Big crowds, big deals; must be Black Friday. Shoppers battle crowds for Black Friday deals on cheap video, mp3 players, DVDs etc. Now that you’ve gorged on your Thanksgiving feast it’s time to start planning your Black Friday shopping attack.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and one of the busiest shopping days of the year, might be a bit darker this year. Consumer spending is expected to drop slightly with 128 million shoppers planning to head to the malls.The supposed biggest shopping day of the year, I’ve checked around and collected some great deals for you. Personally I won’t be leaving my house today, I much prefer shopping online.

Apple has officially unveiled their Black Friday sales for their online and retail stores. The discounts are very similar to last year’s event. The only two Mac models on sale are the iMac and Mac; $300 MacBook Pro Discounts, and iPhone Apps.

Apple’s specials are somewhat disappointing. Apple is offering discounts of up to $101 on Macs, and $21 for iPods.

Apple Black Friday deals include some third-party discounts. The Apple Store US has published the same worldwide discounts on the 20-inch iMac, and the 13-inch Macbook.

Apple’s completely unsurprising Black Friday deals appeared on their Australian site, giving us a little insight into the ‘deals’ we in the US can possibly expect tomorrow. It looks like the biggest cut will be on the new MacBooks and iMacs.

Here’s a roundup of Black Friday video game deals, with many online deals happening now! There’s stuff listed below for the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS and PSP. Also a the limited edition Gunmetal Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 resurfaces.

Going to the mall on Black Friday is something akin to slow torture. The thought of the fresh air deprivation, claustrophobic quarters, lines snaking out of doors, the inevitable mall headache and crowds, crowds, crowds.

I think black friday should be ended. If the stores all get together and end the special sales and open at regular hours this will go away. For the safety of the shoppers and the employees.

It isn’t just the people who die on Black Friday; it’s the circumstances that make those low prices possible, and the crass commercialism that convinces people the only way to show their love for their offspring is to buy them more than they need.

The start of the holiday shopping season proved deadly at both in Valley Stream, New York and Palm Desert, California.

One died In Black Friday Stampede. On the day stores hope will put them in the black, making a profit, the Friday after Thanksgiving Day and stores provide sales to draw the masses. In Long Island, at a WalMart, a staff person was trampled to death by deal-crazed shoppers. A 34-year-old WalMart employee was trying to hold back the crowds at a Long Island store at 5am, when they took the doors off their hinges and stormed the store, crushing him without prejudice. Would a good bargain at any store compel you to step on a person?

This whole Black Friday thing was always asinine beyond belief. People die in many horrible and needless ways, but this takes the cake. The culture of unbridled consumption, greed and criminality it has become.

We’re sure there are a couple things in this new Black Friday catalog to make a seven hour wait in below freezing temperatures to be followed by frantic hand-to-hand combat with other recession-hit shoppers. Some retailers said that while business was steady on Black Friday, the economy hurt sales.

Shoppers are out there, and stores have been packed as some stores opened at four in the morning. Some go for the deals while others just do it for broke.

Please stay safe out there. Hopefully you’re sick of shopping by now if you’ve been at it since 4 am or whatever ungodly hour. If none of this ‘buying stuff’ methodology is really your bag, you can always track Black Friday results and buy online on Cyber Monday, without ever leaving your chair.
