Target.com has a pre-order listing for Venturer’s upcoming “cheap” HD DVD player. The only problem is the player is priced at $249.99. This contradicts the previous press release indicating the player will be priced at $199.00 or less. We wonder who on earth would buy this player, since our local Costco has the Toshiba HD-D2 for the same price.

Target is selling the HD-A2 for its full list price of $299, however you can get it at Amazon.com for $238.
We’ll know for sure in a few weeks as this player shows up elsewhere, but it looks like the pricing strategy is $249 list, and something closer to $199 discounted.
