TechBargains

Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share.

Well, my friends, today is the Dealmaster's Super Bowl. The Black Friday deals have landed, and while the nation's retailers are peddling piles of junk to capitalize on the shopping frenzy, they're also set to have more legitimately worthwhile discounts on tech than at virtually any other point in the year. In fact, many of those deals have already gone live, hence why we're kicking things off a few hours early.

Over the next 27 hours, the Dealmaster and his stash of energy drinks will be sorting through the e-commerce garbage and picking out the best deals on TVs, laptops, headphones, and any other good tech he can find. Have a look at what's currently available below, and feel free to check back throughout the day to see if that gadget you've been eyeing has gone on sale.
