Circuit City, Amazon.com and other retailers are now selling the Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player for less than $200, more than $100 less than Toshiba's MSRP for the device.
The price drop came over the weekend after online reports surfaced that Wal-Mart was preparing to offering the player for $198 through a select number of it's brick-and-mortar stores. The nation's largest retailer will reportedly offer the $198 pricing on the HD-A2 on Nov. 3.
The HD-A2 from Toshiba debuted early in 2007 for $500, but has steadily reduced in price over the past 10 months with online and other retailers recently offering the player for $225 to $300. The dip below the $200 price point marks a first for the next-generation DVD formats, and puts the standalone HD DVD player more than $300 below the lowest priced Blu-ray player, Sony's PlayStation 3 console.
