Best Buy is hoping to lure you out of your hibernation, though, with an unexpected four-day sale. It kicked off Monday and runs through Thursday. There are a few hundred items on sale ranging from TVs and appliances to cameras and audio gear, not to mention a solid smattering of Blu-rays and DVD movies. Want to see it all? Browse the whole sale at Best Buy's four-day sale page -- but note that Amazon has matched some of these prices, too.
