First Sub-$200 HD DVD Player

This very well might be the nail in the coffin for Blu-Ray, the Venturer HD DVD player will be selling for $199. The SHD7000 will play back HD DVDs at 1080i, Dolby TrueHD, and will have HDMI output.

Since this is the first Sub-$200 next-gen DVD player, this must just be what starts to break the market right open. With most consumers sitting back and waiting until the prices get at that sweet spot, this might be the next door crashed at Wal-Mart.
