People are getting out sleeping bags, pitching tents and doing special exercises. Yes, it’s time for another Black Friday. Are you planning to venture out into the cold and the crowds in search of a good bargain? You certainly won’t be alone.

According to a recent article on NerdWallet, this year’s Black Friday deals are the same as last year’s Black Friday deals—carbon copies, to be exact. Apparently, several retailers are trying to sell the same items as last year for last year’s prices.

Bottom line: Black Friday can be super confusing. When it comes to electronics, you don’t want to get scammed. So we scoured the web in search of some of this year’s (not last year’s!) best deals. Also, despite what you may be hearing and/or reading, there are tons of excellent deals to be had.

We combed through some of the circulars and other pre-Black Friday announcements to see which stores would be offering the best discounts. Here are 15 of the Best Deals on Electronics for Black Friday 2012. Happy hunting!
