Derek-BBY states: "We are not announcing an official start time for the event, but you can expect deals to start going live sometime after 12:00 AM central time tonight."  (Other quotes inside spoiler)

"As during past Early Access events, an exact start time is not likely to be announced.  That is done in-order to prevent a stampede of members to BestBuy.com at the exact same time."

"I expect an email regarding the Black Friday Early Access event to be sent out sometime later today.  As I have mentioned, we cannot guarantee the delivery of any emails and an email is not needed to participate in the event.  I intend to login to the forum this evening and post any screenshots I can of the the email.  We are not announcing an official start time for the event, but you can expect deals to start going live sometime after 12:00 AM central time tonight.  There will be deals that go live at different times throughout the morning."

The early access sale will most likely include almost everything in the Black Friday ad.  Major doorbuster deals are generally excluded from the early access sale (official quote inside spoiler).

"As I have mentioned previously, you are unlikely to see any of the major doorbuster deals available during the Early Access event on Monday.  Those deals are usually displayed on the first couple pages of the Black Friday ad.  Otherwise, most of the Black Friday deals should be available."

My two cents on my own speculation:

Spoiler

If I recall correctly, last year the deals didn't go live until morning sometime around 5 AM CST.  But I wouldn't really expect that exact same start time this year.  Nonetheless, if you plan on checking the Best Buy website at midnight CST (the earliest possible start time), know that you could end up waiting any number of hours before you see the deals go live.

 

Most (if not all) video game deals will probably be available in the early access sale I'm betting.  

But don't expect the 49" Toshiba TV for $149 on the front page to be a part of the early access sale (in-store only - not going to happen).
