This week you're going to be inundated with news about sales for Black Friday, which is now just four days away. The data can get overwhelming, and it's hard to remember from one link to the next where the absolute best deals are going to be.
Here's some help: The good people at Retrevo have offered up an extensive yet well-organized guide to the best Black Friday electronics deals around, broken down by product category and including everything you'll need to know if you want to be one of the lucky few who nab one of these big discounts. Remember: Most Black Friday deals are offered in limited quantities and are available only to the first people through the door. In many cases that means lining up well before dawn if you want a shot.
Here are some suggestions drawn from the Retrevo guide on where to best pick your battles.

> 15.4-inch HP notebook with 3GB RAM from Office Depot, $350
> Garmin nuvi 205 GPS from Best Buy, $120

> Dell Inspiron 530s desktop with 2GB RAM from Dell.com, $300

I'm really unimpressed by the "deals" I've seen thus far. Take the sharp LCD TV, you can get that for $789 right now on Amazon. I think I'm going to hang off to do my electronics shopping until after Christmas when they will actually have to lower prices after terrible Black Friday & Christmas seasons.
