Amazon Lightning Sales Offer Up Cameras, Netbooks


By Chloe Albanesius / PC Magazine: Yahoo! Tech

"For those not up for braving the Black Friday crowds, Amazon.com is still running its week-long lightning sales on various tech gadgets – from netbooks and laptops to cameras and HDTV's.

These limited-time sales last only several hours – or until they sell out. Amazon reveals the Black Friday price minutes before the device goes on sale, and then runs a count-down clock and a tally on the percentage of its inventory that has been sold.

A Pentax Optio W80 waterproof digital camera, for example, is selling for $242.61, a savings of about $43, and has about an hour left on the clock.

Later today, Amazon will unveil pricing on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 10.1-inch netbook, which normally retails for $399.99.

For those who don't want to watch the clock, Amazon's deal of the day is a 4.3-inch Garmin nĂ¼vi GPS navigation device for $129.99, nearly $50 off the retailer's regular price. The 285W/285WT devices have a wide screen, Bluetooth capability, turn-by-turn directions that call out street names, and the ability to deliver real-time traffic, weather, and gas price updates.

A PlayStation 3 with 120GB, bundled with Infamous and Killzone 2, is selling for $299.99, also a $50 savings.

Other deals include a Sony 1080p Blu-ray player for $129, a Panasonic Viera 50-inch plasma HDTV for $685.96, and a Dell Inspiron Mini IM10 netbook with integrated TV tuner for $299.99."
