Well what have we here? It seems that a “retail tipster” sent Kotaku the following inventory screen showing this potentially enticing deal: an Xbox 360 Arcade system for $199 “with $100 GC.” Let’s pretend for fun that “GC” means “gift card” shall we?
You’ll also notice a few other pretty aggressive deals: 42-inch TV for $498, HP laptop for $298, Sony Blu-ray player for $148, and so on and so forth.
This is still all in the rumor phase, although there’s apparently an official announcement expected tomorrow. The above screenshot looks plausible, too, I suppose.
UPDATE: It’s all legit. See Walmart.com for details.
im gonna sleep outside my local walmart for this deal.
You’re going to sleep outside a 24 hour Wal-Mart? I’d at least go bunker down in the bedding section and wait it out.
I’m with Raikus. You’ll be the only jackass sleeping outside.
I think this is for black friday. If you read the bit above it.
my local walmart isnt open 24hrs till black friday you noobs. This is for this saturday *possibly*
Hmmm, the “week 41″ on the screen does not line up to this coming week nor black Friday week. It would have been the week of October 11th. (if it’s the calander year, not fiscal) A good hoax? I hope not… “Best deal ever!”

Walmart’s fiscal year starts on February 1st, so 41 weeks into it would be this up coming Saturday.
Cheers to good deals!
I will be buying my own X-Mas present again this year if this happens.
Nice, to bad I only have one though :(
