Same here. Still thought this should be shared though.
Not making a new BF thread for this since it's an incomplete ad. This is Walmart's BF 2019 ad showing only part of the videogame consoles page. I did not obtain this page, it was shared to me. I have no idea if it is real or legit but have faith in my source. The ad is still in the testing phase and not complete at all. This may not be what prices are once the ad is out and this should be taken with a grain of salt. Enjoy, but again, this is not the finished product.

My thoughts exactly... especially the Switch Lite. I could see bundles being offered but a 33% cut on the regular and a 25% cut on the Light is hard to believe. I also feel like that PS4 Pro price is weak. PS4 sales have been staggered due to all the talk of the PS5, I'd think Sony would offer a bundle at that price.
If they're gonna push and push hard to increase their install base as much as they can before Sony drops the PS5, this would be a good way to do it. Especially if they're unloading back stock of the older model Switch at that price. The Switch Lite though, I don't see it getting more than a $25 cut, a bundle offer seems more likely however.
the thing is, while this ad may be fake, the retailer can take that loss if they want. Nintendo may not have an official sale and the store can still price it that way for a few days. I remember 3DS at some stores, named HEB, on Black Friday in 2011 for $99 new, even after the $80 price cut to $170
Not disagreeing with the other stuff but no rainchecks and all items in ad is exactly what Walmart puts in their Black Friday ads.
So what you're saying is there's no way to edit an existing photo?
I hear u
Prices absolutely can be set by manufacturers - there's MSRP, which is a suggested price, and then there's UMRP which is the theoretical minimum a manufacturer will allow a price to be sold for with very few exceptions.
I was specifically talking about Black Friday. Yes, manufacturers can and do set prices (MSRP). UMRP isn't really a term or practice most distributors will enforce since no store wants to lose money by selling an item so low that they lose profits (outside of clearance where they would lose money keeping those items in store or are trying to recoup losses).
No, replying that the verbiage in that picture is exactly what they put in their ads contrary to what was said.
well the posive I guess is Gamerants or whatever it is face you you credit in the video.
Not to mention there is a section listing “general merchandise?” Whaaat? Also not to mention the general layout and color scheme is nothing like any BF ad that Walmart has ever done. It’s not just a fake, it’s a baaaaad fake.
Technically, they did do a "general merchandise" on the last black friday ad. But, that's they used to make this one. They looked at last year, tried to copy the format as close as possible, and said "people will fall for this".
It's time TBH, they have been in last place for two generations now and when PS4 Pro drops to $299 with Switch being the exact same price, they would be steamrolled this Holiday season. PS5 is only a year away now, so if they don't prove the system now, it'll be dead in a year a la WiiU. They should be cutting their losses and had a competitor ready to go next year, but Nintendumb still can't shake elder leadership and the beat goes on with poor decision-making. The only thing keeping them afloat is the 'Disney-effect' of new generations passing on the brand via nostalgia.
The Switch is selling very well. They do not need to drop the price to sell it this holiday season. Sony and Microsoft are gearing up for their new consoles next year and will both likely have consoles for under $200 this Holiday season. I could see the Switch being dropped to $250 on Black Friday, but doubt we will see discounts (save maybe a doorbuster or two) for the Switch Lite. They are going to sell Switch consoles like mad this Christmas they have an incredible library currently.
