With less than six days until Black Friday, Microsoft is teasing deals on its Surface tablets, Office suites, Xbox One controllers, and more.

You'll have to be patient, though; unlike some other online retailers, Redmond is waiting until 12 a.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 26 to kick things off. Until then, you can do a little window shopping, whether you're in the market for a new PC, Xbox, tablet, smartphone, fitness tracker, or speaker.

Here's a sampling of the deals you'll find next week:

For the gamer in your life, Microsoft today announced plans to slash $50 off the price of all previously announced Xbox One holiday bundles, packaged with games like Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Fallout 4. Get maximum savings with the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition or The Lego Movie bundles—the cheapest of the lot at just $299.

Sales run from midnight on Thursday, Nov. 26 through Monday, Nov. 30, and will be available in stores and online. Redmond, meanwhile, has already begun offering savings on more than 150 games, including Forza Motorsport 6, FIFA 16, and Grand Theft Auto V.

Amazon, Walmart, Target, Staples, and Newegg have all announced details of their before, during, and after Black Friday sales. For more deals, check out TechBargains.com.
