With Thanksgiving still weeks away, Walmart is hoping to lure pre-holiday shoppers by rolling back prices and rolling out a pre-Black Friday sale.

This Saturday and Sunday will be The Amazing Walmart Electronics Event, starting at 8:00 a.m. in stores. That means if you have any reason to go to Walmart, this is probably not the weekend to go—unless you’re also looking for a few cheapie deals.

The black Friday event at Walmart is a fraudulent advertisement. It says Walmart has started a price war in electronics and drastically “rolledback” prices, which the others are trying to follow. I went to Walmart this morning and found NO advertised item on the floor. Instead, the items which were on the floor had “rolled UP” the price. This seems to be an attempt from Walmart to lure in the customers by fooling them with such low class methods. About one of the items their website said “out of stock” updated on 12AM ET, 6 Nov; it was out of stock 9 hours before the sale started in the east
