HD-DVD: for sale at Wal-Mart

It seems that Wal-Mart is putting out Toshiba's HD-DVD player on fire sale. This Friday (Nov 2), they are going to sell HD-A2 player for $98.87 (cheapest I can find today is for $180). What a deal!

If the next-gen DVD was a toss up until now, HD-DVD may have found the killer-app (or at least the killer distributor) via Wal-Mart. I realize the PS3 provides a discounted Blu-Ray player, but that's still not going to come down below $100. If Toshiba fails with HD-DVD, they really have themselves to blame, since there will be tons of players out in the market place with this sale....
