Well, I'm from the UK and Its kinda annoying that you (mainland Americans) get the big sales BEFORE christmas- over on this side of the atlantic we have to wait till at least Boxing day (Dec 26th) or New Years for the dirt cheap sales.

The reason that it is called black Friday is because it is usually the day that retail stores determine if they are going to make a profit for the year hence be in the black or whether they are going to be in the red. A good majority of shopping is done between the Friday after Thanksgiving and Christmas

The deals are outrageous. People were getting 48x burners for $10 and cd-r's for free. After rebate, of course. 
Bestbuy had an amazing deal on a rig on friday. I'll see if i can remember specs:
Celly 2.0ghz
40 or 60 gig hd
cd-rw 48x20x40
dvdrom
case
some crappy vid card
other stuff
All for 300 bucks
if you wanted a 15" lcd with it, only 200 buck more

The malls turn into mini-Rodney King Riots. Fun to watch from a distance, actually...

seriously
The Galleria here opened up at 1a.m. Friday morning. I didn't really want to go, but my brother and a friend wanted to go and I didn't have anything better to do. It was like a madhouse, we went in one store, saw that it was like a one hour wait to buy some clothes, turned around and walked out.
