Thanksgiving vs Black Friday vs Cyber Monday: When to Shop for Gaming Computers

Years ago, if you wanted to score a great deal on a gaming PC before the holidays, you would have shopped on Black Friday. Today, you not only have Black Friday but also Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. Not to mention, Black Friday is an entire season these days rather than a single day. So if you’re looking to buy a new gaming computer, which is the best day to shop on: Thanksgiving, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Which Shopping Day Gives the Best Discounts?

According to research from DealNews.com, if you only have one day to shop it should be Thanksgiving. Last year, 38 percent of the sales posted on Thanksgiving were “Editor’s Choice” deals compared to 31 percent on Black Friday. Cyber Monday landed in between at 36 percent. But, it all depends on what you want to buy, as some days are better for certain items.

iPhones and iPads, for example, have the best deals on Thanksgiving  Cameras, speakers and TVs also snag a top spot on Thanksgiving while Android offers the biggest discounts on Cyber Monday.whereas computers, laptops and data storage are cheapest on Cyber Monday. Your best bet is to find out exactly what you’re looking for and see what types of deals are going on for that particular product.

If you want to hit up a sale on Thanksgiving, however, it means you have to leave your family and perhaps some pumpkin pie. It also means that you could be standing in line for hours without ever getting what you want. So, if you’re looking to score a great deal on a high-end gaming computer, our advice is to buy online and shop with a selection that you know is available to you.
