It's official. CNN Money and Fortune Magazine confirm on October 25th that Wal-Mart has begun selling Toshiba's second-generation HD-A2 HD DVD player for $198.
Wal-Mart spokesperson Melissa O'Brien confirmed the rollback: "We reduced our HD DVD Toshiba player, the generation-two, to $198 earlier in the week." O'Brien also denied rumors that each Wal-Mart store would stock only 18 units of the Toshiba player, saying: "There are no limited quantities for stores or purchases."
Hi-Def Digest reports that the $198 price for Toshiba HD-A2 is currently being offered for in-store purchases only. Wal-Mart's website still lists the player at $274.
unless they get some Blu ray players for that price also. It's not rocket science.
But it's obviously gonna push HD DVD players for that price.
Now they are facing not 1 but 2 pretty brutal rivals, they don't just have to deal with Microsoft, they also have to deal with Toshiba who is pretty much the DVD king.
Why did you do 3 post in a row? and why did post #2 sound like it's replying to your 1st post?
#1 "Blu ray is f*cked"
#2 "I don't know if it's F*cked"
