As reported yesterday Wal-Mart has started selling the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for $198 in its stores but not online.
Circuit City has decided to follow and now sells the HD DVD player for $197.99 both online and in its stores.
Next week will show if even more stores will start selling the player below $200.
Players sold at the new low price also include the 5 Free HD DVDs mail in offer.

How does this have to do anything with videogame industry?
Reported by: ngg12345
you sonykids can't be serious?, this isn't your first visit to n4g right? its posted under industry news both micro and of course sony play a big part in making both next gen movie formats a revelant part of the videogame industry news, personally I would rather read news about videogames all day long vs this stupid format war stuff, but in fairness it should be either we are going to stop reporting ALL HD format news or ALL news about both formats/hardware from a legit source is acceptable, and frankly it will be a cold day in hell before sonykids stop posting news about HD DVD being dead or "OMG bluray has already won!" hmmm, OK I'm not sure but you gentlemen didn't report this GOOD NEWS for HD DVD because you favor the "other" HD format, did you?, nah of course not, how silly of me to think such a thing, my apologies, Gentlemen=

vvvv I disagree with you, your report says "How does this have to do anything with videogame industry?" as I stated above both micro and sony make it revelant because they both support two opposing HD formats, micro indirectly with a add on and sony directly since it is included in every ps3,
your report is baseless since hardware price points for bluray and hd dvd has been posted and accepted on n4g as news by gamers who are interested in these formats, at the very least you should avoid this news rather than report it, fact is this IS big news because it COULD have a significant impact on HD DVD movie sales increasing dramatically "IF", I said "IF" alot your avg joe consumers decides to pick up this player= Walmart alone already accounts for 45% of the DVD market in the US, now Circuit City is going the same route by selling these Toshiba players under $200= who are you kidding this is big news, whether or not it turns out to be the big boost HD DVD needs, we dont know, maybe I wouldn't call you a sonykid if you dont patronize me while acting as if this is some sort of sale going on down the street at some Mom&Pop corner store= we both no better.
This is going to help boost HD-DVD sales, but for how long, I see the BDA responding to this soon BTW, the HD-A2 player is currently ranked 3 in DVD players in amazon.
Well im buying one Ive been waiting for a Sub 200 dollar Hd-Dvd player it doesn't hurt that its a Toshiba thats a good brand. Cant wait to see transformers in HD.

So the myriad of Blu-ray offers is news and should be allowed, but HD-DVD stuff is spam? It's funny how things work, isn't it?

HMV is offering 2 free BDs with the purchase of a 40 gig PS3. do we create a sales thread on this . You get 5 BD movies with the purchase of a ps3....do we create stories on this ?
Reported by: shmee
shmee/nasim you are abusing the reporting system, in fact your arguement is flawed since ps3 bluray offers have been posted as legitimate news, and this news is NO different from the Walmart thread which was approved and had over a hundred comments= now all of a sudden this news "fake" "lame" and "spam" or in other words you're going to tell mommy 'cause you dont like the news=

There have been numerous reports about Blu-Ray. Now this is a report about HD-DVD. What's the diffrence?!
