Something tells me you won't be the only one. It would take some seriously incredible deals to get me to the mall this Black Friday... but I think the real problem is, everyone is cash strapped. The news media has been saying that consumer spending is currently the lowest in 25 years and I really doubt that this season is gonna see retailers happy. There are no game console releases besides a run on Wii's that will happen, and there aren't many must have items that can be sold at a profit. Netbooks flooding the market have caused laptop prices to decrease due to competition - I was expecting there to be some Black Friday netbook deals but so far nada.
This is shaping up to be the worst christmas season ever. Circuit City is Chapter 11 for godssakes.

This is why I'll be doing my black Friday shopping on a comfy chair on my laptop in my house. Then I'll go back to bed.

LOL Circuit City is selling $199 Xbox 360 Arcades with a 20GB REFURBISHED Hdd.
That sounds tasty.
