Walmart's Black Friday sale has officially started, with the major US retailer's "Black Friday - Event 1" discounts now live, with a few select "early access deals" only available for Walmart+ members.

Walmart's Black Friday sale is running in three separate "events" this year, with the initial early deals drop happening from Nov. 12-15 (now live). The second wave will drop on Nov. 23 and run all the way through to Nov. 29, followed by the Cyber Monday deals event from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2.

This follows Best Buy's early Black Friday sale, which went live last week (lasting through to Nov. 19), alongside the announcement of Amazon's official sale that starts on Nov. 19.

If you want my advice, the early deals aren't bad, but the great to excellent offers will more than likely occur from Nov. 23 - Dec. 2. So, if you can wait it out, I'd suggest checking out Walmart's Black Friday "Event 2" sale in just over a week from now as well.

For now, let's take a quick run-through of some of my standout handpicked deals in the early sale, and what you should actually consider picking up now rather than waiting for the other sales to begin.

For starters, Walmart has just restocked the elusive and incredibly popular Xbox X25 anniversary controller . It's available for $79 (with limited stock available; YMMV depending on region), or $73 for an open-box pick shipped directly from Walmart as well. 99 as well, but personally I'd wait it out to see if these will drop in price any further in the coming days.
