After an event filled, news busting, media overload of a week that has been E3 it's break time and no new HD DVD releases will be out this week. Sorry guys. And yes, it is true that E3 has absolutely nothing to do with HD DVD or its release schedule, but we had to make up some kind of excuse for the lack of movies this week. We humbly walk away now and leave you with nothing ... it's break time.
Tomorrow brings four new HD DVD releases none of which are super duper brand new releases, but they are for the most part pretty entertaining movies. We'll let you take a look at the new releases below ... okay, now we have other good news. This week Best Buy is offering a few HD DVDs for the gotta have 'em price of $14.99. The discounted movies include V For Vendetta, Troy, Goodfellas, Phantom of the Opera, and The Last Samurai. Good deals, so go buy, go buy now!
We're sorry, we apologize, and we ask for your forgiveness. This Week in HD DVD is a day late in reporting your HD DVD releases this week due to unforeseen circumstances. Well, mostly because yesterday was a tad hectic and we forgot, but still that was unforeseen. But the good news is that you won't have to wait to pick up your HD DVD fix this week, because all the movies listed below are available today! Go ahead friends, check out what this week has to offer and make your purchase today.
Apparently, the HD DVD drive add-on for the Xbox 360 has been selling like hot cakes. The HD DVD Group announced back in April that it sold over 100,000 standalone players in the U.S. in its first year of being on the market. These numbers did not include HD DVD PC drives or the Xbox 360's peripheral. More recently, however an MS representative stated that the HD DVD add-on has sold over 155,000 units in the U.S., over 50% more sales than the standalone sets. Perhaps the $200 price tag, or less, has really helped push units. Do you have an HD DVD drive for your 360?
This week Circuit City is offering all kinds of deals, some we've seen before while others are new. But be sure to note that most (if not all) are in-store only deals, so let's get to it. This week they brought back two deals including the two free HD DVD offer with the purchase of the Xbox 360 HD DVD player and the 4' tall Master Chief wall graphic with a Halo 3 preorder. For new deals we have a free tshirt with the purchase of Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia and an offer for our PC fanboys. This week you can get Halo 2 Vista for $39.99 and with the purchase you'll get Shadowrun Vista for free! Two PC games for $40, not too shabby at all. So, that's it and be sure to remember that most of these deals aren't available online. Happy spending!
We warned you last week that June 19th wouldn't bring any happiness and it looks like we were spot on. There are no HD DVDs coming out this week, because movie studios have a thing for clustering their releases on the same day. Oh well, next week we promise there will be new HD DVD material, so that's always good. And you could always be thankful that your HD format of choice isn't rotting away. See, you have to be positive, even if it is at the expense of other's HD format.
We've seen our share of great deals here at Xbox 360 Fanboy, but this one absolutely takes the cake. It seems a Wal-Mart in Metairie, Louisiana has discounted the $199 peripheral by a staggering $139, reducing the price to $60. A shopper has posted photos of both the price in question and a receipt as proof. Before you speed to the nearest location, endangering countless civilians, you should know that Wal-Mart.com still lists the device at $199.82 (a whole 17 cents off MSRP!). Still, if you live in Metairie (or know someone who does) you'd better act fast. There's no telling when someone at the corporate office will get word of this chicanery.
Now this is how a HD DVD release week should be! This week's offerings are numerous including some old, some new, some bad and some good movies. But it's not really about which ones we like or dislike, it's about the quantity and variety that this week brings. So, celebrate the bountiful HD DVD cornucopia of movie happiness by picking up a few flicks tomorrow, because next week just might be a little depressing.
If you're in the market for the Xbox 360 HD DVD player and want to jump start your movie library, then this week may be the time to make the purchase. At both Best Buy and Circuit City you'll get two HD DVDs for free with a 360 HD DVD player purchase. Which leaves you with a total of three free movies, because the King Kong HD DVD is included with the player. Now only if they offered a free 50" 1080p HD television as part of the deal, then we'd probably pick up two.This week's HD DVD lineup is pretty much dedicated to one comedic funny man who goes by the name of Eddie Murphy.
