Target’s Black Friday compendium is 36 pages long. I don’t want you to have to read all that. Heck, I didn’t want to read all that. But I did.
Note: Although Walmart and Amazon are both starting their sales early, these Target deals are good from November 26-28. Yep, you’ll have to do this the old-fashioned way.
Great Deals on Consoles:
All of Target’s console deals are honestly great. If you’ve been waiting to pick up an Xbox One or PlayStation 4, Black Friday is the obvious choice. This Wii U bundle might be our favorite though. Splatoon is an amazing game, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U continues to be a staple at parties. Since Target is also doing discounts on controllers for all the consoles, we recommend picking up an extra controller (most consoles come with only one) to make playing co-op or multiplayer a possibility right away.
If you have teenagers, the PS4 with The Nathan Drake Collection is a good choice. I love the PS4, and The Nathan Drake Collection is a T-rated Indiana Jones-style adventure romp.

Tablet Deals:
You’ll get a free Target Gift Card with purchase of an iPad Mini or iPad Air (or Apple Watch). As an iPhone and iPad owner, I have to say that I love playing App Store games on the bigger screen of my iPad. If you want a tablet, you’d do well to get an iPad.
Good luck out there, holiday shopper.
