Thanks! You guys are still the greatest!

Nice.

Great!!

I'll be hooked to my computer!

so it seems so far the best xbox deal is that one online posted yesterday???? the $254 bundle

Just a tip for you all, Wal-Mart price matches Black Friday ads (in most areas)... and they generally start their BF sales an hour before the others. So if you take your other ads into Wal-Mart, you could be done before the other stores even open (and avoid the outdoor lines, because most Wal-Marts open 24 hours let you wait inside).

I can't wait to see their ad this year, though...maybe it'll be better than the other big box electronics ads.

Wal-Mart is doing some pre-BF deals, but those prices aren't correct ($24 for a BD player, come on! I'd even switch for that!).

Maybe you guys should just wait for all the items to be added and edited...

Where are you seeing this ?

It's been taken off now. It was just a typo (I assume).

Wow, I expected their 32" to at least as low as $350. Doesn't someone else have a 350 32"?

Wow..Walmart is not playing around this year....too many deals to count.

are these deals also available online or only in-store?

Maybe it is just me but I just don't see what everyone else is seeing?!?!?! I look for bargains (cheapest) and right now by far number 1 is Best Buy! They have the cheapest desktop, cheapest digital camera, and the second cheapest laptop. Dell has the cheapest one even though it is a netbook. I definitely will not be going to Walmart.

are these deals also available online or only in-store?

yeah thats what i wamt to know if these walmart prices are good online also

Any word yet on if these deals will be available online at Walmart on Black Friday?

Normally these prices are good in store only :(

Darn I guess I cant shop by keyboard lol.Have to try and get an xbox 360 seems like a decent deal.

46 inch samsung is the exact same price at 3 other stores (Circuit City, Sears, Best Buy)

Is is just me or are the black friday ads suckish this year? What happened to all those fab deals we were supposed to see?

So far I haven't found a reason to get up early on Friday. What a dissappointment this year.

Not sure how true this is... but I have a source telling me that Walmart will have this ad, another ad in the Thanksgiving Day paper and then a 5am ad on Black Friday :)

Sounds like Walmart is going to be one hoppin place!

I'm with you. Even these Walmart TV "deals" can be had right now on Amazon for not much more. And the sad part is that these "deals" are the best of the BF lot. The only decent sale is the DS3 at Radio Shack IMO.

I was very disappointed by Walmart's ads. I was hoping to find good deals on things like a digital picture frames, laptops, etc. but other places have them cheaper this year... tsk tsk. Anyone know if they're plan on releasing more ads? You know... save the best for last (minute)? :)

Okay the electronics aren't that exciting to me since I was able to get the 46 inch 1080P Sanyo a couple of weeks ago for 798 and the laptop for my brother for 299 (thanks bfads!)

BUT $8 for a pair of jeans is unreal... I'm so going to go get me at lease six pairs of those jeans. I wear jeans every day now that I get to work from home, and that is just too good to pass up. I might get that $90 LCD tv stand too.

I think most of Walmart stuff are priced right, for today uncertain and troubled economy, versus some of the other retailers. These low-priced jeans, jackets, etc. does really help keep families warm, especially for any ones of millions of families who are dealing with our unemployment, foreclosure, etc.

There are some decent deals and I am hoping to grab a few things for my daughter but I guess I am hoping there are more deals yet to come before the holidays are here... nothing makes me want to go stand in line at 3 in the morning like I have done before...

"Both were provided to us directly from Walmart, who is allowing us to release these ads exclusively to our visitors 3-days before the general public will see them."

I got Walmart's black Friday ad in the mail yesterday......So did everyone else I know. I just assumed that they released it to everyone yesterday.

Good stuff! About the surprise that Walmart doesn't have a $300 computer door buster deal like others, I noticed in Dell's ad that there's a $299 slim desk top ... looks very cool. AND I can stay in my PJ's to buy it!!

I'm really liking this Walmart ad. Good stuff for sure.

ok so i was looking into the xbox 360... it's the lowest xbox 360 with the least amount of options. biggest killer was no hard drive, which you need to download games, video and music if you want to use it to it's full capacity. It uses a 256MB memory unit instead! boo

also, you can buy a hard drive for it, but it'll have to be "locked" or something. Not very familiar with xbox's and trying to do this research on the fly.

can anyone else comment on this deal?

thanks!

They've got a $30 8" dig pic frame...who has one cheaper?

exclusively, make me laugh. It's been on slickdeals for 2 days. Did they just decide that since everyone thought it was the best BF deals they'd seen this year that they'd go ahead & release it?

I would have liked to have seen their faces if bfads had said, NO THANKS, we'll wait til Monday!

Sorry, spitefulness has always been a weakness. *sneer*

So let me get this right....the deal for the XBOX 360 with guitar hero for $199 is NOT a good deal? I have a teen age son who is interested in the 360 but "uninformed Mom" here is clueless as to which one is the best one to buy. Can any of you who are commenting here give me a clue? thank!

Everyone needs to be careful where you buy this year some stores are closing after Christmas so becareful about warranties.

This is a great site but could somebody tell me where the Best Laptop deal is ?

So much information on here,,,I'm overwhelmed but love the site..thanks

The xbox 360 is $200 originally, and the guitar hero game with the controller is $80. So if you bought them seperately, it would be $280. If you got them here, you would just save $80.

Here is the thing though. The $200 xbox 360 doesn't have a hard drive. Hard drives are used to store game demos and extra songs (from guitar hero) downloaded from the internet. Chances are, your typical xbox 360 user is going to need a hard drive. But some people can and do live without it. It really depends on the person.

You could always get a separate hard drive somewhere if it was needed down the line, but i personally wouldn't choose that route. It might get complicated. I guess that's all I can help with. Don't let me be the only opinion to sway you.

And how do we find which stores these are that are closing?

So I have never been to Walmart before on Black Friday. Can anyone tell me if they do anything special with the items, like give tickets? And is everything placed in their respected departments, or just skewed everywhere like Target? I would go to a 24 hour super Walmart so I know you can wait inside, but are there different sections to the store you need to wait for what you want? Also, do toys sell out pretty quickly or can I come in a little later to get what I want?

walmart USUALLY sets everything up on pallets in the aisles and passes out maps as you walk in the door.

I was lucky enough to get the $298 compaq laptop a few weeks ago. It looks to be one of the best deals I've seen so far this season. I expected with the economy that there would be a whole lot better Black friday specials.

What ad had a $300 doorbuster on a computer??? The one on dell is 299 but it also has an 8.9" screen and hardly no. Wal-Mart has a really good ad compared to all retailers thus far.

I work at a walmart and we set everything up on pallets or the center displays. There should be maps with most of the items handed out as you come in and everything is typically in the correct department or near the correct department. The only break of this rule is that there is sometimes items at the entrance to the store. I think that the reason we don't have some of the 'huge' deals everyone was hoping for was that with the economy the stores really need the income from those big ticket items. If you sell the big ticket item for a bunch less you are losing that income. Thats my thoughts on it at least. Also we have a new CEO or something like that and they are making walmart a lot less family oriented that it used to be. The walmart I work at is not a 24 hour store and this is the first year we will be open on thanksgiving itself.

I was looking at buying(or shooting for) that Toshiba laptop, but I googled it....the MSRP on that thing is $596!!! so $548 is NOT that gooda deal...

Question, if Walmart let you wait inside, that mean that you can grab the items you want to buy and wait until is time or they have a designated area to wait or at least you can look around and find the items you want. Any idea. I want something from Walmart but I have never being there on BF. Thanks.

When is the best time to go to Walmart for the BF sales?

Question re: Guitar Hero Dual Pack for Wii with Guitar Hero Aerosmith and Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock for $50. Does this come with the actual guitar, or is this an "ad on" game for those who already have the guitar? (Clueless Mom here.)

Yes, you can wait inside. No, you can't grab the items you want ahead of time - not most of them, anyway. (Possibly soft lines.) Toys, electronics, small appliances, etc., will be on pallets wrapped with shrinkwrap. What you do is get there early enough to figure out where all your items are - then you have to make the choice as to what's most important to you, and stake out a spot next to that pallet. At 5am, the shrink wrap is torn off the pallets and the feeding frenzy begins. If at all possible, shop in pairs so you can cover different areas of the store. But if you don't have anyone among your family or friends who is as bargain-crazy as you are, WalMart Black Friday shoppers are a helpful, friendly bunch (in my experience). There's almost always someone nearby you who wants the same items that you do. So you work out a deal to grab 2 of X and they'll head down the aisle and grab 2 of Y and then you swap.

Last year I drove by a Walmart at 9:00pm on Thanksgiving and there was already a line of about 75 people, that was in Richmond, VA. Not everyone needs to go that early, it depends on what you are looking to get. The more popular the product, the earlier you need to be there.

I live in the French Quarter, but the nearest Walmart is about ten miles away. So, I got to Walmart at about 2:30am and I was number 11 in line. It really depends where you live. Two years ago, I went to JCPenny for their 4am doorbuster sale, and there were tons of people there. I would suggest just staying up after Thanksgiving or around 10pm on Thanksgiving driving by your Walmart and looking at the turnout. Hope this helps.

It really depends on your town. I live in a very small town and there are few items that 'sell out' before 10am. If we really want something, getting to the store about 6am has worked for us every time... and no I won't tell you what town that is :)...

Thanks for all the great heads up as what to expect come Black Friday! Another question: Is grabbing a cart out of the question? I've convinced my husband to go to Walmart this year to get a bunch of toys and other little things, but I'm wondering how he's going to carry it all around since it will only be him and a friend.

These are avail on-line. If you look at the ad and click on a larger image..it says "not avail til Friday" I wonder how early you can start ordering though???? I have e-mailed WalMart...I will see if they respond. I know someone who told me you can do that.

Actually having a cart is the best idea - but beware, if you leave that cart even for a minute, it might be gone and/or whatever you had in it. I've had things taken out of my cart in front of my nose. It truely is best to go in a bunch - such as one friend in electronics, one in toys, one in another dept and grab as many as you need. Also - on occasion, there has been a limit set by Wal-Mart. It is a lot of fun, but a lot of work and stress.

I was just at my local walmart and they had a sign on the door that said earlybird sale 5-11 but then it said it would open at 4 for our convienence, I'm confused on whether or not you can purchase items before 5. Does anybody have any insite on this?
And if they open at 4 should i get there earlier than that(I live in a town of 7000 with a smallish walmart)?
