Friday's Big Question: What Cyber Monday Deal Are You Jumping On?

Is Anyone Else Still Full?
So you've already gained your five (or ten) pounds for the weekend, you may be a little hungover and still angry from that debate you had with your uncle about whatever it was that he insisted he was right about. But none of that matters anymore. While your mom/sister/girlfriend/wife/girl-you-ogle-at-from-a-distance was participating in the awesome-ly 'Murican spectacle that is Black Friday, you've been planning your attack for Cyber Monday.

Let's Spend Some Monies!
With deals from Staples, Newegg, Tiger Direct, B&H Photo/Video, and Amazon, to name a few, there is no shortage of web-only deals available to the technologically inclined. Most carriers are even running some rudimentary deals that may be worth while if you're contract is up or you'd like to pick up another line on the cheap.

Staples has said it will be offering up to 45 percent off of cameras and desktops, including the HP Pavilion, which will drop to $299.99 from $449.99. It will also be offering the Canon PowerShot A4000 for $99.99, down from the regular retail price of $179.99.

Meanwhile, Roku will continue its Black Friday deals on the Roku 2 player, offering a $20 discount. It will also be offering $20 off the regular prices of the Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS and Roku HD.

For the truly techy, Newegg — a popular site for computer components and other tech items — has yet to release the full details of its Cyber Monday deals yet but has been offering “Black November” deals all month. The site is offering daily deals on everything from laptops and keyboards to video cards and hard drives. Tiger Direct, another popular site for tech purchases, is also stretching its definition of Cyber Monday to include every Monday of the holiday season.
