Happy Thanksgiving! With that said, we all know that the day after is one of the most awaited days for gadget shoppers since it’s Black Friday. Usually associated with ridiculously cheap and possibly even free items, how does this year’s Black Friday size up?

There are several resources for a complete list of Black Friday deals. Some stores are offering sales prior to Friday and most places have the same prices online so you can shop from the comfort of your room.

BFAds.net offers a nice list of ads from all the stores that are offering deals and includes a search feature as well as a section that compares online deals that the stores are offering to what you can get by going to a brick and mortar store. Slickdeals has a dedicated section of their forum specifically for Black Friday, including a spreadsheet that has a list of items for sale so you can easily cross reference multiple stores for a line of items (it’s really well put together - you should download it).

I already purchased a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint 32MB cache SATA hard drive from Newegg for 94.99 with free shipping. It’s not listed as a Black Friday deal for Newegg, but it’s currently one of the best prices for one of the best 1TB hard drives out there.
