Black Friday 2012 is less than a week away and Walmart, Best Buy, Target and other major retailers are pushing ads about their major price slashes on popular Christmas gifts like laptops, TVs, Xbox360, digital cameras, and smartphones.
Electronic superstore Best Buy announced that doors will open at 12:00 a.m. Friday and tickets will be handed out two hours before the midnight opening. But online deals begin Thanksgiving Day and there is also the bonus of free shipping – no camping out inthe cold and free shipping?

Now, if someone on your Christmas list needs a tablet, Best Buy is selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7'' w/8GB Memory (white) with $20 Best Buy gift card for $179.99, down from $249.99. Need a Dr. Seuss movie? "The Lorax" DVD is selling for a mere $3.99, down from $19.99. Need something a little more mature? How about "Hunger Games" (Blu-ray) only for $8.99, down from $24.99.
