Retailers Vie For Electronics Holiday Rush

It is supposed to be the season of thanks, peace, and celebration, but consumer electronics retailers are bracing for an all-out war for consumer dollars this holiday season. Besides the familiar consumer electronics stores such as Best Buy and Circuit City (and their online subsidiaries), new competitors have aggressively entered the consumer electronics market, such as Dell, Gateway, and even Wal-Mart. Combine this with competition from internet-only shopping sites (such as Amazon.com), and cable TV's QVC and The Home Shopping Channel, expect some very good pricing and product offerings to lure the consumer.
