In 2009, Black Friday falls on November 27 and many stores will run ads prior to that day with special discount prices on selected merchandise as a way to lure shoppers into their doors. Most stores will open their doors early on Black Friday, usually around 5 a.m., and the special prices will be good for a limited number of hours. Some cut the sales off at 11 a.m., but that still gives shoppers six hours to make their purchases.

Targets Aspire one for $199 is bull. Tried every store (per their list) within 75 miles of my home (approx 8 stores). They all claim they are sold out and don't know when or if they will receive more. Some business operation. Don't even know what they are receiving around the biggest holiday of the season. go figure.
