Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2014: all the best deals in one place – The Verge

The best Cyber Monday deals

2014-12-01T11:43:15-05:00

With another Black Friday behind us, the best way for you to save on anything tech-related is with the Cyber Monday deals that are blanketing the internet today. We’ve followed all the best deals for weeks now, but now we’re focused on the last gasp of holiday savings with this collection below.

If all the recent phone releases have made it hard to choose your upgrade, now’s the time to pick one. T-Mobile is selling the 64GB version of what we think is the best phone you can buy right now — the iPhone 6 — off-contract for $649. Not a fan of Apple? The best iPhone competitor around is the newest version of the Moto X, and Motorola is selling it today for $150 off. For those looking to upgrade their desktop setup, Microsoft cut the price of Dell’s 28-inch 4K display nearly in half.

Many retailers are running Cyber Monday sales all week, but these deals won’t be around the whole time, so click quickly. We’ll update this post throughout the day as they come and go, so find a cozy spot in your bookmarks folder for it and keep coming back.

Amazon cuts Fire TV price to $69 for Cyber Monday, saving you $30

2014-12-01T08:19:26-05:00

Read next: The Amazon Fire TV 2 review.

Amazon has cut the price of its Fire TV set-top box to just $69 for its Cyber Monday sale, offering a 30 percent saving on its offering in the free-for-all streaming video market. Although the Fire TV is missing a couple of important content services such as HBO Go, it’s still one of the best options out there with solid voice search and excellent benefits for Amazon Prime subscribers. If you’re already deep into the retailing giant’s ecosystem then the $30 saving might be enough to convince you to venture further down the rabbit hole of Amazon content.

Dell’s 28-inch 4K display is just $299 today

2014-12-01T07:56:23-05:00

Microsoft has a number of Black Friday and Cyber Monday laptop offers this year, but if you’re a PC desktop owner then a deal on a new 4K display might be the most tempting. Microsoft has priced Dell’s 28-inch 4K display at just $299 today, down from $499 — a saving of 40 percent. With a 3840 x 2160 4K resolution, the LED panel also includes four USB 3.0 ports, three DisplayPorts (including a Mini version), and support for HDMI. It’s worth noting this is a 30Hz monitor, so it might not be ideal for video editing, but if you’re looking for an affordable 4K display then it’s available online and at Microsoft Stores today. Other deals include a $49 Windows Phone, up to $150 off a Surface Pro 3, and $329 Xbox One bundles.

Get a 64GB iPhone 6 for the price of the 16GB model right now at T-Mobile

2014-12-01T07:31:15-05:00

Apple has always been a bit of a miser when it comes to smartphone memory, but a new Cyber Monday deal from T-Mobile has the answer: free upgrades. Buy an iPhone 6 with 16GB of memory, and the carrier will upgrade you to the 64GB model; an iPhone 5S 32GB magically becomes a 5S 64GB, and the iPhone 5C 8GB is bumped up to an iPhone 5C 32GB.

It’s a pretty flawless deal for the iPhone, which has always been hamstrung by limited storage. (And not just for apps, music, and photos – try upgrading iOS without a couple of gigabytes space to play with, and you’ll feel the need for extra memory.) However, the deal is online only, and T-Mobile says its inventory is “limited” so act fast if you’re interested.

Best Buy puts LG G Watch on sale for just $79 in time for Cyber Monday

2014-11-30T20:17:02-05:00

If you’re looking to get your hands on Android Wear for as cheap as possible, we might have a deal for you. Best Buy is selling the LG G Watch, one of the very first Android Wear devices, for $79 as part of its Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions. That’s even better than Google’s sale on the watch, and it’s $150 off the device’s list price. Now, we don’t recommend the G Watch — it’s already been superseded by a newer model and it’s been left in the dust by the competition — but it’d definitely be a bargain-basement price. It looks like it’s sold out online, but you might be able to find it at a local Best Buy near you.

Update: Best Buy is also offering a $50 Google Play credit with purchase, which makes this an incredible deal.

Massive Square Enix sale puts nearly every ‘Final Fantasy’ game ever on sale

2014-11-30T12:27:57-05:00

If you’ve been looking to buy just about any Square Enix game ever made, chances are right now might be a really good time to buy. The developer is running a massive Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale through its (admittedly outdated) online store. Over 200 games and DLC packs — available as PC downloads and hard copies for everything from next-generation consoles to the PS2, Xbox 360, and PSP — are included in the sale. Most notably, a huge selection of Final Fantasy titles are included in the sale, as are Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Island, Thief, and more.

Google’s Black Friday Android Wear promotions: $99 LG G Watch and $50 Play Store credit

2014-11-28T03:00:02-05:00

Beginning now and running through midnight on Monday, Google is throwing two deals into the three-ring circus of Black Friday (and Cyber Monday). Both are angled toward getting you to buy an Android Wear smartwatch. One of the original Android Wear devices, the LG G Watch, will be on sale for just $99. That's $130 off the list price and cheaper than you're likely to find it at most other places. It's a super good deal on a super nondescript watch, which, at the venerable age of five months, has already been surpassed by other Android Wear smartwatches.

Whether your get the G Watch or another Android Wear smartwatch from the Google Play Stor …

As to be expected, this year there are lots of deals to be had on TVs small and large, 1080p to 4K.

Steam celebrates Black Friday with deals on ‘Watch Dogs, ‘Civilization,’ and more

2014-11-26T13:34:46-05:00

Steam is getting in on the Black Friday fun with a huge collection of great deals dubbed the “Steam Exploration Sale.” It includes a pretty massive selection of games — Valve says there are “thousands of titles” on sale — and features some big-name new releases for cheap. You can grab Watch Dogs for only $29.99, for example, or Civilization: Beyond Earth for $34.99. Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s new game, The Evil Within, might just be the best deal, at only $22.60. And if you have just a few bucks, there are some great deals at the lower end as well, including Goat MMO Simulator for $5.49 and Battleblock Theater for $1.69. Valve says new deals will be added daily, so be sure to check back regularly — the sale lasts from now until December 2nd.
