This is the most outrageously awesome promotion I've seen yet for HD-DVD. It's official: I'm in!

If I didn't already own one since last year, I would be all over this. Hell I still might just buy it.

HEROES SUCKS! When are you guys gonna figure that out?

I was hoping this would be in £'s but I saw the dreaded dollar sign. Gutted.

Ooooooh, very tempting. I remain on the HD/BR DVD sidelines waiting for these idiots to sort this out, but this is the first offer that has attracted my attention. Still probably going to pass until a HD format winner emerges.

I'm a Hero and XBox fan but I don't think this deal does enough. With the announcement of the $399 PS3/40GB/Blu-Ray system...Microsoft needs to get the price down on the HD DVD drive to about $99. And they probably should offer a $50 instant rebate this holiday season. If they did that then prices

w/Rebate w/Rebate+HD-DVD
XBox Arcade $229 $329
XBox Pro $299 $399
XBox Elite $399 $499

That brings the Pro more inline with the new 40GB/PS3 sku..less 20GBs. But make the elite a better deal overall.

Sony is using the money gained in the sale of their Cell Processor/Facilities to Toshiba to finance these cuts. I'm fairly certain in their minds, the are willing to lose $400-500 million to regain some momentum. My guess, is they are hoping for 3 million console sales this holiday.

$179.99 for an add-on that will soon be dead? Nielsen number show Bluray leading the war.

That's a tough sale. Plus it doesn't match my Elite and would stick out like a sore thumb.

I'll give you $99...but it's got to be BLACK.

What worries me and actually prevents me from laying down my money for this is that after I am done watching these 7 HD-DVDs I need to rent HD-DVDs . Since Blockbuster does not carry HD-DVDs, it puts a big damper in my plans to rent them out(I know I have Netflix but I would rather have choice from whom I rent) Also my current choice is Blockbuster since I also have a store close to my home and the Web+Store convenience is nice to have.

Hate to admit this, but I just triple failed in another stories comments section

No matter

I know what you mean by having choice, but for anyone that has netflix anyway, the HD-DVD addon is great. Bestbuy will have HD-DVD and Blu-Ray eventually (mine already does I think) but I can see why people would be hesistant, since they can't just go out and rent a new movie from a local store at this point.

Transformers was amazing on DVD. I can't wait to see it on HD-DVD. The thought has my spider senses tingling.

4. Yes

8. I'm holding out for black too. Not getting until that happens, if never - so be it.

Damn it. If I buy this now they are going to come out with the black drive next month. I'm very very close to buying the HD-DVD add on.

good deal... even if you don't like Heroes, ebay it! LOL

as with a previous poster said, they need to drop the price on the HD DVD player to win this war.
First to reach $99 for a player, will win this war!

Have you seen BB's selection of BD discs? It's like one of each and mostly old titles... On-line rentals is much better and you can get HD that way...

Where is this deal availble?! Can I buy it in the UK? IS it region fre?

looks like im getting a 2nd hddvd player sunday morning....

Looks like I'll be getting this and reselling the drive.
