Generally speaking (aka, Not 100% of the time), Black Friday deals are new products that haven't seen the light of day on a shelf before Black Friday. So brand new UPC codes, packaging changes, or in some instances, a brand new product. This prevents this kind of "solution" from being utilized. Not only do retailers win big on BF, but the manufacturer's do as well.

That is true for the no name products and the computers... But, the thing is, a lot of the brand name stuff will get deep discounted as well... This worked in my favor last year because i bought $9.99 xbox 360 games, a bunch of DVDs i knew would be gone, some mp3 players for stocking stuffers... and i was tempted on buying a Toshiba plasma TV that was $800 off... I skipped that idea, but i still had the option because it was an existing product... You just need to keep your eyes open and check the store to see if they have it in stock... You may get lucky and an associate sells it to you early...
