Amazon Cyber Week 2014: Best Deals Include PS3, PS4 and Xbox One, Xbox 360 Game Sales

Dec 01, 2014 01:55 PM EST

Online retail giant Amazon has unleashed its Cyber Monday deals today with hundreds of special discounts available throughout the week.

If you're unfamilar with how Amazon's Cyber Week deals work, head on over to amazon.com and check out the Cyber Monday deals right there on the front page. Some deals expire within hours, some expire in days, and some don't expire until the end of the month. Many of the best product discounts are in limited supply, so you'll need to hurry! Once they've all been claimed, you can add yourself to a wait list, but that can also become full very quickly.

Luckily, there are tabs at the top of the sale page that allow you to see current deals, upcoming deals, and missed deals. And each product has a brief description, a line showing what percentage has been claimed, and a timer showing how much longer the sale will be going on. For upcoming deals, a timer shows when the sale will begin, and all countdowns are in real time so you won't need to refresh the page. I'm sure most of us could spend all week watching these deals come and go!

If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can enjoy a special head start on these sales 30 minutes before anyone else has access to them. This is especially great if you see an upcoming deal that you really must have and it's in limited supply.

So let's first take a look at deals that end today. As of right now, you can grab the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 or Tab S notebooks for $100 off, and select Samsung microSD cards are 50% off until 3:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Many Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 games are 40% off or more, like Grand Theft Auto V by Rockstar Games is only $29.99 for the Xbox 360 (regular price $59.99) and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor for the PlayStation 4 is only $25.99 (regular price $59.99). Game accessories like headphones, flash memory, and solid-state hard drives are 50% off and more, and even wearable technology like activity trackers and smart watches are 10-20% off.

Select Hasbro toys are also 50% off as part of Amazon's Deal of the Day. The Canon Powershot S110 Digital Camera is going for $159.99 (46% off), Dragon Age: Inquisition for the PS4 is $44.99 (25% off), and select digital cameras for kids are up to 60% off as part of today's Deal of the Day promotion, also.

Intel-powered laptops are 20% off and select jewelry is 30% off until December 7, and you can get $25 off $100 Makita Tool orders until December 31. But if Dewalt is more your tool of choice, you can get the same deal on Dewalt tools until December 23.

You'll find that most of the best deals end this week, but there are several that don't end until January 1, so you have plenty of time and even an opportunity to use those Amazon gift cards you get for Christmas.

Amazon really has just about anything you can think of, so be sure to check back with the site throughout the day this entire week for more timed and limited supply discounts that you probably won't find anywhere else.
