Wal-Mart launches secret 'Early Black Friday' website

More

Well, well. The world's largest retailer has launched an apparently "secret website" that details some special offers for an "Early Black Friday" that will start pleasing shoppers the morning of November 2. The regular Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) Christmas Shop website is already open to the general public, but this special section is apparently available only if you know the web link to get there. Neat-o!

Examples of items on sale tomorrow morning include a Sanyo 50" plasma HDTV selling for $998 and an Acer laptop PC selling for $348. While a $350 laptop was in the mix last Black Friday, a large 50" plasma TV for under $1,000 is quite a new entry for low prices on big flat-panel HDTVs. Customers will surely be lining up for that one.

Another interesting sale angle here are HD DVD movie titles for under $15. Generally, the higher-quality HD DVD format sells for $27 to $30 at Wal-Mart (as opposed to $10 and $19 for regular DVD titles), so HD DVD fans may be lining up at the doors as well to score cheap-o high-def movie titles.

Wal-Mart is at it again, folks -- chopping the prices on popular products in perfect Black Friday fashion -- just a little under a month early. It's quite a treat to see four of the five items listed here coming from the consumer electronics department. Perhaps Best Buy, Inc. (NYSE: BBY) merchandising execs can commence with pulling out their own hair right about now. That, or responding with similar price cuts -- if they can.
