Wal-mart bike vs. Shop bike?

For someone new to cycling, is there really a difference between a $250 dollar bike from Wal-Mart and an $800 bike from a bike shop? I have never had a real bike before, i have only borrowed a friends bike. it was a nice bike, but nice in the 80s. I know that the parts will be better on the $800 bike, but is there enough of a difference in WEIGHT/COMPONENTS?
I'm particularly curious if anyone notices a difference in the weight of a cheap bike as well. Thanks
