It’s the weekend of October 30, and right on cue, Best Buy’s DoorBOOsters sale has begun. As announced earlier this week in Best Buy’s Black Friday sale schedule, DoorBOOsters is the first of several sales events the retailer has planned between now and the end of the year. DoorBOOsters runs October 30 – November 1 and features discounts on everything from PCs and Apple products to video games and 3D printers. Let’s take a look at the DoorBOOsters sale.

Here’s a broad overview of what’s on sale. Read on to see some of our favorite hand-picked deals.
Horror Game Deals
It wouldn’t be a spooky sale event without deals on horror games, now would it? Best Buy has a number of excellent spooky games on sale this weekend. We’re talking games like the Silent Hill 2 remake, this year’s Resident Evil Requiem, and more games for PS5, Xbox, and Switch. For more video game deals, check out the excellent sale Woot is running this weekend as well.
TV Deals
One of the best-served categories in this sale is TVs. If you could use a new TV, you can almost certainly find something here that fits the bill. TVs ranging from tiny to enormous 70-inch screens are on sale, with a wide array of brands, including budget brands like Insignia as well as top-of-the-line LG G-series televisions.
Legion Go S with SteamOS Deal
Legion Go S 8″ 120Hz Gaming Handheld – AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme – SteamOS – 32GB with 1TB SSD
0
I love handheld gaming PCs – in fact, the Steam Deck is my primary gaming device. A big reason for that is because of how easy SteamOS makes it to play games. This Legion Go S comes with SteamOS pre-installed, but it packs the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, which makes it more powerful than Valve’s first-party hardware. That means it can play a wider library of more demanding games, from Steam, as well as other PC game launchers if you’re willing to tinker a little.
And at $680 off, this is a killer discount I wouldn’t expect to see beaten during Black Friday. However, if you’re cool with open-box items and you don’t mind spending just a little more, you can get the Z2 Extreme-equipped ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X right now for just $50 more.
Apple Deals
Apple products are discounted in the sale, which is generally to be expected from Best Buy. But unless you need to replace something immediately, or you want that AirTag 4-pack, I’d hold off until closer to Black Friday, when I expect significantly deeper discounts to appear at Best Buy and other retailers.
PC and Accessory Deals
If you could use a new laptop, gaming PC, monitor, mouse, or even a 3D printer, you can save some cash this weekend at Best Buy. There are loads of deals on those devices available now through Sunday. I would, however, expect to see many of these items drop to lower prices as Black Friday creeps nearer. So take these deals with a grain of salt.
Remember, make your purchases by Sunday, November 1, because that’s when this sale ends.
