November 19: Walmart black Friday sales for 2009 Mania : Walmart Black Friday deals 2009 Craze. The official kickoff for the holiday door buster shopping season is just a week away. But the nation’s retailers, including WalMart and Target are already starting to let shoppers know about their fat discounts in hopes of attracting big crowds.

WalMart’s Black Friday offers include a Sony Bravia 40″ LCD TV for $598.00, Samsung 32″ LCD TV for $398.00, Xbox 360 Arcade Bundle for $199.99, PlayStation 3 with Infamous, Arkham Asylum, and Dark Knight for $299.00, Sony BDP-S369 Blu-ray Player for $148.00, Western Digital 1TB 3.5″ External HDD for $78.00 and TomTom One GPS for $59.00.

BlackFriday.info, which on Wednesday published the Wal-Mart flyer, was allowed to do so when its founder contacted Wal-Mart for permission to use the information they got from a high-quality copy of Wal-Mart’s Black Friday circular.

Earlier, Wal-Mart’s lawyers had sent warnings to websites like DVDTalk.com to stop publishing posts about its deals, after a forum on the site carried a post about the retail giant’s Black Friday prices for several DVDs, Blu-Rays, and videogames.
