LOS ANGELES — For Wal-Mart shoppers, prices Saturday may look a little like those on Black Friday.

Hoping to lure shoppers, the world's largest retailer will hold sales at its U.S. stores Saturday to give customers a peek at deals normally offered the day after Thanksgiving.

The sale will start at 11 a.m. and go until midnight. The event, known as Super Saturday, will offer deep discounts on televisions, gaming systems and other items.

Some of the featured items include gaming console Xbox 360 250 GB Console with Kinect for $399 plus a $50 Walmart gift card; tablet book reader Nook Color, sales price $199, originally $249; and a flat-screen television LG 47-inch Class LED TV, $698.

2. They must be hurting bad.

Funny how chickens always come home to roost.

3. An early start on the

chaos and greed (on both ends). I wonder how many will be hurt in the stampede this year?

4. Costco still has better prices; 47" TV for fifty bucks less.

Granted it is a Vizio, not LG, but they all roll down the same Foxconn assmbly line anyway.

7. Vizio tvs have a reputation for self-destructing about ten seconds after the warranty expires.

I don't know if LG's better, but I'd be highly surprised if they were worse.

5. If they do enough of this, Black Friday will go away

Or at least lose some of its hype and idiocy.

I can hope, can't I?
