Walmart's Black Friday sale prices were recently revealed, and here's the headline: Not only does the world's biggest retailer has some great stuff on sale, its price drops start the day before most of its competitors: online deals start at 10 p.m. Eastern Time (7 p.m. PT) on Wednesday, Nov. 21, while physical stores don't open until 6 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving. That early online opening should give Walmart an edge on Target, Best Buy, Costco and even Amazon. Oh, and Walmart is throwing in extras like in-store coffee service and other niceties, too.
Scroll down to see a few of our favorite Walmart deals, and check out more deals in the slideshow below. Want the full list? See the complete Walmart Black Friday ad here.
A few notes to keep in mind:
- We linked to the current listing at Walmart's website when one was available, but of course sale pricing won't be available until the sale begins (10 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, Nov. 21).
- CNET may get a share of revenue from the sale of the products featured on this page.
2018 iPad, $250 (save $80)

This deal will be widely available during Black Friday week, but Walmart will have the 2018 iPad on sale first -- a great price for a great gift.
PlayStation 4 Slim 1TB with Spider-Man, $200 (save $160)

The PlayStation 4 is a great all-round console and Spider-Man is one of the best big-budget games released this year. This isn't the PS4 Pro. of course, but for the price, it's a great all-in-one PlayStation starter package with $100 off the hardware, and one of the year's best games (and a PS4 exclusive) thrown in for free.
Xbox One S 1TB Minecraft Creators Bundle, $200 (save $100)

Like the PlayStation 4 deal above, this isn't the more powerful Xbox One X, but it's still a great price, especially if you have kids obsessed with Minecraft. And you can sign up for Xbox Game Pass for $1 now through Jan. 3, too.
That price is not a misprint
65-inch 4K smart Roku TV: $398

This is an insane price on a big TV with Roku, the best smart TV system CNET has ever tested. Walmart's ad says the TV is either the TCL 65S4 or the Sharp LC‑65Q7300U. We haven't reviewed either model directly, but the specifications look similar to the S405 we reviewed in 2017 (pictured), which costs roughly $350 more at 65 inches.
Cheapest. 40-inch TV. Ever.
40-inch Hisense 1080p TV: $99

Neither have we reviewed this Hisense (model 40EU3000), but we're guessing its image quality is on the bottom end of "acceptable," at best. But this is the lowest price we've ever seen for a 40-inch TV. Just last year we were excited about 32-inch TVs for $99. Insanity.
Google Home Hub, $99 (save $50)

That's a whole 33 percent off the extremely handy Google Home Hub, which was just released. And it's got no camera, so it's a more comfortable bedroom and kitchen companion that other smart displays.
Save $40
Instant Pot 8-Quart Pressure Cooker for $59 (save $40)

Mate, who doesn't want to make soup in like 15 minutes? Discounted Instant Pots seem like they're everywhere this year, but this one is a whopping 8 quarts -- and it's $10 cheaper than many rival deals, too.
Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones, $99 (save $50)

The Bose SoundSport earphones are already reasonably priced, $50 off makes them well worth a look.
Retro Arcade Machine (Pac-Man or Galaga), $249 (save $50)

Who wouldn't want an arcade machine in their house?
It's only $50 off, but $249 isn't too bad for Galaga! And Walmart had the exclusive on this Pac-Man machine, for some reason.
Google Home Mini for $25 (half price)

Amazon doesn't sell Google Assistant products because they directly compete with its Alexa-powered Echo speakers. And while this great half-price deal on the Google Home Mini is widely available almost everywhere else, it'll be available earliest online at Walmart.
Roku Ultra for $48 (half price)

The highest-end Roku improves on our favorite 4K streamer, the Streaming Stick Plus, with a headphone jack on the remote, a remote finder and, new for 2018, JBL headphones, a $30 value. This price is also available at Target and elsewhere, but Walmart throws in a $35 credit for Sling TV, a $5 Vudu credit and one free month of Showtime, an $11 value, to get you to buy it there. (Disclosure: Showtime is a division of CBS, parent company of CNET.)
