For the Black Friday deals actually worth trudging out into the cold for, check out our Black Friday guide.
Worst Black Friday Deals:
iPad Mini 1st Generation ($200)
Apple’s tablets are great, but this one is outdated and just can’t keep up on newer version of iOS.
E Fun Windows 8.1 Tablet ($100)
Have you heard of E Fun? Neither have we, and Windows 8.1 doesn’t have a great reputation for running on low-end hardware like this. If you come across it at Walmart, avoid it.
RCA 7-inch Google Play tablet ($30)
It has all of a 2.5-star rating on Amazon. Probably makes for a nice, heavy frisbee?
7-inch Dual Screen Portable DVD Player ($50)
This is a great deal if you live in the year 2005.
32-inch Class LED HDTV ($100)
Walmart’s ad says the brand will vary on this deal. That means “it’s going to be one of the off-brand TVs we can’t give away.”
Element 29″ HDTV ($80)
This is exactly the kind of brand you fear getting with that “brand may vary” deal.
Xbox 360 4GB Kinect Bundle ($180)
It’s a generation behind, it only has a 4GB hard drive, and it comes with the Kinect. Three strikes.
Off-Brand Xbox and PlayStation controllers ($40)
Walmart has these on sale. This will seem like a significantly worse deal when the controller gives out in the middle of your game.
SmartWatch G2 Pro ($55)
Even the best smartwatches still have a ways to go, so off-brand ones aren’t going to live on your wrist for long.
Mach Speed Trio 7-inch tablet ($80)
It runs Android 4.4 for the half hour it works. Spend a little more and get a reliable tablet.
