Amazon.com One Day Electronics Sale Counters Early Black Friday Deals Of Walmart Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review

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.

Black Friday Walmart Versus Amazon Online Price War Coming?

Topic:

Black Friday Walmart Versus Amazon Online Price War Coming? Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review 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
