Mark Wilson — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:38:27 EST

We haven't seen a full ad scan on Sam's Club's Black Friday sale yet, but this potentially leaked list making the rounds now isn't much to write home about.

Below are only the parts of the list that we could even merit pasting. The bold items look like the best deals.

Sam's Club Jumps The Gun on Selling Windows 7 Laptops

Sean Fallon — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:20:00 EDT

If you happen to live in the Loveland Colorado area, one blogger claims that the local Sam's Club is already selling a Toshiba 10.1" Mini Laptop with Windows 7 Starter Edition.

Granted, these pictures aren't the most convincing in the world, but even if some Sam's Club did break the street date, who the hell wants a $400 laptop with Starter Edition? Seriously, you only have to wait like 2 more weeks. Patience. [Protzmantech Thanks Ryan!]

Verizon Motorola Sholes With Android Will Be On Sale By The Holidays

Joanna Stern — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:40:00 EDT

'Tis going to be the season of new cell phones. Boy Genius Report has gotten a hold of holiday inventory lists from Target and Sam's Club. The details are juicy and include the rumored Verizon Motorola Sholes Android phone.

You can check out the raw material in the leaked documents below, but here is the most interesting stuff to me:

• The Sam's Club document includes the Verizon Motorola Sholes (also been rumored to be called the Droid or Tao). From the tiny picture, the Android phone seems to have a front-facing camera. We already know a good deal of the rest of the specs. Say it is so: Verizon is finally going to get some 'droid!
• The Verizon BlackBerry Storm 2 is finally on its way to Sam's Club, Target and Best Buy. It will be joined BlackBerry Curve 2 or LG Chocolate Touch.
• Don't forget yesterday's Best Buy leaks: the Nokia Booklet 3G netbook is listed and launching on October 25 with the option of AT&T activation. The retailer will also have the Palm Pixi and plans to have "new BlackBerry devices across multiple carriers."

That could be all the exciting holiday phone news we see and not to mention lots of them will be able to run full Flash! Not a bad way to start off the week. [Boy Genius Report]

Sam's Club Selling $100K Electric Super Car Along With Gallon Jugs of Mayo

Sean Fallon — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 15:00:00 EST

During these uncertain financial times, buying in bulk is a good way to save some extra cash. Whether you are looking for razorblades, TP or electric sports cars—Sam's Club has you covered. Their "Once-In-A-Lifetime Electric Super Car Package" includes Hybrid Technologies' new electric sports car with a top speed of 150 MPH, a 5 second 0-60 time and a range of 200 miles along with an invite to a race track in LA (with first-class airfare and accommodations) to put the car through its paces. Hybrid Technologies will even ship the car to your home free of charge after your racetrack experience. All you need is a Sam's Club membership (check), $100K to burn (damn), and be the first to complete the purchase online starting after 12 p.m. CST on November 12, 2008. [Sam's Club via Jalopnik]

The Biggest Xbox 360 Bundle Yet (In Size and Value)

Mark Wilson — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:45:00 EDT

Exclusive to Sam's Club this November, Microsoft is releasing their quite literal biggest bundle to date. The box is huuuge and just bursting with a 60GB Xbox 360 Pro console, Lego Indiana Jones, Kung Fu Panda and Guitar Hero III with the guitar. Priced at $350, that's only $50 more than the Pro unit runs alone. So yes, it's a pretty good deal that's probably worth the forest-worth of trees that each box requires to come to fruition.

UPDATE: Also, it seems that Walmart and Sam's Club will be the exclusive sellers of an Xbox 360 dragon controller. More details on that as they come in.

Black Friday at Sam's Club: TVs, Cams and a Game Chair

Matt Buchanan — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 15:00:58 EST

Not a wealth of goodies at ridonkulously low prices being tossed at shoppers, but Mr. Walton's got a few deals up his warehouse-sized sleeves. Weirdly, they've split them between the B&M and online stores. Heading up the in-store specials is a 42-inch Sharp Aquos LCD—no model number given, par for the course in this ad—for $866.

There's also a 52-inch Vizio LCD for $1889 in-store, but you'll probably get what you pay for, and a usually $250 Samsung DVD camcorder for $200. Online, the Rose and Gold DS bundles are 5 bucks cheaper, and they're practically giving away the Renegade Game Chair for $180. Oh, and the walk-in wine vault's a steal for only $20,000.

Dealzmodo: Sam's Club Xbox 360 HD DVD Drives for $72

Jason Chen — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 13:00:18 EDT

If you're looking for a great deal on HD DVD drives for the Xbox 360, now's the perfect time to hit up Sam's Club. Reader Chris tipped us off to this $72 deal, which is coming as a result of "Wal-Mart" not stocking these HD DVD drives anymore. Chris isn't sure whether they meant only Sam's Club or Sam's Club and Wal-Mart, but you're probably set on getting one at Sam's. Incidentally, can anyone see if Wal-Mart is doing this as well?

In light of recent announcements from Wal-Mart that they're going to stock tons of cheap HD DVD drives, having an even cheaper drive for the Xbox 360 may not make sense. They don't want to confuse and conflict with what they're trying to do there. – Jason Chen

Thanks Chris!

Dealzmodo: Free Boat With $495,000 Sam's Club Lifetime Membership

Mark Wilson — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 16:00:27 EDT

Is the boat free, or is the membership thrown in? It's a tough call. But what we do know is that Sam's club is offering quite the delectable combo at the moment.

The Windsor Craft 36 immediately evokes heartfelt nostalgia for wooden boats of a bygone era, and yet it has all the advantages of being a thoroughly modern boat...hand-crafted in Turkey by old world craftsmen who, with an expert eye, select each mahogany plank.

But we want to hear more about this membership! Sure, even a lifetime of Clubbing still only saves you $40 a year. But what if you live to 12,000?

Didn't count on that one, did you? – Mark Wilson

Thanks Pavel! We thing this was just spammed to us, but funny nonetheless.
