Bentonville (AR) - Just days after it began selling an HD DVD player for less than $200, budget retailer Wal-Mart has announced a sale to take that price down to just $98.
Wal-Mart will hold a special one-day sale tomorrow, November 2, with the most notable markdown being Toshiba's HD-A2 HD DVD player at $98.
The device debuted earlier this year and carried an initial MSRP of around $500. Wal-Mart began selling it in late October for just under $200, making it the lowest-priced high-def disc player at a major retailer.
The sale is being touted as a pre-Black Friday sale. "Black Friday" is the day after Thanksgiving, where stores hold their most widely publicized sales of the year (so called because it traditionally is the day when retailers go from "red" to "black" in the accounting books).
Tomorrow's sale begins at Wal-Mart stores around the country at 8:00 AM, and is only available while supplies last (no rainchecks).
