Cyber Monday deals are slowly being revealed, with some similar prices to the Black Friday sales. While the official Cyber Monday sale kicks off at 12:00a.m. ET on Monday, Nov. 26, here’s what you can currently get (or not) at Walmart.com

Updated: Deals and availability confirmed on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 10:25 a.m. PT.

Note the following:

  • Deals available online now: We’ve left existing deals at the top, and verified that they’re in stock online as of the time of this writing. This includes many of Walmart’s best deals like the $99 Google Home Hub, and deals available elsewhere, like the Bose SoundSport Wireless headphones.
  • Expired Black Friday or in-store only deals: Any sales that are no longer applicable — or are in-store only — have been moved to the bottom and marked as such. That includes the $100 40-inch TV and the $400 65-inch Roku TV, as well as many of the phone deals. The Instant Pot deal is no longer available (check Amazon for similar deals), and the PS4 and Nintendo Switch bundles are sold out, too.
  • Cyber Monday deals: Note that Walmart has revealed some of its Cyber Monday deals, but only a handful of the sales revealed appear better or different from what you can get now (or what was available through Friday). Note that Walmart is promising a new Switch bundle for $300 starting Monday at 12:01 a.m. ET.
  • CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.

Walmart Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale prices available now

Google Home Hub, $99 (save $50)

Brian Bennett/CNET

That’s a whole 33 percent off the extremely handy Google Home Hub, which was just released. And it’s got no camera, so it’s a more comfortable bedroom and kitchen companion that other smart displays. Walmart’s deal also comes with $10 credit for Vudu.

Google Home Mini for $25 (half price)

Chris Monroe/CNET

Amazon doesn’t sell Google Assistant products because they directly compete with its Alexa-powered Echo speakers. This great half-price deal on the Google Home Mini is widely available almost everywhere else. There is limited stock available of the coral and aqua colors as of 10:25 a.m. PT Sunday Nov. 25.

Retro Arcade Machine (Street Fighter 2 or Galaga), $249 (save $50)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Who wouldn’t want an arcade machine in their house?

It’s only $50 off, but $249 isn’t too bad for a buildable Galaga or Street Fighter 2 machine!

Xbox One S Minecraft bundle for $199 (save $100)

Tania Gonzalez/CNET

This bundle pulls together a 1TB Xbox One S with Minecraft, the megapopular building game that’s suitable for all ages.

Xbox One X for $399 (save $100)

Josh Miller

Want the more powerful Xbox One X? It’s available for $100 off, too. This console delivers a full 4K gaming experience, and it plays 4K Blu-rays, too (the similarly priced PS4 Pro can’t do that). Note there was only 1 left in stock as of Sunday, Nov. 25 at 10.28am PT.

Note that you can also get the Xbox One S or One X with some other, newer games by paying just $20 or $30 more. That’s still a net savings, because you’d likely be paying $60 for these games if purchased separately.

Deals that are expired, out of stock or in-store only

Roku Ultra, $48 (half price!)

Sarah Tew/CNET

The highest-end Roku improves on our favorite 4K streamer, the Streaming Stick Plus, with a headphone jack on the remote, a remote finder and (new for 2018) JBL headphones, a $30 value. Walmart has this product a couple of bucks cheaper than Amazon, and it throws in a $5 Vudu credit and a $35 Sling TV credit, too.

That price is not a misprint

65-inch 4K smart Roku TV: $398 (in store only)

Sarah Tew/CNET

Update: As of Sunday, Nov. 25 at 10.30am PT, this is now out of stock.

This is an insane price on a big TV with Roku, the best smart TV system CNET has ever tested. Walmart’s ad says the TV is either the TCL 65S4 or the Sharp LC‑65Q7300U. We haven’t reviewed either model directly, but TCL tells us it has “similar form and function” to the S405 we reviewed in 2017 (pictured), which costs roughly $350 more at 65 inches.

iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus: $400 gift card

Sarah Tew/CNET

From the cheapest TV to the most expensive iPhones… of last year. You’ll pay full price for the iPhone X, iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus, but a $400 gift card (that’s four Insignia 40-inch TVs!) is hard to pass up if you’re a frequent Walmart shopper. You’ll need to activate through AT&T, Sprint or Verizon. 

This deal is in-store only: Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. through Nov. 23. Schedule an activation appointment at 6 p.m. Activations begin at 8 p.m.

iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR: $300 gift card

Josh Miller/CNET

Wait, you want a new iPhone? That’ll cost you even more, and net a lower-value gift card. But if you get the cheaper XR ($750) it’s a solid deal and might be worth heading to Walmart to make it happen.

This deal is in-store only: Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. through Nov. 23. Schedule an activation appointment at 6 p.m. Activations begin at 8 p.m.

Samsung Galaxy S9, Note 9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Plus: $300 gift card

Josh Miller/CNET

Similar deal where you have to pay full price in-store, but with a cheaper phone. The S9 from 2018 starts at $650, while the S8 models from 2017 are even cheaper. If you’re not wedded to the iPhone, these Samsungs are pretty sweet bargains with the gift card.

This deal is in-store only: Nov. 22 at 6 p.m. through Nov. 23. Schedule an activation appointment at 6 p.m. Activations begin at 8 p.m.

Cheapest. 40-inch TV. Ever.

40-inch Hisense 1080p TV: $99 (in store only)

Walmart

Neither have we reviewed this Hisense (model 40EU3000), but we’re guessing its image quality is on the bottom end of “acceptable,” at best. But this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for a 40-inch TV. Just last year we were excited about 32-inch TVs for $99. Insanity. 

(Note: We’ve just discovered this is sadly in store only.)
