Google’s new Nexus 7 is one of our favorite small tablets on the market, and there’s a pretty solid Cyber Monday deal for the device going on now through eBay. Adorama, a huge photo- and tech-focused retailer based in New York City, is selling brand-new 2013 Nexus 7 tablets with 32GB of storage for only $229.00 today, $40 less than they retail for on Google Play. Another retailer known as ShopDivvy has the 16GB 2013 model available for $169.99, $59 less than on Google Play — however, these models are factory-refurbished, if that’s a concern to you. Both retailers are offering free shipping, as well, making it an all-around solid price for one of the best tablets on the market. But both retailers say stock is limited — don’t wait around if you’re interested.

Barnes & Noble is bringing many of its best Black Friday deals back for Cyber Monday, and it’s adding in one big new one as well: it’s offering the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight for $49 today, down from its regular price of $99. Other big deals have returned, including the $39 price for the Nook Simple Touch and the 50 percent discount on select books and book box sets.

To help you fill up one of those e-readers, Barnes & Noble has also discounted thousands of Nook ebooks by between 60 to 80 percent and put a $4.99 price on every single Volume 1 entry in DC Comics’ New 52 series. Sales on DVDs, Blu-rays, educational toys and games, magazine subscriptions, calendars, and more are also being advertised — and in the event that you find something that isn’t explicitly on sale, Barnes & Noble is offering a single-use coupon for 25 percent off one non-sale, non-digital item too.

Cyber Monday 2013

It may have been invented as a cynical marketing move to force people to spend more money, but Cyber Monday has the edge on Black Friday by not asking you to actually leave the house. Many retailers this year have decided to roll their Black Friday deals on over the weekend until today; others have introduced some reasonable discounts on electronics and other big-box goods.

On December 1st at midnight, Cyber Monday begins — and Amazon is of course offering plenty of reasons to go shopping online.

Steam has just kicked off its Autumn Sale 2013, which offers deals on a range of downloadable games from now until December 3rd. The twist is that the sales change each day, so you’ll have to check back regularly. The first set of daily deals includes nine different games, with a nice mixture of indie titles and bug budget blockbusters — here’s the full list.

  • Terraria for $2.49 (regularly $9.99)
  • Antichamber for $4.99 (regularly $19.99)
  • Rogue Legacy for $5.09 (regularly $14.99)

For one day only, Motorola will be lowering the cost of all off-contract Moto X smartphones by $150. That means the 16GB model will be just $349.99. The Cyber Monday discount is valid for all carriers, both 16GB and 32GB storage capacities, and the special Developer Editions available only via its website. Motorola warns that “supplies will be limited” and the company says it will be providing more details soon. Thankfully since Moto Maker customization is now available for all US carriers, you’ll have plenty of color options if you do decide to take advantage of the sale.

The 16GB Moto X is currently priced at $499.99 off contract, so presumably it will be available for $349.99 on Cyber Monday. (The 32GB model should come in at a slightly higher $399.99.) That puts it right on par with Google’s Nexus 5, adding the benefits of personalization and Motorola’s exclusive software features. If those are what you’re after, Monday looks like the day to buy.

GameStop seems like it’s ready for the biggest shopping day of the year. After hiring an additional 17,000 people to help staff its stores, the company has today announced its range of Black Friday deals. Its list isn’t as expansive as the offerings of Best Buy or Amazon, but there are some good deals here, like Battlefield 4 for $24.99 — less than half its MSRP. Here’s the full list, all of which are only available on Friday:

  • Xbox 360 with 250GB hard drive, Halo 4, and Tomb Raider for $199 (regularly $249.99)
  • Xbox 360 with 20GB hard drive and extra wireless controller for $99.99

Unlike many of its peers, GameStop has elected not to open on Thanksgiving Day, and instead open at 12:01AM on November 29th — Black Friday itself. Keep your eyes peeled, though. GameStop also plans to offer another set of deals for Cyber Monday, which is the Monday following Black Friday.
