About 1.5 million silver-colored Durabrand DVD players were recalled August 20, and Wal-Mart expanded the recall September 1 to include pink and purple versions of the same player. About 4.2 million total units are now under recall.

Owners should immediately stop using the players and call Wal-Mart at 800-925-6278.

According to the CPSC, the DVD player’s circuit board can overheat. Wal-Mart received seven reports of fires sparked from overheating causing property damage. No injuries have been reported.

The Chinese-made players were sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from January 2006 through July 2009 for about $29.

A Wal-Mart employee died after being trampled and crushed by a horde of over-eager Black Friday shoppers.

At least three others, including a pregnant woman, were also injured in the incident, which occurred as a suburban New York store opened early Friday morning, the Associated Press reports.

According to a police statement obtained by the AP, a throng of shoppers “physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground,” around 5 a.m.

Apple proudly boasted on Thursday that their highly successful iTunes Store has passed Wal-Mart as the top music retailer in the US.

iTunes has sold over four billion songs to over 50 million customers since opening in 2003.

“We launched iTunes less than five years ago, and it has now become the number one music retailer in the world,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s iTunes vice president. “We are thrilled, and would like to thank all of our customers for helping us reach this incredible milestone.”

The ranking comes from market research data from NPD Group’s MusicWatch survey that tracks consumer purchases. iTunes topped Wal-Mart based on their January and February 2008 sales figures, Apple said in a statement.

This is yet another blow to the hard copy, “old way of doing things” music shopping experience. And yet, it is has shown that legal music downloading can and does succeed in the US.

Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club, in a statement released Friday, announced they will completely back the Blu-ray format and phase out existing HD DVD products. The news is potentially a death blow to HD DVD, following the news that Best Buy and Netflix seem to be headed in the same direction.

“We’ve listened to our customers, who are showing a clear preference toward Blu-ray products and movies with their purchases,” said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Home Entertainment, Wal-Mart, U.S. “With the customers best interest in all we do, we wanted to share our decision and timeline with them as soon as possible, knowing it will help simplify their purchase decision, increase selection, and increase adoption long term.”

“We anticipate enhancing our selection with continued great values in hi-definition Blu-ray products, so our customers can further enhance their entertainment experience at home.”

By June, Wal-Mart and Sam’s stores will only offer Blu-ray hardware and DVD’s. 2008 has not been kind to HD DVD. Toshiba rang in the new year by getting the devastating news that Warner Bros. would produce all of their HD titles on Blu-ray.

Walmart is trying to increase its electronics section’s popularity and awareness this holiday season by building up to black Friday with a “secret sale.”

Every Friday this month till the infamous Friday after Thanksgiving, they will be selling five items for a greatly discounted price. This week, they have Fisher Price Nascar Ride-On for $144.72, Sanyo 50″ Plasma HDTV for $998.00, Acer Laptop $348 and a few HD DVD’s for $14.96.

But the most interesting offer is that the Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player will sell for $98.87. They all say while supplies last, and the HD-DVD player and the HDTV are only available at select stores.

Unfortunatly, they don’t specify which select stores….

Best Buy is offering the same HD-DVD player for $99, but their website lists it as sold out.
