Walmart is beating the Black Friday competition by cashing in on early November sales. This Saturday (Nov. 7th) Walmart will be selling Xbox 360 Arcade systems for $199 with a $100 Walmart Gift Card.

Hey folks, I want to reach out to everyone in the 2K Sports world and let you know that we’re diligently working on a game update for NBA 2K10.
