FYI Xbox 360 owners

Today is the last Day to take advantage of this deal.
Buy the Xbox 360 Hd dvd add on for $50. It comes with a free movie and you get to take advantage of the 5 free movies deal... Here
Yes the format is dead...But
I took advantage of the deal for various reasons.
You get an outboard dvd player so you can give your built in lens a break.. thus extending it's life.
There are still some movies that are set to be released in the format so you can buy these and previous releases at a discounted price because retailers are not going to take up valuable space for a dead format. The prices will stay at the 50% off mark or drop further for this reason. ( The current Hd library is over 450 titles).
and last for the price and the promotion you are getting 6 movies (5 in the promotion and King kong) and the player. That's roughly about $9 a movie and a free player...or $7.50 for each piece.

So you Buy it today the 28th and you send in for the offer before March 31st, 2008

Yeah Matt the format is dead but it's still a steal if you just want to use it for reference material. I went to amazon and brought a few nature hd dvd's and I brought Joe Kane's Hd Dvd basics to use it to tune up my system.
As far as the output it depends on what connection you are using on your xbox 360. It connects to the 360 through usb.

For $50 it seems to be worth it. I bought it. Worst case scenario I can always return it if I change my mind or sell it.

So I receivd mine but havent even opened it because I found that Netflix and Blockbuster both stopped carrying HD DVD's and Walmart, Target and the like are still charging full price. By the time they bring prices down to clearance Blu-Ray will proabbly be more affordable anyways. Back to Circuit City it goes.
