Okay Geek's Black Friday Guide 2011
Ricardo Trejo
By now you’ve probably already got a map drawn up with a war strategy on how to flank the competing crowds of people also seeking the best deals on tech and games. And while we did get a late start here at Okay Geek compared to year’s past, we decided to go in a different direction in how we composed 2011’s black friday guide. Instead of doing a full, comprehensive list of everything you’ll find at every store, we decided to pick our top 3 best deals from each of the major tech categories sought for during this annual ritual; i.e. tv’s, laptops, hard drives. We went this route because it’s all about getting the stuff you really need and where to get it, right?
