Hello, phones on sale
Get the most popular handset (possibly ever?) that's not an Apple device, the HTC One, for only $ 29.99 on contract from Best Buy. You can also pick up the One from Amazon for only $ 0.01 on contract with Sprint, Verizon or AT&T.

The ever popular tablets
The newest Nexus 7 is already cheap as it is but thanks to Black Friday, these stores went further and made it even cheaper.
$ 199 will get you 16GB and $ 239 for the 32GB - both of which are $ 30 less than usual retail prices from Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy.
The iPad Air is just as hot as that Nexus (probably even more) but watch out for that steep price tag.
However, it looks like you can pick up a 16GB Wi-Fi only Air from Best Buy for $ 499, and from both Walmart and Target for $ 479.
More tablets deals to check out:
- iPad mini for $ 299 plus $ 75 gift card (Target)
- 7-inch Nook HD 8GB for $ 79.99 (Target)
Don't worry, laptops are still cool

Can't forget games
There are decent sized game lists for both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One m eaning plenty of slashed Black Friday game prices to choose from.
But don't count out their brethren, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 - with all the next-gen stuff, there's even more "old" gen games going on sale too, which is great if you plan on sticking with the older consoles for awhile.
Amazon game deals:
- Xbox 360 250 GB Holiday Value Bundle including Halo 4 and Tomb Raider, $ 189.99
- PS3 250GB Bundle including The Last of Us and Batman Arkham Origins, $ 199

PC parts on sale
Like laptops being shown up by tablets, PCs have competition from the aforementioned next-gen consoles. But to a PC, "next-gen" was five plus years ago and current gen components will be console fodder in ten years.
Building your own rig can break the bank sometimes, so Black Friday is the perfect time to stock up on parts.
- RAIDMAX Altas ATX-295WB Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, $ 15 after rebate and promo code PREBLKFR55 (Newegg)
