Another HD-DVD player for $200 at Walmart

Venturer HD-DVD Player

Wal-Mart is now selling another Hi-Def video player for what appears to be the sweet spot of $200. The Venturer SDH7000 HD DVD player is no-name brand, based in Ontario, Canada, with manufacturing plants in China. The SDH7000 has support for 1080i with an HDMI hookup and also has Ethernet connectivity for downloads and updates.

A $200 price for an HD DVD player is pretty good, but it doesn’t seem as impressive knowing that Toshiba has the HD-A2 HD DVD player for the same price which makes the launch of this Venturer player somewhat anti-climatic.

The cheapest Blu-ray player available is currently the Sony BDP-S300 which Wal-Mart has for $348, but you can always get a 40GB PS3 for $400, which seems like a better deal.  Let the format wars continue!
