When Does Cyber Monday 2019 Start? Best Gaming Deals At Amazon, Walmart, And More

With Black Friday 2019 officially behind us, we’re turning our eyes forward to Cyber Monday, which is really just an extension of this weekend’s shopping bonanza. Because so many people now choose to shop online for Black Friday rather than shove through brick-and-mortar stores for doorbuster deals, the weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is now just as ripe for deals as Friday itself and basically blends the two shopping holidays together. That said, there’s still plenty to look forward to in the way of deals this Cyber Monday, if Black Friday was any indication of this year’s discounts.

What is Cyber Monday, exactly?

Cyber Monday is basically just more Black Friday madness, except you’re probably sitting at a desk pretending to work while browsing deals. The online shopping holiday is relatively new, dating back only to 2005, and it was created to encourage people to shop online and to compete with brick-and-mortar stores’ sales on Black Friday.

Don’t expect to see any deals on Cyber Monday that are better than what we saw on Black Friday, but you may see some of the most popular deals return, as retailers will hold back stock in order to have enough to sell on Cyber Monday. So if you didn’t snag that coveted console or game deal during Black Friday, you may have a chance on Monday.

When does Cyber Monday 2019 start?

Cyber Monday is always the Monday after Thanksgiving, and this year, that falls on December 2. However, deals will start at midnight or even earlier, depending on the store. Here’s what we know in terms of Cyber Monday start times for Amazon, Walmart, and more.

Amazon

Amazon’s Cyber Monday 2019 sale has begun already. You can check out the Cyber Monday Countdown on its homepage now, along with the pre-Cyber Monday deals. Expect the best deals to launch on Monday, however.

Walmart

Walmart has confirmed its Cyber Monday sale will begin at 12:01 AM ET on Monday, meaning Pacific Coast shoppers can get started around 9 PM on Sunday.

Best Buy

Best Buy’s Black Friday sale runs through Sunday, and some of those deals will extend into Monday. However, one-day-only deals will also launch on Monday. No start time has been given.

Target

How to find the best Cyber Monday deals

While most major retailers will have competitive pricing during Cyber Monday, we’ve seen the best deals at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. GameStop’s deals were fairly lackluster during Black Friday, so don’t expect to find the best gaming deals at the brick-and-mortar retailer. However, look beyond the major retailers, and you’ll likely find even better prices at digital stores like Ebay, Rakuten, and Google Shopping. By offering various promo codes, these stores were able to beat the prices at major stores like Best Buy, and they’re perfectly legitimate places to shop, often offering free shipping as well.

To ensure you’re getting the best price, you can use CamelCamelCamel to check the price history on products at Amazon and browser extension Honey to find coupons from across the web. Browser add-on PriceBlink will also let you know if a specific product is cheaper elsewhere.

Of course, you’ll want to stay tuned to GameSpot, as we’ll be covering all the best deals for Cyber Monday 2019 through this weekend and next week. And remember: If you spot a good deal, hop on it fast, as the hottest products will sell out in the blink of an eye.
