Wal-mart: HD DVD TV Ad and $98.87 player

Wal-mart started the recent price war on HD DVD and they don't seem make it last effort to support the format.

Yesterday they started a TV ad campaign for the Toshiba HD DVD player. Thanks to YouTube you can check it out below:



On Friday 8AM they will launch their "Secret In-Store Specials" where you will be able to buy a Toshiba A2 HD DVD player for an amazing $98.87. They will also sell select movies for $14.87.

Looks like HD DVD may have a new friend among retailers.
