Black Friday is the most popular shopping day of the year: Last year, 197 million shoppers took advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend sales.

Since we're seasoned at deals and covering Black Friday/Cyber Monday, we've created a deal tracker of ZDNET readers' favorite products to help you see up-front what is a good deal and what others you might want to hold off on buying this weekend.
