Black Friday 2017 Target deals: PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch bundle on sale

Target has released advertisements for the 2017 Black Friday Sale. The door-buster deals include bargains for current generation video game consoles including the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.

The PlayStation 4 which comes with the 1 TB hard drive will be sold at $199.99 and saves the consumers $100, while the Xbox One S 500 GB variant will be sold at $189.99, saving the buyers $90 and entitling them to a $25 Target gift card. The Nintendo Switch bundle, which comes with the "Super Mario Odyssey" video game, will be priced at $299.99.

Target also put subscription cards for PlayStation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live on sale. The store offers $10 off on all cards for PSN and Xbox Live users.

Meanwhile, Target has adjusted the sale hours to keep up with consumer habits. Last year, Target figured that shoppers showed up on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but found a drop off once it got late. This year, the doors will open at 6 p.m. and close at midnight local time. Stores will reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.

In a press release, Target announced that the new hours will ensure that their stores will be ready for buyers who will want to shop after Thanksgiving. It will also allow their employees to be well rested in time for the Black Friday sale.

Aside from video game consoles, Target also offers reduced prices for televisions, toys, and smart phones among others. Consumers will get a free $300 Target gift card after purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy Note 8 upon activation of AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint subscription. For Apple iPhone buyers, Target offers a $250 gift card for purchasing the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus upon activation of subscription among the mentioned service providers.
