Best Buy today launched an early access sale for members of the My Best Buy program, marking the first day of a new 3-Day sale that's gearing up this week. Only one Apple product has an early access discount -- the mid-2017 refresh of the MacBook Air -- but there are a few other deals on 4K television sets and Bluetooth headphones. As the week progresses and Best Buy opens up the sale to more users and adds new products, we'll be sure to share any notable discounts.

For now, take a look at a few of the early access sales below:

They have only three 3D 4KTVs and they are expensive. It does not mean amazon.com would have better prices.

Those Sony 1000X headphones are $349, not $249.

Make sure you are logged in… Shows as 249 to me.

I was tempted at that price but I don't like the reviews of how poorly they are aging for people after less than a year.

Yep, $250 if you're logged into My Best Buy. I was even thinking of picking them up for my PS4... but I'd still probably just go for the $100 Gold headset.

None of the TVs being offered through this sale are 3D-capable. In fact, no TVs for 2017 are 3D-capable, unfortunately. If you want 3D, you'll have to find one of the last remaining 2016 models from LG or Sony.

No 2017 3D TVs in the US.

Is 3D over then? One of our TV's has it but I don't think we've even ever tried it.

3D equipment and discs keep on getting released everywhere, including 3DTVs in other parts of the world.

There are many new 3D projectors in the US, but that does not really help to be used with a computer in most cases.

As good as dead in the US. There are still discs coming out but I'd put money on that stopping by end of 2018 at the very latest. 4K HDR is the new marketing hotness.

Many people do not have UHD drives (which can play 3D anyway) or 4KTVs. Blu Ray did not stop DVDs being released, and there's still many 3D movies being made, with less people going to the cinema.

Almost all the UHD releases I look at are useless, as the Blu Ray 3D is the one to buy.

I have the 2nd gen of them and while I share your concern for cracks in the headband, they are really, really good headphones.
 
Was hoping the LG 55 OLED was included because I just bought it.... wasn't too hopeful tho. Non-OLEDs no thanks

I don't doubt you, but can you provide an example of a non-US, 2017 model 3D TV? I'm curious to see which companies are supporting 3D overseas but not in the US.

There are several brands with a few 2017 3D models in Europe, but the one who has the most by far (something like 16, including country variations) is Panasonic, which is not sold at all in the US.

I was at BB today to spend a $5 reward and they had the WH-1000XM2 models out to try....unfortunately they didn't have the 1000X out for comparison of the noise reduction. But, the noise canceling of the WH-1000XM2 blew me away, it was excellent, even better than the Bose QC-35 (which they did have on display for listening). So, even though the 1000X are $100 less - I think I'd go with the WH-1000XM2, which also quotes 30 hours of battery life vs. 20 for the 1000X.
 
Im just wondering, the macbook pro 2017 model(256GB) do you all this for BF that will be on sale..right now BHPHOTOVIDEO has it for 1399 is that the best I can hope for for a 2017 model macbook pro? these apple event sales at best buy never have this model included in the sale

Just way too expensive to have the quality control problems they're having…
At least for me… Everyone can of course do what they want with their own money

You're stating your opinion over actual facts... there are less and less 3D releases and they will be gone by end of 2018 because they won't bother making discs for TVs that aren't sold anymore... and I said UHD is the new "MARKETING HOTNESS"; as in all the companies are moving over to UHD as the new "upgrade" whether or not your find them "useless" or not... sorry to ruin your day about it. I also have a 3D TV.

Nope... it’s actual fact that they are pushing UHD and pulling back on 3D... look it up.

Here ya go. I’ll leave this right here:

“However, we’re already seeing home video studios curtail their 3D releases on Blu-ray, either by exclusively bundling it with Ultra HD discs or not offering it at all on some titles” -AHEM

Anecdotal comment. Some movies were released in Blu Ray 3D in Europe but not the US.
