Here is a breakout of television deals taking place on Black Friday 2010. I compiled this list by going through ad scans for several stores and breaking down it all for you. You’ll find everything listed out by size. One interesting fact is that this year the sizes which seem to be the most popular are 32 and 46 inches.

Today is Halloween, but that doesn’t matter to the big retailers all around the United States. Black Friday (when stores open crazy early, for even crazier customers, for not so crazy deals) is less than four weeks ago. Even though Black Friday is until November 26th, expect a lot of deals to make their way to your TV and inbox.
Many of these retailers are already starting up. One of them is Amazon.com who isn’t going to wait until Thanksgiving to start promoting rock bottom offers. For a limited time, you can save $200 when you buy a Tivo and a television over 40 inches.

Black Friday is usually a term to describe the day after Thanksgiving but it looks like retailers are going out of their way to start offering Friday deals to consumers hoping to get them in the spending mood sooner.
Cowboom, a Best Buy company is kicking things off with a Friday sale on blu-ray players. Most models from major manufacturers sell for as much as $299, but they are selling many models for under $80.

Amazon.com isn’t known for dropping things too far in advance but there are exceptions to every rule. While doing some digging around I found the Black Friday page for Amazon’s 2009 deals. The good news is that Amazon is bound to start putting some deals up there.
The downside is that the page is currently blank as they wait to see what Dell, Walmart, and Best Buy are planning to offer before they decide to play there hand.
Any bets on how long it’s going to take before they start posting deals?
