Sanyo DP46848 46 inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Wal-Mart is getting their Black Friday bargains started a little early with a sale on November 8. They will have a Sanyo DP46848 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV for $798. The Sanyo has not been professionally reviewed, but there is a small discussion thread about it over at AVS Forums (link).

Wal-Mart is also are bringing back a previous bargain: a free $100 Wal-Mart gift card with purchase of a Sony Playstation 3 ($399). If you’re know you’re going to spend $100 on something (e.g., groceries), and it’s available at Wal-Mart, the gift card essentially knocks a $100 off the price of the PS3.

There are a few important details:

  • The deals are only good at 8:00am at a Wal-Mart store. (Online store will have its own specials.)
  • There is a limit of 1 per customer, but they are stocking at least 10 of each item at each store.

*EXPIRED* Bargain: Magnavox Blu-ray Player for $198 (sort of) at Walmart.com

Magnavox NB500MG9

*Update: Deal has expired*

Walmart.com has a deal with all its Blu-ray players, including the Playstation 3. You purchase a Blu-ray player at full price, and you get a $100 gift certificate that can only be used online at Walmart.com. How is this $100 off the price of a Blu-ray player? Well, if  you’re going to buy $100 of something in the near future and it’s available on Walmart.com, it’s the same as saving $100 on $300 spent, right? Ok, it’s more like getting $400 worth of stuff for $300.

The Magnavox NB500MG9 is most notable because it’s the cheapest Blu-ray player at a starting price of $298. It has 1080p output but uses the Blu-ray Profile 1.1.
