    Nice sales except the Xbox 360 Arcade, which is worth $0. Arcades break more often than any other console ever constructed, there cheap and poorly made thus there low price including low storage. Save up your money and either get the better Xbox, or a ps3, for the extra money you'll be saving yourself loads of time and sadness over when it breaks, or when you run out of space. On a side note, with your $99 xbox (if u get it) don't forget to get an xbox live subscription or you won't be able to get online ($60) plus the network adaptor($100) maybe a new game ($60) hmm or just get a ps3 for 299 and save money for a better deal.

    Wow, thats a pretty nice deal.
    Unfortunately i live in germany, but thats not too bad, because the PS3 will be for sale for 239€ tomorrow. The same price as a Wii lol...

    Nice deal on the xbox. I've been holding out for the $300 laptops to show up and it looks like their coming. Specs don't look to bad either.

    Some of those prices look pretty good, but I hate these "limited quantity" type sales. Hopefully no one gets trampled to death like last year's black friday at a Walmart.

    I wouldn't shop at walmart if they were the last store on Earth and everything was a penny.

    Ya... no. You would.

    Wow, it's too bad I'm not in the market for any of those items! I don't need any computers, don't need a new TV or Xbox as my roommate has a 42" LCD, and an Xbox 360 pro. I guess there's always next year...

    I wish Walmart was in my country too. Today i'm getting my first salary (my first job - yahooo!) and i could have bought some nice stuff from them.

    I can see more people getting an xbox for christmas. Might even get one for my parents be more fun when i go visit them :)
  9. I know what you mean! Here in Wellington i have a choice of either **** Smith Electronics or Noel Leeming. Both of which rip you off beyond belief. Walmart petition anyone?

    Wow, those are some insane deals. I hope this is a just a taste of things to come this holiday season.

    Yeah some of these deals are pretty darn good. I'd love to get the 42" 1080p TV. I think they normally go for 700 or 800 so thats quite a deal. I've been wanting a new tv..but i don't really have the money to throw at a tv..that deal makes it tempting though.

    I am jealous of you guys every year when I see black Friday sales being announced. Wish we had that over here too.

    The HP laptop with the Celeron 900 processor should be fine for someone who only uses Word, Excel, etc. and surfs the web. I have a low end processor in my laptop and I love it nonetheless.

    I realize I would...
    I was just emphasizing how much I avoid shopping there. I live near one and I shop anywhere but. I can find cheaper prices anywhere else and I am happy to do so.
  14. jazboy Newcomer, in training Posts: 112

    That is pretty good deal. I am not sure whether i will get the same deal on thanks giving or not. I will rush to walmart early morning to get this. :)

    Too bad I live in Romania. It would be nice to have an XBOX, but the Premium or Elite version. I think that at this moment the XBOX is better than the PS3.
  16. gruesomeA Newcomer, in training Posts: 22

    Wow thats a great deal, I may pick one of these up
  17. check the fine print! it is an online only gift card! good luck using that around the holidays for anything good! they are sold out all the time!
  18. I don't understand why y'all are hating on Walmart. I guess you *****s would rather pay more for the exact same item at another store. That's ridiculous... smh... some people's children.
  19. The gift card is online only. The E-Card. No groceries!

    Just remember the gift cards can be used at Sams Clubs as well. I personally don't shop at Walmart, but I do lots of shopping at Sams.
