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.

Panasonic 42-Inch Viera Plasma TV (TH-42PZ80U)

This handsome 42-inch 1080p plasma from Panasonic is being phased out, but it's still listed at $1300 on Panasonic's Web site, and it's a great set. With plasma TVs, Panasonic has been a consistent and solid performer.

The $900 Black Friday price tag at Circuit City, however, will save money primarily for people who can pick it up in person: Though several online retailers are already selling the TH-42PZ80U at that price (or lower), shipping invariably adds $100 or more, so even with local sales tax you'll probably do better if you can get help carting the set home.
