2 million HD DVD (but which one?) players for Wal-Mart

A big thanks to Finn for the info !
According to the Chinese media, Taiwan based company Fuh Yuan, in cooperation with TDK, should produce 2 million HD DVD players for Wal-Mart, representing a deal of around 100 million dollars.

--- Sorry for the previous News, but we were lost in the translation , We had to read Blu-Ray HD DVD... in Chinese it is 藍光 = blue ray ---

It's blue laser HD DVD. HD DVD also uses blue laser, not just Blu-ray.

Why would you guys think they mean Blu-Ray? The chinese article clearly states HD-DVD. It can't be any more obvious than that! HD-DVD is HD-DVD all over the world. If chinese people say HD-DVD, they mean HD-DVD and not Blu-Ray.

"De Nile" is a river. ALL the native chinese posters say "blue light HD DVD" is the meaning of the phrase used in the article - NOT "Blu-Ray", which is a trademark and would appear as "Blu-Ray".

That Bluray fanbois are trying to fool people into thinking this is not clear in it's meaning is rather "sad" (as in pathetic, really).

I don't know what's all the fuss.
TDK makes blu-rays not hd-dvds, they are part of the DBA board for chirst's sake.
Even in light of the new imation/tdk merger, If they meant hd-dvd they would have said Fuh Yuan, in cooperation with Imation.
What's more likely, blue laser HD DVD or blu-ray HD DVD?
Want berry this once for all? Call TDK as ask them what are they doing with Fuh Yuan.

TDK is an exclusive Blu-ray supporter and a member of BDA board.
Blue laser HD DVD could mean both blu-ray or hd-dvd but TDK only makes discs for one of them.
