Black Friday Comparison Guide
Posted on: November 21, 2007
Obviously, there are a million electronics deals available on Black Friday. But how do you know you are getting the best deal that makes it worth getting up at 4AM in the morning and fighting with thousands of other people for only a couple of in-stock items? And which stores have the best savings?
Luckily Gizmodo did the hard work for us this year. This is what they have to say:
Here’s the problem with Black Friday. Other than the one of two clearly awesome deals per store, it’s tough to know if standing your butt in the cold all night will actually save you more money than doing some online comparison shopping from the comfort of your own, very warm home. But the truth is, Black Friday does have incredible deals and it can save you hundreds of dollars on big-ticket electronics—if you play your cards right.
So we have sorted through the deals for you, listed the real savings (based upon comparative online searches, none of this retail priced crap) and categorized the best stuff for you to consider. Hit the jump for the Ultimate Black Friday Deal Guide—we wasted several hours so you wouldn’t have to.

Here’s my general advice for what to buy (or not buy) on Black Friday this year:
- Buy yourself a GPS unit. They have ridiculous deals on them this year.
- Don’t kill yourself trying to get the Poloroid LCD TV specials from Walmart. Those actually go on sale a lot.
- Don’t bother with point-and-shoot digital cameras this year. You’ll get as good a deal online after Black Friday.
