Not ready to brave the crowds? Don't despair, those in-store doorbuster deals are for suckers anyway. So instead of heading out to fight the maddening crowds, shop smart from the comfort of your home or office.
Here is what I found very early Friday that's new and worth checking out.
iPod Touch: As expected, Apple's deals are not the major slash-o-ramas they were rumored to be. But Apple is offering one of the best deals you can find online this Black Friday for an 8GB iPod Touch . You can pick one up for just $178 from the Apple Store--$41 off the regular price. You can also save $31 on the 16GB Touch at $268, and $41 off the 64G Touch at $358.
TIP: If you haven't already, check out Mac Mall for some great Black Friday prices on Mac computers.
PlayStation 3: Many online retailers have already sold out of their PS3 bundles, but at the time of this writing Amazon was selling the PS3 (120GB) with Infamous and Kill Zone 2 for $299.99.
TomTom GPS: New Egg and Target are offering the TomTom XL 340 Navigation System for $97. The unit has a 4.3-inch screen and comes preloaded with maps for the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Storage: You won't have to worry about how you're going to store all those high-def movies if you pick up a 1TB Seagate external hard drive for $69.99 from Staples.
Tip: Wal-Mart is offering five movie titles on pre-order for under $10 . Most are online deals only, and titles include Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Julie and Julia, G-Force and Terminator Salvation. G-Force has the latest DVD release date (December 15), the rest will be out by December 8.
Camcorders: Best Buy has some deals on camcorders that are going fast. You can get a Flip Video UltraHD for $179.99, which actually isn't that great of a deal, but a Flip Video Mino with 60-minutes of recording time for $99.99 isn't too shabby. There are also some Panasonic, JVC and Canon models worth checking out.
So there's 10 more deals for today's shopping festivities. Want more Black Friday deals?
