Black Friday 2019 is coming up fast, and some stores have already jumped the gun on delivering the deals that might get your holiday shopping done early. Walmart's among those getting in on the action, with an Early Access sale that has deals on a variety of categories, including gaming. The pre-Black Friday deals include some special console bundles and discounts on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Arcade 1UP machines, and more. You'll also find some nice PC gaming deals, markdowns on 4K TVs, and solid discounts on Apple products, including the Apple Watch.
Here's an overview of some of the best gaming and tech deals now that the sale is officially live. Be sure to check out the full offering of deals at Walmart as the early access holiday sale continues.
Xbox One S: Choice of bundle with bonus Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and extra controller | $299
This Xbox One S bundle comes with a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (which includes three hours of double XP) and the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Trilogy; plus, three different Xbox One bundles are available to choose from: NBA 2K20, Battlefield 5, or Forza Horizon 4 / Lego Speed Champions. At $299, this is a great deal for an Xbox One S, the brand-new Call of Duty, and another game of your choice.
Xbox One X: Gears 5 Limited Edition bundle | $400
The Gears 5 Limited Edition Xbox One X comes with a unique design for the 1 TB console and controller, in addition to digital download codes for Gears 5, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, and Gears of War 4--yes, the entire core series. Walmart is slashing the price down to $400. That's a pretty great deal, especially if you've been looking at upgrading to the X or haven't purchased a console this generation at all.
Arcade 1UP Machines
These arcade cabinets stand at 4 feet tall and feature several classic games, including Asteroids and Centipede. Fighting game titans Street Fighter 2 and the Mortal Kombat trilogy also have their own machines and feature in this early holiday sale, with discounts varying by machine. Featuring the original art as well as joystick and control buttons setup, this is the perfect gift for fans of retro arcade games.
Omen by HP Gaming Laptop 15.6" w/ GTX 1660 Ti | $999 ($1,399)
This great gaming laptop includes the HP Omen 400 mouse and Omen 800 headset as well, making this a solid deal for anyone looking to get into PC gaming. The laptop itself comes equipped with a GTX 1660 Ti, an i7-9750H processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. It's got quite the specs that should be able to handle any modern game at decent settings.
Vizio 65" 4K HDR Smart TV | $500
Outside the realm of gaming, Walmart also has discounts on televisions and other electronics, including two great 4K TVs from Vizio in 55- and 65-inch options. The 55-inch version is currently sold out, but even if you're waiting for Black Friday to buy a TV, the 65-inch is worth considering ahead of time. Both sets feature HDR, Apple AirPlay, and Chromecast support, in addition to Alexa/Google voice control and its own built-in smart apps like Netflix. I actually own the 55-inch version of this particular series of TV, and when paired with a soundbar, it's a great experience for gaming and movies.
Apple Watch Series 4 GPS + Cellular (44mm) | $429 ($529)
Walmart also has a slate of deals on Apple products, such as iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watch. The particular Apple Watch that's on sale features GPS and cellular as well as a 44mm Sport Loop and aluminum case.
