Tomorrow (or late tonight) JCPenney has said they'll be releasing their Black Friday ad along with a one-day-only early access sale. Kohl's will also be releasing their Black Friday ad on Thursday night and having an early access sale with a $15 Kohl's Cash offer on Friday.

The announcement makes perfect sense as it will allow Amazon to promote their Black Friday sale to a wide audience during the game, although from past experience, most of the best deals happen well before Black Friday afternoon. |
