Wal-Mart offering (limited quantity) HD-DVD players for $100 tomorrow

It's the Toshiba HD-A2 (1080i) and it's not available in all stores. Smart marketing or desperation move?

They will also have select HD-DVDs for $15 each.

I personally don't even know if my Wal-Mart will have these since they currently don't stock any Hi-Def players from either camp unless you count the game systems (PS3-Blu-Ray & HD-DVD player for XBOX 360). Strangely enough they do have a fairly decent selection of Hi-Def movies (go figure).

For what it's worth, there were very strong rumors that later this month WalMart will announce a cheap HD-DVD player in time for Christmas. If I could get a good deal on an HD-DVD player that can do 1080p I would buy one right now.

FWIW: Any decent HD TV will display a quality image from 1080i or 1080p. Not to mention there are many other considerations to take into account besides just choosing 1080p "because it is best".
