Actually, from the stuff I've been reading, one of the reasons Black Friday is predicted to tank this year is consumers know that MUCH BIGGER SALES will come closer to Christmas.
Retailers are DESPERATE this year, and are reportedly willing to discount deeper and deeper as the season progresses.
Black Friday sales will be better than usual.
After that, they will practically give things away.
One less shopping weekend this season + ya know, national economic meltdown = major, major sales getting more outrageous by the day thru Dec. 24.
