The Walmart Black Friday ad leaked out to many deal collecting sites earlier this week, but until yesterday they kept it offline under threat of legal action by the mega retailer. After the OK was finally given, the entire Walmart Black Friday ad has been posted and it contains a lot of deals. Best of all, you won't have to wait outside for any of the savings since Walmart will be open all night over Thanksgiving -- although you will have to wait until 5 a.m. to make your purchases.

Lovers of Activision Blizzard Inc.'s latest offering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, propelled the first-day sales numbers into the record books, raking in an estimated $310 million in North America and the United Kingdom alone. A move sure to help the gaming industry's slumping October sales.

Fans of the game waited in lines for hours to for the clock to strike midnight on Tuesday, November 10, contributing to Activision's estimates that it sold about 4.7 million copies of the game in the first 24 hours it was available. That makes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the biggest-selling launch in the history of entertainment.

The game, which sells for $60 and plays on Windows-based computers, Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3, is sure to be at the top of many Black Friday shopper's lists.

Shoppers hoping to save a Black Friday buck or two on Call of Duty should check Best Buy's Black Friday ad. And not just for Call of Duty deals. The retailer will be offering several hot new releases at reduced Black Friday prices. For instance, Left For Dead 2, which will debut on Nov 17 for $60 will list 10 days later for $34.99

For other red-hot Black Friday deals and news coverage stay tuned to WalletPop's Black Friday Deals 2009.

Don't miss our Liveblog, all day November 28!

This morning, Best Buy confirmed the doorbusters WalletPop covered in our last Black Friday roundup and also announced a new "Daily Deal" promotion that kicks off on December 7th. The doorbuster confirmation comes on top of the numerous deals which are already live on Best Buy's website and adds; a 50" Plasma HDTV for $899, Wii games for $9.99 and many other deals starting at 5 AM on Black Friday.

Best Buy will also be offering many of their Black Friday deals online starting at 2 AM EST on Friday as well as participating in Cyber Monday on December 1st; but the real treat is that they will be serving up a new deal, every day, from December 7th through the 18th! On each of these days, Best Buy will offer one deal of "excellent value" at BestBuy.com until it is sold out. Best Buy hasn't revealed what these items will be, but it is likely that these sales will involve deep discounts and low quantities so be ready to click, click click!

One deal per day promotions aren't new; Woot.com is a popular online retailer that offers up anything from exercise bikes to "bags of crap" one day at a time and Amazon will again be running a "Ridiculous Deals" promotion with steep discounts on a limited number of items from November 28th through December 4th. Best Buy, however, is one of the first traditional retailers to embrace this new sales method and is expected to come out swinging with low prices for the 11 day event.

Be sure to stay abreast of the latest Black Friday news by checking on WalletPop's Black Friday Deals page early and often!
