Best Buy released a new “Best Buy Drops” feature on its app in the fall of 2023, offering a peek into high-profile product releases, limited runs, launches, and limited-time deals with some of the lowest prices I’ve ever seen. You can also see previous Drops to get an idea of the kind of products they include, like the Xbox Series X, 4K smart TVs, and iPads for record low prices.
How Best Buy Drops works
You’ll need to have an account with Best Buy, but not necessarily one of the paid ones (although joining My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total will give you further discounts on some of those products). You’ll be prompted to verify your account with your email and gain access to the app. Once in, go to the “Drops" tab on the bottom of the screen to find limited-time deals on categories like gaming consoles and accessories, wearable devices, e-transportation products, small appliances, smart homes, toys, and more. Most weeks, Best Buy will update the Drop list with new upcoming deals.
Upcoming products will appear on the "upcoming drops" tab and past products on the "past drops” tab, but you will only see the discount when the product has a live deal. Live deals usually start at 11 a.m. ET on the day the product is listed to drop and lasts until around 5 p.m. ET or until the supplies are gone. You will see a percentage bar indicating how much of the inventory has been bought. If you see a particular product you’re interested in, you can always opt-in to Drop Alerts and receive push notifications when the Drop goes live.
Current Drops
The Black Series Darth Revan from Star Wars is currently on the app for $149.99 (originally $278.99), which is the second lowest price I’ve seen it in recent months. Keep in mind you can only access this deal through your phone using the Best Buy app. This deal will be live through Jan. 16 at 6 p.m. ET or until they sell out. This lightsaber has LED lights allowing you to choose which color to be (the color determines if you're on the dark side or not).
Upcoming Drops
Next on the list is the G PRO X Wireless Gaming Headset for PC from Logitech, which is currently $229.99. These gaming headphones will go on sale tomorrow, Jan 17, likely starting at 11 a.m.ET like the other products in the app. I saw these headphones go down about $100 during the holidays this past year, so you can expect around the same kind of discount. Remember, you can always sign up for the push notifications and set up your app and profile before 11 a.m. ET tomorrow if you want to be reminded of the drop.
On Thursday, Jan. 18, the wireless third-generation Blink Outdoor security camera will go on sale on the app. It is currently $99.99, but Best Buy had a two-pack on sale for $72 earlier this month on Jan. 5. You can probably expect a similar discount, likely around $35.
On January 23, the fifth-generation 10.9-inch iPad Air will go on sale on the Best Buy app. It is currently $499.99 (originally $599.99), but I've seen it go down a bit lower during the holidays. You can probably expect this one to see a new record-low price once it drops on the app. If you're interested, make sure to follow the instructions above, download the app, and set reminders so you can get in the queue as soon as possible for the best chance to score an iPad Air.
