Black Friday Electronics Sales and Online Deals: 2008 (HDTV, Blu-ray and More)
By Big Picture Big Sound Deal Meister
As the economy limps along, consumer electronics retailers are desperate for their share of a dwindling pool of holiday dollars, and this has led to some excellent deals on electronics items such as HDTVs, Blu-ray Disc players, home theater systems, universal remotes, digital cameras and more. Although some deals are being held until Black Friday (or the following Monday known as "Cyber Monday"), many are already available or will be starting Sunday of Thanksgiving week from those retailers who don't want to wait to clear out excess inventory and start on the road to profitability. Some of these deals are below cost, but don't worry - they'll make it up on volume. :)
We've been keeping an eye on the online deals, posting our favorites in our "Home Theater Deals" section. Here are a few of those and some new ones that we've just discovered. Bookmark this page and keep checking back for updates (newest deals will be posted at the top of each category).
Please note that many of these deals are subject to cancellation without notice and may involve limited supplies so act on these quickly. If you click through on an offer and the page is gone or price has changed, then this offer is no longer valid. "Deals Available Now" section will be updated with new deals as we find them. Note that some of these prices will be valid throughout the weekend and beyond.
