Most pundits (e.g., Phillip Swann) have been saying that Blu-ray will beat out HD DVD in the high definition disc format wars, but don't count the latter out just yet. Matthew Moskovciak from CNET reports that Wal-Mart and Best Buy are offering the Toshiba HD-A2 for sale at $99 while quantities last, one-fourth the cost of the cheapest Blu-ray player. To sweeten this sweet deal, Toshiba is offering five free movies. I bought the HD DVD format when it reached $300 at Costco a few months ago -- but then I owned two Betamax VCRs by the time I realized that VHS was going to win. Link: CNET. --Dennis
