Black Friday sales arrive early this year
These are tough economic times, so retailers are launching their Black Friday specials weeks early to motivate budget-conscious buyers. You can normally find the latest Black Friday ads on sites like BlackFriday.info, Bargainist.com, DealTaker.com, BFads.net, and TheBlackfriday.com, so check those out before you go shopping this weekend, because it looks like retailers are slashing prices early this year.
Here's a list of sales happening right now, just to give you an idea:
Walmart: Starting November 8th, Walmart will have in-store specials starting at 8 am. The retailer will be selling several 15.4-inch Compaq CQ50-139WM laptops for $298, Sony's 2GB Walkman player for $49, Samsung's S760 point-and-shoot digital camera in red for $89, a 46-inch Sanyo 1080p LCD HDTV for $798.
Best Buy will also be marking down the eMachines laptop (eMD620-5777) for $299 according to BFAds.net. The laptop includes a 14.1-inch screen, 1GB DDR2, 160GB hard drive, Windows Vista, and AMD Athlon 2650e processor. The site has a side-by-side comparison of this laptop versus the Compaq notebook being sold at Walmart.
Kmart is offering the 32-inch Sylvania LCD HDTV for $440 and the Wii Fit for $90, according to I4U, and Sears has a lot of sales in the electronics department too, so check those out.
Circuit City will be closing some stores this quarter, so it may be running lots of promotions off and online too. Engadget HD found this Sony Blu-ray player for $177 on its website, so you might want to look around between now and Black Friday for more savings.

本报讯 黑色星期五（感恩节后，11月第4个星期四，开业的第一天），同时人们通常由此开始圣诞节大采购，很多商店都会顾客盈门从而有大额进帐。而传统上用不同颜色的墨水来记账，红色表示亏损即赤字，黑色表示盈利。所以把这个星期五叫做黑色星期五，用以表示这一天期待会有盈利。而商店的员工则使用黑色星期五这一名字来自嘲，表示这一天会忙得要死。
往年各商家要到最后一刻才公布自己的降价商品清单，并把这看作商业秘密今年的情况和往年大不相同，由于今年的金融风暴和美国经济的大幅下滑，各商家已经等不及等待了。以沃尔马为龙头老大的各零售商本周一分别将各类降价的物品上架，并打出价格战。Best Buy、Circuit City、Target和Kmart纷纷推出各式电器和高科技产品，如高清晰度平面电视、手提电脑、照相机和各式新式手机等，价钱也是便宜的离谱。
不少商家已经开始利用媒体刊登广告，发放优惠券，对商品大幅降价等措施来吸引顾客。田纳西州各地的零售商家纷纷效仿，当地的专家普遍认为，今年的黑色星期五来的比往年都早。
