Black Friday - the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in the US – saw a real trend towards electronic products and gadgets.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), nearly half of people in the US went shopping over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Of those, 58 per cent bought some type of electronic item.
The most popular were portable MP3 players, video games consoles, netbooks and iPads.
Shawn DuBravac, CEA's chief economist and director of research, noted: "Consumers continue to seek discounts and they certainly found them this weekend with the bulk of shoppers saying the deals they found were good to excellent."
