Wal-Mart is rolling out the discounts in three stages.
Phase 1: Beginning at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, the best
in-store deals are on toys, games, home goods and clothing. These include Xbox
360 4GB with SkyLanders bundle for $149; Nintendo's Wii console for $89; a Crock
Pot 6-quart slow cooker and Mr. Coffee programmable 12-cup coffee maker for
$9.44 each; DVD and Blu-ray movies for $1.96 to $9.96 each; video games for $10
to $25 each; Barbie, Bratz and Disney Princess dolls for $5 each.
Phase 2: At 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, the deals mostly
focus on electronics. Among them, Samsung 43-inch, 720p plasma HDTV for $378; HP
15.6 -inch laptop with 4GB and 320GB hard drive for $279; Beats by Dr. Dre
headphones for $179.95 and Samsung Smart ST195 digital camera for $99.
Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., Wal-Mart is also guaranteeing that customers who
are already inside its store and waiting online will be able to buy three
special deals -- Apple iPad2 16GB with Wi-Fi for $399 plus get a $75 Walmart
gift card; Emerson®32" 720p LCD TV for $148 and LG Blu-ray Player for $38.
MacNaughton said the Wal-Mart is offering that guarantee because it has enough
inventory of those three products to meet the anticipated demand.
Phase 3: On Black Friday, Wal-Mart's deals, which roll out
at 5 a.m., mostly focus on home goods, jewelry, tires and furniture.
Wal-Mart is also offering separate Thanksgiving
Day and Black Friday deals on electronics, TVs and toys that will only be
available online.
