Despite the retail giant"s plans to offer a sub-$200 Toshiba HD DVD player, Walmart was recently beaten to the punch time-wise by CircuitCity and now price-wise by BestBuy. Toshiba"s HD-A2, which started out at $500, is now priced at $180 on BestBuy"s website. Unfortunately, the stock for shipping has already sold out and there seems to be limited availibilty for store pickup. The HD-A2 is, after all, an outdated product that retailers want to clear off the shelves. Toshiba and Sony still have quite a while until the holidays; there"s no telling what they have prepared to win movie-lovers over. The HD war continues: to the consumer"s delight, prices are dropping, but to the consumer"s dismay, a winner has yet to emerge.
