Amazon.com One Day Electronics Sale Counters Early Black Friday Deals Of Walmart

Topic:

Alright, deal-hunters, if you're in the mood to start your Christmas shopping a little early, Amazon.com is throwing a 24-hour sale today. The first two deals of the morning have already sold out, but if you visit here you can get ready to pounce when the next deal opens up at 10:00 AM, PST. Amazon won't say just what the next deal is, but they do claim it's a “perfect fit for your home cinema”.

Black Friday 2009 seems to think the deal could be an extra-low price on an HDTV. We do know that the deal after that, which comes online at 12:00 PM PST, is a $100 Amazon Promotional Code with the purchase of an Xbox 360 Arcade. They offered the same deal earlier this morning, and all the available codes were nabbed within minutes. This is the same Xbox 360 Arcade deal Walmart offers in stores today
If you want to get in on this deal, you'll need to be fast.

Early Best Buy Black Friday Deals Feature $498.99 42-inch HDTVs

Topic:

This is how we like it. Best Buy just published on their homepage a deal on a 42-inch Panasonic Plasma HDTV for $498.99. To find a 42-inch HDTV for under $500 has not been easy so far. I could not not find one on Amazon for instance. We reported this week that Walmart is offering a 42-inch Sharp LCD HDTV for $498 tomorrow. Best Buy is apparently attacking this Walmart early Black Friday deal.

Best Buy offers the Panasonic TC-P42C1 42-inch Plasma HDTV for $498.99. I actually prefer this TV over the Walmart offer, which is a 42-inch Sharp LC42SB45UT for $498. Best Buy sells the TC-P42C1 online right now here - better hurry.

Sony PS3 Slim 20% Off In Germany, Possible PS3 Slim Black Friday Deal?

Topic:

We rarely report about electronics sales that happen in Germany as we are focusing on our U.S. readers. But this is interesting also for the U.S. market as it might give some ideas on how low the price of the Sony PS3 Slim could go on Black Friday.
Amazon Deutschland and MediaMarkt are offering the Sony PS3 Slim right now at only 239 Euro instead of 299 Euro, which is a 20% discount.
If you apply a 20% discount on the U.S. pricing of the Sony PS3 Slim you would get a price of $239.99 instead of $299.99.

Black Friday Walmart Versus Amazon Online Price War Coming?

Topic:

In Mid-October out of nowhere a little price war was started up by Walmart against Amazon to make a point that Walmart has also the best prices online.
Walmart offered hot-pre-order book titles for $10 and soon Amazon counter attacked and the prices fell to $9 for Ford County, Under the Dome or I Alex Cross.
Amazon then decided to stop fighting and left prices at $9. Walmart under priced Amazon by 1c and later had to cut another cent as Target got into the game and matched Walmart's $8.99 pricing.

My empirical analyses showed that more customers still bought the books on Amazon when given the choice side by side with Walmart even if Walmart's price is a bit lower. This could also be the reason that Amazon did not drop the prices further on the pre-order books. They might even have sold more because of the publicity around the little price war.
In my opinion Walmart needs to under cut Amazon's pricing by an amount that breaks the habit of Amazon addicts - and most people including me suffer from the Amazon addiction. It just "feels" good and easy to buy on Amazon - click and done. Read more
