Cyber Monday is almost as big a deal as Black Friday, particularly as gadgets and games continue to top holiday wish lists around the world. Many stores have yet to reveal the full extent of their Cyber Monday plans, but some retailers have offered early details about their plans.

Staples has said it will be offering up to 45 percent off of cameras and desktops, including the HP Pavilion, which will drop to $299.99 from $449.99. It will also be offering the Canon PowerShot A4000 for $99.99, down from the regular retail price of $179.99.
