Black Friday isn't until Nov. 25 but that hasn't stopped popular retailers from offering up early deals.
Over at Amazon.com, the company has a "Countdown to Black Friday" event going on, with lightning deals and discounts on electronics, games, and more.
The lightning deals offer up a particular product for a set amount of time, usually a few hours. There's a limited number available, but the discounts are pretty steep. An HP Officejet Pro 8500A wireless all-in-one printer, for example, is now on offer for $199, down from $499.99; there's about an hour left to nab the deal.
In the countdown deals section, a 15.6-inch Asus A53E-XA2 is selling for $529.99, down from $679.99. A 15.6-inch Dell Inspiron 15RN is also $100 off at $499.99.
In mobile, a Motorola Triumph from Virgin Mobile is getting a $50 discount to $259.04. Amazon is also offering up a $100 Amazon.com gift card with any purchase of a hotspot-enabled smartphone or a $50 gift card if you buy a standalone hotspot device. Eligible smartphones include the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G, Motorola Droid Bionic, Motorola Photon 4G, and the Motorola Droid RAZR, among others.
There are a variety of camera options, including the Canon PowerShot SD4500IS 10-megapixel point and shoot for $179.95, down from $399. A Panasonic DMC-ZS9 14.1-megapixel digital camera with 16x optical zoom is also $193.95, down from $249.99.
On the TV front, a 47-inch LG Infinia HDTV is $850, down from $1,299.99. A 42-inch version is $679.98, down from $1,099.99.
Amazon also has a daily email alert with warnings about pre-Black Friday deals.
