The ad is real . I generated it.
If you click on it, there is no price and no preorders on Wal-Mart's page.
It is probably a placeholder. It is the high end of estimates. Last time, Nintendo sold at the high end of estimates. Something tells me it will be different this time. And @spurgeonryan, Wal-Mart will sell if lower than $350 (I hope you were being sarcastic).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

This is a placeholder IMO. I still think $300 is the price they are targeting and $350 is just the max they expect it may turn out to be based on many variables.
