Best Buy’s Black Friday ad has leaked, which means it’s time to do some serious itinerary planning for the big day. See, I like me and my fiancee set up a full contingency plan based on what we want the most for us, then comes gifts for others. Come on, we need to set priorities people! Strategy is the name of the game on Black Friday.

So Best Buy has some moderately cool deals, especially in the video game department, but nothing mind-blowing. Though what might be notable is that Best Buy is not going to allow for anyone to get hurt this year because of their doorbuster deals. Apparently they don’t take “death by stampede” lightly. All doorbuster sales will be handled via tickets, which will be passed out up to two hours before the 5 am door openings. Hit the jump for a full-list of Black Friday Best Buy deals. Doorbusters are followed by an asterisk.

I’ve already ordered four shirts (including the one pictured above). This deal was way too good to pass up.

In honor of 09/09/09, Threadless has lowered the price of all of their t-shirts to only $9 until 4 PM CST (6 PM EST) today. The usual price is $18-$20 so you’re getting a significant discount. Threadless has some of the best tee designs in the biz, some which we’ve featured right here on Gearfuse, so this is an offer you probably shouldn’t refuse. Go, go, go!

If you’ve been holding out for a price cut on the PS3, today is your chance to take advantage of Amazon’s PS3 deal. $350 nets you an 80GB system with a DualShock controller. Sorry, no motion control here, folks.

Games? You’ll need to get those on your own, but considering the deals Amazon has on its Marketplace, it shouldn’t be too hard to pick up a couple of classic titles on the cheap.

Head over to Woot.com, right now. Why? Woot off. Lots of goods. Dirt cheap. Make it happen.

Want the benefits of an unlocked iPhone without having to potentially brick the device using illegal software circumvention? Join the crowd.

Lucky for you iPhone enthusiasts, Buy.com is now offering a 16GB iPhone 3G that is completely backed by Apple and isn’t locked to a specific carrier. How did Buy.com get this deal to happen? What about AT&T? These are things we’ll never know the answer to, because anyone dropping $800 on a damn iPhone is out of their mind.

But yeah. I won’t judge. Here’s the link.

March 8th.

That’s Sunday.

So that means you officially have about 48 hours to make your way to the nearest Circuit City in an attempt to score huge deals. I mean huge deals, too, ’cause come Sunday night, Circuit City will be closing its doors for good. With 567 stores around the country, liquidating the $1.7 billion in merchandise would prove to be a difficult task. Not so! People have been scooping up crappy, overpriced electronics faster than you can say “Vista.”

Remember: March 8th. After that, you’re stuck with Best Buy or Walmart.

If you’re looking to do some shopping with what little money is left in your checking account, head on over to Woot.com. They’re having another Woot-off and as of now, you can score a top-notch Roomba for $140. The deals will continue all day, so make sure you keep checking in.

Technologizer’s Harry McCracken was brave enough to stop by his local Circuit City in California to see what all the fuss was about regarding the company’s liquidation process. Inside, he found mediocre deals on mediocre equipment. No surprise there. Harry speculated that as the shelves become more bare, the discounts will increase. We agree.

Still, I think it’s worth checking out a Circuit City if you live near one. Chances are the manager will be more than happy to bargain with you if you’re picking up enough goodies. After the jump, photos showcasing the death of an electronics retailer.

If you haven’t heard of Peek, it’s a small, thin device with a QWERTY keypad that only does email. Yup. It just emails and uses the T-Mobile network to send and retrieve messages. You pay $20 a month and you get unlimited email service. Not the best deal. However, today only, Peek is offering a $300 one-time deal where you get the device and unlimited service all in one package. Not bad if you’re seriously considering Peek, but still, with such limited functionality, it’s hard to understand if there’s really a market for it.

Again, the $300 unlimited package is today only. Get on it.

We’ve been covering the constant rumor mill known as the Walmart iPhone 3G. At one point, people were speculating that Walmart would offer a 4GB iPhone 3G at $99. Ha! Those rumors came and went and are now nothing but a memory. Walmart has released an advertisement that shows the 8GB iPhone 3G at $197. That’s a whopping $2 in savings, folks. Stunning.
