Think about it. It makes sense for them. It comes to cost. hd-dvd movies are cheaper to make, hd-dvd makers and backers are now desperate, Wallmart can sweep in and make the deal of a life time knowing they are one of the few people that could actually change their fate. Sony is the one pushing blu-ray they're the one taking a loss on the ps3, do you think Sony wants to take another cut to bring Walmart in, while they are already winning? heck no. They'll call Walmarts bluff.
Honestly I think this is quite cool to watch as someone who doesn't care either way, it's sort of a war of the giants. Sony seemed powerful enough to turn the tides, but is Walmart even more powerful? I tell you what, come christmas when people see $199.99 players and they just bought a hd tv, it's going to be hard to pass up. Not to mention movies that came out on both have all been reviewed better on the hd-dvd player. If this plan works for Walmart Sony may be forced to lower the price of the ps3. Or Walmart will have to back off. But honestly when you read the article and also this goes for any consumer electronic store they really don't make that much money on selling movies it's their to bring in foot traffic. So Walmart has nothing to lose. It will definitly be interesting.
