Amazon Drops a Bunch of New Black Friday Deals for 2025 Ahead of the Weekend

Amazon officiall kicked off its Black Friday sale of 2025 yesterday, a full week early, and the discounts so far are
actually
quite good. As part of the IGN Deals Team, I have been covering the
early Black Friday sales
all November long, and these deals are the first I’ve seen that truly give off Black Friday vibes. If you’re planning on doing some deals shopping this year
,
there’s really no reason not to start right now. Amazon has already dropped a bunch of new deals on day two of its official sale and we expect more to arrive over the weekend.
Amazon released a
preview of what deals to expect
a couple of weeks back, so there aren’t many surprises here. Amazon’s own devices have all dropped in price, headphones are getting big discounts, and there are TV deals pretty much everywhere. Perhaps the most notable surprise here is
Amazon’s Resale coupon
coming back so soon after Prime Big Deal days. If you don’t mind buying used, this promotion can save you a ton ahead of Black Friday.
To help you sort through all of these early deals, I’ve cut down the list to only the top 58 discounts I think are worth your time. Each of these products (or services) is currently at the lowest prices of 2025 and is unlikely to drop any further as we get closer to Black Friday proper.
The 58 Best Amazon Black Friday Deals Today
Some of the most notable deals so far are of course Amazon’s own devices. The
Fire TV sticks were discounted before the official sale
started and I’d expect those deals to last all the way through Cyber Monday. The same goes for the Ring Doorbell deal that seems to be the same during every Amazon sale so far this year
Amazon Device Deals
Both the
Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Colorsoft have dropped to the lowest prices
we’ve seen all year as well, making it a great time to pick up one of the
best reading tablets
if you don’t already have one. Amazon is also running a $0.99 for three months deal on
Kindle Unlimited subscriptions
as well, but the discount is only available for those who haven’t recently had a subscription.
And if reading isn’t really something you have time for right now, the classic
Audible deal has returned
and you can get that service for only $0.99 per month for the first three months. I’d definitely recommend trying that out, even to just listen to the
new full-cast Harry Potter Audiobook
, which I thought was actually really good.
Console Gaming Deals
The console deals have now fully kicked off now that the
PlayStation Black Friday sale is live
everywhere. These discounts include a
ton of PS5 games
as well as price cuts on PS5 consoles and the
PlayStation Portal
. For Switch owners, there’s the
Samsung 512GB microSD express card
that is compatible with Switch 2. There are also a few games discounted and a surprisingly good deal on an Xbox controller. Microsoft revealed its
official Black Friday Xbox deals yesterday
, but there was a lack of consoles.
Apple Deals
Although
Apple is planning on having a Black Friday sale
, a lot of the
best Apple deals are already at Amazon
. We’re seeing the lowest price ever on multiple AirPods models, and good deals on MacBooks and
the latest iPad
as well. Some of these discount might improve as more sales join the fray next week, but for now these are still pretty good.
PC Gaming Deals
Some of the surprising deals here are on gaming PCs and gaming laptops.
Dell kicked off its Alienware sale
earlier this week, but these are the first decent Amazon deals we’ve seen all month. I’d definitely expect these deals to go quickly, so jump on them now while they are still available.
4K Blu-ray Movies and TV Shows
If you’re a physical media collector, Amazon has already dropped quite a few good 4K UHD deals of note. There are complete box sets, like
Friends: The Complete Series in 4K
and the entirety of Game of Thrones, both at their lowest prices ever. There are also quite a few
anime Blu-rays getting discounts
, including
Studio Ghibli’s Grave of Fireflies Steelbook
dropping to its lowest price ever.
TV Deals
Seeing as we’re not even in Black Friday week yet, the TV deals have not fully ramped up just yet. There are some really good deals on Roku TVs as well as the Samsung Frame TV and Hisense CanvasTVs, but a lot of the bigger discounts will likely be saved for actual Black Friday. If you’re looking to upgrade you sound setup though, there are some really
good Sonos deals worth checking out
before next week.
Will There Be More Amazon Black Friday Deals Later?
While it’s true that this
is
Amazon’s official Black Friday sale, not
all
of the deals are live yet. Amazon and
Best Buy
are the only two retailers who have launched “official” sales so far, so what we’re seeing here is only the first round of big deals before Black Friday proper. Amazon will discount items that other sales drop prices on, like the
AirPods Pro 3 deal at Best Buy
, so other sale start dates matter here.
The next round will actually start on Sunday when a few different sales go live. There was also the
Nintendo Black Friday announcement
a few weeks back, that stated the official Nintendo sale would be starting on November 23, so there’s unlikely to be many Switch games on sale until then. Most of the video game deals available now are thanks to
GameStop’s early Black Friday sale
starting this week, but rest assured that more are on their way. Target has also revealed that it will now start its sale on Sunday, November 23
via its weekly ad as well
. Amazon has been matching Target sales all month long and is sure to do so again.
What we’re seeing here is only the first round of good deals before Black Friday proper.
Outside of video games and consoles, you may have noticed that there is a significant lack of good LEGO deals in this round one of Amazon’s Black Friday sale. That’s most likely because the
LEGO Store Black Friday sale
doesn’t actually begin until
actual
Black Friday. Some discounts will be available early, but
I’d expect the bulk of the LEGO deals to drop on November 28
. There will likely be even more toy deals before that
when the Walmart Black Friday sale goes live
on November 25.
You Don’t Need a Prime Membership to Shop These Sales
Amazon doesn’t require you to have a
Prime membership
to access its Black Friday sale. Unlike
Prime-exclusive events
like Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days, Black Friday is open to everyone. There are some exceptions to that, and you may run into some deals marked “Prime Deal”, but for the most part you shouldn’t run into any issues if you don’t have a subscription.
There are quite a few
benefits available
to Prime members that can be helpful during Black Friday shopping, however. Most notably the free shipping comes in handy if you’re buying anything for less than $35. There are a couple of
different free trial options
available to new subscribers you can check out during this sales event, with the base option giving you 30-days free.
How to Check Amazon Deals Are Actually Good
A lot of what the IGN Deals team does on a daily basis is look for price drops on the products shoppers are most interested in, so knowing historical pricing information is a key part of that. Even outside of Black Friday and other shopping events for my job, I end up using
CamelCamelCamel
on pretty much anything I buy on Amazon to make sure whatever discount is listed is actually worth my time. There’s even a Chrome extension called ”
The Camelizer
” that is just as awesome as the name would suggest.
