If you have ever wanted to purchase a new Xbox 360, this weekend is the time to go for it. Walmart has confirmed that it will be running a great sale.
Xbox 360 arcade for $199 but you also receive a $100 walmart gift card. So effectively you will only be paying $100 for the arcade.

Walmart's official website today confirms the rumor we broke yesterday about one heck of a deal on the Xbox 360 Arcade.
Listed among the one day in-store specials for this Saturday, Nov. 7, is an Xbox 360 Arcade console for $199 that comes with a $100 gift card. Other deals include discounted TVs, a Blu-ray player, DVD player and laptop.
More interesting, though, is what our sources tell us about the sale.
This weekend's one-day sale is just the first of weekly sales that will be hitting Walmart in the lead up to the post Thanksgiving retail sales explosion known as Black Friday.
We're told that this is Walmart's attempt at pulling a little of the focus off that huge shopping day and trying to spread the wealth over the entire month. So look out for future deals, perhaps including more gaming price cuts.
