Wal-Mart and Toshiba are making it very hard to stay on the fence with this HD format war.
The rumor about a sub-$200 HD DVD player seems to have some legs to it. The HD-A2 HD DVD player from Toshiba, (which you can hardly make out in this blurry ass picture) is not set to be sold until 11/03/07. The guy who posted it said that each store will get 18 units, and that it is a "non-replenishable item", so once they're gone, they're gone. This might be the reason to run out a pick up an HD DVD player (and Transformers), and cut away at Blu-Ray's bottom line.
It might be a good idea for Blu-Ray to respond to something like this, and soon.
