Each year, November 22, or 'Black Friday', is one of the busiest shopping days on the US calender, with major retail outlets opening at midnight to maximise sales during the 24 hour shopping spree. This year, over 135 million shoppers crammed into stores to snap up steep discounts. The sales frenzy led to some pretty wild scenes, including crowd stampedes, scuffles/fistfights and even a pair of shootings. For the most part though, shoppers stuck to hunting for tech bargains.
