Black Friday sales go live early at Lowe's and the PlayStation Store

Two retailers have started their Black Friday sales ahead of the main shopping weekend, according to reports published on 5 November 2026. Tom's Guide reports that Lowe's sale is live, with a list of 25 of its best deals offering discounts of up to 50 percent. The offers cover appliances, furniture and holiday decor, aimed at shoppers preparing their homes for the festive season.

9to5Toys reports that the official PlayStation Store Black Friday sale is also live, with more than 2,200 titles discounted by as much as 75 percent. The same outlet notes that deals on PS5 hardware and physical games for November had not yet been confirmed, so console savings remain uncertain.

Neither excerpt gives an end date for either sale, so readers should check each store directly before buying. Both reports describe the discounts as maximums that apply to selected products, so savings on a given item may be smaller. Shoppers comparing prices should look at an item's recent price history before deciding. Our Cyber Monday coverage lists the date of the online sales period that usually follows Black Friday.
