Rumor: Wal-Mart's Black Friday deals [update]
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Nov 19th 2009 at 8:00PM } 
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.

Cheesus Crust @ Nov 19th 2009 10:39PM
Damn lol. I'm jumping on that PS3 deal.

Like Megadeth says:
GOOD MOURNING BLACK FRIDAY!
corey @ Nov 19th 2009 8:02PM
i'm hoping for some good deals!
Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Nov 19th 2009 8:05PM
Oooh...I'm liking the PS3 deal. Although I already have The Dark Knight. Still, this is definitely something to keep my eye on...
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 19th 2009 8:06PM
I need more than just a list of '40 titles at this price'
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 19th 2009 8:20PM

A slightly more complete list.
sonicspike41 @ Nov 19th 2009 8:30PM
"Miley Cyrus - The Time Of Our Lives CD (Saturday) - $5.00"
*Gets Napoleon Dynamite voice ready*
YES!
Filthy Assistant @ Nov 19th 2009 9:13PM
I'm sure a lot of the titles are crap but I too would like to see a complete list of the cheaper stuff. I'll definitely get Lock's Quest for 7 bucks.
Autopsy15 @ Nov 19th 2009 11:55PM
What the hell? COD4 - $25 GTAIV- $10....From what I remember GTAIV came out after COD4 and sold a hell of a lot more. WTF?
Anyway, also Boondock Saints for 10 bucks on Blu-ray. Might have to make a trip over to Wal-mart next Friday.
Filthy Assistant @ Nov 20th 2009 4:08AM
Boondock Saints is an awful fucking movie. Are you in college?
Obie @ Nov 19th 2009 8:10PM
$50 for the WHOLE rockband kit? Man, I might make the jump now!
crisypumpkins @ Nov 19th 2009 8:11PM
I get gas when i eat cheese.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 19th 2009 8:12PM
Can you read? The contest is OVER!
sonicspike41 @ Nov 19th 2009 8:19PM
Hey Joystiq, next time you do a contest can it be a trap? Something to trick all the people who don't read. Like:
1) Post a random off topic comment on each marked article.
2) Also post a comment in this article.
3) This is crucial. You must ignore the first rule. Anyone caught performing the act in the first rule will be excluded from the contest. You must follow every other rule, including the second rule and this one. Following the first rule will get you excluded from the contest!

Bravo, Crisy... Bravo.

Autopsy15 @ Nov 19th 2009 11:53PM
What contest? He just wanted to let everyone know that dairy products give him gas.
Reuben @ Nov 19th 2009 8:11PM
$50 for Rock Band 2 is fantastic, but there is no way in hell that I'm going over there on Black Friday.
fdigankar @ Nov 19th 2009 8:25PM
man, if i new they'd make all these cool ps3 bundles i wouldn't have bought my slim 2 months ago
Autopsy15 @ Nov 19th 2009 11:51PM
Who doesn't know that all the great console deals pop up around Black Friday? That's pretty much common sense.
NintendoJunkie @ Nov 19th 2009 8:14PM
Since Walmart will be pricematching on BF, I am assuming that it will be done @ each register by each cashier, because it would be beyond hellish to wait in line @ the customer service desk.
It seems that this is just 360 & PS3 versions of Rockband. No Wii? If not, then I may still pick it up for the PS3 since it's quite a steal @ that price.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to import your own songs (mp3's) into Rock Band? I know it's possible on the homebrew channel for the Wii.
sonicspike41 @ Nov 19th 2009 8:22PM
They do have the Rock Band Network, which will let you use a Windows-based PC to "sell" songs in Rock Band. You might try looking for more information on that to see if a song you want is already available. Otherwise, as far as I understand Rock Band can't analyze a song and automatically create note charts for it, so that would be no to importing MP3 files.
crisypumpkins @ Nov 19th 2009 8:14PM
ah doh! for some reason the ps2 story didnt show up.. i only saw the bayonetta one =(
Pete @ Nov 19th 2009 8:17PM
sorry to burst everyones bubble
but its the original rockband
not rock band 2
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 19th 2009 8:19PM
Yes, this is true. The ad shows RB 1.
finnith @ Nov 20th 2009 12:08AM
You're just saying that to eliminate any competition.
nutman @ Nov 19th 2009 8:16PM
I heard about the PS3 deal on CAGcast and it is NOT worth it!
It's a doorbuster so you'll have to get to Walmart at, what, 12 AM? The store opens at 5.
Not worth it...
davideogamer @ Nov 19th 2009 8:25PM
Good god, man, does your mother not let you out later than 9PM, or have you just never had to wake up earlier than noon? If I had money, I could very easily just take a bus to one of these stores around midnight and just wait there at the front of the line playing my PSP or DS. It would be incredibly fun...in fact, I might do it ANYWAY just to see a horde of people flip out, running like zombies to get Left 4 Dead 2 at discount prices.
nutman @ Nov 19th 2009 11:39PM
haha, what?
If you think it's fun to wait in line 5 hours in 30 degree weather to get the CHANCE of getting a PS3 at $299 with 2 free games, and a movie then go right ahead. No one's stopping you.
Personally, I think if you have a job you're better off just buying the shit rather than becoming one of the Black Friday people -- Or worse, one of the people KILLED by the Black Friday people.
HSOL @ Nov 19th 2009 8:30PM
Damn, I really want the $50 rock band 2 deal but I don't want to wait out in the cold for 5 hours and get stampeded by a bunch of crazy people.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 19th 2009 8:31PM
It's Rock Band 1. Not 2.
Yeah TB @ Nov 19th 2009 8:32PM
Why don't you guys just link to all the deals out there instead of rolling one rumor out a day?

You have to be a member to see most topics (including that one) on cheapassgamer.com
Is there anyway to tell what the bulk lists of games in any of the console categories actually are without going to Walmart next Friday morning?
I bought my PS3 at Walmart on Black Friday two years ago (got the Motorstorm PS3 bundle with 10 free bluray movies, $500)..
Marc @ Nov 19th 2009 9:10PM
Wow. I sent them an ACTUAL scan of the wal-mart black friday ad, DAYS AGO. And instead, they sit on it and then promote some dumb website and call it a "rumor". Real good reporting! That "send us a tip" tab is worthless. Only use it if you plan on including cash and agree to advertise on this site.
Z(+)DIAC @ Nov 19th 2009 10:58PM
I'm not going to lie, but I agree with this guy. I'm not sure how these guys can take their job that seriously when they post a RUMOR that not only is false, but whose answer has been known FOR DAYS. Hell, google any major Black Friday website and you can clearly see the Wal-Mart (and many other stores) adscans.
Seriously though Joystiq, pick up the f***ing slack!
KnuxSonic @ Nov 20th 2009 12:52AM
Yup, if you look at the actual ad scans (which have been out for a few days), it shows Rock Band Special Edition for $50.
The key here is that there's no "2" in there. It's the original Rock Band kit. :(
Bawlguy @ Nov 19th 2009 10:59PM
No Wii rock band 2, No buy.
