[ryutaro's mama]

Black November in 5 years time.

Book it.

 

[Permanently A]

In store only?

 

[CrashSimonFaye]

Actually nevermind.

 

[Gray Matter]

This is good. You can buy all your shit now and actually have a thanksgiving dinner with your family.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

A bit confusing to me. Are they matching the prices from their own items?

Can someone who's not an idiot like me explain this please.

Matching competition.

Says it at the link.

 

[Kibbles]

Not valid in Wisconsin? Why not?

 

[ryutaro's mama]

The retail employees still get fucked outta having dinner with their families.

 

[studyguy]

What's the PS4 offer?

 

[Kyne]

What's the PS4 offer?

I assume any PS4 offer that anyone has?

 

[Gray Matter]

The retail employees still get fucked outta having dinner with their families.

The employes always do, sadly.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

I assume any PS4 offer that anyone has?

So what's the best one

 

[studyguy]

I assume any PS4 offer that anyone has?

I found a PS4 $500 with Last of Us and a bunch of other stuff bundled? Is that it?

 

[Plaguefox]

Not valid in Wisconsin? Why not?

Yeah, that caught my eye too. I wonder what's wrong with Wisconsin.

Edit: I read out there on the Internet that it's due to a law in Wisconsin that says you're not allowed to sell items below cost.

Edit2: MechDX, creepy perfect timing.

 

[mackattk]

What ps4 deal will they be matching?

 

[InfernoNR]

Black November in 5 years time.

Book it.

Amazon is pretty much already doing this now, but yeah... this.

 

[MechDX]

Yeah, that caught my eye too. I wonder what's wrong with Wisconsin.

I believe Wisconsin has a competition law where you can't not sell below cost

 

[Auron_Kale]

Wonder if I can go get my Blu-rays now instead of next week...

 

[Kyzer]

A PS4 Deal


Y u no match ur own deal

 

[RustyNails]

Whats the bestest PS4 deal?

 

[mackattk]

Whats the bestest PS4 deal?

From what I know... Wal-mart. Online at least. GTA v/ ltou bundle plus two games of your choice for $450

This sounds goody.

 

[Hexa]

40" LED HDTV
60" TVs from LG and Sony

Which ones? Prices? I MUST KNOW!

 

[PAULINK]

i feel real sorry for retail employees that gotta work around these days.

 

[statham]

Just a thought,
What If, Black Friday(Monday) sales started on the Monday before Thanksgiving and retail companies were closed on Thanksgiving. It would give retail a few more days to sell during the 'season' & would stop the anger/protests about working on Thanksgiving.?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Wonder if I can go get my Blu-rays now instead of next week...

I wish...

 

[Timedog]

Is there a PS4 controller that's really comfortable and high quality, that also has staggered thumbsticks?

 

[JdFoX187]

Wonder if I can go get my Blu-rays now instead of next week...

That's what I'm hoping for.

 

[Dartastic]

I'm hoping that I can get an iPad Air 2 with a 140 dollar gift card. I'm down for that.

 

[Toki767]

When they say "a PS4 offer" I'm guessing they can't actually sell the actual boxed GTA bundle early, so maybe they will do something like a PS4 + GTA V + The Last of Us or something as separate transactions rather than all boxed in one?

 

[Dmented]

40" LED HDTV
60" TVs from LG and Sony

Which ones? Prices? I MUST KNOW!

This, please. In the market for a TV so this could be great.

 

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Looks like the PS4 is just the system with a $50 gift card?

 

[Killthee]

Ad is up: http://www.walmart.com/store/2457/w...660&oid=183959.1&u1=&affillinktype=10&veh=aff

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

I don't understand is Wallmart going to have the Last of Us / GTA5 PS4 bundle or only going to have a PS4 with a 50 gift card. Would they price match to get a LoU+GTA5 retail copy if they don't?

This is what I'm wondering.

I guess another problem I face is not having a print ad on me.

both. bundle with both those games for 399, or a standalone with a 50 gift card. Additionally, if you pay 449 online, you get the GTA+TLOU bundle + 2 free games of your choice.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Also if wallmart price matches something do you still get the 50$ gift card or does that usually get axed with the price match?

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Well I only ask cause the bundle is not pictured in the add so it seems like they won't have it.

 

[Speevy]

That Emerson TV is awful.

 

[Amir0x]

Well I only ask cause the bundle is not pictured in the add so it seems like they won't have it.

It's pictured, just not in that part of the ad. They show what the bundle will look like under their $449 deal.

It's the universal Sony bundle this Black Friday so Wal-Mart will definitely have it.

 

[AstroNut325]

Are the deals going to be available online? I have to work tomorrow so there is no way I can go to Walmart at 8AM!

Are you sure that's not only for the actual Black Friday deals and not for "pre" black friday deals.

 

[Maddocks]

Man that ps4 offer is great, but them being open about 6 per store, might as well camp out tonight.

 

[Amir0x]

Are you sure that's not only for the actual Black Friday deals and not for "pre" black friday deals.

I mean I don't see how we can tell that given there is no additional information than "A PS4 deal" in the OP's link, but I'm just saying that Wal-Mart does have the GTAV+TLOU bundle and that those are the three PS4 deals from Wal-Mart this year.

$399 for GTAV+TLOU PS4 Bundle
$399 for Standalone PS4 + $50 gift card
$449 for GTAV+TLOU PS4 Bundle + 2 games of your choice (online only)

Edit: Nevermind, I see the new Friday ad now for November 21st. Yes, this deal does not include the GTAV+TLOU bundle, just the 50 gift card offer.

 

[Killthee]

Are the deals going to be available online? I have to work tomorrow so there is no way I can go to Walmart at 8AM!

Some stuff, like the TV deals, say in store only while the PS4 offer doesn't say that.

 

[chidrock]

So does this mean I can pick up Mordor for $25 along with any other games that are supposed to be on sale at other places? The ad says they will match prices, but it doesn't say if it has to be items that are shown in the ad.

That line at the bottom of the first page? I'm pretty sure that's included in all their ads and the only price matching they'll accept this week is deals that are live at other retailers.

It's mentioned in the middle of their other pages, but I guess that doesn't really specify that they will match prices on other products.

Gotcha. It only applies to the products shown, the press release in the OP makes it clear:

Walmart just upped the ante once again. For the second year, the retailer is lowering the prices on popular toys, electronics and more to match or beat select Black Friday offers from top national competitors one week early. Walmart’s Pre-Black Friday Event begins Friday, Nov. 21 at 8:00 a.m. and also gives customers an early taste of Walmart’s Black Friday prices by moving up items typically found on Black Friday.

Matching Competitors’ Offers
The retailer will be matching or beating select Black Friday offers from top national competitors on items such as:

I just realized that this might mean my Walmart is packed when I go to get my smash adapter after work. What nightmarish hell am I going to be walking into?
