Black Friday is here, and this year's deals include deep discounts on TVs, tablets and so much more. But it's not just physical items that are on sale today. You can also save big on subscriptions from major streamers, including HBO Max. The streamer just dropped a special Black Friday offer that slashes 70% off the monthly cost of its basic subscription, cutting it from $11 to $3 a month.
With all the streaming service price hikes that happened this year from services like Netflix, Peacock, Disney and HBO Max, now's your chance to take advantage of discounts. And with holiday movie season in full swing, you may be on the hunt for some of your favorite classics, such as Elf.
If you're a new or returning customer, you can subscribe to the Basic With Ads plan at that price for 12 months. So that's 12 months of HBO Max for just $36. Sign up by Monday, Dec. 1 to get access to this deal -- and the platform's huge catalog.
While you may not want to miss out on movies like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express or again, Elf, HBO Max's library carries other titles such as the latest Superman, The Wizard of Oz, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake and It: Welcome to Derry. Oh, and let's not forget the entire Harry Potter collection lives here now.

The Black Friday deal is a no-brainer, and we also urge you to check out our roundup of even more streaming service deals this season.
