HDDVD & HDDVD player for the xbox 360 - bargains to be had!

Some eXceem members, myself included, have been taking advantage in the drop of HDDVD prices for both the disks, and the hardware to play them. You can view our discussion in this forum thread.

The Microsoft add-on HD DVD player for the xbox 360 can be found for as cheap as £14.99, with Amazon currently selling it for £24.99

Online stores such as HMV & Play.com have been running HD DVD sale's with some really low prices!

While it may be "old technology" with blu ray winning the recent format war, its still a great chance to put together a HD DVD collection for a great prices.

MY GOD I DIDNT REALISE HOW CHEAP IT WAS!
Guess bluray overlaped in the race for HD format.
Oh well still worth a try, i assume at this current stage the quality wont be too different compared to bluray would it?
Thanks JON

While I dont know the exact spec's, I think that even if there was a difference, unless you had a 50"+ tv your eyes wouldnt see much of a difference at all

Exactly, which is why the hd dvd player and the dvds are brilliant value, because i can't fault the picture!
