Good morning and welcome to the next round of annual sales! I'm here to guide you through all the biggest Cyber Monday deals for gamers over the next two days, and considering I've already been impressed by this year's Black Friday offers things are already looking strong. You'll find all my top picks from the discounts already live up above, but I'll also be bringing you all my tips and tricks for making the most of the sale, as well as any new discounts that drop, in this live coverage.
What's Cyber Monday all about?
Cyber Monday is the second annual sale of November, running some of last week's biggest Black Friday offers as well as a selection of new savings. We generally see the same kinds of price drops here as we have over the last week, but it represents another opportunity to save on some of the year's biggest tech. Essentially, we're up for round two for anyone who missed out on previous offers.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
The short answer is Cyber Monday deals don't tend to be better than Black Friday. Any stock that still remains on the shelves leftover from Black Friday is simply used for the same discounts on Cyber Monday, with a few odd additional discounts on unpopular colorways. Black Friday is generally a better time to shop for savings because there's more stock available - Cyber Monday is when we see far lower availability. However, I've noticed stock holding out particularly well in this year's discounts so far - which means this year's second sale is already looking better than ever.
Who is already on Cyber Monday mode?
Sunday is when we generally see retailers switching up from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, and while the deals are generally the same over the weekend it's worth noting who has changed their flags already. These stores could be a little quicker to drop new discounts today.
Retailers on Cyber Monday in the US
Interestingly enough I'm seeing retailers in the US go all in on Cyber Monday already, whereas the UK is still very much on that Black Friday hype.
