Walmart takes Black Friday seriously. Like, really seriously. This year is no exception, and looking through Walmart’s Black Friday deals right now, you can tell stores are going to go insane on Thanksgiving.

Walmart has provided a list of all its biggest discounts already, even though Black Friday is still weeks away. The headline deals include some truly stupid savings on TVs, a couple cool gadgets that would look good under a Christmas tree, and a whole lot more.

Let’s start with the TVs. The blockbuster deal here is a 55-inch Philips Smart 4K TV for $298, which is a very small amount of money to pay for something so big and with so many pixels. I actually own the 65-inch version of that same TV, and while the picture isn’t anything to write home about, it’s still a great TV for watching movies, and the smart features mean easy YouTube and Netflix. But really, for the price, it could call you names every time you turn it on and still be a great deal.

There’s other TVs that are going to be available, with most of the best deals on lower-end panels. There’s a 60-inch Vizio for $398 and a 50-inch 4K Samsung for $398 as well.

Video game consoles are also seeing good prices, with the PS4 Slim 500GB Uncharted 4 bundle set for sale at $249 (and a $30 gift card), and the Xbox One S White 500GB Battlefield bundle for $249. Those are equal with the best prices we’ve seen for console bundles.

Drones are another category that Walmart is going big on, with the DJI Drone Phantom Standard 3 for $369, Promark 3D Virtual Reality HD Drone for $99, and Sharper Image Video Drone for $30.

More than just the price, though, Walmart execs are promising widespread availability on the best products. Steve Bratspies, the CMO of Walmart, said that “we’ve secured significant availability of these items. We pride ourselves on not being the retailer who advertises a great price and then only has a few available.”

To help curtail some of the mad rushes through stores we’ve seen, Walmart will be using wristbands for some of the more in-demand items. Customers can get a wristband for an item from an associate, then go find the thing, and make it to checkout in two hours.

Sales will begin online at 12.01AM ET on Thanksgiving morning, with physical stores opening at 6PM local time on Thanksgiving Day.

Sales aren’t only limited to Black Friday, though. In the runup to the event, Walmart will be offering some exclusive sales through the Walmart app. Good deals include a 65-inch Hitachi 4K TV for $599, and the Xbox One S 500GB Minecraft Console with an extra controller for $279.
