I didn't follow it much in brick-n-mortar stores (not a big fan of crowds), but this is definitely an interesting observation. Thank you, <b>Trisha</b>. Additionally, it's important to stress that the tendency to tease with "deals" which, in reality, were <i>no deals at all</i> was quite commonplace. A few days ago, I blogged about <a href="http://www.amnavigator.com/blog/2009/11/27/black-friday-to-buy-or-not-to-buy/" rel="nofollow">BestBuy.com's Black Friday pricing vs TheNerds.net's regular pricing</a>, and found it interesting to see today's <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/183338/cybermonday_gaming_deals_demystified.html" rel="nofollow">PCWorld.com's blog post on demystification of Cyber Monday deals</a>. It appears that quite a few of the "bargains" weren't such if you had the time to compare them with competing merchants. Interesting.

It looks like Black Friday is seeping into the entire week, which is good for me... I went out just to run some errands on Friday and all the shopping centers were just MADHOUSES lol.
