"Five a.m. openings are unprecedented for the day after Thanksgiving," said Roger Lanctot, director of advertising analysis for Beyen. "but sales made during the Thanksgiving weekend frequently determine whether retailers will make their sales and profit targets for the year. These guys are pulling out the stops."

Inexpensive DVD players and videogames lead the way in Friday offers. Wal-Mart has a "one-time offer" of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, which regularly retails for $69.99, at $49.68. KBtoys has the same product available at $44.99 for shoppers who spend $100 on other toys. Circuit City and Wal-Mart are both offering sub-$50 DVD players.
