Two Million HD DVD Players for Walmart?

This would be pretty good news for HD DVD fans, as Walmart having this much of a vested interest is always good for a product's longevity. And I have to agree with their thinking, for them to commit this much, the units will have to be one of the lowest priced units ever. Curious if it'll compete with Xbox360's HD DVD addon which is only $199?

Walmart has placed an order for two million HD DVD players with "Fukuhiko Electronics" a Taiwan based OEM equipment manufacturer for other consumer electronic companies. Another company will handle the actual production, the "Great Wall Corporation" of China, at least that's the way I read it by way of an admittedly rough Babelfish new window translation.
