Top Five Black Friday 2019 Deals from US Best Buy, Target and Walmart Flyers

By Simon Hung

Black Friday 2019 is less than two weeks away and you can see this year's American deals now in US Black Friday flyers from Target and Walmart! Best Buy US has also unveiled their Black Friday deals on the American Best Buy website, but it's more of a categorized list instead of a traditional flyer.

As per tradition, you'll find plenty of deals on big-name electronics including televisions, video games and smart home tech, but perhaps more importantly -- these flyers provide a glimpse at the products we'll likely see on sale at Canadian retailers once our flyers are released.

We've picked five deals from each retailer to give you an idea of the deals you'll find across the border this Black Friday -- note that all prices reflect US dollars.

Best Buy -- stores open Thursday, November 28 at 5:00 PM

  • Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K - $24.99 (regularly $49.99)
  • Google Home Mini, 1st Generation - $19.99 (regularly $49.00)
  • Hisense 65" 4K HDR Android Smart TV - $299.99 (regularly $499.99)
  • Microsoft Xbox One X 1TB Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Bundle - $349.99 (regularly $499.99)
  • Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones - $279.99 (regularly $349.99)

Target -- stores open Thursday, November 28 at 5:00 PM

  • Amazon Echo Dot, 3rd Generation - $22.00 (regularly $49.99)
  • Apple iPad 10.2" with Wi-Fi, 32GB - $249.99 (regularly $329.99)
  • Element 65" 4K HDR Roku Smart TV - $279.99
  • Google Nest Hub - $79.00 (regularly $129.00)
  • Samsung 65" NU6900 4K HDR Smart TV - $479.99 (regularly $699.99)

Walmart -- stores open Thursday, November 28 at 6:00 PM

  • Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS, 38mm - $129.00 (regularly $199.00)
  • Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart 7-in-1 Cooker - $49.00 (regularly $79.00)
  • Nintendo Switch games including Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - $30.00 (regularly up to $59.99)
  • Philips 65" 4K Android Smart TV - $278.00
  • PlayStation 4 1TB Only on PlayStation Bundle - $199.99 (regularly $299.99)

There are several excellent deals on smaller items like standalone Nintendo Switch games and smart speakers with prices at under $30.00 USD, but as with most previous years, televisions dominate the Black Friday ads for all three American stores, with prices starting at under $280.00 USD for some 65" 4K sets -- for reference, the lowest-priced 65" television with Black Friday pricing at Best Buy Canada is $599.99, though that may be subject to change as more Canadian Black Friday deals are released.

Remember to visit the RedFlagDeals Black Friday page over the next week to see the latest Black Friday 2019 news, tips and first-looks at Canadian Black Friday flyers as they're released!

    • The disappointment regarding the older platform bc on PS4 is understandable. That being said, I'm expecting at least everything on PS4 to work on PS5 games and accessories.
      Given they are both x86-based and both AMD-based (GPU as well) I think the only reason PS4 games would not be supported on PS5 is greediness!

      Wait for another deal like this. I ordered my 1TB PS4 for $230 from Bed Bath Beyond after I stumbled upon that thread in Black Friday 2017.

      $230 in 2017! I would definitely wait for the actual Black Friday 2019 deals for this console. $200-220 CAD should be a real possibility.
      Even more an indicator as to why $200-250 should be the regular price for these consoles by now; BF/BD should bring them down even further. Instead Sony and MS are getting away with robbery.

    • And why would one "jump on board" PS4 for this ludicrous price when, for practical purposes it has maybe two years left of steam in it, if that? Pay 60% the price for the 20-25% of its lifespan as a current-gen console? At least Xbone S is cheaper and can be used as a UHD-BD player.

      An amazing system with 3 exclusives, a 6 year library of games ( they don't expire when the PS5 comes out) plus another 2-3 years of being supported, I get this is redflagdeals but $249 is completely fine with me. It maintained its price during it's lifespan for one simple reason, it sold extremely well and there was never a need to lower the price, it's now the 2nd best selling console of all time.

    • The bundle or the price? I'm 100% confident that we'll be getting the bundle, just like we did last year with the Spider-Man bundle.
      Is it really worth it though? Year after year they just sell these same old systems for...the same price! How is that even possible? Systems get older, upgraded versions (Pro, X) come out, new versions in the near future (5, Scarlett), and they still keep selling these same old systems every BF for the same old price and call it a deal! How are these not the reg. prices already? Way things are going PS5 will come out and they'll still be trying to sell PS4 for $260 on BF in 2021, while pretending it's a "deal" :lol:

      For PS4, I think this will "only" be the second year in a row at this price point; for Xbone S it will be the third where we're seeing it sell for the "doorcrasher" price of $229 :rolleyes: Still selling the PS4 for $260 CAD seems pretty bonkers given it's a 6-year-old console now. I mean the PS3, wasn't that around $200 by the time it was 6yrs old? Plus that started out at a way higher price than PS4, yet PS4 is still going for what? Like 60%+ its original price...after 6 years? Crazy.

      And why would one "jump on board" PS4 for this ludicrous price when, for practical purposes it has maybe two years left of steam in it, if that? Pay 60% the price for the 20-25% of its lifespan as a current-gen console? At least Xbone S is cheaper and can be used as a UHD-BD player.

      Feel bad for the kids these days, more so for their parents. Then again it may be their own stupidity for paying the reg. prices for this stuff, the rest of the year, instead of refusing.

      Don't even get me started on the ludicrous controller prices these days--though these tend to go on sale at more reasonable prices more times per year than the consoles.

    • Yes the original media brief is months old but these are official statements so nothing has changed from targeting full bc with PS4.
      I am saying there has never been a BC statement on the actual specs and "targeting PS4 BC" is a lot different than "guaranteeing PS4 BC in the official specs", as we've seen in the recent "we're working on confirming the BC" more-recent statements. As I said, many of these older articles have been updated to state "possible PS4 BC".

      Things change and you have to keep up on the news.

      Again, I am not saying that Sony won't come through, only that they have released similar statements (PS2 compatibility on PS4) that turned out to be a total scam, and required a rebuy through PS2 Classics or a sub to PS Now. Sony is great with playing word games and saying one thing, yet we later find out it means another.

      Personally, I think there will be some form of PS4 BC, but a limited version that only works on a selection of games, and Sony will falsely blame the new haptic controller for not allowing XYZ games to work.

    • "Because it’s based in part on the PS4’s architecture, it will also be backward-compatible with games for that console." From their official announcement in WIred. https://www.wired.com/story/exclusive-s ... n-console/
      LOL, that was from the initial media reports way, way, way back in April :lol: :lol: :lol: and that is not "official" as in published in their specs. Many of these April reports have been updated to stated "possible PS4 BC".

      You should really keep up on current news, as Sony's latest (like 2-4 weeks ago) reports show Sony hedging their bets on PS4 compatibility and virtually every gaming pub has posted a story on it. Sony may still come through on the customer's side (for once), but they also might pull another scam like the "PS2 compatibility", whereby it was through a re-buy of PS2 Classics for PS4, NOT the ability to play existing PS2 games you already own. Or the statements of the "PS4 is already PS3-compatible... and we are able to do that through PS Now".

      https://www.gamesradar.com/ps5-backwards-compatibility/

      "a representative from Sony Interactive Entertainment's Public Relations unit stated that the PS5 "dev team is putting all power on verifying whether they can secure a complete compatibility. Please wait for more information."

    • I'm already planning on the PS5 being $650+ here. $500USD (the estimated price) converts to $658CDN today.

      I'd still endorse this deal if you are looking to get a PlayStation soon, whatever reason you may have.
      Honestly, the time to buy it was like 3 years ago when they had all those $299+games/controller deals on BF/BD, especially those that had "no tax" offers. That RCSS/Loblaws deal for a PS4 Slim + Game + $25 GC + no tax for $298 has still yet to be beat.

      At this point (assuming the PS5 ever gets free BC for digital and discs) I would bite the bullet and just start saving for next-gen.

    • they've confirmed it should be able to play PS4 games as well.
      Do you have a link to that announcement, as the last update I heard (maybe a month ago) Sony was hedging their bets on "whether it could be done".

      https://www.gamesradar.com/ps5-backwards-compatibility/

      "Essentially, there's still a lot of questions surrounding PS5 backwards compatibility, how it will work, the extent of the supported library, and whether it'll be a free feature, or part of Sony's PS Plus subscription service."

      Previous and erroneous PS5 BC articles have been updated with terms like "seemingly" and "possible" - not saying Sony won't come through, but they've screwed up before (the PS4 BC with PS2 for example) and for the record, the company has NEVER officially iron-clad promised full PS4 BC nor has this been part of their official specs.

    • I don't know about you folks, but I think living the dream is having a silly-large panel in every room of use with programming following me around my abode.

      At $279 USD, it's almost worth the waste of money to make it happen.
      A dream I had long ago was a room all covered in tvs to be able to have every hockey game on and other sporting events all at once. The dream still lives although now I would mix in video games and only watch certain sports .... NFL is dead to me and so is MLB so yeah the lineup would be different.

      Anyway you get what you want. Live the dream. Only one life to live. As for me eh not in the position to get that many tvs right now that I would need.

      Agree 100%. I waited one year to buy the Xbox one and ended up getting a lower price and 3 games, 2 of which I got to pick and sold for like $50 each. I've waited this whole generation for the PS4 to come to the end of it's life so I could buy it, I'm going to grab it this BF and enjoy playing all the exclusives I didn't get a chance to play. In 2021-2022 when the dust has started to settle on the next gen I'll make my decision on which system to purchase. I'm older and don't have a ton of time to devote to gaming so waiting a bit is always the way for me. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy the PS4 it will stay well supported until 2022 plus the library.

    • Just wanting to inform everybody, specifically about the PS4 deal, while it is an amazing deal without a doubt, the PS5 is on its way next year aiming for holiday season and they've confirmed it should be able to play PS4 games as well.

      I mention this because if you do hold out another year, you can pocket that ~$250-300 from this year and have a huge headstart on paying for the PS5 which is probably going to clock in around 300-500. Due to backwards compatibility (the ability to play PS4 games), you also won't miss out on the library of PS4 games while also getting the very latest system. Heck, if they come out with a PSVR 2 headset, you could use that headstart money on that as well.

      This also applies to anyone looking for Xbox deals, the next one is also coming out in 2020 and should also retain the ability to play Xbox One games.

      But if none of that is of interest to you, by all means jump on the deals when it hits Canada.
      Why not wait forever?

      1. Someone eying this deal wants to play some games now.
      2. Anyone who has not bought a PS4 yet is highly unlikely to be a PS5 early adopter.
      3. The PS5 will be $600-700 CDN + games. PS4 hits like these will be $20-30 each.

      This place sometimes.... but thanks for the ‘information.’

    • I don't think there is any chance the PS5 debuts near $300 in Canada. I've read anywhere between $399-$499 US as the launch price next year, and Canada's dollar is at 65-67 cents to the US dollar right now. Unless there is a major change in our dollar, I'd assume the PS5 costs over $500 in Canada on it's release.
      It will be $600 after conversion and I am already looking for a second job. I'll be ready when the giant enemy crab drops and Riiiiiidge Racerrrrrr.
