The Key is that this player has an MSRP of $199, which means it could potentially street for less in some places. The Toshiba HD-A3 has an MSRP of $299, and occasionally (BF sales, for example) sold below the $200 price point.
I just recently bough an HD-A3 from Amazon for $175, including the 7 free movies they are currently offering. If they offer the SHD7000 for 40% off at an Amazon or Wal Mart like retailer, I forsee HD-DVD picking up the masses due to its price point.
