I am just wondering if that means they are getting rid of them?

well, it says clearance above the price, and no new model to replace it...

HD-DVD players on clearance seems to be happening very fast in the USA. Let's hope that this is the end of this unsophisticated format. Is Toshiba's mind being made up for them???

Toshiba

HD-DVD

it's like hot potato... no one wants to be the last retail store to have HD-DVD players...

stockstar1138 · 01-28-2008, 03:07 AM

huh? what? penton and bill were right again. this time about retail dropping dud, i thought they were just part of phase hydra!

The trend will continue. Look for a big bomb to be dropped soon in retail.

I hope pawn shops have enough room for the hd-dead players coming in soon.

I still find it funny that the so called 'cheap chinese players' are more expensive than Toshiba's own models. And they wonder why their format failed.

The Venturer is just a rebadged A3. If you look at videos from last years Cedia, it's the exact same player.

What kind of tv would you be running if you used a Venture HD DVD player. That's why HD DVD is going to lose because the people buying these crappy machiens (Venture) dont give a tinkers damn about home theater.

reiella · 01-28-2008, 03:03 AM

When did walmart even get them in stock? Thought they refused them for stock or something last year... Heh, oh well.

stockstar1138 · 01-28-2008, 03:14 AM

obviously just a glitch with the system. pricing errors happen all the time. everybody but the blubots knows wal mart sells more hd dvd then blu-ray could possibly imagine, nielsens get really skewed cause wal mart isnt included. the real ratio is more like 55:45, tops its 60:40.
