Wal-Mart has just penned an agreement with a Chinese manufacturer for 2 MILLION HD-DVD players priced to the street at $299.

It looks like it will be staged deployment, as the last batch of players are to hit by close of 2008. If Wally World can sell 2 million HD-DVD players, this will extend the war a bit longer.

$299 is nearly $300 less than the least expensive Blu-Ray players.
