Continuing with the many ads that have already been leaked out, Wal-Mart has leaked out a few of their ads. Wal-Mart isn’t set to officially release what they’re going to sell until November 24, but they did release a bunch of items so we, at least, have an idea of what’s going to go on there.
First, we have a nice 50 inch Samsung plasma HDTV, which is set to sell for $798.
Continuing with TV’s, we have a Magnavox Blu-Ray player for $128.
Next up is a Xbox 360 console that also comes with Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock and a wireless guitar – all for $199.
Moving on, we have a HP Pavilion desktop computer for $398. Unfortunately, the above items don’t come with model numbers or other specifications, so I can’t really tell you how good the computer is, or what model number the TV is.
Lastly, we have a GE microwave selling for $25.
Melissa O’Brien was asked about the validity of these items, but she didn’t really say anything other than that Wal-Mart will “hare the facts directly with customers on Monday, Nov. 24th.”

I reckon that Wal-Mart have been taking lessons from Jeff Walker and his product launch formula.
A very powerful marketing method.
Every year, Walmart sends out letters to all of the Black Friday web sites telling them not to post the leaked ad. They allow the sites to post the ad about a week before the actual ad comes out, never sooner.
I hope the 2009 ad will be as good as the 2008 ad since Circuit City is gone. We'll see I guess.
That is the wave of the future.. leak leak leak!
