Large retailers are getting ready early for Black Friday.

The battle between major U.S. retailers is starting to sizzle as the countdown for Black Friday deals begin to heat up.

With weeks before Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, major retail stores like Target, Homed Depot and Walmart had already revealed their ads for this year’s discounted deals. As expected, most of the items that will be given huge discounts include television sets, Apple gadgets like iPads, and headphones.

Target announced that they will be selling 60-inch Samsing Smart LED HDTVs for only $797.99, which is $302 less than the original price. The Xbox One ‘Assassin’s Creed Unity’ Pack will be sold for just $329.99 with a $50 gift card, while the Nikon L330 cameras only have a $99 price tag. Target’s deal for Beats by Dre headphones is set at only $97.

Walmart’s Black Friday deals are just as grand, with a jaw-dropping $648 price tag for a 65-inch Vizio Smart LED HDTV, while several 50-inch LED HDTV units sell for as low as $218. The iPad Mini 16 GB with WiFi will be sold for just $199 plus a $30 gift card.

The Home Depot has a promotion where consumers can ‘Like’ them on Facebook, and receive special savings on their Facebook stream. Consumers will also receive special promotions, how-to tips, discussion and alerts about Black Friday online shopping.

The annual Black Friday shopping event this year will begin especially early with retail giants deciding to open their doors in time for Thanksgiving dinner.
