Why do people think that the HD DVD promotions group has any ability to comment on this? Wal-Mart placed the order and is selling the thing. Fuh Yuan is making them. Those two parties have the right to comment on the transaction (the last time I checked, these types of transactions were usually private). The only way the HD DVD promotions group could comment is if given permission by Wal-Mart or Fuh Yuan. Obviously this is ammo in Wal-Marts gun against other retailers, and they probably don't want to spill all the beans and allow them to develop a response. It's business 101 folks. At least we now see that Engadget has some bias in its reporting...
