I tweeted awhile back that The Grinch stole Black Friday this year. While some new deals have come in, there isn’t a huge point to camping out at any one store this year. Sure, if your HDTV just blew a (plasma) gasket, you may want to head out about now and set up base camp.
Otherwise, this year is an online-year. Why? Well, for starters, the retailers are moving away from sensational doorbusters that only the first 50 people get. Black Friday is evolving to a more general retail day. Also, the retailers are cash-strapped due to the ongoing recession.
That said, there are a few good deals at each store that might want to be worth your browsing, especially online!
Click read more for our Black Friday guide, and stay tuned as we cover breaking deals live all-day today and tomorrow.
