Black Friday, the biggest shopping season in the year, will happen on November 24—which is just a week away. Major console makers have already started unveiling their planned discounts.

Also up for discount is the recently released Aloha Edition Animal Crossing Switch Lite system. The console will be bundled with Tom Nook soft toys and Isabelle. The third hardware Black Friday deal will see a Switch bundled with a leg strap, a water bottle, and a copy of Nintendo Switch Sports.
