We are collectively over, for better or worse, lamenting the commercialization of the holiday season. We now gleefully lean into it with the post-Thanksgiving purchasing orgy known as Black Friday ... a multi-day celebration of what's left of the global supply chain that leads into another mass marketing concept, "Cyber Monday." 

And subscription streaming is in on the action. Here are five deals we found:

Hulu Basic for 99 Cents a Month

Hulu's most popular and affordable tier just got dirt-cheap for 12 months, with Hulu offering its basic, ad-supported plan to new and eligible returning customers for 99 cents a month for one year. 

Given the regular $6.99-a-month regular price, that's a savings of $72 a year. 

The offer expires on Nov. 30. Returning Hulu customers must have quit the service more than a month prior to be eligible. 

Sling TV Free for One Month

Sling TV is offering new subscribers a free month of service when they commit to a first month. The offer, however, ends Monday. 

If you don't act fast enough, no biggie--Sling TV is still offering both its Blue and Orange tiers, each regularly priced at $35 a month, for only $10 the first month. 

The combined tier (regularly $50 a month) is priced at $20 a month. 

Three Free Months of Apple TV Plus Without Buying an Apple Gadget?

It's not easy to find an Apple TV Plus user who actually pays the $4.99 rate for the service, given Apple's aggressive promotional strategy for its two-year-old SVOD service. 

And these days, you don't even need to buy an iPhone or Macbook Pro to get the exclusive home to Ted Lasso for free. As an enticement to signing up for a store purchasing account, Best Buy is offering three free months of Apple TV Plus, as well as six free months of Apple Music. 

Again, you must create a Best Buy account to get the promo. 

YouTube TV for $14.99 for the First Month

Google is offering a steep first-month discount for the most popular virtual pay TV service, YouTube TV, marking the regular $64.99-a-month price  down to just $14.99. 

YouTube TV offers more than 85 channels and features the most robust selection of live-sports options in the vMVPD realm.

Amazon Channels Free for the First Two Months

We might have saved the best for last with this one. 

Amazon is offering two months free of a bunch of SVOD services that it sells through its Amazon Prime Video Channels platform. Included in that mix is Paramount Plus, Discovery Plus, Showtime, Starz, AMC Plus and Britbox. 

The offer is only available to Amazon Prime Video members and ends Monday, Nov. 29. 

Comcast said it will cater to online bargain hunters by opening up access to its footprint of Xfinity WiFi public hotspots on “Cyber Monday.”

The MSO, which has deployed more than 15 million Xfinity WiFi hotspots in public and business locations and in home-side gateways, said it will provide free access to all, including non-Comcast subs, for a 24-hour period starting 6 a.m. ET Monday (Nov. 28).

Where WiFi access is available from Comcast, customers and non-subs alike will be able to log in by clicking the “xfinitywifi” network ID.

“Many bargain-hunters will be away from their homes, as they travel to and from work, running errands around town or visiting family and friends,” the MSO noted in this blog post. 

Sling TV and Roku are getting an early jump on Black  Friday with deals and upcoming offers that arrive amid a forecast from the Consumer Technology Association that consumers will be buying tech-related toys and gizmos in record numbers starting next week.

Taking advantage of the fact that its service does not require an installation appointment, Sling TV said it’s offering gift cards at Walmart, Best Buy and GameStop stores around the country. Walmart stores will carry $25 Sling TV gift cards, while Best Buy and GameStop will offer them in increments up to $100. The cards, also offered at Sling.com and through  eGifter, can be redeemed online.

On the device side, Sling TV is offering Apple TV boxes for $89 (versus a retail price of $149) to customers who prepay for three months of service, and 50% off a Roku Premiere+ (usually $100) under the same prepay option. It’s also offering a free Roku Streaming Stick when subs pony up for three months of service.

Roku has some of its own deals on the way:

-Roku Streaming Stick at Best Buy and other major retailers starting Nov. 20 for $35.99 (down from $49.99).

-Price cut on the Roku Express+ exclusively at Walmart for $25 (down from $39.99) starting Nov. 24.

-The Roku 2 for $44.99 exclusively at Kohl’s starting Nov. 21.

-The Roku 3 for $49.99 exclusively at Best Buy starting Nov. 24.

The CTA said it expects a record 116 million Americans – or about 47% of the adult population, will purchase tech or tech accessories during Black Friday Week.

Its 2016 Pre-Black Friday Survey anticipated a 10% jump in the number of U.S. adults planning to buy tech products from the Monday before Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday (November 21-28, 2016).

“By all accounts, the 2016 Black Friday week looks like it will be a record breaker for tech,” said Shawn DuBravac, Ph.D., chief economist, CTA, in a statement.  “Even with delayed promotions from retailers and manufacturers, and signs of pre-election uncertainty, we expect consumer enthusiasm for technology purchases during the holidays to be higher than ever.”

CTA said the top 10 tech products shoppers plan to buy are:

1. Televisions 
2. Laptop computers 
3. Smartphones 
4. Videogame consoles
5. Tablet computers 
6. Headphones 
7. Tech accessories  
8. DVD or Blu-ray Disc players 
9. Digital cameras 
10. Wearables

Among other more specific categories, CTA expects 1.2 million drones to be sold in the U.S. during the Q4 holiday season, as well as 700,000 VR headsets, and 4.5 million 4K/Ultra HD TVs. 

Smartphones, TVs and tablets topped shopping lists as about 59.9 million Americans bought or planned to buy technology products over Thanksgiving shopping week, which includes the Monday before Thanksgiving through “Cyber Monday,” according to the Consumer Technology Association, the organization formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Association.

Online and mobile shoppers are expected to approach the number of in-store shoppers, the CTA said, citing the findings of a post-Black Friday survey. A combined 85% of consumers who shopped did so online or via mobile, compared to 94% who shopped at brick-and-mortar stores, the organization said.

CTA expects that Americans will spend $40 billion over the week, with consumers who shop spending an average of $319. That’s a 14% decrease over 2014, but higher than the numbers pulled in during 2013.

Overall, 27% of U.S. adults shopped on Black Friday, up from 24% in 2014, and 10% shopped on Thanksgiving, down from 14% last year.

Though final numbers are yet to be tallied, the CTA said the top 10 tech purchases during the week are expected to be:

1.    Smartphones
2.    Televisions
3.    Tablets
4.    Tech accessories
5.    Laptops
6.    Videogame consoles
7.    DVD/Blu-Ray Players
8.    Headphones
9.    Fitness activity trackers

10.  Digital media streaming devices

"For the first time, emerging tech products such as fitness activity trackers and digital streaming devices broke into the top ten most-purchased tech products over the holiday shopping week," said Shawn DuBravac, Ph.D., the CTA’s chief economist and senior director of research, in a statement. "The perennial Black Friday tech favorites such as smartphones and televisions dominated American's tech purchases again this year."
