Wal-Mart hopes for a Blu-ray boom

Wal-Mart is trying to fill the space in consumers' shopping bags left empty by the disappearance of Circuit City. As part of that effort, the retail giant is stepping up its Blu-ray offering.

In the next few weeks, Wal-Mart will sell two Blu-ray players priced below $200, according to a post on the company's official CheckOutBlog.com. We know one will be a $198 Philips player, though the other sub-$200 player's brand name wasn't revealed.

No it's not. Another company just bought the rights to be able to use circuitcity.com. There's another thread on here about it, but it's Circuit City in name only.

Correct, the Circuit City name was purchased by Systemax owner of Tiger Direct.

I would guess that the other sub $200 Blu-ray player is a Vizio.
