The Best Cyber Monday Deals of 2024: Meta Quest, Xbox, PS5, LEGOs, Switch, and Apple
Cyber Monday starts now. Dive into the best Cyber Monday deals of 2024, across games, consoles, tech, gadgets, and toys.
Cyber Monday 2024 lands on December 2, but that's literally just half the story. Much like with Black Friday, Cyber Monday deals actually get released in two waves. The first wave happens today, Sunday, and primarily involves deals from brick & mortar retailers like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Gamestop. The second wave happens on Monday and involves deals from online only retailers like Amazon, Alienware, HP, Lenovo, Newegg, and more.
In terms of deal quality, there are better-than-expected discounts on gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Meta Quest , and Steam Deck, several Apple iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches, heavily discounted video games, powerful gaming PCs and laptops, and more. Many of the same deals we saw on Black Friday have returned for Cyber Monday, including deals that were previously sold out or expired. I am also seeing a number of new deals that never happened on Black Friday. Check out the full list below.TL;DR - Best Cyber Monday Deals
The Best Cyber Monday Streaming Deal
This Cyber Monday, you can sign up for Hulu for just $0.99/month for an entire year – down from $9.99/month, and at 90% off that's hard to beat. Similarly, the Disney+ bundle is being offered at $2.99/month for a year, down from $10.99/month, making these some of the best Black Friday streaming deals available. Don't miss out.
Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have all dropped the price on the recently released Xbox Series X All-Digital Edition console. The retail price is $449.99, but you can get it on Cyber Monday for $399.99 Unlike the Xbox Series S, the All-Digital Edition is just as powerful as the original Series X but without the disc (very much like the PS5 and PS5 Digital). The Xbox Series X All-Digital Edition is clad in Robot White and has the same 1TB storage as the original Series X.

The Best Price on Xbox Controllers
Lenovo just pushed out the best Xbox controller deal I've seen for both Cyber Monday and Black Friday. The Xbox wireless controller in Robot White or Electric Volt is on sale for $34.99. Carbon Black (with USB cable), Shock Blue, Pulse Red, and Deep Pink are on sale for $39.99. For any of these options, make sure you apply coupon code "BFCMXBOX" in your shopping cart. These controllers are compatible with Xbox Series X and S consoles as well as your PC.
The Best Cyber Monday AirPods Deal
The best Cyber Monday AirPods deal is still available, although it looks to be selling out quickly. The Apple AirPods Pro wireless noise-canceling earbuds dropped to $154 during the leadup to Black Friday, and although most retailers have bumpted the price back up to $170, a few - namely Amazon and Walmart - still have it discounted for Cyber Monday. This discount brings the price down to the same level as the Apple AirPods 4 with noise cancellation. Between the two, the AirPods Pro is still Apple's best earbuds because it offers better sound quality and better noise cancellation.
As good as (maybe even better than) Haribos
If there's one sweet that you should treat yourself to for Cyber Monday, consider this 5 pound bag of Albanese World's Best 12 Flavor Gummi Bears, now only $11.89 after a 40% discount. They drop to $11.30 with Subscribe & Save. A bunch of us here at IGN ordered these and highly recommend them. Although I'm usually not a big candy person, I do like putting gummy bears in the fridge to harden them up and using them as an ice cream topper.
Get the 77" if your space can fit, the 65" if not.
The best high-end TV deal just landed for Cyber Monday. Best Buy has dropped the price of the 77" LG Evo C3 4K OLED TV down to $1,499.99. That is an incredible deal for the later 77" screen size. On a normal day, you would be paying that much for the 65" model. If, however, you can't fit a TV of this size into your space, Amazon is offering the 65" LG Evo C3 4K OLED TV for only $1,196.99. This TV and others in LG's C-series lineup have won top spots in several of our buying guides, including best 4K TV, best TV for gaming, and best TV for the PlayStation 5. This is an especially good choice if you picked up the new PS5 Pro, since the updated hardware will be able to run more games at a consistent 4K @ 120fps.
This might very well be the best gaming PC deal of Cyber Monday. Walmart is offering this iBuyPower Y40 gaming PC with AMD Ryzen 7 7700 CPU and the excellent RTX 4070 GPU for only $1199. The RTX 4070 Super is one of the best graphics cards for most people; it's affordably priced and yet it's powerful enough to run games at up to 4K (although 1440p is its sweet spot). I personally gamed on a 4K monitor with a RTX 3080 GPU (less powerful than the RTX 4070 Super) before I upgraded. The system is contained in a nice looking Hyte Y40 midtower chassis (iBuyPower and Hyte are sister brands).
Sony released its entire set of Cyber Monday PlayStation deals on November 21 and most major retailers have followed suit. These deals have an official end date of December 2 (Cyber Monday). The best deals are on the consoles: The PS5 Slim Disc Edition has dropped to $424.99 (originally $500) and the PS5 Slim Digital Edition has dropped to $374.99 (originally $450). I would choose the Disc Edition because it's only $50 more and then I have the option to buy (and later sell or trade) physical disc media. But if you want to save some money and go the Digital Edition route, I would suggest getting the NBA 2K25 bundle (if you can catch it in-stock), which also includes a game. Although the Fortnite Cobalt Star bundle has a fancy-looking box, no actual game is included.

Star Wars: Outlaws was released only three months ago and it's already 33% off for Cyber Monday. Maybe Ubisoft is trying to boost sales after a lackluster launch, but that means you get to enjoy a AAA title at a great discount. IGN's Tristan Ogilvie gave it a 7/10 review, which is still good, but I've beaten the game and immensely enjoyed it, so I would have given it an 8. It definitely has an "Assassin's Creed game in a Star Wars skin" vibe, and there's nothing wrong with that.

The Best Board Game Under $15
You can pick up a copy of Azul for only $13.33 for Cyber Monday. Many board games are about mystery or war, but Azul is totally different. Players in Azul compete to design the most beautiful tiled mosaics they can. In our Azul review, Matt Thrower writes, "Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special."
Walmart is the only retailer offering Tears of the Kingdom for $30. IGN gave it a 10/10 "Masterpiece" rating and I would have to agree. Tom Marks wrote that "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an unfathomable follow-up, expanding a world that already felt full beyond expectation and raising the bar ever higher into the clouds." I wouldn't wait too long to get this deal; Walmart is already sold out of physical copies.

The Least Expensive Adjustable dumbells
Bowflex isn't the only option when it comes to adjustable dumbbell sets, especially on Cyber Monday. FitRX is another popular brand at a much, much lower price point. As part of the Walmart Cyber Monday Sale, you can pick up a pair of FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells for only $139.97. A set of Bowflex 551 adjustable dumbbells costs three times more. Walmart even offers free shipping, which is great since the package will weigh in at well over 100 pounds.
There Apple iPad 10th gen for $259.99 is the iPad I would recommend to most people. It offers snappy performance and an intuitive iOS interface at an affordable price. Tenth gen improvements over its predecessor include a larger 10.9" screen and a faster A14 Bionic chip, Magic Folio keyboard support so you can convert it into a mini laptop (making it one of the best iPads for students), a USB Type-C port, better camera, and updated Wi-Fi 6 protocol. This price was $10 less on Black Friday, but I don't know if that deal will come back for Cyber Monday.
For anyone on a budget, this is the Apple Watch to get. The second generation Apple Watch SE starts at just $149 only at Amazon and Walmart and is the best price I've ever seen for a brand-new Apple Watch with a warranty. Despite the affordable price tag, you actually don't lose out on much functionality if you opt for an Apple Watch SE. It's powered by the same S8 processor found in the Apple Watch Series 8 and the first-generation Apple Watch Ultra. It also features a bright and sharp OLED Retina display, IPX7 water resistance, fall detection, sleep tracking, Apple Pay, and nearly all the fitness tracking functionality including heart rate monitoring.

Includes One-Time $20 Audible Credit
From now until December 31, non-current Audible subscribers are eligible for three months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 per month and a bonus one-time $20 Audible credit. Premium Plus is Audible's best plan and three months would normally cost you about $44.95. You also get a free audiobook of your choice each month that you get to keep indefinitely.
Audible is a subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of thousands of the best audiobooks without ever having to purchase them. Premium Plus is Audible's highest tier plan and it gives you access to a whopping 500,000 audiobooks. These include all-time classics like Frank Herbert's Dune, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire), The Witcher, The Sandman Series, and The Lord of the Rings.
The OMEN 45L is HP's flagship gaming PC. This is HP's roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of three 120mm fans positioned at the front of the case and another three 120mm fans attached to the 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling radiator at the top of the case. This PC is equipped with a massive 1,200W 80PLUS Gold certified power supply that's big enough for even the most power-hungry of gaming PCs.
The RTX 4090 is the most powerful GPU on the market. No other video card from NVIDIA or AMD comes close. In his RTX 4090 review, Chris Coke writes "The RTX 4090 may be huge and expensive, but holy smokes if it doesn’t blow the competition out of the water... Until the rest of the pack can catch up, between its impressive hardware specs and its DLSS 3 AI wizardry, even the $1,599 price doesn’t seem unreasonable for the unrivaled frame rates that this card can crank out."

The Walmart Cyber Monday Sale brings with it this excellent gaming laptop deal. Walmart is offering a Lenovo LOQ RTX 4070 gaming laptop for only $879.99. Yes, you read that right. The LOQ is Lenovo's lineup of budget-oriented gaming laptops. This system features a 15" 1080p display, a low-voltage AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS CPU, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The RTX 4070 GPU is a fully powered (115W TGP) model, not a throttled one like on some other budget laptops. Despite its low cost, this laptop will perform almost as well as the best RTX 4070 gaming laptops. You should be able to play any game comfortably on the 1080p display.

Perhaps the best Cyber Monday deal on a high-end gaming monitor has arrived. Amazon is offering the massive 57" Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 Dual 4K UHD gaming monitor at the exclusive price of $1,479.99. That's $120 less than everyone else's gaming monitor Black Friday deal and nearly 50% off the retail price. Keep in mind that there is no other monitor to compare it with. If you're looking for the biggest and sharpest super ultra-wide gaming monitor on the planet, this would be it right here. Just make sure that your GPU is up to snuff.
Alienware just sweetened the deal on its best gaming monitor for Cyber Monday. The 32" Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K QD OLED gaming monitor is down to $899.99. But that's not all. Alienware is also including a bonus $100 Dell promotional e-gift card. The Alienware AW3225QF was released earlier this year and is actually Dell's one and only monitor that combines a 4K resolution with an OLED panel.

The entry-level Hisense R6-series 4K smart TV offers a limited set of features in exchange for a rock bottom price. Don't expect this TV to be decked out with the latest cutting-edge technology, however what you'll get is a native 4K TV that works out of the box and still offers solid image quality that will satisfy most TV watchers. It has built-in speakers and Roku smart TV baked in. Roku is actually our favorite streaming hub because of its intuitive interface.

Best Buy is still the only retailer to drop the price on the Asus ROG Ally X so far for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. In our Asus ROG Ally X review, gaming guru Jacqueline Thomas wrote that "the Asus ROG Ally X is simply the best handheld gaming PC on the market right now. With more and faster memory and double the battery as the original Ally, the Ally X will run any modern game without dying in an hour and a half."

These JLabs JBuds Lux are an incredible value. First of all, they feature both wireless connectivity and noise cancellation for under $30. Better yet, unlike virtually all other headphones at this price point, they're actually very good! SoundGuys recently reviewed the JLabs JBuds Lux and gave it an absolutely glowing review, mentioning that they were one of the best headphones under $100. SoundGuys considered them an extremely good value at their retail price of $79. Imagine their opinion at the current $29 price point.

An excellent board game worth mentioning is Splendor, which is down to $13.99 after you clip the coupon. Splendor is a 2014 release that's still considered one of the best board games for all experience levels, and it's priced lower than most other board games targeted towards the same audience. There's plenty of strategy here, but at the same time, the rules aren't daunting and the average playtime is a very reasonable 30 minutes. This fast game is easy enough for kids to learn but satisfying for players of all ages, making it a good board game for families.

Lots of interactive elements for a display-worthy set
This popular LEGO Creator set rarely goes on sale. For Cyber Monday, LEGO Shop is offering the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 10283 for $159.99, or a savings of 20%. You'll need to be a LEGO Insiders member, but it's free to sign up. This impressive set consists of 2,354 bricks, which averages out to about 6.7 cents per brick, and measures 22" long. As its namesake suggests, this is a replica of the Space Shuttle Discovery, with a center compartment that opens up and houses a separate Hubble telescope that can be deployed with a robot arm. Of course it also looks amazing as a display.
iFixit might be a familiar brand name for you from all of the helpful teardown videos of various electronics that've hosted on YouTube. Well, they also sell an extremely practical and high quality toolkit that helps you do the same. Amazon is offering the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit for electronics, smartphones, gaming consoles, PCs and laptops, and tablets for only $59.96. It normally retails for $75 and we've only seen a price drop only once this year back in May. This is one of the very best tool kits you can buy for disassembling and repairing your electronics -- including your Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck -- without spending hundreds of dollars on a commercial kit.

Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are all one-stop shopping sites, so it makes sense that their Cyber Monday sales extend beyond gaming and tech. Here are the best deals I've seen so far on small kitchen appliances, personal care products like hair dryers and toothbrushes, vacuum cleaners, and other convenient necessities that everyone – gamers included – might find useful. On a personal note, although air fryers are all the rage these days, I bought my Instant Pot pressure cooker over 10 years ago and I still use it weekly. My air fryer sits in the cabinet.
20% off the best entry-level espresso machine
Amazon has dropped the price of the super popular and well-reviewed Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine to $399.95 after a 20% discount. This machine is rarely discounted, even on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. You can read the reviews online, but the Bambino Plus is well-regarded, even among the coffee snobs, as an incredible bang for your buck at retail price, especially if you like pouring yourself lattes or other milk-based coffee drinks. To get something appreciably better, you'll have to pay north of $1,000.

Black Friday vs Cyber Monday
In most instances, you can consider Cyber Monday as a one day extension of Black Friday. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines are very much blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
