We know you're eager to start your holiday shopping, so while we won't be open on Thanksgiving, we're opening bright and early at 8 AM on Black Friday, and beginning Saturday 11/30 we'll be opening an hour early every day until Christmas!

I can barely drive, so you should be impressed I was able to successfully pilot this flight sim rig while talking to the camera about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and the flight sim demo stations landing this week at select @MicroCenter stores. youtube.com/shorts/qgi69Ez0i…
I'm a pretty jaded laptop reviewer, but you really need to see the nano texture screen on the new M4 MacBook Pro in person -- it's amazing. Hands-on coming up, in the meantime, go check it out in-person. microcenter.com/product/6882…
Early Black Friday -- the Sansui 55-inch OLED TV, already one of the best deals out there, is now down to $599 (!) at @MicroCenter. 120Hz LG panel, Google TV, 4xHDMI.
