John Lewis has finally updated this deal to match that of Amazon. The discount on the default bundle for the Switch 2 with Mario Kart might not sound huge, but in Nintendo's rare price-cut world it,'s not to be sniffed at.

Sony PlayStation 5

This might not be as new as the Switch 2, but it's still probably the best deal we've ever seen on the PS5 – and I'm highlighting the version with a disc drive since I think it'll save you money in the long run, and give you the option of watching Blu-rays, too.

A T3 favourite during the Black Friday sales, Lenovo's entry-level laptop has frequently appeared on offer. But it's never been this low in price, making this already affordable Windows laptop a great deal for those with only moderate sums to explore buying a new machine.

Apple MacBook Air (M2, 13-inch)
Save £300
Apple MacBook Air (M2, 13-inch): was £999 now £699 at John Lewis

This might not be the latest MacBook Air, but it'll last for years and has more than enough power for the vast majority of users. Getting it for this little – and brand new – is a great little deal, if you're able to grab it while it lasts.

John Lewis Black Friday sale: Tablet deals

Amazon Fire HD 8
Save 60% (£60)
Amazon Fire HD 8: was £99.99 now £39.99 at John Lewis

JL is matching the same deal as Amazon, offering the 8in Fire HD with a mega 60% off. An ideal entry-level tablet for streaming, browsing and basic apps. While Amazon's tablet runs on Google's Android, there's a layer over the top which prevents access to the full Google Play library – as such, you're somewhat restricted to what's accessible.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra
Save 33% (£400)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra: was £1,199 now £799 at John Lewis

If you're looking for a huge tablet, then the 14.6-inch Samsung is like nothing else. It's super-powerful and, with a third off its asking price – making JL the cheapest place to buy – it's now worth every penny should you be looking for a versatile, laptop-replacement product.

Price check: Amazon: £899 | Argos £899| Very £899

John Lewis Black Friday sale 2025: Headphones deals

Sony WH-1000XM6
Save £99.01
Sony WH-1000XM6: was £399 now £299.99 at John Lewis
Read moreRead less

Sony's best wireless headphones ever, for my money, the XM6s only just came out a few months ago – but they're already subject to a wild £100 discount, which is some going.

Apple  AirPods 4
Apple AirPods 4: was £119 now £99 at John Lewis
Read moreRead less

You see them everywhere for good reason – Apple's basic AirPods are great in-ear headphones, offering easy connectivity and great sound. There's no active noise-cancelling (ANC), though, so if you want that then you'll need to pay more.

John Lewis Black Friday sale 2025: TV deals

LG C5 OLED (65-inch, 2025)
Save £600
LG C5 OLED (65-inch, 2025): was £2,099 now £1,499 at John Lewis
Read moreRead less

This is the TV I'd recommend to the vast majority of people in the market for a new display, and it's got a pretty huge discount right now. It's only on the 65-inch version, though, which is a factor to consider for sure!

LG OLED B5 48-inch
Save 25% (£250)
LG OLED B5 48-inch: was £999.99 now £749.99 at John Lewis
Read moreRead less

The step below the C5 model, the B5 isn't quite as bright – but it's a lot more affordable. The stunning 4K picture quality doesn't negate any of OLED's benefits – perfect contrast and no light halo around subjects. And in its 48-inch form it's one of those rare smaller-scale OLED panels with all the latest features.

John Lewis Black Friday sale 2025: Phone deals

Google Pixel 10

Google's best promotion for Black Friday is on its current flagship phone, with John Lewis also getting in on the action. With top-level performance and all the latest Android AI software features, this 6.3-inch handset is well worth your consideration – especially at this lower price.

Motorola Razr 60 Ultra
Save £200
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra: was £1,099 now £899 at John Lewis

You won't get a much better deal on a folding phone this year – Motorola's super slick Razr 60 Ultra looks like a bit of a steal at this price. Its lovely clamshell design includes an all-screen outer face that other brands have since copied (with good reason).


John Lewis Black Friday 2025: What you need to know

This Black Friday falls on 28 November, but the John Lewis sale for the big event is already live – and most of its deals shouldn't change much for the remainder of November.

That said, it's not impossible that on the day itself we'll see some new deals pop up, to justify the hype and get people even more interested in what's discounted. I'll be maintaining the above list of highlights throughout the rest of November to check for valuable new additions.

A very unexpected Sony headphones deal

I really didn't expect to see a deal on the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones this Black Friday – or, more to the point, I thought the deal would be a lot more modest. Earlier this week, you could get £50 off the headphones, which felt about right, but that's now fallen to £100.

That makes the XM6s just £299, which is a really great price for a 2025 launch that I gave a buzzing 5-star review. If you're in the market for over-ears that have excellent noise-cancelling alongside top-class musical chops, you're going to want to consider these, for sure.

The best (only) Switch 2 deal ever

This year we've seen surprise deals on the Switch 2 – surprise because the console isn't yet a year old. That means the savings have been modest, obviously, but it's still well worth highlighting them for those who haven't seen. Principally, the main Switch 2 bundle, which comes with Mario Kart World, can be picked up for just £399.99 instead of £429.99.

Black Friday properly begins today

Okay, it might have been a long two weeks of build-up, but now we're in the thick of the day itself – Black Friday 2025 has begun, which arguably also means that time is now of the essence.
