But here's the problem for shoppers: Those who want to snatch up the Black Friday door busters -- super low prices on a limited number of electronics and other items -- will have to be among the first on line, which means arriving at the store on Thanksgiving morning or at the latest in the afternoon, says Jon Vincent, founder of BlackFriday.info, which tracks Black Friday deals.
