This Friday will see a bunch of retailers offering all kinds of crazy deals in the hopes of getting you in the door to spent more money than you had initially planned on their other stuff. It's consumerism at its finest, and maybe if we all just play along, we can spend our way out of the economic downturn. OK, I'll admit that it's been a very long time since I've been in any sort of econ class, so I could be wrong about this whole "maybe if we pretend everything is OK, everything will be OK" business. I do, however, giggle everytime I hear the words "stimulus package."
Either way, if you're in the market for some new stuff, chances are there will be a retailer selling that stuff at a discount this Friday. If you're trying to find a bunch of video game deals, CitizenKane and a dedicated group of doorbusters have compiled a handy thread in our forums that list a lot of the big computer-and-game-related sales taking place later this week. Check it out!
If you're looking for something bigger than a video game, a bunch of sites pop up around this time of year to point you precisely to what you're looking for. Though I haven't really checked all of them against one-another, bfads.net seems to have a good-sized list that's easily sortable by retailer and category. Personally, I'd like to find a nice, big-ass LCD monitor for about nine dollars. So far, no luck!
