I shop for a living, did you really think I was waiting until Black Friday’s official kickoff to start saving? Lucky for me, Amazon is already brimming with early Black Friday deals from fan-favorite brands. Of course, I already explored the full ...

Amazon has it on sale for just $749 ahead of Black Friday, or $250 off its $999 MSRP. That's a 25% savings and a new record-low, matching the cheapest price the 8GB version saw. (The same deal was live at Best Buy for the paid tiers of its membership program on Thursday, Nov. 14; it'll be open to everyone there on Friday, Nov. 15.)

The Black Friday sales event is coming and nothing will stop it! So the only thing to do is get out ahead of it, track down all the discounts that are already popping up, and start saving immediately.
