They’re playing Christmas music on all the radio stations and government buildings have begun decking the halls with non-denominational decorations. All of this can only mean one thing: it’s time for the mad holiday rush. Once you’ve polished off that turkey dinner and put on a pair of your least flattering sweatpants, be sure join us after the break for some of the merriest deals on consumer electronics that the internet — and your local big box shop — has to offer.

Just because Nintendo is focusing its energy on the Wii U launch doesn’t preclude a sweet deal or two in portable gaming. Starting November 23rd, the company is bundling Super Mario 3D Land with Flame Red 3DS models at the same $170 price as the handheld by itself; it even comes pre-loaded on memory to save some of the hassles of physical media. You can be sure the limited-run console is all about goosing Black Friday sales at a time when Nintendo really needs the boost, but we don’t think too many mobile gamers will mind if it means entering 3DS ownership with one of the platform’s better games in hand.

Black Friday’s coming and you know what that means: time to move some units. For two days only starting November 23rd, Sony’s knocking an additional $50 off existing PlayStation console bundles. Consumers with the wherewithal to withstand the shopping frenzy can snare the Ultimate PS3 Value Bundle (i.e. 250GB console, Uncharted Dual Pack, inFamous Collection and PS Plus trial) or one of three WiFi-only PS Vita deals (Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation, Lego Batman 2 or Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified) at select retailers for $199. Of course, if M for Mature’s not your bag, there’s always the family-friendlier Wii U to consider.

Thanksgiving is a week away and as exciting as family and good eats may be, there’s nothing more appetizing than a good deal. Not too long ago we took a quick peek at Sprint’s Black Friday offerings and now it’s time to wrap things up. An anonymous source has served up the carrier’s remaining post-Turkey Day sales and it appears that the Now Network is having a Samsung blowout. Running November 23rd through 25th, Sprint will be offering the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Victory to new and eligible customers for free after a $50 mail-in rebate and two year service agreement. In typical holiday sale fashion, supplies are expected to be limited, so you’ll want to plan accordingly in order to cash in on this deal.

As the holiday season draws closer, bargain hunters and retailers alike are starting to map out their Black Friday game plan. However, if you’re balling on a budget and looking to score a stellar smartphone, then allow us to lend a helping hand. An anonymous tipster has shared a peek at one of Sprint’s post-Turkey Day attractions, with the gory details shown in the image above. Both current and prospecting customers will have a chance to snag a Galaxy S III for $50 on a new two-year agreement, with Sprint no doubt hoping to use its unlimited data policy to lure to-be network switchers. Supplies are expected to be limited, so you’d be wise to get up entirely too early if you’re hoping to guarantee yourself a unit.
