Best Buy's 50-hour 'Black-Friday like' sale returns tonight
Last year's 50-year anniversary sale was such a hit Best Buy is bringing it back for 2017 with deals on iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Windows PCs and more.

Black Friday is only supposed to come once a year, but that hasn't stopped retailers from creating Black Friday-like sales multiple times a year. The latest one? Best Buy's 50-Hour sale, which starts at 11 p.m. EST tonight (August 18) and runs through the weekend.
Last year's 50-Hour sale was in honor of the retailer's 50th birthday. I personally think Best Buy should have gone with a 51-hour sale to mark its 51st birthday, but apparently the 2016 sale was such a hit, the marketing team decided not to mess with a good thing. So it's deja vu all over again with "great prices on everything from MacBook Pro laptops and 4K UHD TVs, to activity trackers and headphones" while supplies last.
Best Buy says nearly all the deals are available in stores and on BestBuy.com and there are additional discount coupons for students at BestBuy.com/studentdeals that can be redeemed in-store or online.
Here's what Best Buy is teasing as far as the deals go. We'll update this post with specific models when the sale goes live.
