Each year Best Buy offers some of the very best Black Friday deals. Every year, thousands of customers, all over the United States, set up camp outside the beloved store to wait for 4 AM sales that typically include fantastic deals on high-tech must haves, such as laptops, Bluray players, and video game consoles.

This year, in hopes of pulling in customers ahead of Black Friday, Best Buy began offering huge sales both online and off. One such “early bird” sale included an E-Machines laptop for $199 and a camcorder for $60.

Last year, Best Buy’s Black Friday shoppers were able to score more than one model of HDTV for less than $500. Hot appliances like a stackable, front-loading LG washer and dryer pair sold for less than $1,000. Black Friday 2011 is expected to be bigger and better than ever.
