Before you start plotting and scheming for Black Friday, know that some deals are already rolling out online. If you can start shopping a little earlier, you can sleep off that pie next week without missing out on any of the good deals. Also, you won't have to worry about wrestling a giant HDTV from another shopper and deal with having to squeeze it into your car!
For instance, we just found the Panasonic 60-inch TC-P60U50 1080p Plasma up for grabs on Amazon, for a mere $898 - now lowered to $798!
This is a crazy-low price for a crazy-big HDTV! Also, that purchase includes free shipping right to your front door, so you won't have to deal with car or back issues. Find out more about this purchase and the product on Amazon:
Note: price has been updated since we originally posted this article as it was lowered an additional $100 on 11/18. In order to see and get the $798 price, you may need to add the TV to your cart from the link on the right side of the page that says "More Buying Choices: Amazon.com" and check the price in your cart to verify the $798 price before you complete checkout.
It's also an inexpensive way to add a giant HDTV into your home. The TC-P60U50 doesn't have 3D effects or web-streaming features. It's just a big, beautiful HDTV. Featuring a full 1080p HD image, this 60-incher has fast-switching phosphors and the 600Hz sub-field drive for excellent moving image reproduction. Also, if you want to add in a streaming set-top box, a Blu-ray player, or one of your other AV favorites, this model has two HDMI inputs and one USB port.

To take advantage of the shipping, just select the Super Saver shipping option during checkout. And, you'd better order soon if you want someone to have a very happy holiday season!
