Venturer HD DVD Launches, But Does Anybody Notice?
November 12, 2007

An eagle-eyed reader has pointed out that Target's Web site has begun offering that once highly anticipated Venturer HD DVD player. It's set at $249.99, which isn't quite as low as the $199 pricing initially stated by Venturer executives. But even if the Venturer player had come tagged below $200, wouldn't the product launch still feel anti-climatic? We've already seen Toshiba HD DVD players marked down to $99 at retail. And on Black Friday, Sears will be selling Toshiba's latest third generation HD A3 model, regularly $299, for $169.99 That is nearly $100 less than the new Venturer model. It will be fun to see how Black Friday shakes out, with the slew of lower-priced HD DVD and Blu-ray players on shelves. The deals could be so hot that people will just have to pick up one of each.

The item is listed as being available in "2 to 6 weeks", as it has been for some time. It's certainly not clear that this player is actually available (and as Susanne suggests, who really wants to spend $250 on a no-name player)?
