In a shocking turn in the Format War, Wal-Mart has announced it will be selling the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for $98.87 during a 8am door buster sale this Friday. We can only imagine the rhetoric that is going on in the various forums at the moment. One thing to remember, supplies are LIMITED, and not all Wal-Mart stores carry the HD-A2.
Haha, hmm, lets see, 5 of these players at walmart or 1 Sony S300 player at Target for the same price of all 5. Now that my friends is a very tough decision! Could have all your christmas shopping done, and also have picture-in-picture capabilities, ethernet port, web features, better interactivity that runs fast and efficient and doesn’t take 4-5 minutes loading spinning pirate keys or grinding gears like Crank does for the Java loaded discs. Can’t wait to see what happens over the next 2 months, they say Walmart has 2 million of these available, say goodbye to your PS3 effect, blu-ray backers! Dont forget VHS battle over Beta was won by cheaper price and porn. Hmm, HD DVD has both of that.

Wow. I’m gonna have to jump on that. That’s too good to pass up for gift giving.

Pathetic attempt really.
And now Best Buy is in on the deal:

It is like a chain reaction!
Sounds like some of the BD bois are upset over this. Great bit of marketing..
