Once your post-turkey tryptophan coma wears off, you may be among the legions braving the mall mobs to take advantage of the traditional Black Friday retail extravaganza. If so, you better get up well before dawn and have a game plan, because these people don't mess around. They come loaded with lists, sleeping bags, energy bars and switchblades to make sure they're the ones getting the deals, not you. Why the switchblade, you ask? Well, if you've got that last $70 GPS system from Pep Boys in your greedy little hands and you feel a hot stabbing sensation in your lower back while you're in line, it might be good to have 911 on speed dial.
We've scoured the ads leaked to Black Friday Web sites to put together a guide to some of the best deals out there on the day-after-Thanksgiving. If you're a geek, a gamer or a couch potato, this guide is for you.
Top Black Friday Deals:
Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar Bundle for Wii, $69.99 - Target

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, $24.99 - Best Buy
Play 25 tracks from Aerosmith’s nearly four-decade career, as well as other songs from artists such as Run DMC, Lenny Kravitz and more. If you need to pick up some guitar controllers as well, Target has a bundle with dueling guitars for $100.
