Walmart kicked off the morning lineup craze three weeks early with its Saturday-only electronics sale. Crecente was there at 7:30 a.m. down there to file a live report, if by "live report" one means, "buy a Blu-Ray player."

• Today is the one-day only special in which you can grab an Xbox 360 Arcade with a $100 store gift card for $199. Obviously, if yours sells hard drives, you can do the math; that $100 gift card becomes your ticket to a roomier ride for $100 less.
• Should you miss Walmart's sale - it is today only - or you want the bigger setup with two games, Dell is once again your friend. The Xbox 360 Elite Winter 2009 Bundle includes Lego Batman and Pure, and it's $269.99 with free shipping. [TechDealDigger]
• The "Value Edition" of The Beatles: Rock Band - this includes guitar and drums peripherals but not the Beatles' signature instruments - is down to $99.99 through Amazon. Normally the kit is $140. [TDD]
• Guitar Hero 5 took a $24 haircut on Buy.com and is only $69.99, game and git-tar. Deal's good for Wii, PS3 and 360 versions. [Dealzon
