Re-activateIt's never too early to start planning for a major electronics purchase during the holiday season—and it may make more sense than ever this year.
Traditionally, the season's first (and often best) blowout sales on electronics are on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. But in anticipation of tightfistedness among electronics consumers, retailers are already cutting prices sharply, as many analysts have been predicting since early in the fall.
We'll track some of the pre-season deals in a series of "Holiday Headstart" posts in the coming five-or-so weeks that lead to the bird and Black Friday. First up, our audio-video specialist Jim Willcox will blog on some of the enticing early offers on Blu-ray players and flat-panel TVs. We'll also offer buying tips and in other product areas, too.
Meantime, where are you at on your buying plans? Are you already planning your purchases? Share your thoughts with us below. —Paul Reynolds
