On black friday?! are you crazy man?!
I made the mistake of going to a wal mart on black firday one time... People were lining up at 3 in the morning, in the freezing rain.When the doors open fights broke out and people were being trampled. I couldn't believe it.
Inside the store... "this is madness!" "madness? THIS IS WAL MAAAART!"

If you're fast enough, you can pull it off. I was at the edge of the parking lot one year when Wal-Mart and made it to the electronics section before anybody else. Good luck!

I got my PS3 bundle at Walmart at around 2am last night. I had one of the employees look it up on the item locater, and there were about 30 of each floating around various Walmarts within 25 minutes of here. If they don't sell out too early, you can try to get them to look it up for you so that you can find out which store has it. Here are the UPC's, according to FYE's website:
Rock Band: Special Edition [PlayStation 3] UPC: 014633159141
Rock Band [PlayStation 3] UPC: 014633158700
Rock Band: Special Edition [Xbox 360] UPC: 014633159110
Rock Band [Xbox 360] UPC: 014633158717
Remember, the bundle is the Special Edition.

As an Associate at a small Wal-Mart Supercenter, do not be 100% sure your walmart has Positive on hands for any RB bundle, as the game came out 12AM Tuesday, several stores sold out and they dont have the quanity left for Black Friday Blitz. If the store did have quanity left, an email from Home Office(WM HQ) went out on wed. about 2PM CST requiring all stores to pull their remaining bundles from the shelves until 5AM Friday.
IN terms of quanity, my WM got about a 3:1 ration Xbox to PS3 bundles, with no future orders pending. So i would get to your walmart very early on Friday and ask if they even have bundles left for Blitz. It could save you an hour of poking around black shrink wrap trying to find where Rock Band is Located within the store.

you can also check the website for stock. it might not be as up to date as the clerk doing it for you in store, but obviously on thanksgiving in store is not an option.

Well I just got home from Black Friday shopping, only reason im home is I have to go to work today at 11. So I get to Walmart around 4:30am, i'm number 500 in line, maybe more, and I was w/ my grandmother and mother, and I was talking to some chicks in line (scoping out my competition as I call it) and they were only intrested in tool boxes, so I said to my mom, I dont stand a chance in getting another bundle today, but oh well I have one already, ill just walk in calmly, look around for it, no big deal, so we get into the store at about 5:15 am, and I make my way slowly to the electronics dept. and I turn the aisle to approach the electronics dept, and LIKE A MADMAN I SAW THE ROCKBAND BUNDLES, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MINE MINE MINE, I turned into a monster, the pile was diminishing before my eyes, they had at least 20 for each console, but I grabbed a spiffy mint condition box....My arms hurt from lugging it around the store for an hour, we didn't get a cart. Upon leaving, they were practically GONE!

Oh yeah, and it was a madhouse there till about 6 or so.
