Here are some of the juicy details from slickdeals.net:

Q: Are There The New Jasper Units (the newest ones that don’t break because of overheating)?
A: Yes – Most should be. Arcades were the first models to switch over. No one is 100% sure what models of Arcades these will be though. It’s possible Microsoft is moving a large supply of old Falcon units that other retailers refuse to accept because savvy customers won’t buy them. This [360-hq.com] site shows how you can tell. Usually without even opening the box you can see the power requirements through the cut-out. 

Q: Does it have HDMI?
A: Yes it has HDMI output, you can either purchase a generic hdmi cable or the official ones which come with an adapter that has optical audio out.

Q: What kind of gift card is it?
A: No one knows for sure. It likely depends on if they offer it online, and if they do, in that case, it will be an egift card. As for when you buy the item at a B&M store, it will likely be a regular gift card. This is how it was done last year. YES, there’s an online product page right now that states it comes with an egift card and that the item isn’t available online, however, like last year, it is probably just a placeholder. These special Saturday items surprisingly became available online even after being advertised as B&M this this time last year. So people please, calm down. Things aren’t always what they seem

Q: When does this sale start??
A: Nov 7th @ 8am at ALL locations.

The question that a number of people seem to be asking on the internet is if they can buy the Xbox Arcade console, get the $100 gift card and then return the console later and keep the gift card. Chances are Walmart will not allow this. Your best bet if will not use the $100 Walmart gift card is to sell it to Giftah for $70 and get cash for it, reducing the cost of your new xbox console to only $129!!

The details as to the quantities available and if you can get a raincheck on this deal are not clear, but the consensus seems strong: head to your local Walmart bright and early if you want to get one!

Early Christmas Shopping Guide

The first thing you should do is set an overall “Christmas budget” for yourself. The economy has been very tough for a lot of people around the world this past year so if you need some extra cash to increase that Christmas budget look around your house, find gift cards that are collecting dust and not being unused (you can find out how to check their balances by looking through our many “check your gift card balance” blog posts), and sell them to Giftah! We are able to pay you up to 80% of the value left in the gift card!

The next thing you should aim to do is create a list, either manually by hand or grab a list of friends from a social network such as Facebook, of all the people that have not been naughty this year and are worthy of a gift. Now comes the hard part: you must split that total budget you came up with earlier and spread it through the various people in your list. Try to spend more on the people that you are closer to and the most special in your life. For everybody in the list pick 2-4 things you thing they are interested in; this is where an online social network would come in handy as it lists all their hobbies or you can even get hints of what they might be wanting this time around by looking at their wall posts…

If you are not certain what to get everybody browse around the Giftah website to get some ideas! Giftah offers a number of cheap gift cards to various electronic stores, theaters, restaurants, book stores, jewelry stores, spas and many more; so you can save money for Christmas! Some stores to definitely check out include: the apple store (for all your ipod/iphone needs), best buy (for all your general electronic needs), ticketmaster (let the people on your list buy tickets to concerts and movies to get them in the holiday spirit as A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey).
