For $198 on 11/13/2007. Also saw about 15 -20 HD-DVD titles on the rack for $19.99 each. Not much more than a regular DVD. If Walmart jumps - and right now they seem to be leaning in the HD-DVD direction - they can cause a real jump in sales with the buying power they pocess.

But we'll see.

It sounds like English, but I can't understand a word you're saying.

That meager selection of HD DVDs didn't interest me. - oscar 15:47:05 11/14/07 (0)
"Sea Biscuit" was the only title I thought about buying. I saw a $15 price tag on "pre-Black" Friday. Two days later I walk into a different Wal-Mart and they were all back up to $25-30 (and $299 A2s !). Even $20 may not be a compelling price for catalog titles when the same titles are available for $5 on DVDs.

Also, I like my lossless audio tracks which is sorely lacking on HD DVDs... Maybe the classic movies will be alright without it but no excuses for the more recent Blockbusters. Not that the mass market would care.
