New York City, Nov 8 (THAINDIAN NEWS) There are bigger and better deals in store for customers this Black Friday, which is all set to fall on November 27th 2009. The huge Best Buy store has got a cool contest this year too, for Black Friday. This year 25 winners not only get a $1000 gift card, luxury car ride, early admittance in the wee hours of the morning into the store itself, but also a cool Insigna 2.3MP digital camcorder to record the whole luxurious and guilt-free shopping experience. To be one of the lucky winners, any contestant can submit a 250-worded essay describing anything that excites them about Black Friday.

2009 is all set to go down as the year of the TV. Market analysts are predicting that 42″ TVs will sell slightly below the $500 mark. In fact, Best Buy recently offered a 42″ TV for just $498.99. It featured a sub-$500 42-inch Panasonic Plasma HDTV, which is quite a steal at this price.


Another interesting deal was the early Best Buy Black Friday notebook deal which includes 4GB DDR2 RAM, 320GB SATA HDD, 15.6-inch screen, ATI Radeon 4100 GPU, Wifi, 6-cell battery, card reader and DVD drive too, in it.

Black Friday is a term for the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States, which is also the auspicious beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season. It is so called, because due to the huge sales, the retailers go from ‘red’ into a very profitable ‘black.’ Huge sales and enormous queues outside retail establishments mark this day, from the wee hours of the morning itself.
