Yes, that was the original point of the post. We were just analyzing some numbers and based on "common" knowledge (but obviously not exact numbers), we were discussing with Bodhesatva and I Perdict what possible reasons (business wise) would there be for Walmart would have to offer $100 gift card free - when our analysis shows that the numbers does not make sense.
And the MOST PROBABLE reason is that Blu Ray Manufacturers (such as Sony) must have some incentive, otherwise the retailer suffers a terrible loss.
And like Bod pointed out, Walmart MOST LIKELY doesn't eat losses like that - because that doesn't make any sense.
