Black Friday 2017: Kohl's, JC Penney, Macy's best technology offers

Black Friday is just around the corner, and retail stores like Kohl's, Macy's, and JC Penney are offering some of the biggest discounts on some major products.

For those who are looking to buy a PlayStation (PS) 4 or an Xbox One this coming holiday, Kohl's is offering a big slash on regular prices of these gadgets. Its Black Friday ad revealed that an Xbox One S with 500 gigabytes (GB) would just be sold for $190 with a $45 gift card. They also offer a bundle that includes "Halo Wars 2," a 1-terabyte (TB) Xbox One, and a pair of controllers, and it would be available for just $330, or $20 less than the original price.

Meanwhile, a 1 TB PS4 will be available during Kohl's Black Friday sale for $200 with a $60 gift card. In addition, this retail store would sell controllers for Xbox One and PS4 consoles for $40. Now, for those who need a new monitor to partner with a new console or a new game, Kohl's will also sell a 55-inch Haier 4K ultra high definition (UHD) television for $300, which will help consumers save a hundred bucks.

Players would also be able to find a PS4 for $200 at JC Penney during the sale. A Samsung 55 inches 4K UHD smart TV will just be sold for $500, from its regular price of $700. A 65-inch LG 4K UHD smart TV will be marked down at $800 from $1400. Google Home is also up for just $80 from $129.

Macy's, while not as preferred by consumers in the past year, will also offer markdowns on gadgets. Some of the best deals are the Amazon Echo for $39.99, letting costumers save $10, and the JBL 3 Charge 3 Bluetooth Waterproof Speaker for $90. The Apple Watch Series 1 will get $70 off of its original price, with the price range from $179-$220.
