Walmart HD-DVD player

A few months ago, there was a news that Walmart is going to sell HD-DVD player under 200$. Any new news on that? Is this going to happen for sure?

Wal-Mart contacted a Chinese company about producing low-cost HD players for them, but they did not want the negotiations publicized. The Chinese company publicized them anyway, causing Wal-Mart to ask the Chinese to retract their press statement, which they did. And that's where we stand, with everything else being speculation and rumor. However, I have no doubt that negotiations, and probably manufacture, of low-cost players are going on as we speak. Everything moves on. We'll know more this Christmas season.

my local wal-marts stopped carrying blu-ray and hd dvd players altogether for a while, but last month, one of them started selling the lowest-priced sony blu-ray player. this past week, it started carrying the hd-a2w (wal-mart's version of the hd-a2).

I think I'm going to wait until there's a Scottish made player. Because if it isn't Scottish, it's crap!

Because Toshiba makes amends for the cost by oneself and is selling a cheap HD DVD player, it is a deficit. The thing that other companies sell home appliance by the deficit strategy like Toshiba cannot be done. Can a cheap player who can obtain an advantage by the labor cost of Taiwan be made?
Funai is full HD LCD HDTV with built-in Blu-ray player.

Nice one, Tim!
