英文翻譯如下 :
.........
In addition, in the conference of IFA, "Venturer" of the Chinese enterprise announced the player of pricelow. The OEM is received, Walmart and BESTBUY, with the respective company brand sell the HD DVD player for 199 dollars. In comparison with the BD player, directly it has become cheap. .....
不清楚是翻譯上的錯誤, 還是日本原文的報導已經錯誤.
Amir在avsforum討論區回應受訪時的回答是:
Venturer將會推出us$199的平價HD DVD影碟機. 但就不清楚會否在Walmart或Best Buy售賣.

Some yes, some no . I didn't say anthing about Wal-Mart and BBY players. I simply mentioned the Venturer at $199.
The other parts are correct in that I don't think this year will be a big year relative to DVD. It will be a lot better than last year but we are not going to break into mass market this quickly.
The MMC part is correct although end of the year is my best guess not a guarantee.
The studio giving up on BD is not something I said. I mentioned that when a studio like Paramount gives up on BD, they are not going to turn around and publish again BD next week. And that other BD studios will eventually publish on HD DVD.
