The Best Black Friday Deals, 2008

Black Friday is almost upon us--do you know where you'll be standing in line at 6 in the morning? We scoured leaked ads for the best of this year's tech-bargain bunch, and found deals on Blu-ray players, Dell's netbook, and more.

Bargain-Basement Blu-ray Player: Magnavox NB500MG9

When Wal-Mart began selling the Magnavox NB500MG9 Blu-ray Disc player for $298 last spring, many enthusiasts were thrilled to see a decent player for less than $300. On Black Friday, Wal-Mart will sell this player for $128--but apparently you'll have to head to a brick-and-mortar store to get the deal. We haven't reviewed this unit, but a glance at forum posts suggests that while it lacks frills, isn't elegantly designed, and has some playback issues with specific discs, it gets the job done with components from reputable manufacturers. A Blu-ray Disc player for less than $130 might even get me out of bed early the day after Thanksgiving.
