6 to 7 and compete with concurrent festivities at Target and Walmart .

Prime Big Deal Days will be an opportunity to get a head start on your Black Friday wishlist — and to get some relief from the RAMageddon price hikes impacting the tech industry this year.

Its upcoming seasonal deals should cancel out some of those markups.
