(It also does make sense to me when these items are normally "casual" life items like bedroom sized TVs or netbooks. Not something that will necessarily play a big role in your productive or entertainment life.)

I don't get it either. I've never been before, and wasn't sure what to expect. Honestly, they said the TV would be available online (they lied), and I fully expected to buy one at some point on my iPhone Walmart App while I was waiting in line. My plan was to get in line, and at 12:01 purchase the TV, and say "so long suckers".....No luck, as I checked frequently between 12 and 5, with the price never moving off of $328....

I also had a $100 Walmart gift card, I got from work, so that bought the price down to a nice $98....

Again, though...

I couldn't imagine that the Walmart people would run such a half-assed event. My 10 year old could have planned it better. Would not do it again....
