I made a mistake. <sigh> Sorry for the confusion.

I went back to the same Wal-Mart (NW Freeway) and examined what they had...
carefully this time. The shelf labels were messed up and two non-Polaroid
units were stacked in the Polaroid space turned sideways so that I could not
see their brand labels. They were in fact Philips recorders (DVDR3455H/37)
for $298.

I knew something was wrong, as you noted... no website had anything about a
Polaroid 160GB unit!

I was also surprised to see that the DRM-2001G units they had in stock had
serial numbers beginning with B06...

Bob, you have this Polaroid unit, right? How are you liking it?
