Bentonville (AR) - After a long period of speculation, Wal-Mart has answered rumors of an HD DVD player for under $200, making it the cheapest next-gen DVD player to date.

Wal-Mart has officially stocked and begun selling Toshiba's low-cost HD-A2 HD DVD player for $198. The player was already the least expensive standalone HD disc player, but the Wal-Mart price point takes that record even lower.

The player, which only allows playback of up to 1080i content, originally reailed for around $500, but retailers very early marked it down on their own, most notably of which was Amazon. The online giant came close to the $200 point.
