Can you still see it?

I looked through several times-didn't see a Wii.

Since so many of you seem to know a lot about laptops, I have a question about the 2 HP computers in the wm ad. The $298 one is 2 GB, the $398 is 3 GB. I couldn't read much more info. If I use the laptop for school, surfing, disboards, and uploading pictures of my kids, will the 3gb be that much better for me????? I couldn't read much info on the $198 one, but I had an emachines before and wasn't really impressed.

I have 2 2 GB HPs laptops...I use 1 for business, itunes, and pics and one for pics and internet surfing, ect. I ran out of space on the business one after about 5 years of use. And I had thousands of pics on it, thousands of songs, movies in itunes, and thousands of business documents, ect.. Just my experiance...took a ton of stuff to fill that 2G space.

Anyone tell what comes with the Wii for $249? The system (red, black or white) and an extra wiimote and nunchuck I can tell, but I can't make out what other game they are offering with it (besides Mario and Wii Sports Resort it looks like).

I have a question?

WM starts at midnight and the other sales start at 5 AM. Does anyone know how they work this? I am wondering do they open at midnight and you get in line for what you want or are there tickets? I missed WM completely last year.

There are things I could pick up from the midnight sale and just wait till the 5 AM sale but would love to have some type of game plan of how they do it.

The electronics aren't available on line are they?

So I guess I had a few questions

I have the same questions....it's hard to see (at least on the scan I saw) what is available starting at midnight, and available online (I'm interested in the trampoline among lots of others).

For those of you that did this last year too....were most/any of the items available online too??

wait...WM starts at midnight? the ad says 5:00am...where does it say midnight? that would be awesome!

it looks like some items are available starting at 12:01am, but its hard to tell which ones.

Not much better. More ram would be good if you want to do some higher end games but tbh not totally necessary. It will also make the unit run a bit faster because Windows is a bit intensive. I believe reco for windows 7 is 4 gigs.

The pictures, depending on how many you have will make the most difference with the hard drive. Likely unless you are going to be storing tons of video either hard drive will be enough to hold tons and tons of photos or music.

PS...Neither of these would be good for higher end games. That Acer looks like a fairly good deal though. I would say for what you want it for go with the budget choice. Both will likely run about the same for the minimal tasks you need it for.

ah, ok, i see looks like pages 9 through 23 are available beginning at midnight on friday and are good all day, the first 8 pages are friday 5am-11am and the back page is saturday only.

I noticed some of the items say "find only at walmart.com" like for one of the TVs and possibly the Wii and one of the laptops, so maybe some things are gonna be online specials?

Then maybe there will be 5am - 11am specials as well as midnight and saturday specials. Just need a better scan to be able to tell for sure...

 

[Feistygirl916]

So if indeed we can buy things online at 12:01am, is that EST? I am on the west coast, and maybe that means I can start shopping online at 9pm Thanksgiving night? Gah. I sure hope so.

 

[Holly324]

I can't find it...did they pull it? Can someone post a link for it if they can still see it? Thanks!

 

[lulubelle6188]

Also missed the walmart ad Would love a copy if anyone has one. Thanks!

 

[An_Island_Girl]

I just called our local Wal-Mart, and they said that they will not be selling anything until 5AM. Ours isn't a 24 hour store, so maybe that's why the discrepancy?

aaarrrggghhh!!!! I hate that I missed the Wal-Mart ad. Why can't they just go ahead and release it? Did anyone copy it?

Thanks for the laptop advice guys. I just looked again, and both of the HP laptops are 3GB. I'll have to give this one some thought.......

So I am guessing the sale at WM last year started at 3:00am then? Just want to make sure I am online at that time to get my deals!

Do you have any suggestions for me to get a TV?
