This is definitely a question we get asked often throughout the entire year. No one wants to pay closer to regular price and everyone wants the best deal possible, now more than ever. The great folks at Lifehacker complied an infographic based on several sources to help break down what month/quarter to purchase specific consumer electronics along with everyday products as well. The full breakdown lies within.
Q1:
January/February
Digital Cameras
With older cameras becoming obsolete with the newer models announced at CES in January you can catch some great deals.
HDTVs/Home Theaters
These are mostly still on sale from the holidays and last all the way until the Super Bowl.
Video Games
With the popular gaming titles that launched in the Fall, they usually go on sale after the holiday season.
Q2:
April/June/May
TVs and other electronics
The Japanese fiscal year ends in March so expect sales to get rid of their old inventory.
April
Laptops
These are just strangely on sale for no reason what so ever.
Q3:
July/Sept/Aug
Computers
One of the main things on sale for the Back To School deals.
MP3 Players
Typical timing for the good deals on MP3/PMP players.
Q4:
November/December
TVs & various electronics
These are always sale targets for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals which span through the Super Bowl for the most part.
Hopefully you guys use this to take advantage of some great savings on all of your consumer electronic needs.
