Walmart (WMT)
Wal-Mart, already engaged in a price war with Amazon, upped the ante heading into the holiday season, cutting the online pre-order prices of some upcoming DVDs to $10 after last month's Web-boom price war over books.
Amazon and Target then cut their own prices. That pushed the No. 1 retailer to take a few more cents off, dropping its prices down to $9.98.
