Black Friday ads for 2015 have begun to roll in and can be viewed at BlackFriday.com; however, ads for the big three -- Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy -- have yet to be posted. According to a report from the iDigital Times, the Black Friday ads for these three are expected to leak online soon.
The report also cites that many retail stores are no longer just looking at Black Friday as a single day to offer sales but as a whole season, which officially begins on Nov. 1 and ends on Black Friday itself, the day the biggest sales will be offered.
With that mindset, Wal-Mart has begun offering several pre-Black Friday deals focusing on toys, which can be viewed on BlackFriday.com. Some of the deals include a PlayStation 4 "Star Wars Battlefront" 500 GB Bundle for $349, a Nintendo Wii U "Mario Kart 8" Deluxe Bundle for $299, and an Xbox One although no price has yet been posted.
The ad also includes a Nintendo New 3DS XL for $199.99, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 for $149 and an LG Sunset on Straight Talk for $99.
Target has also released their pre-Black Friday sale toy book ad, which offers an iPad Mini 3 16 GB for $399, an iPhone 6 for $99 and an iPhone 6 Plus for $199, both applicable for Verizon or Sprint contracts.
Best Buy, meanwhile, has not yet posted any pre-Black Friday or Black Friday ads but the company has offered free shipping for their items until Jan. 2, 2016. Free shipping offers extend to items such as the newly released Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller, which is sold at $149 and a no-contract LG Transpyre 4G 8 GB phone.
iDigital Times points out that Wal-Mart's ads for Black Friday 2014 leaked as early as Nov. 3, which is why it is speculated that this year's Black Friday ads will leak before this weekend is over.
Black Friday is held the day after Thanksgiving. This year Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 26, leading Black Friday to fall on Nov. 27.
