PriceGrabber and eBay: Zune Second-Most Bought Black Friday Product

The little portable media player that could: According to PriceGrabber, Shopping.com and eBay, the fattie Zunes (30 and 80) were the second-most bought product online during Black Friday, right behind the Wii. The snag in the numbers is that it doesn't include individual retailers like Amazon or Cyber Monday sales, but the chocolate Zune 30 does remain tops in Amazon's portables section, so it might just pull through in the final count.

The Black Friday Shopping Tsunami is Over; How'd You Fare?

Not to be a jerk, but waking up at 2 a.m. to stand in the cold for a few hours waiting to save $100 on a laptop doesn't seem like a sign of intelligence to me, or at least not a sign of being able to prioritize things properly. My cynical, judgmental view of Black Friday was only solidified when I saw this quote in the New York Times today:
Donna Lhopitault, 38, stood in line at the Toys R Us in Times Square for four hours this morning to secure a deeply discounted Nintendo Wii video game system for $250 — more than half the price she has seen it online.
I mean, if you're going to ruin your own Thanksgiving to buy a product, at least check to make sure it's even on sale. Good lord. Did any of you go hit the sales this morning? Any horror/success stories to share? [NY Times]

Reminder: Apple Store Black Friday Details Lift in a Few Hours

Lest ye forget: While everyone else is having Black Friday door-buster, blowout sales, Apple will be having its more elegant-sounding one-day "shopping event." We're a little nervous because there's no mention of any deals on Apple products. You'll have to click onto the Apple Store site—on Friday only—to see what's up. But there is one guarantee: you will get free shipping. We're pretty sure Apple gives free shipping on a lot of purchases anyhow, but we won't look a gift-horse in the mouth. [Apple]

GrinchModo: 99% of All Gadgets Unneeded, Spend Wisely This Friday

Just a reminder to keep a cool head this Black Friday and only go for the stuff you or loved ones really need. Likely, the average Giz reader doesn't need 99% of the hardware written about on Gizmodo, as most of it is crap that does a marginally better job of whatever gadgets you already own. We're not here to get you to buy stuff, although the promotion of gear is a by-product of what we do. The best way to use Gizmodo is to educate yourself, as you enjoy the photos and videos and words, digest the gadgets via blog in the part of the brain that processes shiny new things, and poop it out to an area of your brain far away from the part that triggers impulse purchases. As a smart person, it is critical that you be able to distinguish between what gadgets are coming out, and what your personal buying patterns are. I know, it's hard, but it'll probably make us happier people in the end. Shut up, I do not sound like your shrink.

God bless the Black Friday, as the format war keeps raging on thanks to it: Amazon will give you 10 movies for free when you buy the $199 Toshiba HD-A3 HD DVD player (or the HD-A30 or the HD-A35.)

Best Buy Black Friday Bonus Doorbusters: Toshiba Laptop for $229

Top of the list of these Bonus Doorbuster deals is a notebook, a Toshiba A135-7404 for $229 that will also include a Canon all-in-one printer.
