TigerDirect and CompUSA both hit me with a email this morning saying the same thing. Typical of both sites, however, today's "special sale pices" seem remarkably similar to the "special sales prices" they always email me so urgently about.. every single day.

Of course, that's not really all that surprising, since Systemax, Inc. runs both websites (and Circuit City as well).

Which makes it weirder still, since Sears now owns KMart.

K-Mart actually bought Sears, though the merged corporate parent is called 'Sears Holdings Corp' for some reason (probably brand reputation)

Wal-Mart has made changes for Black Friday after last year's trampling death of a temporary worker. It will be open on Thanksgiving morning from 6 am and stay open until Friday evening. It's better than being trampled to death, but I feel bad for the Wal-Mart workers who have to spend Thanksgiving day at work. There is a thread in PRS about the original incident, but it should probably stay dead.

From the NY Times: Calming the Black Friday Crowds

...
The most significant change at Wal-Mart is that the majority of its discount stores (as opposed to its Supercenters) will open Thanksgiving morning at 6 a.m. and stay open through Friday evening. Last year, those stores closed Thanksgiving evening and reopened early Friday morning. By keeping the stores open for 24 hours, Wal-Mart is hoping for a steady flow of shoppers instead of mammoth crowds swelling outside its stores in the wee hours of Friday.

In another new twist this year, shoppers at Wal-Mart will not have to sprint toward a pile of flat-screen televisions and scuffle with one another to get one. Rather, customers will be able to enter the store at any time and line up at merchandise displays for the must-have items on their lists. When the products go on sale Friday at 5 a.m., workers will supervise the lines, giving shoppers the merchandise in the order in which they joined the line — until the goods are out of stock.

(Only a small percentage of stores will not be open 24 hours; most Wal-Mart Supercenters are already open 24 hours.)
Another problem in the past was the bottleneck at store entrances. Like many big-box retailers, Wal-Mart does not have multiple entrances and exits to spread around customer traffic. So this year the chain will put workers in front of its stores to direct customers and keep them moving.
