    Bought an HD-DVD player!

    Yep, finally bought the add-on drive for my Xbox 360. I've been thinking about one for a while, and for some reason the Warner announcement really got me wanting one. Sure enough I found one one Ebay for right at $100 with 6 movies!

    DANG this thing is awesome and it runs like buttah. It works so much better than I ever would have thought. No noise at all (unlike the drive in the 360 console). If you've got a 360 don't hesitate to get this drive! I figure you can't go wrong for $100-ish...it doesn't take an extra input on your A/V gear, you can get most HD-DVD's for $10 on ebay, and Amazon had most of their new HD-DVD's for $14.99 last week. It was a killer week to go HD.

    And heck I figure even if HD-DVD's cease production tomorrow I've got a nice player that plays existing HD discs, upcoverts regular DVD's, and allows me to have both a game and a movie in the console so I can switch back & fourth (my attention span is short).

    Got a 360? Get the HD Drive.

    Does that thing play the newer audio formats (lossless, or uncompressed)? That's been holding me back...

    No, it doesn't. Not much of a loss though, most HDDVD have a DD+ track

    100 bucks! you have a bargain. I really want one of those too. I would like the top line Toshiba player. Have several friends with one already. They are very good. Well done N.Abstentia..

    Cool

    THE WARNER ANNOUNCMENT made you want to buy one? You like pain or something?
    Why does the imminent demise of a format make you want to buy into it?
    And you "saved" money, theres a reason that players so cheap.
    Sorry, but nothing good can come from this. At all.
