deal.

Amazon's offering a "Fire TV edition" of this 50" Toshiba 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV for $299, which is 25 percent off its regular price.

Looking for a bigger screen? Best Buy has a 70" LG 4K TV for $700, but word is this is only available in-store.
