Under DS
GamerDeals.net has posted what it claims are Wal-Mart’s Black Friday deals and, if accurate, there are some serious savings to be had. Probably the most prominent deal would be the doorbuster on Rock Band 2 Special Edition for PS3 or 360, which will net you the full band kit and the game for a paltry $50. Another impressive deal, shoppers can pick up a PS3, Infamous, “Batman” (Arkham Asylum, we’re assuming) and a copy of The Dark Knight for $299. In comparison, the Xbox 360 gets the lukest of lukewarm bundles ever, an Xbox 360 Arcade unit complete with the Madagascar 2 game and both Madagascar movies on DVD.
Other deals include select console titles for between $7 and $25, select PC games for $25 and a $98 doorbuster on DS Lites (time to clear that stock, amirite?). Head over to GamerDeals for the full rundown. We were unable to confirm the deals with Wal-Mart, though we were told that the official Black Friday announcement will arrive on Monday, November 23.
Update: Scans of Wal-Mart’s ad are online, confirming the deals on the list — except for the Rock Band 2 deal, which is actually the first Rock Band Special Edition for $50.

Under Xbox 360
Black Friday isn’t the only day in November where prices are eviscerated and sweet deals are distributed like confetti at a Flaming Lips concert. Wal-Mart has begun posting ads for a batch of sales being offered this coming Saturday morning — one of which will be particularly intriguing to the prospective holiday console buyers among you. While supplies last (and we assume they won’t last long), anyone who purchases a $199 Xbox 360 Arcade bundle will receive a $100 gift card to boot.
A free Benjamin’s worth of Wal-Mart products? That’s enough to buy a couple of games for your new system! And it’s only $35 short of the price of an Xbox 360 120GB hard drive! Or, you could buy two Xbox 360 Arcade bundles, and then have enough in gift card money to get a third one — plus another $100 gift card — for free! It seems we’ve beaten the system, as it were. Wal-Mart, consider yourself outfoxed.

Under Wii / Nintendo
A loss prevention specialist in a Florida Wal-Mart bagged themselves quite the trophy shoplifter this past week — a fugitive named Daniel Larson, who was wanted for violating probation after a 2006 armed robbery charge. After being arrested and charged with larceny earlier in the month, he was released after presenting authorities with a fake I.D., and was placed on top of the Cape Coral, FL “Most Wanted” list.
His illicitly acquired freedom came to a sudden halt following his attempt to shoplift $120 worth of Nintendo DS titles from a local Wal-Mart. A loss prevention officer noticed the odd, rectangular shapes jutting out of his pants, and subdued him until authorities arrived. During police questioning, Larson claimed he was stealing the games to support his heroin addiction.
Then again, we wonder if that’s really the true story. “Please, man,” Larson might have said to the arresting officer, “don’t tell them about my insatiable addiction for Imagine: Babyz games. I know! You could say I planned on pawning them to buy heroin! Please, come on, man. This would absolutely ruin me.”
