As for online deals, I found Amazon.com had deals running all week, with different deals starting everyday beginning today the 23rd. Store.nhl.com has several deals for hockey fans that start from what I understood at 12am Friday morning. TVdeals.gizmocafe.com had several links to tv and other electronics sales being offered.

Amazon had some very attractive deals on certain things like dvd's and blue ray disc. Another interesting thing I found out and never knew before was something known as "Cyber Monday". This is the following Monday after Black Friday. On this day in the U.S. online shopping spikes to a higher level than any other day in the U.S. This is believed to be the result of people wanting to avoid the massive shopping mall crowds on Black Friday. Online sellers offer sales on this day that are just as good as sales being offered in traditional stores on Black Friday. This to me seems like a far better way to shop, as I for one am not a big fan of shopping to begin with so I definitely dont like the idea of being trampled at Wal-Mart by insane people trying to get a free $25 dvd player that probably cost wal-mart a whole $1.50, and was made in Mexico. Sure you may have wait for your items to be shipped for a few days, but many chain retailers such as Best Buy offer free in store pick up of your ordered items so you can wait for all the lunatics to be done shopping and then go get your stuff when you are ready.
