Black Friday 2011: Gaming Console and Games Deals Leaked
With Black Friday only a few weeks away, most big name retailers are itching to get into the race.
Many stores are offering pre-Black Friday deals and Super Saturday door busters because stores will do anything to get consumers in their stores or at least to their website.
With gaming and electronics being the big hitters, retailers have leaked and then re-leaked sales, deals and door busters. However, consumers need to be careful when they start to go cross-eyed after hours of looking at ads, coupons, and clippings. Some deals are only for a particular day while others are for a particular time – usually a few hours during the day.
