Black Friday Deals: Video-game consoles and accessories

Are video games on your holiday shopping list? No surprise if they are: 39 percent of adults are considering giving them as a gift this year. In households with kids under 12, over half (59%) plan to do so. Video games are the most popular electronics item this year, according to our first Consumer Reports Holiday Shopping Poll. Video game accessories are also hot: 18 percent plan on buying them. The arrival of the much-anticipated Microsoft Kinect certainly has something to do with this trend.
