Apple Thoughts: Online or In Person, That is the Question

"Four days left until Black Friday! Time to start camping out in front of your computer. Amazon this morning kicked off Black Friday week with a landing page devoted to the consumer holiday. The page is devoted to more than just Friday, with "doorbuster-style deals now through Cyber Monday"--a full week of discounts, starting today."

If you are like me, I avoid Black Friday shopping like the plague. No deal is worth dealing with the crowds in my opinion, but over the last few years I haven't had to thanks to the Internet. You can go to the Amazon.com Black Friday Deals page to get some bargains, and it's actually up and running now so you can get a jump start on shopping. But they aren't the only source for online deals as this story from Appletell proves, listing a number of online deals you can take advantage of right now. And for you Xbox fans, you aren't left out in the cold since Microsoft has some deals for you as well. But if you just have to go out and brave the crowds, a story posted at TechCrunch may be of use to you, as they recommend using DealMap to find all the best Black Friday shopping deals in your area. So if you choose to sit on the couch, or brave the crowds, there is some help for you. Good Luck!
