Best Buy's Best 2013 Black Friday Tech Deals

The country's largest electronics retailer is gearing up three waves of sales on Black Friday.

Designed to keep customers coming back to Best Buy BBY, the company's first Black Friday sale begins at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 28.

For those who plan to camp out, the retailer said that it will hand out tickets up to two hours before the store opens.

While no other details were provided, it's safe to assume that the ticket will guarantee a shopper's place in line.

6:00 p.m. Thursday

Apple has charged $399 for the iPad 2 for more than 18 months. On Black Friday, Best Buy will kick off its sale by dropping the price to $299.

The retailer will sell a 65-inch Samsung HDTV for $999 and a 55-inch set from LG for $499. Those deals may sound promising, but buyers should take note of the "only @ Best Buy" promo. This could mean that the TVs are cheap models that were made specifically for Black Friday and may not provide the quality or reliability that consumers expect.

However, consumers can rely on the quality of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which will be on sale for $1,099. That's $200 cheaper than the MSRP.
