Wally World Toy Prices Lower This Year

It has been recently announced that Walmart’s prices on its toys this holiday season will be lower than a lot of it’s competitors’. Their holiday toy prices beat out Target, Sears, and Kmart. Most of their toys will even be less than Amazon.

Walmart holiday toy prices were compared with a group of about 15 toys that included Playskool’s Let’s Rock Elmo icon, and The Leapfrog Leap Pad Explorer icon. They were shown to be 9 percent higher at Target and 13 percent more expensive at Kmart.



When compared to Amazon, about 18 items were shown to be priced lower at Walmart. And when compared to Toys R Us, the world’s biggest toy store, 12 items were shown to be priced lower at Walmart.

Walmart banks its holiday toy repuation on having the lowest prices during the holidays, those low prices are touted on toys and electronics as gift items more than any other category.

If things go as in previous years, Walmart will cut prices on perhaps another hundred toys, including more additions to its 100-toys-under-$10 lineup. It has also previously cut the prices of popular board games like Candyland and Yahtzee to $5, and marked down many popular toys.

The retailer also offers free shipping on most of it’s online toy orders picked up in-store, including bikes and scooters.

Thanks to a weak housing market, and a stock market under attack by “occupy wall street” protests, and slow job growth, it’s predicted that this year’s holiday season retail growth will slow to 2.8 percent.

Digital TV Is More Efficient Than Analog

Sales of digital televisions are quickly surpassing their analog counterparts. So what's the hype?! Why should you pay more for a digital TV with the same size screen? Find out here!

If you already have an analog set and wish to upgrade it to a digital one its possible by using digital tuner decoder though it will display the high quality pictures as provided by the original digital sets. In today’s market you find digital quality sets are available and the best news is that their prices have decreased.

The cable providers always do not supply with digital cables which digital signals. As such cables do not meet the standards when a digital cable is connected to a digital TV it will receive only analog signal, thus eliminating the advantages of a digital television. A solution for this is the digital quality pictures provided by satellite service providers.

Digital TV is used for the latest innovation in entertainment the HDTV. Here you get to watch pictures in a wider screen with more clarity than in analog sets. The picture quality and the audio clarity are far better as compared with the analog.

If this revolution from analog to digital continues what about consumers who have analog system is a question which ponders the minds of many.
For this a transition period has been set up and that is through the year 2006. If necessity requires then that can be extended too.
