From our front-page news:
I admit, I am never too impressed by Black Friday, even if some of the deals can't be beat. I'm the kind of person who generally can't stand going to the mall on normal day, so battling hundreds of rabid shoppers in the wee hours of the morning sure doesn't do it for me. But, if you have a bit more strength than I do, and plan on sacrificing your sleep tomorrow to score some sweet deals, then you might appreciate taking a look at some of the roundups posted around the Web. Yes, this is our roundup roundup.
I've scoured the Web to find some of the best roundups out there, and while not exactly a roundup per se, the first stop you might want to make is Black Friday Ads, a site dedicated to supplying you with quick links to Black Friday deals from a variety of stores, including Sears, Best Buy, Newegg and a lot more. The second place to hit up would have to be Gizmodo, because their staff states it's the "only list you need", and I'm not about to disagree. It's huge.
Gizmodo's roundup might be a bit on the definitive side, but if you still haven't seen something that strikes your fancy, there are a slew of smaller roundups around the Web, such as the one at DailyTech, focusing more on computers and TVs. i4u also has one that doesn't quite single out particular deals, but links to some of the best out there. There are a few "best of" Black Friday roundups as well, from CrunchGear and CNET.
Engadget also has a spread out "roundup", but it's for the dedicated since it's hard to find the gems (there's no actual list). For some of the biggest online e-tailers, you could just go straight to the site to see all of the deals, as none make them hard to find. At quick look, I could easily find Black Friday deals at Amazon.com, Newegg.com, Walmart (you need to put in your zip code), and for the gaming-afflicted, there's GameStop's.
Alright, so there are a lot of deals out there, and while a lot of sales are going on today, the biggest ones don't happen until tomorrow morning, so you can calmly begin your planning now. If I can offer one word of advice... be careful out there, and remember, money isn't everything. If a situation at a store gets dangerous, get out of there. We don't need another one of these events!
