The list includes headphones, speaker docks, cases, and various other accessories.

Amazon continues its week of pre-holiday savings by giving customers a jump one some bandwidth-clogging Cyber Monday deals. To be perfectly honest, some of the deals look awfully familiar (we’ve been seeing some since the site kicked off its promotion, last Monday), but some do seem too good to pass up.

As Amazon puts its, “You shouldn’t have to stand in a long line to get a great deal.” Fair enough. It’s sure to be a bit of a nightmare out there in local shopping malls, so Amazon is offering up some sweet deals online.

After the jump, we’ve rounded up some great Black Friday deals from the site on products like HDTVs, cameras, headphones, and more.

Fry’s Black Friday Deals

No other brick-and-mortar electronics store takes its Black Friday deals quite as seriously as Fry’s. The west coast electronics chain offers some downright crazy deals, the day after Thanksgiving.

Fry’s is also pretty secretive when it comes to deals, but site’s like Fry’s Ads have devoted their entire existence to the leaking of such information. After the jump, we’ve collected some of the most mind bogglingly low deals from Fry’s Ads.

A note from that site:

Unless otherwise indicated, ads are for Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), Houston (HOU), Los Angeles/Orange County (LA), San Jose (SJ), Phoenix, Renton, Chicago, Austin, Sacramento, and Las Vegas (Vegas) areas.

Great Gift: Sonos Multi-Room Music System

You’re a grown-up now. Do something more grown-up during parties than turning the volume to 11 to create whole house audio. The Sonos Multi-Room Music System can grab music off a PC or home file server and stream it, wired or wirelessly, to as many rooms as you have devices. The ease of operation and elegant interface makes you think this is an Apple spinoff; actually, the Sonos people are brilliant in their own right. Start with the S5 ($400 direct), an all-in-one device you easily carry from room to room. Add a ZonePlayer 120 ($500) if you already have speakers, or a ZonePlayer 90 ($350) to connect to an existing stereo or to amplified speakers. You can control it from your iPhone, iPad, PC or Mac, or with a Sonos controller. This is one wireless (or wired Ethernet) system where the music plays in sync in every room, all the time. Or you can have different music in each room. Or you can dock your iPod and control and play that music through the house.

Great Gift: Cellphone, iPod Booster Battery

Carry an iPod-size rechargeable external battery to double or triple your phone’s talk time or your MP3 player’s playback time. They all have a USB jack; plug your device’s cord into that and you’re up and running again. The cheapest, smallest units provide a half-charge to a cellphone or MP3 player battery and take up little space in a purse or shoulder bag until needed; the largest provide 2-3 charges of a phone or music player. Recharge them by plugging into a laptop/PC’s USB jack, or into a USB wall transformer. Prices run $15-$50. The powerpack is good for 500 charges. One of the more sophisticated is the Energizer XP2000 Universal Rechargeable Power Pack, $30 street, with its own car and wall recharging transformers, four power tips, and carry case. There are many, many other choices.
