Amazon has been rolling out the deals ahead of Black Friday 2019 for a while now as part of its Happy HoliDeals sale, but the biggest deals are finally starting to go live.
As with Prime Day, Amazon’s holiday deals page includes a mix of Lightning Deals–which are only available for a limited time–and longer-term deals that should be available throughout the duration of this first round of deals (or while supplies last). Following a round of early deals, the official Black Friday countdown has begun at Amazon, marking a week of deals that will run right up until November 29, Black Friday itself. Aside from this week of deals, expect one-time-only deals to launch throughout the day on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. We won’t know what those are until they’re live (thanks, Amazon).
So far, Amazon’s Black Friday sale includes many of the official offers from Sony and Microsoft. That includes an excellent PS4 Slim bundle with three console-exclusive games for $200, a limited-edition Xbox One X console with Gears 5 for $349, controllers for $39 each, and a 12-month PS Plus membership for $45, among other deals. Many of Amazon’s own smart devices are starting to see steep discounts as well, like the Fire HD 10 Tablet for $100 ($50 off) and the Kindle Paperwhite for $85 ($45 off).
Nintendo Switch console deals have been limited so far for Black Friday 2019. Later this week, Amazon will be offering the official Nintendo bundle, which is recycled from last year–the bundle will include a launch model Switch (without improved battery life) and a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. We’ll have to wait and see if Amazon offers any exceptional Switch deals on its own, but we do expect to see some nice Switch game discounts as Black Friday grows closer.

Upcoming deals:
Nintendo Switch bundle with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | $300
No, we haven’t entered a time machine and gone back to Black Friday 2018. Nintendo is offering the same Nintendo Switch holiday bundle that was available last year. For $300, you can get the Switch and a digital copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The potential snag with this bundle? It’s the launch model Switch, which means you won’t get the upgraded battery that comes with the newer Switch model released a few months back. That said, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an incredible game that normally sells for about $50.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons – $53.60
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (Gray or Neon Red/Blue) | $53.60
Nintendo’s pricey Joy-Con controllers will be down to $60 on Black Friday at many retailers, but if Amazon’s press release is correct, each pair of Joy-Cons will be available for $53.60, a full 33% off rather than 25%. It appears that only the original gray or neon red and blue Joy-Cons will be eligible for this awesome deal. Nevertheless, if you’re gifting a Switch this holiday or want to have some multiplayer fun at your holiday party, you shouldn’t pass up this deal.
