Black Friday Madness
In previous years, Black Friday sales have focused on electronics, gift items like toys, and items for the home. Top retailers typically offer deep discounts on items like LCD televisions, DVD and Blu-Ray players, digital cameras, movies, video games and game systems and computers.http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/black-friday-2009-walmarts-video-game-sale-items-revealed/
With the biggest discounts starting early in the morning, shoppers on Black Friday often line up inside and outside of stores several hours before sales begin. The combination of "door-buster" deals and limited quantities of hot items at each store in the past have caused Black Friday violence. In 2009, an employee at a New York Wal-Mart was killed and a pregnant woman was hospitalized after shoppers rushed the doors before opening time, causing a stampede.http://www.nypost.com/p/news/regional/item_stv8Nzjd0Pzla9RuQzyduI;jsessionid=9CEBEEB2E2AEF40A5E989872E406642E
