After reading countless Black Friday store ads, a few things stand out as possibly “good” deals. There are plenty of places to start your search, but Google “black Friday deals” should be sufficient.
Gamers are particularly hyped about the gift card deals with selected purchases of games at Amazon. Couple those deals with the previously available $150 Sony Style discount makes a pretty appealing deal. Amazon’s current one day sale for $300 includes the Xbox 360 60 GB holiday bundle, Lego Batman, and 1600 Xbox points.
Best Buy is really pushing its inventory of LCD Televisions in its current flyers. The cake in terms of deals for a LCD monitor (no TV tuner) is the Westinghouse 37” from Buy.com for $550 shipped.
There is the unconfirmed rumor that Apple is planning something big for their Black Friday. No word if they finally will offer a discount on the iPhone. This is if they want to gain ground against the Blackberry.
Expect a stronger showing for this Cyber Monday, with internet retailers pushing hard for your dollars in this slumping economy. Amazon is one example of this, and there are plenty of deals on eBay. Microsoft Live Cash back is still going strong at 25%, and Dell still has the 15% promotion.
What goes on in those over-nights Black Friday lines is a mystery, but bring plenty of your favorite caffeinated beverage and a warm coat.
