I know its to late now, but I read an article showing that amazon actually marked up several of their black friday items they claimed were "on sale". 10+ items they were to have on sale were actually cheaper when searched on the site thursday.

I know some of the deal looked like they were doing that but they weren't, but there might have been some that they were. For example, the deals were timed, so you could see a deal coming. So before the deal started, it showed their current price, say $10. Once the deal started, they showed the MSRP of say $15 and the sale price of $5, showing a discount of $10, which was not really true. But some great deals to be had. I wish I'd have been quick enough to get the Beatles box set for $99. But, I got the Xbox for $99 earlier this month, so no complaints.
