Black Friday 2012 to Hit the 1 Billion Mark!

---

Black Friday 2012 is going to be a real special Black Friday. Many analyst believe Black Friday 2012 sales will hit the $1 billion mark. Black Friday is a retailers dream due to the fact that consumers will spend money regardless of the status of our economy because either way people would want to save money during a recession or people would want to spend money because they have the extra money to do so. This year, the busiest shopping day of the year has generated double digit increases (in percentage) from sales to online traffic. Popular items that consumer were very interested in this year were HDTVs, tablets, and laptops (as expected, all electronics). According to Techcrunch, Black Friday 2011 has generated over $816 million in sales, which is a 26% increase from the previous year (2010) at $648 million. If this continues, we expect Black Friday 2012 to hit the $1 billion mark. Online traffic was also a big hit on Black Friday as Americans increase 35% compared to the previous year. Once again, Amazon.com had the most visitors on Black Friday followed by Walmart, Best Buy, Target and Apple.

I know we're still 300+ days until Black Friday 2012 but its never too early to predict what the HOT items are next year. If the trend continues, we expect to see electronics being a huge hit on Black Friday. We expect HDTVs again on Black Friday, could next year be the year of 3D TVs? or how about Apple TV (not the small box) an ACTUAL TV. We believe tablets next year will be a VERY close second place to TVs with the release of iPad 3 (or 2S), Asus Transformer Prime and Amazon Fire (with camera?).  The sleeper? Video game console. Microsoft next year is rumored to release the XBOX 720 (Q4 - 2012?), we expect that to create a lot of attention next year even at a non-discounted price.

Amazon / Best Buy / Toys'R'Us Video Games Sale!

---

Looking to video game deal for yourself or for someone for Christmas? This week, Amazon, Toys'R'Us and Best Buy have attractive deals just in time for Christmas. Amazon and Toys'R'Us has a buy one get one 50% off deal while Best Buy has a Buy 2 get one free on video games $29.99 or more. Amazon's video game deal is very limited as it is buy one get one off select video games while Toys'R'Us and Best Buy sale is open to all video games.  This is one of the best video game deals we've seen in months.
Depending on the number of games you purchase, of the three video game deals, Best Buy has the best deal out of the three. 

        Here is the math, let's say the video game you wanted cost $59.99. 

        Amazon and Toys'R'Us deal is buy one get one 50% which makes it ($59.99 + 29.99 (50% off) =  $89.98 / 2 (number of games         purchased) = $44.99/each) 

        On the other hand, Best Buy has a buy 2 get 1 free game which makes ($59.99 + $59.99 + Free game ($59.99) = $119.98 / 3 (number         of games purchased) = $39.99/each) 

The concept above only works if 2 or 3 games are for the same price. Usually, Amazon, Toys'R'Us and Best Buy will deduct the free or 50% off game to the lowest price game. In addition the prices above does not include tax so that varies depending on your location. We highly recommend getting this as soon as possible as some of the new video games will run out fast. 

• Amazon Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off Sale 
• Toys'R'Us Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off Sale
• Best Buy Buy 2 Get 1 Free Sale
