Venturer SHD7000: $199 HD DVD Player Found Only At Wal-mart

You'll have another relatively low-cost HD DVD player option this Christmas. Venturer has released the SHD7000 HD DVD player, costing $199, and to be carried exclusively by Wal-mart. The player hit the shelves yesterday, so we're waiting anxiously for word regarding the player's performance. While some would argue that the $199 Toshiba HD-A2 would be the better buy due to its higher-quality brand name, the SHD7000 has many of the same features as both the HD-A2 and Toshiba's HD-A3 models. It outputs to 1080i through an HDMI input, hooks up via ethernet for internet-based updates and special movie features, and supports high-quality sound technologies Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD in 5.1-channel surround. Those living in the UK will be able to get their mitts on one after December 29 through the QVC shopping channel.
