Black Friday 2015 news: Costco promo deals goes online

Retailer Costco has joined the bandwagon for this year's Black Friday Sale event, publishing their full lineup of discounted items and scores of promotional deals and bundles.

In the flyer seen online, Costco's discounted products lineup range from general consumer items to industry-specific items, like console bundles for gamers.

For gamers who are avid Costco shoppers, they can get an instant savings of $50 as discount for an Xbox One or PlayStation 4 console. The Xbox One bundle comes with a 500-GB system, an Xbox One wireless controller, and a disc copy of "The Lego Movie" game title. The PS4 deal, on the other hand, includes a 500-GB PS4 system and a DualShock 4 wireless controller.

Meanwhile, there are also different consumer electronics that will be on sale for the Thanksgiving weekend. Topping the list is a $200-discount for a top-of-the-line Dell Inspiron 5000 series laptop, with 15.6-inch Full HD display, 6th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16-GB RAM, and 1-TB hard drive storage. The laptop also comes pre-loaded with the new Windows 10.

Other consumer electronics in the lineup include $400 to $500 off on different HP Pavilion and Envy laptops, as well as $100 to $300 discount on tablet hybrids like the Asus TP500 Flip and a Surface Pro 3 Windows 10 bundle. Google's Chromebook lineup is also featured, and shoppers can get $60 off on an Acer 15.6" Chromebook bundle.

Costco will also slash off prices on selected consumer electronics like Smart LED TVs, external storage, Google Chromecast and home entertainment and improvement items. The promo will run all Thanksgiving weekend, from Nov. 27 to Nov. 29. Meanwhile, Costco also announced that even if its promotion will run for at least three days, some items may not be available as the deals will run only while supplies last.
