We are still a few hours from starting Black Friday, the name used in the United States for the day after Thanks Giving, but the offers have already started on many online stores.

Erik asked me what other sites, besides my all time preferred Amazon, are worth checking so I decided to make a short list, incomplete of course, of the sites I'm checking this weekend:

• Best Buy
• Newegg
• Circuit City
• COMPUSA
• Dell
• Apple Store

There are many notebooks below US$ 500 that make me doubt if I should get an Eee PC, a new System76 or a Macbook.

Yay!, it's hard to be a geek, specially when you don't get that PS3 offer on the first day of Amazon Vote.

Good luck shopping!
