Black Friday 2016 is almost here, and shoppers looking to find the best deals on electronics and video games from places like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart may find it a bit difficult to navigate through all the ads.

Black Friday deals have a tendency to repeat themselves, so three or four major retailers may offer nearly identical deals on video game bundles or flat-screen televisions. Figuring out which store really has the best deals can take a lot of work, but below you can find a list of the top deals on video games and electronics along with the best offerings from some of the major Black Friday destinations.

With all deals once exclusive to Black Friday now spreading out across the month of November and also beyond Thanksgiving, there is some worry among consumers that the best deals may not actually be on Black Friday. NerdWallet’s 2016 Consumer Holiday Shopping Report found that’s a concern of two in three shoppers.

But as Fortune noted, those fears can be put to rest — the best sales this holiday shopping season will indeed be on Black Friday 2016.

“NerdWallet’s analysis of ads from retailers, however, shows there’s no reason to fear that you’ll miss out,” the report noted. “Major stores, such as Kohl’s, JCPenney, Best Buy, Kmart and Sears, truly are offering better prices on Black Friday than on other November sales.”
