  • Black Friday Fight List (Buyer’s Guide)

    Head Trauma Free Of Charge.

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Of course, that technically starts on Saturday because Friday will be about cold early morning lines, running over the weak and seeing how that old lady with the Wii U can handle a punch.

    That’s right it’s Black Friday, which over the past few years, has begun to take over Thanksgiving as well to where most people have just enough time to finish their family time of thanks and goodwill then head out for battle. We here at Nerd Rating are here to help you on your journey into the deepest, darkest of holiday humanity with a buyer’s guide that will show you the best of the deals that most retailers are offering for TV’s, tablets, video games and more.

    Be sure and hit the links to compare to Amazon.com because the online retailer is matching or even beating a lot of the advertised prices out there.
