Black Friday has morphed into a shopping rush that starts earlier in the month of November, rather than occurring only on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This year has also seen several retailers such as Best Buy announcing "early" Black Friday deals on various items, including gaming consoles such as PS4 and Xbox One, iPads, iPhones and TVs.

In addition to the early deals, PC Mag notes that Best Buy has announced other exclusive Black Friday deals. Deals being offered by Best Buy include a $100 reduction on the iPad Air 2, an exclusively deal on the Panasonic 50-inch LED TV priced at $199.99, Beats Solo headphones marked down to $79.99, providing savings of up to $90, and the GoPro Hero3+ Silver Edition camera available at $249.99.

The Black Friday deals at Best Buy will be available in 1,000 stores spread over 47 states, and will come into effect on Thanksgiving Day at 5 p.m. This will continue until the early hours of Nov. 28. Following this, Best Buy stores will close and then re-open at 8 a.m. on Black Friday. They will remain operational until 10 p.m. that day.

PC Mag notes that the "doorbuster" deals available on Thursday will be different from those on Friday.

Target also has a set of exclusive Black Friday deals which it is advertising. These include a Fitbit Charge Wristband priced at $99.99 and a $140 Target gift card free with a 16GB iPad Air 2 which retails at $499. Also, Target has an exclusive deal for the 16 GB version of the iPhone 6. It features a $20 discount combined with a $30 Target gift card. The $30 gift card will also apply to purchases of the 64 GB and 128 GB iPhone 6.

The Verge is also reporting that Target will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S5 16GB at $0.01 coupled with a two-year contract.
