Let us know if you find a better deal than what's above and we'll post it.

Last year I actually went into a Circuit City on Black Friday. I still wake up in a cold sweat every once in a while, so obviously you won't see me pawing through the DVD stacks the day after Thanksgiving. Or doing anything that involves the words "retail," "lines" or "doorbusters." But that's not to say you can't have a ball struggling against a ceaseless mass of bargain-hungry human flesh if you want to. As a matter of fact, I'll even help out: Here's what you'll find at the big stores, movie-wise, come post-Turkey Day. And if you can get in, snag some good flicks and get out with no hassle -- then you've earned your goodies.

At Circuit City you can get any of the following for $2.99 apiece: The Cat in the Hat, Charlie's Angels, Dance with Me, Godzilla, Hulk, Intolerable Cruelty, Natural Born Killers, Red Dragon, Spy Game, The Sweetest Thing, Total Recall and Wimbledon. For $8.99 each you can also pick from Chicken Little, Click, Grey's Anatomy S1, The Little Mermaid, Monster House, The Office S1, The Polar Express and X-Men 3. CC is also offering a pretty solid sale that lasts over the weekend, one that includes several 2 for $8 titles, several excellent $5.99 choices and a whole bunch of multi-disc sets that are a lot cheaper than usual.

OK, so by this time you've already spent about 3.2 hours struggling to grapple some DVDs at Circuit City, which means it's probably about 8:10am and you can now head on over to Best Buy, which is where you'll find...
