    "Not available in all stores." -- WTF?? -- of course, Walmart won't tell you which stores they'll be in. Also "While quantities last." Geez. Awesome deal if you can find it.

    While quantities last is a standard disclaimer so they don't have to issue rainchecks once they run out. Walmart is also running a tv commercial dedicated just to HD DVD, so I would imagine most all will have them.

    HD DVD's at Walmart for $14.87:
    Clerks 2
    Lucky # S7even
    Pulse
    Failure to Launch
    4 Brothers
    Italian Job
    Sleepy Hollow
    Casino
    12 Monkeys
    Backdraft
    Big Lebowski
    Sea Biscuit
    Alexander Revisted
    Blood Diamond
    Full Metal Jacket
    The Last Samurai
    Swordfish
    Unforgiven

    Man, that is a heckuva deal. Wonder how early you'd have to get to Wally mart tomorrow to get in on this deal? 5:00AM? 4:00AM?

    Hmm, they must have updated the web-site. When I go to the link it doesn't list the HD-DVD player on sale.

    Click on the image of the item and you can put in your zip code to find stores near you. It shows availability, too.

    For that price, I'll add a third HD-DVD player if I can find one tomorrow. I need something in the bedroom and might as well be HD.

    This might be what I've been looking for to hop on the hi-def bandwagon. For $100, how can you go wrong?

    Despite Blu-Ray's claims of success, HD-DVD certainly isn't making it easy for them.

    man, I don't think they have any at the Wal Mart near me.

    If anyone stockpiles and has an extra to sell, I'd be willing to buy one or two and pay for shipping. They are really light, so I'm sure shipping would be about $10 or so each.

    Sami - if you find any in your part of town, give me a call. I'll pm you my cell number.

    I'll look at some WalMarts around North Dallas / Addison and let you know as well.
