Walmart's 2010 Black Friday and Getting Your XBox Kinect (ContributorNetwork)

If you are looking to get an XBox with Kinect on Black Friday at Wal-Mart, you may find yourself out of luck, if the retailer is offering a big discount on the game system. Here are some Black Friday hunting tips to help you find that Kinect at Wal-Mart.

1. Check a regional map of all the Wal-Marts in your area

You can use Yahoo Maps or Google Maps and type in Wal-Mart. There will pop up all the Wal-Marts in your area. Immediately eliminate all the Wal-Marts in the more densely populated areas. You want to head to Wal-Marts that out of the way. When the Wii was hot in demand last year, it was the Wal-Marts out in "cow country" that had the hard to find game system in stock.

2. Talk to employees and managers

Go to those far flung Wal-Marts a few days before Black Friday and ask them about the Kinect. If they have the system in stock and when it will be stocked for Black Friday. Chances are you can get an exact time when the systems will be in stock and you can be first-in-line to get the system.

3. Check online at Walmart.com

Walmart will also have most of their inventory for sale online. The Kinect may or may not be in-stock. However, you should check with the site to see if you can get your Kinect online as opposed to the store.

4. Split up

If you have relatives or friends that can go with you on Black Friday, split up. Go to one out-of-the-way Wal-Mart and have your friend or family member go to the other location. By dividing up, you double the chances of getting finding the Kinect in stock.

5. Talk to a relative or friend in a rural area

Let's say you live in Los Angeles or in the New York metro area, chances are, all the Wal-Marts will be out of the Kinect. However, if you have a friend or family member in rural Missouri, they may live close to a Wal-Mart that is stocked with the Kinect. It's a good idea to get in touch with these family members to help you find out if those rural Wal-mArts have the game system in stock.

if the Kniect is on sale, at Wal-Mart, for Black Friday, there is almost certainly going to be a shortage of the game system. The key to getting the game will be to head to Wal-Marts that are in the less populated areas in your area. It will also help if you and your friends and family divide up and check several Wal-Mart locations.
