I know you usually expect to see official press releases here, but this one was too good to let go unmentioned. According to an article recently posted on Daily Tech, Wal-Mart is advertising that it will sell the Toshiba HD-A2 this Friday for $98.87.

Enjoy,

Not sure what to make of that... Has either camp sold 2 mil of anything? 2 mil units of a 2nd gen product that is being replaced NOW? How many did Best Buy make a deal on? Is Toshiba still producing 2nd gen players? That does not make sense as they are t

I swung by two Wal-Marts. I missed the last one by 5 minutes. Had i gone to the second Wal-Mart I would've scored one for the bedroom. I did score one online. (That deal is now gone, too.) Best Buy has a sale on the A3. I'm not sure what the rules
